Its interesting that the loophole of "buying it online" hasnt been clamped down on. I guess they just dont want the boxes on the shelves.

I was shocked to learn the special forces (SEALs) have a subset special special forces.

Thats why you teachers make the big money.

I dont think Ive ever seen a Hawaiian restaurant. Weird. The iPod2 was delivered on Monday. Its super sexy. My intention is to use it as an electronic "coffee table" book. Already loaded some fun little apps like Rhapsody, Atari (the entire friggin catalog for $14.99)(no, its not as good as we remember), Angry Birds, it even has an app that simulates my Comcast remote, etc... Fun little gizmo but nothing I would have owned if I had to pay for it (wife won it).

Whats the current level cap?

Reading the news, our gov is waffling on whether or not to release the picture of his corpse. Apparently it involves brain matter as he took the bullet right above his left eye. Would anyone want to see the picture?

That's a tricky question. First off, you get three active trees at once. So right now I have two healing professions and an offensive casting one. But then you can create other 'roles' which are like specs, where you have other trees active. You can switch them on the fly. It also doesn't seem to be as gear-centric as WoW, although I haven't played far enough to confirm this. It doesn't feel like it, but then, like Hurlie, I'm also pretty low still. And by "On the fly" he means "as the fight continues around you, channel a cast to change specs no resources lost" Hmm, sounds nice and OP like I like. Ill see if I can drum up the energy but the thought of leveling another toon doesnt excite me one bit.

You have an Ukrainian mail bride? Didn't you see the picture. It looked like my niece with an afghan hound sitting on her head. Are you pulling my leg or did that really happen? Because i'm very gullible. You guys wouldn't do all this to make fun of me would you? Here you go.

I played a Paladin in WoW to level 60, and I enjoyed the class, but I wouldn't really say I could heal or DPS anywhere close to a priest or a rogue/wizard. Is it one class with three specs (but you can only have one spec "active") ala WoW or are you saying your Rift Cleric can do all three jobs simultaneously?

It isn't the only difference, although it is a very visible one, as rifts open up all over the place. But it really isn't about raiding, it's about ease of grouping. You run up to a rift and you are suddenly in a public group, working with people to shut it down. These type of automatic public groups are commonplace. They are really going after the idea of massively multiplayer in the MMO name. Grouping isn't just easy, it is automatic. These groups often turn into raid groups when they get big, but there is no management necessary like in an endgame raid. The second big change is the class system. It allows for a ton of variety. I was upset that Blizzard never added new classes with the expansions (I thought the Death Knight was a bit of a cheat.) Rift allows me to really try some different types of characters, for example a cleric that can tank, DPS, or heal. It's also just a completely different universe. The story and characters are refreshingly new for me, they've kept me engaged. It's definitely a standard MMO, I just think it has elevated the genre by refining a lot of the mechanics other games have had. It's worth a try for anyone who enjoys MMO's. Sounds interesting. Im not a huge lore guy and couldnt tell you anything about the WoW universe even after years of play. Just FYI, the bolded part is called a Paladin in WoW.

Why is this the first Im hearing of "Dorchester armor"? Off to research!

Oh no you dont you tricky obyknven! Im not clicking that link.

http://video.mail.ru/mail/dima850/473/747.html It's Simple, Darling That didnt even penetrate the armor. I dont think there is a shoulder launched AT weapon that can defeat Chobham armor. Hell, tank rounds dont defeat Chobham armor. I have to admit, when I clicked that I was expecting a Rickroll.

I have serious doubts the Afghanis can take out an Abrams, much less five in one day. Thats more than we lost in the entire invasion.

So it sounds like, and correct me if Im wrong, that the only difference between WoW and Rift is that Rift allows day 1 raiding while WoW reserves raiding for endgame level toons?

Every time mkreku QQ's about America an angel gets its wings. Anyhow, glad hes dead. Now on to the next one.

I know you did, I just didnt realize the level of copy/paste they did. Wow.

Someone better call Blizzard because they been hijacked! Seriously, the interface, chat window, map window, icon placement, inventory bags, experience bar, quest tracker, everything... is EXACTLY the same as WoW.

^Yeah, my curiosity died at the same login screen.

Thanks for the link.

Ive not read the books and Ive missed about 20 minutes from the first two episodes (missed the entire 3rd episode somehow ). You guys keep saying incest so fill me in here, are the blond queen and the dude she was doing in the tower brother and sister?

Speaking of tablets, my wife won an iPad2 through work and we just received notification that it left Shenzen, China last night. Should be here on 3 May. w00t.

Weird. Ive never once been to a supermarket that didnt offer a fresh produce (fruits and vegetables), meat and deli sections. Also,

Well that's maybe because the average American can't afford some natural food in the first place. Hmm... You're not even good at trolling anymore.

Can someone explain to me if this is the norm? Do developers always overhire when they have a project and then let all non-essentials go when the project is complete? Is this just a case of short-sightedness and they thought they would be able to use those people on the next project? Seems like a lot of people hitting the heap in a short amount of time.
