Just having a super comfy leather office chair is good enough for me if you spend some money and get a good one. I figure as much ass to chair time as I get, might as well find a good chair -- same applies to a good bed. Hell, sometimes I just grab a throw and fall asleep in this thing. Glad I dont late night raid anymore or my ass would be falling asleep at the wheel.
As a parent of a 15 year old with Aspergers, I can relate, also.
Zehn, why in the world are you staring at a wall.
I use 2 monitors with a big screen TV in the corner behind me. I have a pretty big home office, though.

I"ve been a big Denver fan my entire life. I"ve got a few pieces of memorabilia signed by the superbowl 32 Broncos. Elway, TD, Atwater, Sharpe.. etc.Big_Dumb_Animal said:
Ive also got a signed photo from the Av"s (circa 2002). Its got Roy, Sakic, Blake, etc.
My pop"s got a signed team football from the 62 packers. Bart Star, Max McGee, Lombardi and company.
Im not starstruck. I wont faint if I see any one of those guys. But as a fan, what they did was pretty special. And I think its pretty sweet having a piece of it here in my home. I dont think this is so dissimilar to having a piece of the berlin wall, or a hunk of concrete from road barrier in Iraq.
Some of the stuff Curts done on and off the field have been pretty special. For a fan, I dont think its out of line to want to be a part of it. Im all for ya Guanna - I hope you get your autograph.
Sports are by and large the upper tier of entertainment in America.
Professional Athletes are silly overpaid, just like Hollywood actors, and other celebrities. However, it"s supply and demand, and the American way. I realize there are millions of people who can do what I do. There are few people who can throw a 98 mph fastball into a small strike box, or make it in the NFL. They are the elite.
It does irk me that we have a society that craves inflating celebrities and putting them on a pedestal. My kids will never see me get an autograph, and I"ll be glad to thell them faceless, nameless millionaires are fun to watch on TV but are not important or really relevent.
Except perhaps Jordan. Dang he was amazing to watch.

If this is true then this is a truly phenomenal thing. I like this idea SOOO much more then another new island expansion, WOW"s old world lore was rich and I am looking hugely forward to seeing the new version of it and seeing it take the center stage again.
For you folks here that have used and liked the AA service, well actually for those that tried it and maybe didn"t find as much use for it as you"d have liked, I wanted to post some update stuff and if anyone here has feedback I"d love to hear it.

They hired this girl a year ago who is now the CEO. I have yet to see any real game experience on her resume.
She was the VP of games at Comcast before. Forgive me, but what games did Comcast make or do? I guess who you know and being a looker is all it takes in Boston and at Comcast. She has a degree in International Relations. Perhaps Copernicus is hoping if they bomb here she can sell it to some group in Asia...

Sheri: "What can you say about someone who started as a game tester and quietly worked her way up to a position of power in one of the most influential game distribution companies in the world?
Jen"s looks can be deceiving; she is a beautiful, petite, blond... with one of the sharpest game industry business minds around. I so respect what she"s done and look forward to seeing where she"s going to lead the industry in the future!"

What?
In the post you refer to, right at the top, it reads

So starting at MP, working with Sid Meier, over 17 years ago is not "any real game experience"
Really? Compared to who? You? Ut? who?
Oh and this one...
I guess who you know and being a looker is all it takes in Boston and at Comcast.
You"re an idiot.

On a resume and in video games 17 years is a lifetime. Also, what was she doing regarding any online content in 1992? Designing a web site for the yet to be mainstream internet? Games that came out in that era were titles like Gunship 2000, Tank Platoon, Command HQ. She worked directly with Sid Meier? On what? Wiping his ass or fucking the guy...Ngruk said:
Is she the one with the great idea to put collection flags in your WoW add on you want everyone to download so you can track playing habits? Or was that yours.
