I can tell you this: I find living in the U.S. much less restrictive than I would living in, say, Saudi Arabia, Iran or rural Afghanistan. And that's as a man; it would be even more true if I were a woman.by Isildur - OT Board

I don't consider Bush's beliefs to be sincere. He talks a good game, but I seriously question whether he believes any of it. Huckabee, for better or worse, seems sincere in his beliefs.by Isildur - OT Board
Actually voting for the democratic candidate does more damage to the Republican candidate's chances to win than does not voting at all. We live in Texas, though, so his vote in the general election is pretty meaningless.by Isildur - OT Board
I read today that Rupert Murdoch is supporting Clinton. How wack is that? I like Paul, but I have to admit Huckabee comes across as the "nicer" more "caring" guy. That's something people really resonate with. Interestingly my dad, someone who's always voted Republican, said that if McCain doesn't win the Republican nomination then he's either votingby Isildur - OT Board

Couple thoughts: 1. Did he have some special reason to hate your character? 2. Did you locate the items on him afterwards, so you're sure it was him who took them? I know I've located corpses in obscure places and looted them before.by Isildur - Char Board
And I actually read them all. I never interacted with your character even once in game, or any of the others you reference, so I have no idea what actually went on. But if it's a contest of your word against Kanye's then I'm going with yours. That said, it's worth noting that almost every one of your characters gets criticized by someone for being dickish and/or excessivelyby Isildur - Char Board

I think Blizzard has a testing center in Austin. There are a few other small-time game shops. I've heard that's a pretty wretched existence, though. If you're not adverse to doing restaurant type stuff, could try to get a job on campus. Maybe a barrista or something.by Isildur - OT Board

Gulf of Mexico is supposed to be terrible as well. The currents don't let anything get "out" once it's dumped, so it all washes up on the US/Mexico coast. I forget the exact statistic, but I think it would take several tens of years for it to all wash up even if zero new stuff were being dumped.by Isildur - OT Board
I thought he was trying to say that the most "winningest" CFers are all unattractive, anti-social losers who live with their parents and play CF all day.by Isildur - Main Board
Some of the most successful CFers tend to also be "successful" at "life" using the typical measures (career, relationships, etc.) Nepenthe- married, software consultant. Zulghinlour- married, kids, lead test engineer Valguarnera- no idea what his personal situation is, but he has a doctorate and is gainfully employed Kastellyn- navy pilot, fairly high ranking, now doingby Isildur - Main Board
1080p TVs are native 1920x1080. That's going to put SERIOUS stress on a video card, so you better spend big in that category. For the more taxing games, even top-of-the-line $500 graphics is going to struggle to maintain decent frame rates at 1920x1080. You could always run it at a lower resolution and have the TV upscale it to 1920x1080 but you're going to lose some quality. If aby Isildur - OT Board
I haven't run the numbers, but I highly suspect you're better off just buying a better one-card setup unless you plan to spend more than $500 on your system's graphics.by Isildur - OT Board

Prevents someone from getting too far ahead and just keeping the title indefinitely. He should also toy with the idea of making it "per hours played".by Isildur - Main Board

My goal is to lose 25 lb, from 195 to 170, inside 3 months and get in good enough shape that I can run a 5K in "decent time". By autumn I'd like to be able to do a 10K.by Isildur - OT Board
