Fun article! I can definitely say that my husband could sleep on a rotissery - 20 years as a submariner and he still doesn’t sprawl out. Though I did grab the sound of 688i General Quarters as a sound file, it is my ringtone for his calls, and it is my alarm clock sound for 5am. Pops his ass out of bed pretty much…

*snicker* It is even funnier if you hear a couple guys on the same boat respond simultaneously with that answer to that joke =)

<shrug> Actually there are a lot of people who more or less live online, not only in Second Life, but are seriously invested in their online characters so deeply they more or less work a job so they can live online. Having the best equipment and stuff like food/potions/spell components and being in *the* guild can be…

And that is why there will be a minimal number of people slogging through killing level 1 rats with a rusty dagger while wearing effectively rags in the newbie zone.

Not specifically WoW, but early MMORPG. It means you are playing a very low level character that has been given the best of gear and money, and is a member of a guild that normally would not have your level character in it. It is implying that you have and end game character that is supporting a brand new character,…

Actually, some players push to get to the end game and end game equipment and never do anything except end game raids or activities. Seen it a *lot* in many different games [I started back in the days of Everquest 1 ...] *shrug* Why do you think that you run into so many level 10 twinks that have an end game main?…

Still have the originals =) And for people with an irrational desire to leave perfectly good aircraft, Bird Turds and Idiots certificate =)

There is a distinct smell, light diesel, some machine oil, some leftover almost-ozone and a hint of that smell-taste you get on a hot day holding a handful of spare change [sort of metallic, I really can’t describe it but just get sweaty and hold a handfull of pennies and nickles] I find it oddly comforting and even…

My husband was on the San Juan <his first boat was the USS Spadefish SSN668 and he also was on the USS Miami SSN755> and it is always interesting to hear other opinions about the sub service. I know I had a blast on a tiger cruise except for the very annoying weapons officer so I went and hung out in machinery 1 with…

Then they need to make new rules - not just ‘arms and legs and hair covered’ but *loosely covered and not skintight* otherwise they have absolutely NO cause for complaint.

Could be, that would make sense.

an 8 year old goddaughter works as a bot, she found mining *fun* =) I had 2 accounts, I would kill stuff and she would follow me around mining. Best babysitting I did in a long time =) Pity she is now way too old to find it fun [and I now play GW2]

I can remember getting with friends in Everquest 1, rolling up a halfling and seeing how much of the world we could explore running through stark naked =)

I stopped playing EVE Online after VR was killed at Benghazi - not having that quiet ‘Hey Carebear, how you doing?’ coming at me in private chat leaves me with a huge hole in my chest where my heart was. Never met him in meatspace, and nongamers don’t seem to understand how you can have friends you have never met in…

I was in the early and final betas for WoW - at the time I was a player and GM in Everquest 1. I played vanilla WoW until just before Cataclysm, and when Pandaria came out I reactivated my account for a month using one of the emailed offers. I absolutely *hated* it. Many of the zones were [in my opinion] fucked up by…

Good for you =)

<shrug> Never wanted nor had kids, saved an assload of money for and done some neat shit that we don’t regret. If you have dreams, you need to see what to do to accomplish dreams, if that means not having kids until your mid 30s, there is nothing wrong with that. There is no law forcing you to hit 21 and start popping…

Anybody think that the server may possibly have given bad service? Anybody get that soldiers side of things?

I am discussing inexpensive options, if you have the money for a chopped and channeled Bentley, knock yourself out. She claims she doesn’t have lots of money for a fancy handicapped van, and I pointed out that you can get decent momvans fairly cheap.
