If only auto correct actually corrected something.

Right now i'm still using a Chaotic Staff, but i wanted to get something for DW too. I'm not sure on the current Virtus prices, but i'm sure it's way beyond my reach. I'm assuming i'd be better off using a C Staff over Ahrim's Book and Wand, but what about situations where i would need a shield (however small they might be). What would be a good option to fall back on?

Well i don;t know half the people they borrow money from. Like i said, most of them is from her office or their church. And people from the church aren't going to say no. It's one of those Cult churches. They'll think that saying no to someone means eternal damnation. It's utterly sickening. They don't realise what they're doing. And besides everyone is too busy feeling sorry for him because he tells them how he can't find a job because of a misunderstanding he had with the police. When in reality he doesn't understand his place, lost his temper, and almost assaulted a police officer. If his sister wasn't married to one of the wealthiest people in the country, he wouldn't even be here anymore. He would have had his ass deported back to Pakistan. And he keeps on blaming everything on his upbringing. We went out for dinner a few months ago and he told me how he never had the chance to go to Uni or College because they never had the money for it, and that's why he's struggling so much now. Fact is, he was just too lazy to make an effort. I told him how my dad grew up in the same situation. He grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe where he was one of four boys and he had to wear hand-me-downs till he started working at the age of 18. He paid for his own Uni, spent every weekend studying. Had no social life until he was 23 when he met my mother. And now he's a very successful accountant. Why? Because he worked his ass off and ate shit for 23 years of his life. He tried telling me that the situation was different because of this and that, but he knew he was talking in circles. I get that life in Pakistan is different than life in Zimbabwe, but if he made a bit of an effort instead of marrying at such a young age and have children straight away he could have avoided that. And it's not a cultural thing, because he went completely against culture when he married in Indian woman. Which is a Major taboo for where he's from. He's just a lazy, selfish prick.

Her mom is fine. One of the hardest workers i've ever known. So is my gf. Works her ass off for 10 hours a day, gets shit from just about everyone at work but never complains. Her dad though... scum.

