  1. Have you ever envied "those people"? You know who I'm talking about. They Game Stop Game Advisers. A job where you sit in an air conditioned store all day and work, talk, and handle video games seems like a dream come true....if you are 5. None the less, you can put your childhood ambitions to rest as Game Stop placed 10th on 24/7 Wall Street's Worse American Companies To Work For , along with such names as Radio Shack, Dish Network, and Riteaid, to name a few. The complete list can be found here. http://24/7 Wall Str...es to work for It seems the main complaint was the pushing of sales, namely pre-orders, over customer service. With the option to download hit video games at reduced prices via Steam or shopping for better deals via Amazon, you can see how increase sells are becoming increasingly important to Game Stop.I myself can relate to this. After turning down the particularly chubby senior game adviser, who asked me about 3 different upcoming games I might want to pre-order, I saw a tear roll down his supple cheeks. And I knew that he would be whipped severely and his equally pudgy children wouldn't eat tonight. Another common complaint was the store's buy back policy on games. Not only are they a bit unfair to the consumer, but even unfair to their own employees. All in all, with better deals and more convenient options elsewhere, I'm afraid Game Stop represents what Blockbuster did for movie rentals: increasingly obsolete. Only time will tell if it'll eventually follow the same path.Click here to view the article

  3. I had no idea Funorb was still around, lol.Or maybe they'll give us a free membership to their hit new MMO Mechscape/StellarDawn!!!!
  4. Life time of ridicule in real life for a life time of Runescape.These are the questions that keep me up at night.

    My hands hurt now.
  6. I usually just flush them down the toilet. You can try restoring the system to before you started having trouble. Not sure if this fixes it or not as my anti virus usually shoots down threats prior to being infected.
  7. For example, you could have the larceny target items and the "elf blood" bit in a bullet-ed list.Really good guide though. You covered a lot in a relatively short article.
  8. I guess July is usually a big month in gaming sales?I'm surprised Just Dance was on the list. That game is fairly old.
  9. I speed-run play through guide to Skyrim would be pretty cool. :oNice collection of glitches though.
  10. A bug abuse that made the rich richer. I second that.
  11. 40k Crafting. 40k Fishing. 10k Construction. 10k Thieving. And if you do the quest before August 21st, you get double the xp. So I guess it is actually 200k.And although this quest is skiller friendly, you need to do Cold War to do this one, which requires you to kill several level 51 NPC's.
  12. As much as I enjoy the penguin quests, this one was a bit bland.Can't argue with 150k xp though.
  13. I mean, there is probably a console command to level up, though I'm not versed in console commands myself. Not sure if this will fix it though.
  14. When I watched 300 for the first time like a week ago, I thought of pretty much exactly this: the Fus-ing off of the cliff, The Immortals with Dragon Priest Mask, etc.I'm pleased to see how similar it is to the movie, though some parts are too close up and hard to make out.EDIT: HE DIDN'T MAKE XERXES BLEED!!!!
  15. Best of luck. Hope the food will last you.

    I think the end result is more important than their method/reason. Alduin wants to kill everybody. Mercer wants to get rich.
  17. The future of blow up dolls.
  18. If you go to the Markarth Keep, the place where the Jarl resides, you'll find a Thalmor Justicar that wants you to search a guy's house for proof of Talos worshipping. This is the only quest I can think of that has an Amulet of Talos as a quest item.
  19. Gone for 4-5 days. Miss all of this, 7 new topics, 35 notifications, and more. A little bit surprised at TDKR's popularity. Just because I wasn't expecting it though. A plot holes and general discussion article on such a popular movie was really a good move and I kind of hate that I can't read it yet. Also, OMG THE NEW STUFF@
