So I tried Warhammer Online and that was just way too choppy on my PC– Even after a RAM upgrade. This sucks because

• Once I got used to the fighting system, I liked it.
• I love the graphics/art design
• I had someone to play with!

So when that was full of fail, I was already sick with the role-playing bug. So I tried Guild Wars. That game is lovely. I like it a bunch and the lack of a monthly fee is appealing. The artwork is lovely and yes, finally, I was able to make a brown-skinned character– with white hair! The questing is fine and so is the fight system. It’s very much like WAR in some ways.

World of Warcraft. First off. I don’t love the graphics. They’re often way to bright and colourful for my tastes. I can live with it though. It also sucks that the char’s faces and bodies are cartoony.  The interface is also a lot like WAR, as is the Side A vs Side B set up. I like that there are RP, PVP, Normal and RPPVP servers. I stick to the RP and RPPVP servers- yet good roleplay is hard to find. I need a guild of RPers.

So I’m stuck between GW and WOW, but right now WOW is winning (despite the graphics).

I believe gay marriage should be legalized, but that doesn’t mean she has to agree with me.

She should have been judged solely on how well she articulated her point of view. She was clear and respectfully stated her disagreement.

Why is it that in this country freedom of speech is only okay if you LIKE something? This country is TOO concerned with being PC. When you ask someone’s opinion, all you can really ask is that they state it as politely as possible.

Agree to disagree and move on.

I saw this on phillypaper.net and felt the need to post it here.  Some people are scum.

I cannot believe that you stole my middle school basketball team’s uniforms out of my trunk. I mean, I understand that you are a person who steals things out of people’s cars. But wasn’t there a moment, when you started to throw all the mesh jerseys into a bag or whatever, that you thought, “man, this is really about as low as it gets, stealing a bunch of kids’ basketball uniforms”? And did you really decide, “eh, it’s OK”?

Also, what exactly is your plan now that you have these uniforms? You know they say “WCS” on them, right? That stands for “Wissahickon Charter School.” Who are you going to sell them to? What school, church or youth league team is just going to rock “WCS” jerseys?
