    Baby animals you've saved.

    I come across a plethora of animals during my workday. So far I've caught (by hand) a dozen or so small birds, three pigeons, a rabbit, a rat, and many others - with photographic proof, and turned them loose afterwards.

    So my girlfriend is doing something awesome.

    I loathe and I feel for your loss. Please don't misunderstand - I have respect for the dead. But I wasn't aware there was a sect of Christianity that condoned premarital sex.

    So my girlfriend is doing something awesome.

    My wife is a football fan and commandeers the TV all day Sunday, and always keeps up with her Seahawks on her iPad, reading every article she can. She doesn't game a whole lot, but she loved Oblivion (made me pre-order my first game ever, Skyrim) and I get the sneaking suspicion that, despite...

    College Education Arms Race Bankrupting America

    You're projecting your views onto the US at large - hardly a good argument. But you're serious, aren't you? That's what scares me. Some sort of "prestige scale" exists? That's the sort of thinking that led to a college degree becoming this "elite" status that everyone wants to pursue - that...

    College Education Arms Race Bankrupting America

    OP has a great point - college has become the next assumed step in education for way too many fields. The idea behind college was something totally different than what it is today. I see so many promising young minds put aside their "hobby" (which is something they're good at and love doing)...

    [UPDATE] Microsoft Devastates Autistic Child By Labeling Him a Cheater

    Just repeating what has been stated as of post #201 - The kid did cheat. The kid DID cheat. "Stephen Toulouse's (Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE) Twitter account. http://twitter.com/Stepto/status/30407631260614656" Did I mention that the kid did, in fact, cheat...

    [UPDATE] Microsoft Devastates Autistic Child By Labeling Him a Cheater

    What's the kid's mom complaining about? Microsoft just did them a favor - he can earn his achievements all over again, without her having to buy new games!

    Poll: Did you build your computer?

    Spent about $550 two years ago to create this: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 BE-2400 ($25 steal, figured I could always upgrade later if I needed to. Haven't needed to!) Mobo: ASUS M3N78 PRO GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB HDD: 1x500GB SATA RAM: 2X2GB PC2-6400 G.Skill RAM PSU: Antec average...

    Suicidal/desperate strategies you've tried in games

    Dungeons and Dragons Online. I like to play a Drow Paladin to get high saving throws, + a shield feat or two, + Intimidate to draw aggro, + Defender specialization. Throw in Smite Evil, and I can pull a decent balance of tanking and quick mage takedown, with a little bit of Lay Hands to...

    You can't hit me, you're the woman!

    You (sort of) may have a point with salary and opening doors (glass ceiling, etc.) but parental rights? Do you realize how heavily the courts are slanted in favor of the mother? After observing my housemate and his ex's travels through the court system and how the court treated him like a cash...

    You can't hit me, you're the woman!

    No, you're very much correct. Unfortunately, there is no one single problem, and thus, no one solution. There are countless differences between men and women. I think the biggest part is that a greater majority of women are abused by men than vice-versa, so there's a stigma along the lines of...

    How do you handle defeat / quell your anger?

    Play everything on Easy. Oh, multiplayer? Hmm...play with people about your level, or make some friends and play with them. My problem with Dungeons and Dragons Online was that I would rarely find people that would form a strategy - they'd charge in on Hard or higher and wipe. So, I found...

    Whats your type?

    Yeah, hate to burst your bubble, but I worked with a contractor who provided equipment for Mythbusters, and while Adam and Jamie are exactly the same off-set as on the air, Kari has quite the ego. Basically, she's like that really hot girl in high school that knows that she's hot, and uses the...

    The most strangely satisfying game moments.

    Shooting down half the planes in Ace Combat 04 in the "you're supposed to retreat" battle. So hard, but it feels so satisfying to kill planes that are supposed to be so good they're invincible.