I think i severely pissed off my girlfriend's dad today. To give you some background: He's not been working for about 3 years now. He's been asking family for money to support his own family, and as soon as his daughters were old enough to work, he made them find jobs so they could support the family too. His brothers and sisters cut him off not long ago. They used to pay for his car and house. So they had to move into a smaller house. Much smaller. Hardly big enough for two people to live (they're three sisters). Luckily two of them are in USA/Canada right now in Uni. When my gf Moved back here 10 last year Jan, they made her get a job before she was even settled back in again, and the day she got her first paycheck they asked for half of it to pay the rent. While all of this was going on, her dad would drive around all day doing god knows what, asking money left and right from his wife and my gf to pay for gas and whatever else he did. I tried helping him find a job, but without much success. He has a bad temper and 2 years ago he had some words with a police officer, and it went on record. It's an offence that can EASILY be cleared up in less than a day, but he keeps using it as an excuse for not being able to find a job. I got him a job interview at the airport, as a transported. The HR guy told me that her dad is not exactly well suited for the job (he has to drive people from terminal to the plane) because he's had probably like 10 accidents the past 5 years, and he'll have to drive a bus full of people. It's a risk they can't take. But he would do me a favor and try and find him something else. And so he did. I put my neck out on the line, and what does this ungrateful [wagon] do? Nothing... They told him he could start his first day of work soon as he clears up his bad record with the police. It's something he has to do personally, no one can do it for him. This was all in Nov 2013. It's almost 3 months later and he's not done anything about it yet. My gf has so much trouble saving. She's been working for a whole year now and she has nothing to show for it. Why? Because her dickhole of a dad keeps asking her for money. And the saddest part of it all is, he doesn't even do it himself, he gets his wife to do it. She wanted to divorce him last year, but sadly that's not an option because without him, they have to leave the country due to the sponsorship system here. So last year Dec i told my gf to stop giving him money. Even if it means them losing their house. She can come live with me, and we'll figure something out for her mom. But did this stop him? No. What does he do? He asks other people for money. He makes his wife as people at work to borrow money, people at church, pretty much anyone. Today i overheard a disgusting conversation he had with his eldest daughter, telling her to ask her grandmother for rent money. Her pension and disability money. Barely enough to keep her head above water. Few months ago my parents told me that they have a big issue with me dating her because they're scared her parents might start asking me for money when i start working. I already have a job lined up soon as i graduate in 8 months, and my starting salary will be way above what my gf and her mother earn together. On top of that i'll have my accommodation and car paid for by the company, so i'll have little that i really NEED to spend my money on. And he knows this (because his wife works in finances at the airport and she knows what pilots earn). So i never thought that he would actually ever consider something like that...until today. So my gf was taking a shower, and i was sitting with her parents in the living room. I was on my phone pretending to be busy, just so they wouldn't start a conversation with me. I have little to no respect for this guy, and i find myself constantly having to bite my tongue when i'm around him. Call me old-fashioned, but i grew up in a house where the man was the main provider. And if he was not, then at least he contributed in some way, be it big or small. So anyway, they were watching something on TV about good holiday destinations. He mentioned that he would love to go there, and told me that once i'm a pilot i can get them cheap tickets to go to wherever they wanted to go. I just gave a nervous smile, because i could feel the rage coming. He went on to say that he's excited for me to start working because life would be a lot more comfortable then. I was confused by this statement so i asked why. "You don't think we're going to fly economy if our daughter is married to a pilot, do you? We're going to tell them our daughter is married to the pilot so we can get 1st class tickets" Patience was now gone. So i told him that maybe he should find a job first before he thinks about traveling. He can't even support his family (let alone himself) and he's thinking about going to god damn [bleep]ing Bali to a 5 star resort? I kind of exploded. I went on to tell him that he is a spineless piece of shit and the only thing valuable he has done in his life is provide sperm. He interrupted my by telling me that i was being disrespectful (his wife sat in silence) and i told him that i have never had much respect for him but for the past 8 months ive had ZERO respect for him. If he think he's going to get any benefit from me being a pilot he's deluded. He has a bigger chance of growing a vagina than getting even a cent from me. Whether i make $1000 a day or $1m a month, i'll still not give him a cent. I won't even give him the satisfaction of looking at a cent that i've earned. I told him that i tried to help him get a job, i put my neck on the line, but he shat on my kindness when he did [bleep]all about it. I told him that i have never been so disgusted by anyone in my entire life, that he would ask his 21 year old daughter to support him when he is more than capable of finding a job. Needless to say he got extremely upset with me, and demanded that i leave the house. At this point my gf was out of the shower because she heard the yelling and wondered what was going on. I told her to get dressed so we could leave, but instead she told me she wasn't going anywhere. She told her dad that if anyone was going to leave the house, it would be him. He doesn't pay the rest, she and her mom does. He has no say in what goes on in this house, so if he has any problems with me being there, he's welcome to leave the house till i go home. He went to his room and slammed the door behind him like a teenager that just got yelled at by his parents. I was really proud of my gf for finally standing up to her dad. Probably the wrong thing to be proud of, but i was. She told me she was so ashamed of what her dad said (she said she could here most of the conversation we had) about me getting them cheap tickets. And she didn't want to believe it (me telling her that eventually her dad will ask me to borrow money too) but now she sees the truth. Oh, and i saw some guy near my house walking a billy-goat... Leash and everything. No joke.

