I'm trying to make some money buying and reselling WoW gold and accounts, but my friend is being such an idiot. He confused $ with £ when buying stuff yesterday.. he thought he was getting a great deal.
On a side note, BoC still hasn't refunded me for my banned accounts.
Like they say...
"Take it and run."
I will keep reminding you until I get a refund, just so you know.
Ah to be 16 and mow lawns and farm gold again.....
I still don't understand who would pay real money for such things. I mean, isn't the whole point of a game to develop your own character? Where's the challenge if you buy an already badass character with a million gold pieces in the pockets?
I guess I'm just too old and out-of-date.
Sold my WoW account for 400€ when i finally quit. And the characters i had werent too impressive, seen accounts getting sold for over 2k. You can make a neat amount of money by trading and selling wow accounts. Im glad there's rich and lazy people out there ;)
My friend is in the number 1 alliance guild in the game and he has all the best gear for every spec and he got $3,000 for it. It takes months and months to do so its not worth it imo. Its easy to farm for gold but im too afraid of selling it and getting caught.
On US servers you only have one chance, if they find out, you get a permanent ban immediately in most cases(doesn't mean that they easily find out, you can still get away with it for a long time if you're careful). On EU however, you get a 72 hour ban first, which is great. The GMs on EU really suck in comparison to the ones on the US servers, they can use up to 3 months on an investigation, while US can finish it up in as little as 3 days.Quote:

how long does it take to accumulate 1000g?Quote:

This actually goes in the "things that annoy you" thread, but I don't want to dig it up...
Anyway, I've started drinking beers at japanese restaurants/bars lately...specifically Sapporo.
Now, when I look at the brand, I pronounce it SAH - POH - ROH. Having watched anime long enough, I think I have a pretty good sense of japanese linguistics with their own words.
However, I'm always corrected by waitors/bartenders that it's pronounced SAH - PORROH. It irritates me however, because I know all too well the way english speaking folk bastardize syllable emphasis on japanese words that are written in our alphabet. It doesn't even sound japanese when you say it that way...it sounds more like spanish or something.
At the same time, however, it's kind of intriging, because even though americans mispronounce it, they all seem to follow the same style of mispronounciation. Kind of like how pretty much all of us I'm sure first looked at the words Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura and mispronounced them NAH - ROOTO, KA - KASHI, and SAH - KURRA (something I think the dubbed voice actors still do to an extent).
It's like we are all trained to expect the emphasis of a word we've never heard before the same way.

Clearly you aren't an expert, because if you had any idea of how emphasis on Japanese words worked, you'd have realized that the Naruto dub actually pronounces 90% of the Japanese names and terms correctly (the missing 10% coming from the odd, walk-on-character VA who might place the emphasis 2 syllables back instead of the correct 3, and the fact that Japanese and American phonology are actually quite different - hence getting a regular American "oo" instead of a more centralized and compressed "oo" in words like "jutsu"). I've watched almost every episode of the dub looking for errors like that and have seen only the occasional few. Seriously. Bash the dub because you think the acting is stilted and corny, not because of "their pronunciation of words".Quote:

And they have a Japanese voice coach on staff!! Madness! It's so rare in a Shounen anime (which always have larges casts) to get a good balance of the 2 extremes.
Also @Assertn, that's something I've (obviously) noticed before as well. I have no idea what causes it either, since General American English has no real rules for placement of pronunciation. Why the hell do people automatically make that mistake?
Edit: Jesus. Wall of text. Sorry, I'm just passionate about dubs.
A bot can do it in 24 hours. And 15 days is not true, I could do it myself in 2-3 days of nolife gaming. 100$/1000g was still great because if I had leftover gold I didn't use for anything I could get a decent amount of money for it. Now it's only like 30$.Quote:

Dude, use your brain. If every person thought they had a right to make a thread about 'Things I want to Bitch about' 'Game I'm playing' 'Times I was dropped as a child', this place would be a collection of blogs.
You don't get your own Bitching Thread.
Warned.
Merged
Well, folks, it's time again for me to make a fool of myself. Oftentimes, I find myself shouting at the T.V. and the news, stating "YOU'RE WRONG!". Now, I figure I'll do something a bit more worthwhile (though not much). Post a topic on an anime-based forum!
So, without further ado, here goes.
Table of contents: (decided by you!)
Violence in Videogames
Pinellas county school board fails again!
Retards, Dumbasses, and Idiots oh my!
More topics to come... these are the ones I could think of ATM...
I choose first, and I'm going with the VGs...
Violence in Videogames - Or how to find a perfect scapegoat.
Turn on the television and tune to the news. What's the first thing that you're going to hear? "Violence in videogames is poisoning the youth of America". Yeah. Right. Keep thinking that, you might believe it one day. America's youth is poisoned not by violence in a virtual simulation. Instead, look to the true cause of the problem. If parents can't maintain at least a small amount of control on their kids, they don't deserve to be parents. It's not the videogames' fault that the parents got divorced.
It's not the videogames' fault that the parents don't love their kids
It's not the videogames' fault that even some poor kids get beat because they aren't being good little slaves.
Point being: Videogames alone aren't going to cause poor little Timmy Tom to go shoot up his school, yet they're being blamed constantly anyway.
It doesn't even matter, the storylines, the wit of characters, the things that make great games the way they are. A game could be so good, and yet can be tarnished in a snap by having been convicted of mass murder, as it were. I'm surprised that they haven't hit up Halo 3 just yet, and I hope they never will.
Anyway, give me responses, challenges, votes for the next rant, things like that...
Have fun!
TV and Videogames violence gives kids tools and ideas about forms of agressive behavior that the kids wouldn't have known otherwise.
if you watch enough fighting games and 'combat' centered tv, it'll give a better understanding of fighting dinamics, so if you ever get into a situation where they fight, the entire fight is now more dangerous for both sides, since instead of clumsy punching each other, they'll hit key points of the body and go for the weak points of the enemy (as seen on TV wresting and mixed fighting shows). the kids are now armed with knowledge that should comes with experience (also with: self control, cool head, ability to differnce right from wrong).
The kids would have fought between them anyways, now you've just armed them better to hurt each other and cause severe damage.
Next Rant: How Al Gor shouldn't have won the peace Nouvlle (how do you spell it?), but rather, a prize more releavent to his school of influence (enivorment Nouvlle prize, or something, don't know it it even exists). And, how protecting the enviorment shouldn't be out of fear of existintion, but rather out of a moral view that acting like a jerk isn't a good thing to do, no matter whether there are victims or not.
You of all people should realize, Death BOO, that playing Call of Duty does not make you a good soldier, just like watching Hokuto no Ken does not make you a good fighter. I can't imagine why you would even think of believing that.
The only way kids are influenced by violent video games is if they already have sociopathic tendencies to begin with.
Lol @ above since my bitch is about people bitching about AL Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Original Bitch.
I can't believe how many people are bitching about Al Gore wining the Nobel peace prize as if it's 'wrong' somehow. It's solely up to the Nobel Foundation to give out the prize to whoever the deem fit.
That sentence is all that restricts the foundation on who they are supposed to award the prize to and even if they fail in that they wouldnt' be failing the public they would be failing the estate of Alfred Nobel. People need to get it through their heads that the Nobel Foundation doesn't owe the general public anything in terms of choosing a recipient that the public likes, or respects, or agrees with.Quote:

If a recipient doesn't meet with the hyped up expectations people generate they are welcome to complain that the recipient doesn't deserve the amount of hype the Nobel Prize tends to afford but they have no right to say the recipient doesn't deserve the prize itself because the prize should be held independent of its hype.

actually, call of duty, can help in trainning a better soldier. it's a matter of quickly regiestering nearby (suddenly appearing) objects as enemies and acting at a certain way. which is just conditioning, 'see Y, Do X'. that's why model targets are in the form of human soldier and not in the form of butterflies or pinetrees.Quote:

HnK might not be a good example, but what about more realstic animes (Ippo, for example) or even not-so-animated violence such as Mixed Matrial arts? Again, not perfect, but if you're clever enough, you might pick up some hints.
I'm not saying that it makes kids violence, but it makes them more dangerous to themselves and eachother. since when they fight, they'll be armed better to hurt each other.
another example: Show a kid that's it's possible to hurt someone with a knife, and give all kids knives. next time they fight, one of them will bring out a knife, becuase he knows that knives can be used to hurt someone.
that's like saying doing anything that might make your reflexes better makes you a more dangerous person.
sorry, but that's just poor logic.
I'd have to disagree with that. They'll use the knives not because it can hurt people, but because it will hurt more than fists. What would you rather prefer as a weapon: your fist or a knife? Choosing the knife is just rational thinking. You'd have to be insane (literally) to use your fists when the knife is available to you.Quote:

As a person with military training, leadership training included, I have to say for my own part I haven't particularly felt playing FPS games would have made my soldiering skills better, though not the contrary either. One of the FPS games I played most is, though, Operation Flashpoint, which was probably the most realistic modern combat simulator out there. It's hard to say what kind of effect it might have had, but one thing is sure: I enjoyed it a lot more probably because I had military training already when I began to play it, and those skills helped a little in the beginning.
Yeah it would, but I'd say he was lucky. I know that when I sold gold in an unsecured way(on other accounts) I got the final warning at once on one account, and permanent ban on three others. I had no warnings from before of. Then again I haven't been on US servers for 2 months or so now so they might have softened up or something. And, it depends on which GM. I know people who have got a whisper from GM during botting, and have managed to talk their way out of it by blaming lagg. Thankfully I've never gotten a GM whisper when botting myself.Quote:

They don't refund anything. They can do whatever they want(with the account) if you're found to be breaking the EULA in any way. So if you have a half year subscription active, you're screwed if you're banned.Quote:

Damn internet-related problems. I need to check my email to see where and when this test review is taking place, and for the first time in about 3 years, the site is "under maintenance".
Fuck that. I didn't sleep last night, and I really need to check my email now so I can take a nap and be ready to study without falling asleep later on. Murphy's Law...
Also what's the deal with people walking backwards in crowded streets to shout one last little thing to the person they're talking to?? If one more faggot bumps into me this way I'm gonna push him in front of a moving bus.
Why do people feel the need to complain to me about the prices of some items at my work? I don't set the prices, people...so telling me it's cheaper somewhere else will yield ZERO results. I'm not going to give you a discount and I'm not going to ask the owners to change the prices, even if they're my parents. If you don't like the price, just say, "No thanks" and go to that "cheaper place." And if you think I'm going to be dragged into an argument with you, think again. It's a place of business, not a public discussion forum. Either buy your shit and leave or just FUCK OFF.
I know what you mean. I used to work at a gas station about two years ago during the summer and it sucked a lot, mainly due to people complaining about the gas prices (it would reach around $1.15 per Litre, this is Canada). People put in gas, come inside to pay, then bitch about the prices at me, as if I'm the one who sets them. Some even yelled, which really pissed me off. I just do what I'm told to do, yet I'm suddenly the big boss? I never thought I would run into so many damn idiots in one summer.Quote:

It IS pathetic. That's pretty much how the gas stations work, yet the majority of people think that the manager or even me set the prices.
I don't have enough monies for an XBOX 360, PS3, or/and a Wii.
I just downloaded what I thought was Halo 2 for the XBOX.... It was Halo 1.... I am kinda sad, kinda mad but hey, now I have Halo 1. Now I just have to find Halo 2, should not be too hard.. I hope.

It's an awesome anime, really, but if you're going to kill off my favorite character and backstab me like only my most trusted friend could, wait until the fucking end, even the Hobbit had enough dignity to wait until the final battle to kill off Thorin, and that's why despite Death Note being awesome I will always think of it as also sucking ass.
L > Watari > The Other Main Characters, including Ray Penbar and his wife >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kira > Mello. And Misa isn't even worthy of being compared to the others.
Well, at least Kira got rightfully pwned in the end and it was admitted that N and M individually never could hope to match the awesomeness that was L.
P.S. Now to watch the movie and read the manga.
I loaned my Business Law textbook last term to someone who now seems to not want to give it back. They're ignoring my MSN messages and my emails. It's quite frustrating. I still haven't seen the douchbag around campus and he better pray I don't. What a fucking asshole.
Oh, and I bombed my Finance midterm.....fuck. Now I don't know whether or not to just drop it and take it next term and take Finance 2 in the summer. Goddammit, things would be so much easier if I didn't have to fucking work at my parents' store.
Complich8, as someone who indirectly introduced me to xkcd, I don't what to think of you posting a GodMode strip. The two are on totally opposite ends of the "webcomic quality spectrum".

