Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Sep 02, 2010 5:00am PDTEvery year or two, my interest in playing video games wanes and I find myself looking elsewhere for entertainment. Right now, I'm slipping into one of those periods. While I have a stack of new games I'm pretty certain I'll enjoy, after a day of reading and writing about video games I'm turning to books and magazines or heading out to see a film.
The way the cycle usually works is that my passion is re-ignited by a game with really solid mechanics or a multiplayer mode worth getting properly stuck into but for now, I'm drifting away a little. I think this is good, though. After some time spent deep in other mediums and doing other things, I come back reminded of what makes video games so unique and promising to me. Perhaps I'll say more on that when I have time to spare.

So I'm looking for a new drink. Not a new mixed drink, just a new kind of liquor. I am getting sick of vodka. A shot of vodka (even the good stuff) seems to taste like rubbing alcohol. I don't like flavored liquor either, that's twice as disgusting to me. Anyhow, my one constraint is that it has to be gluten free. I have celiac disease. The distillation process usually makes liquor gluten free, but cheap brands often mask bad flavor by putting in additives. Not all liquor is gluten free apparently. That said, any suggestions?
Jameson whiskey isn't so bad.

Man, I wish WoW wasn't full of twinks at nearly all levels and then at level 80 its full of people with such a huge gear difference. I have played a few non-twink low level games and its great. Everyone has a chance instead of one player dominating an entire team. BtA items make battlegrounds even more twink filled. I'm always puzzled as to why developers support this kind of mechanic.

I love the Thursday night drunken BF:BC2 shackbattles but the chatter is insane, and it makes it difficult to discuss any strategies/coordinate with the other team on the same channel. So my proposal is simple:
We need to form squads, squads are assigned a side, server is locked down with a password (no points will accrue, but no pubbies will enter if we are under capacity) and we go into the separate TS channel for each side in the conflict. I think what I want to do is get a list of those who are interested, then try to get a time set, and then from that list squads and initial side will be randomly formed. What say you?
So far, the following shackers have responded (if your response was vague, I didn't list you):
hatchet165, Trips, Clay, Goncyn, ant_hillbilly, dengar65, Hemtroll, TheQuad, Alco23, Dschinghis Khan, lodit, zebosausamite, Shadowdane.