You might be better off not suing because potential employers aren't likely to hire someone who might sue them. Valid point, there's other ways I can react to this situation, but I'd prefer not to burn bridges, its the only job I've ever had outside of volunteer work. My boss is willing to write me recommendation letters and stuff (we were pretty close) but the owners of the organization (the roots of all the mafia cracks) are the ones that decided to cut me. I'm headed there in a couple hours to pick up my last check, where I'm going to respectfully ask for my reason of termination. We'll see where it goes from there. I'm only going to go to CEPA if I feel I need to. But that's kind of what they're counting on. I am a "whistle blower" so from what I gathered in my brief research is that I do have a fairly solid case, so long as they don't provide me with a legitimate reason for my oddly timed termination. At least you can take comfort in knowing that if you wanted to sue, you could. Here it's a whole different story. 2 Months ago my mom got laid off as well, without any reason. But she kind of suspects she knows why. She didn't take a call from her boss one after-noon, after her work hours. She had just been in a minor car accident on her way back from work as was busy exchanging her insurance details with the guy that crashed into her. She got a call from her boss and didn't pick up. Next day she went to work only to find that she was locked out of her office and there was a notice taped to her door saying her employment has been terminated and her last day will be on x-date. They didn't even have the balls to say it to her face. But that's the funny thing about working for arabs here, especially if you're a woman. My mom doesn't really take shit from people. They wanted her to authorize some payments (she's an accountant) without knowing what it was really for. They (management) would put ask her to put personal expenses as business expenses and she would refuse, because it's fraud. And when they had their audit a week before her termination the auditor found a few other suspect transactions, too. But of course, now one is going to say anything because the company is owned by one of the Sheikhs. Because she didn't really worry about losing her job, she always told them she wasn't going to do anything dodgy no matter how small. So because she didn't really "fear" them (if you understand how sponsorship works in this country, this would make a lot more sense), i think they felt a bit intimidated by her. Which explains why they were to cowardice to fire her to her face. The company has a bit of a history for doing some dodgy things though, so it didn't really come as much of a surprise to anyone. My mom said she probably has enough proof to get the company is some real trouble if she wanted to, but the risk of my dad losing his job would be way too big. What a country.

The actual wealth on the account isn't really that impressive. What's impressive is the collections. Must have taken quite a while to get.

I am excite.

You're in for a real treat with Dark Souls (buy one or two spare controllers).

Last night was the first time in 8 month i actually thought about cheating on my girlfriend. We went out to this NYE party and she was busy most of the night talking to her friends and stuff, so i walked around and mingled with some random people. So i met this 33 year old girl. Really...just beautiful. We started talking and the conversation went on for quite some time actually. She knew i had a girlfriend, cause i introduced the two of them, but she didn't seem to care too much. She's working on our Airport project, as one of the engineers. So she has quite a bit on contacts at the Airline, and offered to help me out get in touch with some people regarding a job. Asked for my number, etc. But she was also very friendly with me. Not in the "i want to help you become a pilot" way, but more in the "i was to take you to my bedroom" way. The reason i say this is because of her body language and the fact that she was very touchy. It was pretty awkward, but also pretty cool that someone older than me was actually hitting on me and seemed pretty interested :D I feel bad, but at the same time i really don't.

I bought the first and couldn't get into it at all. Is the second that much of an improvement? I never played the first, wanted to pick it up from the sale but kind of forgot. But the second is a really good game, with a slight learning curve. The combat is a lot better/harder than something like Skyrim. I would put it more in line with something like Dark Souls.

I played The Witcher 2. It's a pretty awesome game. It's going to make Skyrim seem like child's play.

Besides F2P is a trial of "the real game". No need to update your trial every month. Once every quarter is plenty IMO.

Looks like a fun month. Excited for Skoll and Hati. I could do with some fast exp again.

Purchased quite a few games in the last 2 or so weeks: Blade Symphony Dragon Age: Origins Blood Knights Deus Ex Devil May Cry The Last Remnant Mirror's Edge Payday Torchlight II That now puts me at a collection of 50 PC games of which i've only played like 5 for more than 10 hours...

Me and my gorgeous girlfriend :D

Been feeling very down the last 2 days. I'm meant to be happy. Xmas is in 2 days, and i can't find myself to smile. It sucks, haha.

Yeah he was actually the only one that gave me a lot of trouble, to be honest. I'd take a bit longer on him than the rest, cause my rotation to flop. Thanks a lot.

Eh, i can't really say. He went home with a lot of girls, but never really hooked up with any of them (except of maybe 3 of them, which would be on a semi-regular basis then). He always told me that he felt uncomfortable sleeping with someone on the first night they meet, and due to his crazy schedule i don't think he was really interested in a relationship at the time.

I actually think he can get laid a lot easier than she can. When i went out with him over the past 3 years... some nights we had to beat girls away with a stick. I don't know, the dude's an attractive guy. He never had to really initiate anything. Girls would always approach him. I always asked him why he never went for any of the girls that approached him and i always got the same answer "I don't feel like i have too". Now i think he's regretting it, haha.

