Chapel Hill killings
It's sad how ever crime is reduced to some sort of hate-crime these days.

Do a pony build. Also kridershot is still gr8, people still want them. I have a Stampede build too, but it's not as good. I can't push anything past 43 with it. I really do enjoy the Stampede build a lot more than the Condemn build though. Finally managed to get past 49 on my Barb as well. Got really lucky. Finished it with 6 and a half minutes left. Had a Power Pylon right where the RG spawned, and it was Stonesinger. Dropped half it's HP within the first few seconds. Also, as for the Kridershot, i don't think it's amazing right now. I'm currently using an Ancient Barb and it's doing a lot better. Even when i'm forced to use a Hatred Generator, it's just so much better. Why do I feel as if it's easier to do things on console? It's the exact same lol, ive just been having stupid luck lately.

Yeah i know. My initial thought was to trash their cars, but i'm not a teenager anymore. It's kind of upsetting though, you know. I'm a pretty peaceful person. I don't think ive really ever done anything to upset them. I didn't even go talk to his mother to start any shit. I just wanted her to talk to the kid and have him clean my car. It's cool though, they kick their ball into our yard pretty often.

Jesus christ it's like they were trying to bake a cake on my car or something. Half a bag of flour dumped on the car as well. I get the eggs, but wtf is with the flour. So i went next door to talk to the parents and tell them to tell their kids to go wash my car. She explodes and tells me to get the [bleep] off her property and how dare i accuse her kids of something like this. I tried to take the nice way out :\

Last night at about 3am i went outside for a cigarette. While standing on the roof i noticed one of the neighbor's kids skulking around my car. Decided to stand there and watch him for a few minutes. Next thing i know, he starts egging my car... I was too confused to do anything about it at the time, but tonight i'm going to get my revenge :twisted:

From what i've heard the living cost in Aus is pretty damn high. I feel like we're in similar boats. My ex-girlfriend's mother used to pay around $1 700 a month for their (tiny) 2-bedroom apartment. My room alone is probably the size of half of the apartment. We pay just short of $4 000 a month for the house we live in currently. It's a lot bigger (~500sq.m), but i still don't think it justifies the price we pay for it. Our house back in South Africa was around 550sp.m on a 1 600sq.m land and iirc we considered renting it out instead of selling it (when we moved to Qatar) and from what i remember the Real-estate Agents told us we could get a maximum of $2 000 a month (at that time) for the house. One of my friends (in Qatar) currently lives in a house that's going for around $9 000 a month. It's slightly bigger than the one i live in, but it's in the "better" part of the country. Regardless, i don't ever see that being worth it. For the average "western" family it's not a major issue. Most companies either provide accommodation, or give you a housing allowance (which is according to your pay-scale). But for non-western families it can be an issue. Salaries here are largely dependent on your passport, meaning (for example) an American is likely to get a much higher salary than an Indian in the exact same position. On a slightly different note, last year October my dad was "laid off" from the company where he worked. He worked for the royal family's airline, which "merged" with Qatar Airways (again). As a result, most of the Emiri Flight (that's the name of the royal family's airline) got laid off. The reason behind this kind of goes with what i said about salaries being dependent on your passport. Qatar Airways' staff is, for the most part, Indian, Pakistani, and Filipino. Emiri Flight's finance department was, for the most part, western. The Senior Financial Officer from Qatar Airways, even though he's doing the exact same job as my dad (who was SFO for Emiri Flight), earns just a bit less than half of what my dad and he has worse benefits as well. My dad had a pretty high housing-allowance as well as 3 First Class air-tickets for himself and 2 for my mom per year, which he could exchange for the money instead (which he usually did). That alone came to around 1 and a half months' salary. In Qatar Airways you're not able to exchange it for the money, so it's use it or lose it. Their housing allowance is also about halved.

Diablo III
Kridershot probably isn't all that good anymore anyway. I have one (Ancient) and i really haven't used it much. I find that a decently rolled Crossbow is better. I've been messing around with a few different builds the past week or two trying to figure out what i want to work on a bit more seriously and push higher Greater Rifts but i'm struggling to really stick to on class. I find that i do best with a WoL Monk, Condemn Crusader, and Furious Charge Barb managing to do 48 with all 3 of those, but for some reason i don't really enjoy the playstyle of any of them too much.

Diablo III
Got a SMK and DoD the other day (both ancient). Kinda crapped my pants. Also found 4 Ancient Furnaces so far. 2 of them rolled Dex cause i got them on a Monk so they ended up being fairly useless, but 2 of them rolled Str, so they're pretty damn good. Can't even remember how many Ancients i have by now but i think ive pretty much replaced all my old gear by now.

