  1. I'm allergic to three things -- pollen (hay fever), birch trees and apples. Birch and apples make me break out in hives and get really, really, really itchy. D: It's not a fun feeling.

     

    I take Zyrtec, which stops the breakouts of everything but apples. It also stops the hay fever, which is nice.

  2. These are the ones the UK calls them, and which ones I have a problem with.

     

    7. Flat -- Honestly, why call it a flat? Clearly, it's three-dimensional.

    11. Lollies -- All sweets aren't lollipops. In my mind, "lollies" refers to one type of candy only.

    12. Iceblocks/ice lollies -- This is just unnecessary. First of all, popsicles aren't remotely block-shaped, and "ice lollies" just sounds unintuitive.

    16. Nappy -- I'm lost as to how this word ever developed. Diapers don't relate to naps in any way that I can imagine.

    17. Torch -- I can see where the roots of this came from, obviously, but you folks out in the UK have no way to tell the difference between a good, old fashioned torch and a flashlight.

     

    Oh, and I've always wanted to know: Do people in England speak in American accents for fun? Happens all the time in America, but with English accents. Quite fun when you're being silly. :D

  3. United States of America. My list probably isn't very enlightening. :\

     

    Also, why do you Aussies call popicles "iceblocks"? They're not even remotely block-shaped! :shame:

  4. Just play phd and get carried.

     

    Master's Call is dispellable now, probably because of DK's getting Death's Advance. Also, it's far superior to choose a warlock over a hunter for DK / Healer / DPS.

     

    And the best comp for hunters at the moment is Ret/MM/Disc, I believe, simply because the Ret and Disc priest carry the hunter. Both Ret and Disc are a little much at the moment, especially Ret.

  5. Yeah hunters are pretty bad in pvp. I don't know what they were like in Wrath, however.

     

    We were at something like 7% Arena representation in 3v3, in S6-S8. Now we're at 1.5-3%, depending on what rating (obviously the rep gets lower the higher the rating). Back in WotLK, we could disarm, drain mana, kite, do very good burst, and actually avoid incoming damage. Nowadays, we have Focus, which is an awful, broken mechanic in itself. We cast more than casters, have an extremely slow resource regeneration (that is tied to a casted shot that's canceled from LoS or someone getting to close), and have very little mobility because Master's Call is now dispellable. Oh, and we're all at sub-5% Dodge because of a substantial Dodge nerf that we took this expansion, and no self heals -- so we have effectively the least survivability in the game.

     

    TL;DR - Hunters have crap damage and survivability, and when you face an enemy, you hope they're really, really bad.

  6. Does anyone else here play a hunter in PvP? I'm so dismayed by how they've turned out this expansion. I mean, really, couldn't we get buffed just a little? I miss the WotLK hunter style so much that I'm thinking of joining a private server. If hunters aren't fixed by 4.1, and I mean genuinely fixed, then I'm going to have to quit WoW.

  7. Invest 75% into stocks, buying a Merc S-Class and give a bit of cash to fishing water eco programs.

    But if you put your money in a savings account with an 0.05% annual interest, you could make $50,000 per year in interest! That'd be doubling your money in twenty years.

  8. No one has thought of saving your money? If you have a good interest rate at the bank, your $1 million can generate you almost $50,000 a year by just sitting there. That's $1000 per week going down the drain if you decide to buy a new sportscar. :\

  9. My headset (gaming for computer, but they work for Xbox 360 as well) is the Microsoft Lifechat LX3050. They're honestly fantastic quality, and you should hear the bass on them. :D Great mic quality, also, with adjustable settings. Good buy, in my opinion.

     

    You should've posted that in the other thread when headphones were the item ;-) .

    This thread is "What would you own, if you had the money"

     

    I know that headphones and earbuds aren't high on people's list, so I'll change the item when this thread idles.

    Hey, man, just because I'm rich doesn't mean I have to waste money. :shades:

  10. Personally, I like girls who are SHORTER than I am. It's mainly because petite bodys are so plump and tender which is always a turn on.

    Taller girls tend to smell more (not trying to offend or generalize) from my experience and they seem to have more testosterone which

    may turn off some sensitive guys like me. :P

    How can petite bodies be 'plump and tender'? That not only sounds creepy, but confuses me because plump makes me think of fat/chubby/overweight girls while petite makes me think of little girls.

     

    And Leah doesn't smell at all! LIES

     

    Edit: A thing that I have noticed that I find attractive in the opposite sex is a very subtle curling of the lips when they smile or talk. It's hard to describe, but it kinda makes them look like a cat (...)

     

    TAYLOR SWIFT IS TALL. AND UBER FEMININE. Pssh.

    Yeah, petite doesn't seem to match with curvy and plump in my head.

     

    I think on some dark haired guys a bit of stubble looks good. As long as it doesn't look creepy or dirty.

    I like a girl shorter than me, but not too short. "Petite" wouldn't be the way I'd describe it. First, shorter girls are less intimidating than tall girls, and second, being shorter makes their boobs look bigger. :thumbup:

  11. Personally, I think sniping isn't even worth it anymore. :\ It takes two or more well-placed bullets (aimed at upper or middle chest) to kill somebody, and that's with a bolt-action sniper. The Walter 2000 is the only semi-auto sniper (I believe), but it's even less powerful than the bolt-action snipers.

    1) Steal alone, because you don't want others to get in trouble if you get caught

    No, it's because more people are more likely to drawn attention, that and if you outran the cops, but someone in your group was caught they can easily crack under pressure and the promises of leniency.

     

    2) It's actually much easier to get caught in larger establishments because they usually have higher security. You can steal from things like gas stations or smaller stores owned by big chains simply

    because they have blind spots to their cameras and/or they don't always have the tag-sensing thing. There's actually a game store at our local mall that doesn't have the tag-sensing things, so it would actually be ridiculously easy to steal from there -- the only problem is that the store employees watch you all the time.

    Not true, I can guarantee you most of those places put fake equipment in most of the places, and store employees can't do anything anyway.

     

    4) Stay away from places that sell very expensive things (i.e., Best Buy), because they will have higher security as well. It's best to steal from places that have a mix of very cheap items and moderately-expensive items.

    It's more about what you steal.

    Hey, man, just trying to help. Like I said, I've only ever stolen one thing. :lol:

  13. Haha thats exactly what I mean, I just cant fathom true nothingness. Even empty space - there is still space/time. I cant imagine space itself not existing, though it is fun to try and imagine.

    Interestingly enough, space can't exist without time and time can't exist without space. Therefor, it's actually space-time.
