Wow, yeah, I just crunched the numbers, and if I bought all of the download stuff on its own it would cost me about $40. DA Ultimate is going for a little less than $50 on Amazon.com. That's definitely worth it.

In theory, you could buy a smartphone, sign up for a plan, dump it as soon as the contract expires and then use that smartphone with whatever plan you want, but some phones require you to "jailbreak" it to allow it to work on other networks (which voids the warranty). I had considered doing...

You can tell your party to hold their position and not move unless ordered, so it's still possible to take control of your rogue and sneak ahead of the party to scout or lay traps. Mage spells cannot duplicate rogue abilities as far as I saw. Rogue is the only class that gets to be sneaky, and...

You need to tell him this. Pretty much exactly like this, too. And if he agrees he needs to change and doesn't change you need to call him out at the table as soon as he starts. Don't let him ruin another session. He may not realize he's doing it if he doesn't get reminded, so you need to...

I am a tech junkie, but I use my cell phone so little that I cannot justify getting anything expensive. I've got a $20 phone with a pre-paid plan. I have to put $20 into the account every 3 months to keep it active, and that money just piles up until I use it. I also pay around $.25 a minute...

This one worked fine for years, then all of a sudden in the last 6 months or so I've had several problems with it that appeared out of the blue.

Well, everything is working fine right now (and was as of the router's reset to factory defaults this morning). I guess I'll give my router a pass this time, but I'm really getting fed up with random issues that require a reset to factory defaults, and if it happens one more time I'm seriously...

Huh... I do have Comcast, so maybe that had something to do with it, but when I decided to reset my router to factory settings I made a backup of its configuration first. After I reset, the internet came back. When I restored that backup the internet went away again. Then I restored a "last...

So, last night I was editing some audio files and watching a video (nothing that was using internet) and then I decided to check something online. Chrome didn't want to go to any sites. I also noticed my Gmail Notifier had the exclamation point icon on it, meaning it couldn't connect to my...

I didn't think this episode was that bad, but I guess I'm more patient than most folks. Not every episode has to further the over-plot, IMO. I was at my parents' house this weekend for Thanksgiving where they actually got SyFy and I noticed they were advertising SGU pretty frequently (I...

Tip for those playing (you'll probably figure this out soon enough anyway): kill or incapacitate the casters first. Knock 'em down, stun 'em, kill em, just don't let them get those fireballs out. Though there was one fun moment when It was hilarious.

They are on my Christmas list, so I won't be playing those immediately, in any case. :) My husband has heard me ranting and raving about this game for a few weeks now so I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get me Awakening. I'm also drooling over DA II, but I can no longer justify paying full...

Fire seems to be a common riddle subject. There was a riddle earlier about something needing to feed but never drink.

I know I'm coming to the party way late and resurrecting this thread, but I just finished DA:O and loved the heck out of it. I could not put it down, and when the credits were finished rolling and I shut down my PC for the night I had this hollow feeling inside like, "What am I going to do now...

A pregnant woman?

Is it still necessary to even post "reported" when reporting a post? I thought the reason the mods requested that was because multiple reports of the same post would appear as different threads in some mod-only forum, but now the software concatenates multiple reports of the same post into one...

Another vote for the Sansa Fuze, here. I've had one for a few months now (six months, maybe?) and I love it. I should note that I have dropped this thing several times. Most of the time it was caught by the headphones before it made contact with the ground so it didn't get the full impact...

Once they've realized the first one is popular, they spend time to improve on it with the second. It's the opposite of movies, where often the second one is just hacked out as cheaply as possible to just ride on the popularity of the first. Lots of these that people have mentioned are some of...

The bus driver "riddle" I posted above is masquerading as a logic puzzle, I think. But I really do think that the official name for albatross puzzles is "lateral thinking puzzle" or "situation puzzles", not logic puzzles.

I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I do enjoy watching his character and trying to figure out what he'd do next and when his stuff's going to hit the fan. But no, I don't think anyone could argue at this point that he's a likable character.
