    Poll: Tipping in restaurants

    I normally figure out the 10% it would be then add an extra dollar or 2 depending on how expensive my bill is. the 'correct' thing to do is to tip 10% regardless of service quality and tip more if I liked the food and service because the waitstaff these days generally have to share all their...

    EA Layoffs Hurt Partnership Deals

    Arkane studios is a France based company that started 1999 (wow all I did was look up their company name on the internet!) It really hits me hard that EA cut 6% of their staff because I'm one of those people who are currently looking for a job as a 3D artist (me and all my graduate buddies)...

    Pachter, Hirai Downplay Economic Troubles

    ... EA just cut a percentage of their 3D artists and the industry has been flooded. As a recent graduate from a Digital Arts program I'm having a very hard time finding a job in industry and so are all my colleagues. Let's just say that EVERYONE no matter what industry they're in is going to...

    The small things that make you lose respect for humanity...

    well then I suppose that proves another reason why I'm losing faith in humanity XP because where I live 50 percent is a passing grade which means that it's really easy to get a highschool diploma here. on another note, I'm glad it's more difficult to get a passing grade where you live XP...

    The small things that make you lose respect for humanity...

    well *shrugs* I'm just talking about passing English... a passing grade in grade 12 English is a C- and that's 50% ... the only way to get less than 50% is if you don't hand in any assignments. on another note, I hated English class since it was mostly essays >.< I loved creative writing...

    The small things that make you lose respect for humanity...

    I'm not sure if English is my first or second language, I grew up with English and Chinese. I know that English class is a literary analysis class... I also took English Lit... which was totally not a literary analysis class XD but seriously... it's not hard to pass English... just do all...

    The small things that make you lose respect for humanity...

    -whenever someone writes "would of" instead of "would have" or "would've" -I called myself a narcissist and this guy (grade 12 btw) didn't know what it meant -I was in comparative civilizations 12 (an ELECTIVE history/philosophy course) and people didn't know the meaning of "eunuch" or...

    Poll: Character Creation

    I tried to make a character that looked like me in oblivion and failed... she looked more like an aquaintance of mine and it was awkward so I didn't play that file at all. for the most part I try to make the character look like me.

    Girl Gamer's Opinion

    I dont' think the arguement is completely invalid as I believe that the 'sliders' in games where you can customize your character don't give enough of the full range of body types... in rock band if you crack the 'fatness' slider all the way up, she's still gonna has a wasp-thin waist... same...

    Worst Songs You Have Ever Heard

    that lipgloss song... I have no idea who 'sings' it... but during that time when I really needed cash for the impending anime convention I snatched a job from stitches because I knew they were hiring and that song played all the time =_= I counted the number of times she said "whatcha know...

    160: Mario Golf as Foreplay

    uhm... I think the answer to this problem is to find a girl who's into the same hobby. All my friends are into the same hobby XD it makes for less arguements (probably why we're friends) This guy's girlfriend didn't really game or maybe wasn't the type of gamer that he respected etc. My...
