missionaries are awesome fun. There are indeed a lot less goodie huts in this game, but i've built practically every wonder in my current game, so there are no limits on that at all. There are limits on how many national wonders (heroic epic, pentagon, wall street, broadway) that can be in a...

i've been playing it for hours and hours and hours since i got my review copy on saturday. it's freaking wonderful =) my review ended up being too long for the site, so i posted it in my 1up blog here- http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=5949087&publicUserId=5548290 get it, if you love civ at...

well, i'd have put san jose, but i'm currently in Japan for a year, so i put that instead =)

the first ed art was pretty lame, especially the MM. i can't imagine wanting to wrap 3e books with those, especially since the existing covers are so cool.

i used to always preface a new jordan book by rereading hte series. unfortunately my books are all in the states now =( Hopefully i can still get KoD in japan though.

tiamat for me. it just screams dragonlance =)

what? a week? holy crap, and me in japan unable to get it! /cries

one thing i've never understood about western naming conventions is the middle name. in my culture, your middle name is your father's name, or your husband's name. and it's pretty much never ever referred to. Is there some significance to western middle names?

the thing that gets me? my family has been vegetarian for thousands of years. if there was any deficiency or problem in our diet, i'm sure someone would have noticed by now =) /edit- ah, b12 is in dairy. if there is anything the hindu diet may have too much of, it's milk and milk...

i dunno, my iShuf does just fine with only 1 gig. admittedly, i tend to reload it nightly, but really, you're never going to listen to that much music in a row anyway. I mainly use mine when biking to and from the school i teach at, or when i'm on the trains to tokyo. but luckily, ipods come...

as for leathers, well, india has a lot of cattle, and the reason they aren't eaten is because they provide us with milk and labor while alive, and leather after death. of course, there is a whole class of people who are outside the caste system that deal with leather work and tanning and stuff...

uh. oops. sorry about that =) (i work for 1up.com, so i automatically html links without thinking. but it's still a worthy video to check!)

i'm vegetarian, as i mentioned, by culture and habit. my girlfriend, however, isnt. she comes from a family that are bonafide foodophiles--so when she announced that she was going vegetarian some time into our relationship, it shocked the hell out of both me and her family. If there is...

I don't know that i like this tone as representative of all vegetarians. I don't think it's wrong to eat meat--i just choose not to do it. Vegetarian refers to a style of diet, not a philosophy and way of being. In my case, i'm a brahmin hindu raised to be vegetarian, because that's how our...

from <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/45388">metafilter</a>, here's a link to a slow mo <a href="http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dga/high_speed_video/Food%20Products/Jello%20drop.wmv">video</a> of a jello cube falling. it's freaking awesome, and totally gelatinous cube =)

i dont know. i know that there are vegetarians who have managed to become meat eaters (my dad, for instance, came from india to texas during the 70's to go to school. being vegetarian there ceased to be an option, and his first job was at a mcd's, no less.) but as for practical experience, i...

I'm an indian gamer, and when i DM'd at college, my group was the spectrum--asians, whites, blacks, halfs, girls and guys. But living in california will do that for ya. honestly, once you sit down at a table, the only races that matter are in the PHB.

been a vegetarian my whole life (my parents became orthodox hindus (as opposed to run of the mill hindus) right before i was born), except for one time when i wondered why everyone else could get happy meals and i couldnt. my dad took me to wendy's, bought me a burger, cleaned me after i was...

well, headsets for skype are just that- headsets. that means that they act as normal headphones in all regards, including having your sound filter through them. there's pretty much no way around that. i got headphones which are more standard (with a headphone and mike jack), and just leave...

Heya folks. I'm a JET living in Ryugasaki in southern ibaraki, an hour north of tokyo, and was wondering if there were any games to be found in the surroundings. or gamestores, even.
