I picked Kniggit without really realizing how deep the game was. I like Thrust heheh and Trample, but I'm getting destroyed by the two-headed ogre attacking the dwarven city.

I think the problem is that the areas I'm most skilled in are difficult to find jobs at (at least where I live). For example, I'm a really good squash player and have coached a university team for three years (two of which we won gold), but every squash club in town has a pro already. To get a decent job I'd have to move to Toronto or somewhere else.
I'm also a pretty decent writer and want to eventually do this for a living, but of course you don't get hired to write novels. I could always do technical writing since I do know a lot about web dev., but there's nothing like that around here that I've seen.
Odds are I'll end up doing roofing this summer or something else in the trades. Good thing all this school is paying off eh?

I'm not sure if I really want my incredibly "lol" posts coming up, I know people can find me off shacknews, but with 20K posts, they have to dig hard... this is just blatant.

God, I hope this pans out. I've always wanted to do something like this. Maybe I can meet some shackers along the way too.

Hey guys, I need you to help me out. If you could link me to (or provide the name of) some awesome game cinematics/trailers (not in-game footage) it would be greatly appreciated.
I need it to show the guys here at work. I've already got the BF: Bad Company trailer.
Thanks.

It's broken into three posts, and I figured that I will link them here so that more people can see them. If you're in a rut where you think life is going nowhere and that you're feeling down all the time, you might want to consider some of the stuff I talk about in the following posts:
1. http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=14111908
2. http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=14112050
3. http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=14112067
Do note that they are lengthy, and per my usual style they have a lot of complex sentences, run-ons, repetition, and frivolous filler words like "seriously", "honestly", and "genuinely". I'd apologize for that, but I'm not really sorry. I think there's some very cogent stuff in there.
I didn't discuss it there, but I will here. For years and years I was constantly diagnosed with rather severe depression, and I tried a revolving door of medications - of them, wellbutrin worked best for me, but I still didn't like the way I was on medication, so I buckled down without the medicine and set about improving my situation. I made a vast array of life changes in the last two years that improved my all-around health dramatically, and I am happy to say that after my most recent visit to the doc, for the first time in well over a decade, they didn't tell me I was depressed.
However, even though I feel that nowadays drugs are prescribed way too often, I do acknowledge that some people need assistance to kick things like depression, and if you think you're depressed - especially if you do lead an otherwise good/healthy/etc life - go see a medical professional - one who is not prone to medicate everything at the slightest hint of a problem, but rather will sit down with you and work to figure it out. I talk about this a little more in the posts linked above.
And yes, I made some very serious, sincere replies to a jcutner post, so if you read all this looking for the [lol], I apologize, and might as well warn you that there's no funny in the posts linked in this one, either.

Oblivion Peeps... I need some help.
I'm playing this on the PC (1.2) and I'm currently trying to complete the Join the Mages Guild quest. I'm pretty sure I've secured all the recommendations except for one where I have to get the Fingers of the Mountain book and give it to the lizard guy. The problem is, I got the book and gave it to him instead of the lady that wanted it and he took it from me... but I never received my recommendation. My little indicator at the bottom of the screen still shows a green indicator for him even after he has the book... there's still no mention of the completed Mages Guild quest. When I go back to talk to the lizard guy, all the text options are greyed out and he never mentions anything helpful again.
Please refer to this thread for more info:

Largest battle in Eve Online history is going on right now with Goonswarm and the Southern Coalition assaulting a massive Band of Brothers Capital Shipyard. It's confirmed that the shipyard contains a baby Titan (worth enough real-life cash that you could buy a small car with it) and both sides are pulling out all the stops. There's about 1000 people fighting on each side across 3 or so systems, with hundreds of capital ships involved. Every alliance with an existing Titan seems to be showing up, along with the bulk of their support fleets
The shipyard is almost dead at this point and Goonswarm seems to be winning the fight, but the servers are crapping out, so it's tough to get accurate info. I'm stuck at a black login screen, argh.
Here's some pics:

This was an interview question. I'm a hands-on person (gimme the site and I'll tell you in an hour). How do I answer this? Is there a tool other than Firefox + Firebug + looking at source that will show me where the "slowness" resides?
(My instinct answer was "beat the user", that probably won't fly, huh?)
