I'll more than gladly accept that, but thanks for completely missing the point and going offtopic with the first reply in a thread.

Gamers Against Bigotry
http://gamersagainstbigotry.org/ Since it's inception, Gamers Against Bigotry has been repeatedly attacked by hackers to the point where game websites will no longer mention them or print articles about it, so gamer forums are the only recourse left. Please support Gamers Against Bigotry and help reclaim the gaming community from filth spewing manchildren. Other sources about Bigotry and Harrassment in the video game community. http://www.designersnotebook.com/Columns/115_A_Call_to_Arms/115_a_call_to_arms.htm A Designer's Notebook Column by renowned Game Designer and Game Theorist Ernest W. Adams about reclaiming the community. Because of it's subject matter and it's mention of Gamers Against Bigotry game website Gamasutra refused to run this out of fear for reprisal. http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/harassment The Extra Credits episode about Harrassment. http://www.gamepolitics.com/2012/06/12/feminist-frequency-kickstarter-successful-despite-internet-asshats An article about the towards against women who speak out against sexism in games, and a successor article about the horrendous slander and virtual violence against this person: http://www.gamepolitics.com/2012/07/12/too-much-hate-anita-sarkeesian http://kotaku.com/5875690/these-might-be-the-most-sexist-gamers-on-the-planet Kotaku article about sexist gamers. http://kotaku.com/5889066/competitive-gamers-inflammatory-comments-spark-sexual-harassment-debate Kotaku article about the infamous Cross Assault debacle. This behaviour is unnacceptable and we, gamers as a culture, are responsible for allowing it to happen. It's up to us to make it stop.

Cost of 2D animated sprites
I'm not sure how much graphic designers/2D animators charge, but for finding freelancers go to http://www.aniboom.com/ and start a project, most likely you'll get offers. 2D animators especially are always looking for jobs.

What Next for Batman?
That's weird, I know of at least 12 other people who felt the need to emphasize that they knew people who didn't enjoy the movie either. Harry from Ain't It Cool News had to validate his opinion by saying "see, I'm not alone" too. Why do people need to go on the defensive right away with this movie? Are Nolanites really that bad? *Note that I'm not comparing you to Harry Knowles because that would be a grave insult, and that I expect you have actual reasons whereas Harry's review consisted out of screaming "does not conform to the source material" and subsequently proving to know nothing about the source material by being wrong about every point.

Dark Knight Rises. While Dark Knight set a more realistic universe, Dark Knight Rises takes a slight step back, being more like Batman Begins in feel (and has essentially the same plot*). It's more realistic than most comic book movies, but it's a comic book movie through and through. Still, a fantastic action movie and while it lacks a performance like Heath Ledger's Joker, the performances all around are more solid this time (Christian Bale does a fine job and Anne Hathaway's Catwoman is as close as the movie comes to a standout performance, Tom Hardy's Bane is a physical presence though his acting is hampered by the costume) and the plot felt more cohesive as a whole. A fitting end to the trilogy, but it's still the Return of the Jedi to The Dark Knight's Empire Strikes Back. Also, anyone who complains about Bane's voice being unintelligeble needs to get their ears checked, English isn't even my first language and I understood everything just fine. He's perfectly understandable.

Wasn't this some musical group or something? They seem oddly familiar.

My self-help book on procrastination arrived. I'll read it later. Sadly not a joke.

Diablo 3 Sign-Up
But probably will pretty soon. Rumor has it the beta'll start at least this summer.

So Blizz said that they overestimated how long gear-hunting would keep people interested as far as endgame content is concerned and will try to add something more sustainable. Intigued!

They're on your account, not your game client, so yeah, I'm figuring indefinitely.

Well, I'm on Lexx' side. Everyone in D2 was using the same cookie cutter builds because one mess up meant you couldn't compete and had to start over. Only dedicated theorycrafters (a rounded down 0% of the games' player base) would take the risk. Minmaxing is not gameplay.

Texas Republican party wants to remove the teaching of critical thinking skills in schools
This is the issue? You have got to be kidding. These are the people who want to ban video games because they don't care enough about their kids to actually take an interest in their daily activities. This is corporate, through and through. That is the only possible conclusion you can take from the combination of what is in the proposal and who is proposing it. But what do I care if the U.S. decides to commit intellectual euthenasia. (Yet actual euthenasia is a boo boo.)

Is that the one where you start hitting faster and faster and deal mad damage while looking like you're having a seizure? Then yes, that one.

Diablo 3 Sign-Up
I'm going through Normal with all characters first, so I haven't even started nightmare yet and I just found my sixth legendary... I'd say I was extremely lucky, but all the ones I have are still useless. This new one is a two handed axe for level 16 characters!