Diablo III
I've had it downloaded, played Space Engineers today lol. I'd be down to play if you're on PC. Im on Xbox :s Should have seen how some people were raging when they heard we got the patch before them, and it got even worse when they found out we already have Season 2 items. Yeah well we're followes of GabeN so they have a right to be mad. :P I'm kind of indifferent about the seasonal items, I've been thinking about making a seasonal character when the new season starts. I might do a monk now that monks are actually worth a damn I'm enjoying my Monk so far, have to admit. But i think i like the new Raekor Barb the most. It actually works on console now. I've managed to get up to GR44 now, with 35 being my highest before the patch (with the Barb). So i'm quite happy with it. The 44 i cleared was with something like 5 minutes left as well. Was a really good Rifts. I feel like i might be able to get to the higher 40's with it easily now. Have you had any luck with some Ancient shit yet?

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
Got an Xbox One over Christmas, along with Diablo 3 and CoD. Already had both on 360, but Diablo 3 on the current consoles is much better. Haven't been able to stop playing Diablo 3...

So i had a pretty interesting night on NYE. Went to a party. Everything was going good. The clock struck 12, everyone was celebrating. Not sure how much time passed, but next thing i know the front door bursts open, ~15 cops stormed in. We're all pushed up against walls, pockets emptied, people yelling, freaking out, crying. No one knows what the hell is going on. After the initial 15 minutes of absolute panic and chaos we realise it's the DEA and we're being drug raided. They searched the house, found some stuff, we were all loaded in the back of a bus and transported to the Medical department of the DEA. We all had to take urine tests, etc. Some people actually did smoke. Before or during the party is unclear. Some people were actually just back in town for the holidays, didn't smoke here, but smoked prior to coming. Either way, they're [bleep]ed. Some people are bound to show up positive on the urine test just due to inhaling the amount of smoke that was hanging in the air. A matter of wrong place and the wrong time for a lot of people. Eventually got home at 3pm the following day. What a crazy experience. Not how i wanted to start 2015, but you know.....

Looking for a New Game? Ask Here!
I'm planning on (finally) buying myself an Xbox One. I've pretty much made up my mind now (after much debating) and i decided to buy one for Xmas. I've seen a few different bundle deals and most of them i'm not really interested in. Ideally i would want one that is bundled with CoD:AW, but i haven't seen that here yet. The only one i saw that i might be interested in was a Destiny bundle. I have seen some Destiny game play online, but i've never played it first hand. And i don't really have any idea what it's about either. A friend of mine tried explaining to me more or less what it is, and the best he could come up with was that it's kind of like Titanfall (another game i have no experience with) or Halo in terms of game play, but it has a Diablo-like loot system. That was pretty much the best explanation he could give me. I like Diablo (a lot). It's one of the two reasons i decided to get a new console. So anything with a loot system like Diablo 3, where i'm constantly on the hunt for better items, really interests me. If the game play is similar to Halo, that's a bonus too. But i was hoping someone here, someone that's played Destiny for a decent amount of time, would be able to tell me whether or not it's really worth getting. Is it the kind of game that could keep you busy for 100 hours? Keep in mind, this is probably a game i won't spend too much time with playing online. So i should probably ask if this is the kind of game that could keep you busy for 100 hours of play with 95% of the time being offline? Only reason i'm really asking is because if it's not worth buying it in a bundle, i might consider buying the FIFA/Forza bundle instead (assuming i don't see anything better).

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Just gonna quote this in case you sober up before anyone sees this, and you get the chance to change it. :| at that. Was mad stressed out about finals at that moment, and then wasted more hours by being drunk instead of studying. Hah, i think most guys would be lying if at some point in their life they didn't say the exact same thing (or at least think it), when drunk (or perhaps not even drunk just frustrated). Luckily for you, it was said on the internet to a group of "strangers" and not in a group of guys (really "manly" guys who wouldn't let a moment in which they can prove how manly they are slip through their fingers) who have been drinking since the afternoon. Yeah... the weirdest thing from that entire experience for me was that i felt like at least 2 or 3 of them wanted to take me up on my "offer".

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Honestly, once you know a person you love has said something bad about you, there's no going back. You won't be able to look at them the same way, or feel the same way. Despite what you're telling yourself. You still get down about it because you haven't moved on and you haven't forgiven him. Chances are you're never going to either. Whether you think what they said is true or untrue is irrelevant in your situation because this is not about how you're making yourself feel. This is about how he is making you feel, how he made you feel, and how he's going to make you feel in the future. Sad fact is that you're probably always going to hold on to what he said, whether he makes new friends or not. Best thing you can do is let go, move on. Yeah, for once i'm telling someone to break up. But that's just how it is.