I spent an hour and half trying to get a BIOS for my Radeon HD3940 working. This new BIOS sets higher default clock speeds so I don't have to manually set the clocks every time I start up the computer. It worked on the card from work, so I figured it would work at home too. But no... it doesn't. I just end up with a corrupt display when I install the driver. I have no idea if it's an issue with the driver (same driver from work though), my motherboard, my specific video card or Vista. It might even be a combination of all of them.

Last thursday I bought a basket of pears but they were so unripe they were disgusting. Now, finally, after sitting on my table in room temperature for bloody five days they are starting to actually taste like pears. What the hell is that?

Didn't you check the pears before you purchased them?
No. Because they were cheap (I wonder why...).

LOL, fair enough.
I've been getting these intense headaches again lately and they're irritating beyond belief. They sometimes last for a few hours or a few minutes but it feels like my entire brain is swelling with the worst of the pain situated behind my eyes. I also feel nauseated when I get these headaches. I get them at least 2 or 3 times a day, sometimes more, and this will last for weeks. These sessions happen every few months and this has been going on for 3 or 4 years. I guess I should go see my doctor. Anyway, they're fucking ANNOYING.
I have similar headaches together with random excruciating and unceasing body and joint pains, unpredictable muscle aches and spasms, double vision, seizures, random paralysis, numbness, loss of sensation, blackouts, temporary amnesia, random fluctuations in blood pressure and a host of other symptoms most of which have been plaguing me all my life particularly within the last six years.Quote:

Oh, by the way, I don't feel like leaving. You know who you are.
My bitching: got myself a sprained ankle from a soccer game. Basically, I had a small breakaway and the goalie came out sliding. He slid right to my leg with his feet (cleats included), forcing my foot to take a wrong step. Hence, sprained ankle.
On top of that, I got a lot of schoolwork to do this week (3 midterms, 2 assignments), yuck. The life of a university student, w00t, plus a sprained ankle.
The trick is, if you know he's going to make you fall, make sure to land on him. Then you can at least share in the pain, and maybe cushion your fall a little bit in the process :p.
Also, the latest version of pidgin (formerly gaim) has a slow memory leak, and I was about to watch the final episode of an anime series on the commute home from work, only to discover that the reencoded version of that ep (and only that ep) was badly cropped, losing the subtitles. Now I've gotta reencode it again and watch the ep on the way to work tomorrow instead.
Yowza...maybe you should be the one to see a doctor. :eek:Quote:

Bitch: Websense
I don't know whose idea it is, but someone put this little thing called 'Websense' on the interwebs at Lakewood, and it's really frickin retarded. Now, this 'Websense' wasn't around till some retards had to go check out their rape site (myspace for those of you simple fucks) in the middle of class. Now, the rest of us can't see certain sites banned by Websense.
Infact - The whole school went on internet lockdown when some unfortunate sap (I say unfortunate because of the punishment he probably recieved) found a circumventor that ACTUALLY WORKED against Websense, and went (where else) to check his myspace.
Next time: Myspace
I have multiple teams of doctors.Quote:

I too have bitches about the Death Note dub, most notably VA Brad Swaile...he sucks as Light. Watari's voice also gives away something about him that I don't remember being able to hear from the original VA. Basically I'm pissed that the English cast is changing the attitude of the show by making characters sound either more or less mature then they did in the original. Next thing you know Misa will sound like a 40 year old smoker and Aizawa will sound like an black guy from the inner city.
I don't get why you're pissed because that is exactly what they always do and I know you don't require examples it used to piss me off back in 90's maybe, but now it is to be expected and accepted because it is inevitable.Quote:

I missed the second episode, so maybe there's something I didn't hear, but I don't think Light's "maturity" sounded inappropriate at all. Everything sounded completely natural to me. I guess that's just because I have nothing to compare it to?
For you I recommend Death Note Direct Downloads. (If downloads are slow, I apologize, the host has been bitchy lately...)Quote:

