My Guild Wars pug GvG Guild

Hey for all those who play Guild Wars: For those of you (PvE and PvP players alike) who are interested in GvGing, want to learn how to GvG, or just want to see what a "Guild War" is, I have a pick-up-group guild that I want to start using more to bring GvG to more GW players. A pug gvg gui...

I have very basic 2 sattelite + subwoofer setup. (I think that makes it 2 channel) Cheap speakers but they're almost always turned off when I'm using a headset. But the PC tower is on a desk to the left of the monitor and the subwoofer is on a bookshelf to the left of the desk where the tower sits. ...

Electromagnetic field around my PC causing problems with my

I'm experiencing a strange problem on my PC. I use vent to play GW and everyone complains that it sounds like I have a helecopter landing in the background. First I thought it was the MB's onboard sound. I tried installing 2 seperate sound cards but that didn't fix anything. I tried 2 mics, that did...

The Dancing Fountains

When I went to Vegas, this was my favorite attraction by far, it's truly an amazing sight, the fountains are simply incredible. The fountains are located at the Bellagio. It's not nearly as amazing on video as it is in person (the pool of water is much wider than a camera's lens and the light is nev...

I have 3 BA's, in Math, Stat and Computer Science. Scary, isn't it? I don't understand why they're BA's and not BS's but thats not a big deal. I may have an MS in Information Systems (whatever that means). Already 40% done. Need to get my head straight before I can make that happen though.

I don't consider resturants, movie theaters, stadiums, etc. to be public places.

Of course there are plac...

Unless there is something compelling on the Wii that *requires* the classic controller, there really is no sense in getting it over the GC controller, except for aesthetics. Aesthetics are very important to me, but the grip on GC controllers is much better and the functionality is superior (other t...

One thing that burned me a little bit with federal Direct Loans was missing my first payment.