He's kind of always been like this i think. I doubt he's really going to change. He told me the only way he can feel okay with this is if he matches her number. Personally i think that's rather silly. I think his big concern is that he feels inexperienced now (i think that's how i would feel). I told him though, not to think about it too much. Because the more he thinks about it, the more it's going to bother him. And i told him that 10 years down the line, assuming they are still together, i don't want something like this popping into his mind every few months causing fights/doubts. Those guys obviously meant little/nothing to her, because they are no longer in her life. She had the chance to stay in the UK (she got a good job offer there), but instead she chose to come back here so she can see him/be with him.

Yeah that's the first thing i told him. I told him that he can't be mad at her for seeing other people, when he told her to do so. He told me that he didn't expect her to go "crazy" like she did, because sex never meant that much to her. "For someone that isn't a 'very sexual person' she kind of didn't act like it". I thought at first that maybe it was just her "growing up", but she left for the UK when she was just about to turn 23. It's not like 23 is a life changing age. Like... i'm really at a loss. I don't know how i would feel if i was in his shoes, but your post is really something to think about and to consider. It makes a lot of sense.

Were you using t90 or t80 weapons? I went with the Death Lotus/Karil combo, and to be honest, i was not having a very easy time. Most of the time the next King would spawn about 2 or 3 attacks before i managed to kill the previous one. I couldn't rely on SS as main healing because i kept getting hit in the 1000's, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. I felt like the damage i was doing wasn't enough to provide decent healing. After an hour i had already emptied my entire yak, and was relying on Shark drops. My ability bars are as suggested. I was even in a low populated world at the time (~200 people). Also, in the hour and a half trip i did, i managed to only kill 96 Kings. So i think either i'm doing something extremely wrong, or my weapons are duds.

So 2 days ago... I got a call from a one of my oldest friends in Qatar. He was one of the first people i met, and he actually met his girlfriend through me. Her and i had a fling for a while, but it never worked out. She's from the UK. Now about 3 years ago she went away to the UK for Uni. She came back about every 6 months for a few weeks. They saw each other then, but they agreed that while they were apart they were open to see other people. She was still a virgin when they met (i think), and was very really much of a sexual person. But when he called me, he sounded...heartbroken. Which i found very odd because generally nothing gets him down. But anyway, he started telling me how the two of them were at his house. They opened a bottle of wine and started talking. He started asking her about the past 3 years she was away in the UK (they're kind of back together now, as she's been back in town for about 3 or 4 months). After about a bottle and a half he asked her how many guys she had been with while she was away. He said that the answer kind of shocked him. He never expected this from her. Before she gave him an answer she tried to explain that most of it was meaningless and only really happened because she was alone and/or lonely. But the magic number was 12. He said that while she had been gone he's been with 5 other girls (which i know is a lie, he's only been with 3 but i didn't feel like it was a good idea to call him out on it). So anyway, he told me that he feels a bit weird now. He's not sure how to proceed with her. He says he still loves her (they've known each other for just short of 6 years now i think), and i think they really loved each other a lot. But i know her, she doesn't do well when she's on her own. I think that's why i never wanted a relationship with her. His job includes quite a bit of traveling and he fears that those lonely feelings will return if he has to be away from home for a week or two. And he said his biggest problem was the fact that she always said sex doesn't matter to her, but her track record shows the opposite. He said a few other things that i can't seem to remember now. But generally he sounded very upset about this. He said the one thing he always loved about her was her innocence, and now she seems tainted. He didn't ask for my advice, or help. He said he just wanted someone to listen. But about an hour ago he sent me a text saying that he's been up all night not able to sleep because of what he knows now. I told him to take a sleeping pill or something, and just sleep and we can hash it out tomorrow (or later, rather). I'm not really sure what to tell him though. On the one hand he has to realise that she's with him (kind of) now. Not because she has to be, but because she wants to be. If she says the other guys were meaningless and she just felt lonely and/or alone, then i guess that's that. We all have different ways of dealing with our pain. But i'm not sure what else there is to say. Now i know i'll get a few "Tell him to grow up and get over it" relies, but try put yourself in his shoes first. How would you react? What would you do? How would you proceed?

So i assume buying keys and just doing the bosses is a better idea...