@Abdula:
That's the kind of thinking that keeps things the way they are when they could be improved. I'm no revolutionary or anything, but I will stand up and voice my opinion when I feel things are being done poorly. I would hope that somewhere out there a person who is also unhappy but cares much more than me might see my anger as a sign that they are not alone and actually try and do something about it. Even if I say something it probably won't change, but if no one ever says anything it certainly will not change.
@ XanBcoo: The problem I have is that the tone of the series is different because of the VA's. How a person sounds can strongly affect how you percieve their intelligence and maturity, at least for me. The English Light does not sound as mature and composed as the Japanese one, which hurts both his character and the show as a whole because Light is supposed to sound competent and capable not petulent and bratty.
And another thing that ticks me off about it is the fact that the DN subbers got C&D orders and I had to watch a really crappy sub for the final episode. Of course, the licenser had every right to do what they did, but it's still sucks that those who own the rights to the show aren't willing/able to put out their product as quickly as the free fansubbing community. Viz did something fairly innovative in providing subbed episodes for download starting nearly right after the series finished in Japan but as of today they are only providing eps 1-24. Animanda was generally behind by 2-4 weeks with their subs but the Viz subs are about 17 weeks behind now. I would assume they didn't even start translating until after the original airing ended, which seems stupid, but still 17 weeks for 24 episodes implies 28 hours per episode per person involved, assuming a 40 hour work week.
The Viz people need 28 hours per person to get out an episode but kuro-hana could do it in a little bit more time with 6-8 people who also had some form of life/obligation outside of subbing. If a large cooperation can't get out subs faster than a group of part timers who all have lives of their own I think something is wrong.
@ Yukimura:
I agree with you, I just think that a badly dubbed anime is par for the course and won't change until the masses refuse to accept mediocrity which cannot happen unless they are aware that quality exists. It's really not worth the fuss
This band was looking for a bass player about a month ago on Facebook, and I replied to the ad but never got a response. Earlier this evening I randomly stopped by and listened to a performance of this same band without even knowing it. After 10 minutes I recognized the drummer (the sender of the ad) and smacked myself on the forehead.
Don't know whether I should be annoyed by this or not, since on the one hand they obviously found another bass player that wasn't me and they're music was really good, but on the other hand the guy they found was realllllly talented - much better and more experienced than I would have been. I ended up talking to their guitar player afterwards. Nice dude.
Also today this girl caught me drawing her. I'll probably never see her again on campus, but still...I don't like looking creepy. I was just doodling :(.
My discount broker accidentally transferred $10,000 more in mutual fund shares than I was supposed to receive, but then took it back the next day.
What a bunch of indian givers :(
XanBcoo, just send her the drawing, and write her message saying you want to meet her.
it can't make things worse.
as crazy as DBZ's suggestion is, it might just be crazy enough to work.
be like "listen, i know that must have felt weird, and I should have asked your permission first, but I really love drawing and saw you and..." embarrassed pause "i'm sorry if it freaked you out, I understand if it did. So, i am sorry, and I figure the least i can do is give this to you" and give it to her.
but make sure the drawing actually looks half decent (pics plz?)
my bitch: some fuck revived my birthday thread to troll in it. also, my sleep cycle is so fucked up right now... i get to sleep around 4am and wake up around noon at best. ugh.

Well, since you have the picture, your chances of finding her are a lot higher than without!
Take a copy and walk around showing the pic to people, asking if they know her (remember to add you are not a cop)... >_>
I've got my normal drivers license this week (normal= I can drive alone without anyone watching over me), and since i'm on vacation and my father went to UK for the week, I got to do some driving around.
I managed to get lost in highway, pass through a red light, and got used to driving without being scared shitless while doing so (which in turn, scares me shitless even more, as I feel that I'm not doing my best to drive safely).
also, I hate driving people around all day, I feel like my parents, I think I might start drinking earlier in the evenning to avoid driving too much.
on the other normal subject; girls. the usual deal.
I did not finish PE online this week :( Because I continue to procrastinate and not take the final exam.
At work today, there were these 2 African American chicks. They ordered chinese food from the nearby Chinese food place. They then came into our restaurant and just sat down to eat their chinese food. Not to mention they also left a little mess and we were also busy. Those daughters of beeches. :mad:
I never understood why people do those things.
