Way to take a perfectly nice post about your roommates being messy douchebags and make it about you being a racist.

Diablo 3
Diablo is an action RGP that kind of defined a genre. There are tons of Diablo like games out there that you can pick up a demo for, or for cheap. I recently played Torchlight on Steam and it was all kinds of fun. Well worth the money. Diablo and Baldur's Gate are two completely different games. One is a story driven party game with D&D base and the ability to pause the combat while the other is a single character action driven loot fest. I enjoyed them both very much but to call them the same game implies you haven't played at least one of them.

The Debt Ceiling
Well, I got the chart from Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. And as for the stimulus, most economists wouldn't agree that it did nothing. While they're numbers are all over the board, they're united in that the stimulus created/added/saved jobs during the recession. And I believe nearly all agree that it could have saved more had it been larger, not smaller. But to claim it did nothing is false. Now if you were to claim it didn't save the economy from sliding into a huge hole, I wouldn't argue with you, although I would imagine our rationals for such a position would be wildly ...

The Debt Ceiling
I'm just going to leave this here and move on: I think they were more concerned with trying to stop the free fall of the economy in 2009-10. Also, it'd be easier if the Senate still operated under majority rule.

Holdem manager today?
I did install the newest update, but today it's still screwing up something fierce. Like the HUD never shows up or is extremely delayed, showing stats for people that busted a while ago. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution'

Holdem manager today?
I was having problems today too, with a rebuy and the 15:30 early ante tournament. I didn't see any other threads here, but looks like they pushed a new update recently. I'm giving it a go.

6x Double Deuce $25 LL
Out of curiosity, why are you limiting it to people who enter six times' Wouldn't you want the people who enter less in the pool too' You've got better odds to win than they do.

Diablo 3
They also announced Warcraft Adventures and Starcraft: Ghost somewhere in the late 90's. Basically, it's Blizzard. They'll take their sweet time, and when it finally comes out it's probably going to be amazing. BlizzCon is in October this year. I've heard rumor it'll probably come out shortly after that, like their newest WoW Expansion, Cataclysm, came out about 6 weeks after last years BlizzCon.

anyone think it's a good idea to have mini ftops before FTOPs?
If you had miniFTOPS before, the winner of whatever event could get free entry into their FTOPS event. A little something extra for the community.

Happy Birthday Fox News
There's a difference. Rather lost his job for that one, and I've never heard of anyone getting fired from Fox for anything. Fox News might be the most trusted cable news program out there, but I wish it weren't.

$250 superstack at Rockingham Park Poker Room, NH this weekend
50k chips but they start at 400/800 with 100 ante' That doesn't seem like a rip off to anyone else' Edit - Or did you mean they start antes at 400/800... because that would make a lot more sense.

Obama White House now getting ideas from UPS commercials
Whoops, you're right, I read what I wanted to read, not what you said. Point taken, it's not a hand out. However, it was a changing of the rules to disproportionally benefit those that weren't in need of any assistance to the detriment of everyone else and our country as a whole. I guess you win'

Obama White House now getting ideas from UPS commercials
Nope. Maybe if there was some evidence to support your position, but there isn't. Tax cuts went into effect, the deficit exploded, the economy tanked, and the gap between the rich and poor grew.

I oppose extending the tax cuts for the wealthy because I am concerned about the Deficit, a ticking time bomb that will rape our children and our childrens' children.

Cash game rule question...
They're both right, depending on where you are. If you're playing online, every site I've dealt with follows the rules laid out by PIsom23. A club I worked at in Dublin followed the rules laid out by Gamble. So if you're playing live, I'd check out the rules posted on the wall that dictate the raise rules, or just ask the dealer at the table. If you're playing a home game... argue about it for half and hour and get everyone pissed off. Then minraise every hand.

what is the way to play a cashout tournement?
But if you final table, you get your chip value from the cashout prize pool (as if you cashed out entirely) and you get to keep your chips and play for the win. +1 to never cashing out, just final table them.

Diablo 3
They'll probably give a vague target date at Blizzcon, in late October. They're still trying to push out the latest WoW expansion this year, so I'd say late next year at the earliest. If you ever get wind of a beta, probably ~6 months after that.

Rush Week, the After Thoughts Poll
There's actually a $3r Rush Turbo at 13:15 eastern. It's a ton smaller (150 people, ~450 for first) because the other one has a guarantee, but it's still a lot of fun.

Re:Question for all of you WoW players
You could go here and here to get some ideas/way more information than you need. Bartender is awesome, highly recommended. Gearscore reduces you to a number based on the equipment you have that other people will use to judge you once you get to lvl 80. There's a correlation between having a high gear score and being a good player, but it's not absolute. It's like the correlation between player quality and higher buy in MTTs. Just because you can buy into a $500 tournament doesn't mean you're not a mouth breathing moron. Just know that other people are going to wave their ...

Re:Obama authorizes assassination of U.S. citizen
I'm not sure anyone's getting owned, per say, except maybe the sausage guy near the beginning. Jezum crow his view of an authoritarian and vague justice system scares the crap out of me. But at least we're mixing up the usual sides in the debate. I mean, hell, jets, Willywoo, and UD are all on the same side of something. When's the last time that happened' Anyway, jets, you raise a good point about waterboarding vs drone assassination. I don't know how I feel about that yet. I'll think about it and get back to you. As for UD's "Don't be terrorized," ...

Re:Obama authorizes assassination of U.S. citizen
I'm gonna disagree, because I don't think any of you get it. It's not about this guy, it's about the process. I'll quote Update II again from the article, because I doubt you read it. I don't like the precedent where the President, whomever it is, can declare someone a Threat to the United States and have them executed without providing evidence and with no oversight. The Constitution and Rule of Law in the country are two of the things that make us great, and grant us moral authority in the world. Side stepping them to have someone executed weakens us, not ...

Re:Obama authorizes assassination of U.S. citizen
I'm not saying he's innocent, I'm saying that if the gov't thinks he's guilty, than the gov't should arrest him, charge him, and take him to trial where they present evidence under the oversight of the Judicial branch. For everyone saying GTFO, no one's explained why we cannot do this.

Re:Obama authorizes assassination of U.S. citizen
Anwar al-Awlaki is not Osama bin Ladin. He's not a declared leader of al Qaeda, or even a declared member. The Federal Gov't is just telling us he's a member, while his family denies it. I don't have a problem if the Gov't offed bin Ladin because he has perpetrated crimes against the United States and its citizens then bragged about it. If the Government wanted to arrest him and put him on trial, giving him his Constitutional right to defend himself, fine. But currently, he can't defend himself because he's in hiding, rightfully fearing that his government is ...
