FOUND: 13-Year Old Who Ran Away From Home
Does it count if I never made it past the drive-way?

Walsingham is no longer a mod?!
Deadly would be a good mod.

Empire: Total War
Great mod! The TW games are the kind that I get super into for a couple weeks, then drop for months, and then eventually drift back to. That is what I find great about them.

This thread represents all that is good and pure about these forums.

A New Game Unannounced from Blizzard
Yeah, I remember it. It was lame, they basically said "this is a good game, but the adventure game genre is dead, so we aren't going to finish it." I was bummed.

I think a Warcraft adventure game would be better. You could play as a young Thrall trying to liberate your people from slavery.

North Korea
I don't know, if a terrorist group came on TV and said they blew up New York, when they actually failed and did no such thing, it would be a bit humorous.

Pictures of your games
Yeah, the robots are fun. If I play it again, I'll take the trait that gets the robots to help you out.

Wii & PS2 & PS3
Don't forget that if you have a Netflix subscription and Xbox Live, you can stream over 10,000 movies on your TV through the 360. That is the one thing I miss the most.

Who also went astray by the economic downturn?
I'm about $90,000 underwater on my home, and it's too small to accommodate my growing family. But we have our jobs and can pay the mortgage, so I'm not too bad off.

North Korea
I heard the rocket ended up in the sea, but the N. Koreans are claiming it is in space broadcasting. It's pretty hard not to laugh about this stuff.

Discrimination against gay people doesn't fit a party line or a religious doctrine, or even a state stereotype.

Wii & PS2 & PS3
I do think the 360 is an inferior piece of hardware. But Xbox Live is light years ahead of Sony Home. Microsoft = good software Sony = good hardware

Movies you have seen recently
Went and saw The Watchmen. It was watchable. I thought it was good, but I think I realized I have very little interest in alternate history stuff. I think real history is interesting enough.

Wii & PS2 & PS3
I own both the PS3 and the Wii, and I owned the PS2 back in the day. PS3 is great for single player experiences. Wii is great for multiple people in the same room experiences. That's really all there is to it. They aren't remotely alike.

What are you playing now?
I think they just decided to take Cricket and make it into a game that doesn't last three days and makes actual sense.

The fun stuff
I used to play on an NWN PW server with permadeath. It was slow going in terms of level, my first few characters didn't get past level 2. But I settled on a fun Priest o' Tempus that lived the charmed life. I had him for over a year. One day I was traveling along The Long Road and I happened upon a group of Gnolls. I ripped through them with my trusty axe easily. Then I noticed a camp in the distance. Sure, I was alone, but I was level 5, a hero among men. So I carved up the camp. Then I noticed a cave. I went in and started dealing out the hammer of justice, when a rather large Gnoll rushed in. In he back of m mind I thought "Hmm, maybe I'm pressing my luck" but I was just enjoying the carnage too much. Sure enough, the large Gnoll hit me hard with a critical hit. I lay there bleeding out in a dirty gnoll cave. My body temperature shot through the roof when I realized my year old character just died completely alone to Gnoll.

Since Gfted1 is so curious... But none of this accounts for the fact that there is a legal loophole for a straight couple here. They can get married and apply for a green card whether the spouse is in the country illegally or not, and they have a very good chance of success. This couple wasn't even given the option to get married until recently, and it doesn't even count on a federal level. The system is broken.

That looks good, I put it on my list.

What are you playing now?
Which soccer game is that? Burn. Kelverin, I bought the PS3 almost strictly for MLB '09. I was sure I would regret it, but it turned out to be simply sublime. It isn't just the best baseball game ever, it's the best sports game I've played. I'm a huge hockey fan and I've always enjoyed playing football games, but this is just the most fantastic sports game I've ever played. It has so many layers.

Until recently, that marriage wasnt even legal in California (and is now again illegal). So I suppose shes "only" had 24 years of skirting the law. She was married in '04, when it was legal. Currently that marriage is valid, the court case is not over on whether they will be invalidated. It seems like a few people are failing to see the forest through the trees here. I'm not an immigration lawyer, but does the system really need to split up families like this? Is that what all our laws are for, to drive out people that have made a life here? She hasn't been living here for 24 years illegally either. She had a pending case, it was recently denied, and that is why she is being deported now and not earlier.

Any immigrant can get a green card by marrying a citizen. You sure about that? http://greencard-marriage.com/ According to that guy it is. I'm sure it's not as easy as saying I do and then getting a green card in the mail, but the process for a spouse of a US citizen to get it is a heck of a lot less complicated and time consuming then someone who is not married. She was in the process, she had been in the process for years, and the government decided that her case for citizenship wasn't good enough. That doesn't happen to people who are recognized by the Federal government as a married couple.

How is she skirting the law? Any immigrant can get a green card by marrying a citizen. She has an established relationship with this women, including two children. They are married within the state of California for the time being, but the Federal government refuses to recognize that. Here's the story: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=n...&id=6742854 Currently they have delayed the deportation order, since the public outcry as been pretty heavy. Still, it's messed up that it even comes to this. edit: It was the Philippines, not Cambodia

I read an extremely sad story this week about a couple who had been together for 25 years. They have two children together. One was a US citizen and the other is from Cambodia, I believe. Normally, these two people would get married and everything would be fine, but because the federal government does not recognize same sex marriages, the Cambodian woman is facing deportation. What an absolutely ridiculous system. Some horny guy can order a Russian bride and he will have less problems getting citizenship then a couple that have been together for 25 years and raised two teenage boys.
