Me, rewatching all the eps up to the one coming out today.
Who here plays Guildwars, impressions/thoughts on it?
keep in mind that, generally, I hate fantasy settings. unless they involve redheads and whipped cream
Is the underlying game good enough to make that overlookable? anyone? anyone? Beuller?

Something about the beige and the shape of the old IBMs floods my mind with modems, monochrome terminals, and all that computing goodness that I thought computers were about when I learned about computers. KnowwhatImean?

Being an Aide-de-Camp for a General is quite prestigious, it's considered a career maker. It's usually given to a senior lieutenant, or junior captain, depending on the general's rank.
But when you consider a Captain's typical role is Company Commander, where he's in charge of 140+ troops and millions of bucks in equipment, you can see how much juice having a star on your collar gives you. Flag officers are gods in the military. :)

That is a big jump between the last one and the new one, the detail on the bikes/riders is awesome. I will be buying Moto GP 4 day one for sure, and I recommend checking the series out if you've never played any of them. I had never played any of the previous games, but I took on to 3 pretty well, it does have a pretty big learning curve if you've never played a motorcycle racing game before. I was getting my ass handed to me in the GP series, but eventually got much better after getting my racer stats up.

In a stroke of genius, I turned off the ability to leave comments on my blog earlier today, so instead of agonizing over why no one is interested about things I say, I can mull about about all those people who want to say something but CAN'T. :)
(It would be ironic if this comment dropped off the first page unreplied.)

I've mentioned a few times here how I own these forums that have quite a lot of traffic. For the most part, they have sustained themselves on user donations for server costs and such. However, they are getting more and more popular and while dreamhost is great how they upped all their limits, its still looking to cost a bit, so I'd like to maybe make them a little more professional and start allowing advertising.
Now, I realize the irony in a law student asking for legal advice on the shack, but I'm sure some of you have dealt with this. First, I realize I should probably register the forums as some sort of business before I go ahead and start accepting advertising. Is there a type of business that is generally accepted as the best for a website? I notice shack has the old LTD at the end.
Second, how do I figure out what a good rate for advertising should be? I honestly am clueless about how much companies usually pay to advertise. I've already been contacted by a few companies who have an interest in advertising on the forums, and I told them that when the site redesign is finished I will get back to them with rates. Which brings me to my next problem:
How do you find a decent webdesigner who can work with a coder? I would love to have some way of integrating the user system from the forums into the site as a whole, but I really don't know where to get started on finding someone. Most web designers say they dont do coding. I can do basic sites, and they dont always look like ass, but stuff like actually creating a decent logo/brand for the site along with colours always screws me up since i dont have an artistic bone in my body.
Any advice/help is much appreciated. I keep trying to start this, but it is a little frustrating trying to figure out the info I need without actually knowing if I'm even on the right path.

Joe and Anthony Russo are two damn fine filmmakers. They are the two brothers who directed the pilot, some of the episodes, and came up with the verite look for AD.
If you enjoy the show at all then you owe it to yourself to see 'Welcome to Collinwood'. It's just damn funny.

So I've had the game a week or so now and played all of newb/begginer stuff and I'm like half way through medium. Anybody that has not played this game need to play about a half dozen songs and they will just be addicted to it. Seriously there are times when it is just perfect and you really feel like you are playing a friggin guitar. I know in reality its nothing like it but I could never do anything like it in real life so this is just to cool
Now for the bad part. I have gotten a blister on my thumb from playing so much!!!!1 This is probably due to my lack of being able to strum with anything other than my thumb (I'm working on it) but it hurts now and I have to stop playing for the night. The other problem after like 3 straight songs my hand cramps up and I have to take a break for like 5-10 min. This is okay because I just shack but after about 10-15 songs I'm usually done for the night becuase my left hand is so tired.
