  1. New people: Read this, say hi.

    I'm excited by that concept.
  2. 3D

    I'm not a fan of 3D, but i'm certainly a hypocrite. Those aren't actually my 3D glasses, that's not even my house although it is me.
  3. Down in the Zone (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)

    I have a couple of stories so i'll tell one now and maybe one later. I went down to meet Noah in his ark (Yep) and as I approached the door I got a horrible feeling, I noticed that it was Probably not emergant but certainly immersive.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Krško. Have fun living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland of nuclear debris.
  5. Just doing my job of delivering cold, hard, terrifying statistics. 51... what a cast.
  6. Wall of Wikipedia information. The current mortality attributable to the management of general anesthesia is controversial. Most current estimates of perioperative mortality range from 1 death in 53 anesthetics to 1 in 5,417 anesthetics. The incidence of perioperative mortality that is directly attributable to anesthesia ranges from 1 in 6,795 to 1 in 200,200 anesthetics. There are some studies however that report a much lower mortality rate. For example, a 1997 Canadian retrospective review of 2,830,000 oral surgical procedures in Ontario between 1973–1995 reported only four deaths in cases in which either an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or a dentist with specialized training in anesthesia administered the general anesthetic or deep sedation. The authors calculated an overall mortality rate of 1.4 per 1,000,000. It is suggested that these wide ranges may be caused by differences in operational definitions and reporting sources.

    Hell, i'll give it a go if you guys are going to have another one.

    There's a Cataclysm thread, if you want to talk wow some more post over there, I watch all the threads.
  9. It's not too bad, they don't let you eat for the night before the operation so if you do throw up it's more like bile than full on puke and I only threw up once instead of several times like you do when your sick, if you had to have an emergency operation then maybe it would be bad.
  10. Minecraft

    You are correct and yes, there is a roof.
  11. Oh god. The answer is no, I think it bums him out too much.
  12. I've been general'd before so i'm not too concerned about that aspect of the operation for me it's the fear of it being a horrible experience if i'm localized. If you're wondering what it's like to be general'd let me tell you. I had the gas so my experience might be slightly different to the IV but I doubt it. Anyway, you lie on a bed and they put the mask on your face, the gas smells like chemicals but isn't too acrid, the anesthetist asks you to count to 10. For me it was like this: Anesth: "Count to 10" Me: "1, 2, 3, 4..." Anesth: "Taking longer than usual" Me: "5, 6, 7, 8" As I said 7 I felt perfectly fine but as the word 8 came out I felt suddenly really tired and before I could say 9 I woke up in a hospital bed and threw up. (This is a common side-effect of general) Overall i'd say it's not too bad at all, the only lasting side effect I have is occasionally I can smell/taste the gas for no apparent reason.

    That is the dilemna we all face. Ultimately i'm sure i'll have the chance to see all of it at some point so i've decided that I love my DK enough to want to get in there at the ground floor of high end raiding and see what Blizzard has to offer. Of course you need to make your own choice, I know people who are going to leave their level 80s for later and are just going to go start a Worgen day one. I can see where they're coming from but a lot of the reason i've decided to go for raiding immediately is because the earlier you start the easier it is to ride the wave. If you're geared as well as possible when Blizzard rolls out a new raid you're automatically in it, however if you're still gearing or not geared at all you'll have to spend time doing that by which time there'll probably be a new raid to replace the first new one so you'll never get to do it. (For me, this was Ulduar being replaced by ICC/ToC while I was in Naxx) Make your call early and stick with it, you'll pay the price either way.

    So I created this with Photoshop, another picture I end up doing nothing with? Wrong, i'm going to get it printed and framed, an awesome decoration for my room. In other news, the Japanese trip is booked, i've gotten into a new awesome school (That's not really a school, kind of, sort of) and I joined a new badass WoW guild that is clearing the highest end content. Life is sweet.
  15. They totally mentioned it, that's good enough for me.
  16. Giantbomb totally did a Quick Look of your DLC Steve! http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-game-room-for-091510/17-3229/
  17. So I just realized that the line in Space Asshole that goes: "Blood and carnage is all he can enjoy." is actually: "Wanton carnage is all he can enjoy." It was cooler before... Also, I was listening to A Life Is Beautiful and thinking about Weinhandler and suddenly realized that a combination of the two would be the best thing ever. I call it: '(W)Ein-handler Life Is Beautiful'.
  18. I feel your pain Jake and i'm going general.
  19. No problem, just set up a meeting with all of you guys for no discernible reason then bug the room and drink until you black out and can't remember that you bugged the room and let a cast ensue. (You'll have to set up some kind of reminder system so that at some point you find out that the room was bugged so that you can edit and release said cast.)
  20. If you want to be Alliance the Cenarius server is really good. (Also I play there)
  21. Sort of kind of on topic. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1976-Kane-Lynch-2-Dog-Days
  22. The saltier the better! Also, your signature. What made you go back to WoW, was it cataclysm for you too? DAMN YOU BLIZZARD!!!
  23. So for you when you read anything I type you automatically add 'ya douche' to the end of it? Or is it more along the lines of thinking of me running away to cry after a type anything, i've been told both. Maybe I need to conduct some tests on this image, it seems to have dangerous powers.
