    Actually, now that I think about it, it was computer gaming that really messed with my reading. I had gamed a lot as a child, then during high school and early undergrad I didn't really at all outside of arcades or internet cafes. Then when I did the bar/post grad/working I could afford a series of gaming computers or consoles and then WOW came along...Quitting that in 07 really got me back into reading

    I used to burn through novels as a youngun. College and the Internet kind of beat reading out of me, though.

    Reading was really a Pre-Youtubian activity.

    The ironic part, of course, is that we are all reading right now, an incredible amount even.

    We just aren't reading books (or, often, anything of value really).

    Clearly the onus is on you to make your posts more valuable.

    Or do you like wasting our time?

    When you beat the D3 demo you went to a room with the diablo logo and then suddenly a double rainbow arced across the background.

    Then a constant swarm of meteors pummeled you until you died.

    I watched the gameplay panel last night

    Leitner how much do you know about dyslexia?

    I'm not an educational pyschologist if that's what you're asking. But given I was diagnosed by such, and researched it fairly heavily to get a laymans appreciation I feel comfortable talking in 'probables'.

    WoW has plenty of reading in it, winky

    It used to be a running joke in my guild that I'd wipe a group because I'd stopped to read a plaque/book/inscription in an instance

    Used to be a running joke for me to just get distracted and stop healing while I looked at something shiny thereby wiping the group.

    Or rather just wiping everyone but the tank and myself.

    I was usually the tank, so my response to the group usually was - why did you charge in and start DPSing when the tank was no where to be seen?

    Mine was always "well that's stupid - why were you outaggroing the tank? not my fault you died"

    I disagree. It's a nethack clone, infused with awesome, and with the over-the top randomness toned down a little bit.

    I have played Diablo 1 and 2 and I have to say that neither really floats my boat. The combat is repetitive and boring. Hell that is why I have never finished Torchlight. A man can only click so long before he gets bored. The multiplayer also held 0 interest to me. And some of the stories between hackers and such makes me even less interested.

    I am actually kind of looking forward to Dungeon Siege 3 a bit more because 1 was a lot of fun and I use to make fun of my EQ friend calling it EQ the single player game. Mostly because of how many sparkly graphics my sword had.

    I wonder who came up with the logo for the ninja turtles

    or do the turtles themselves know graphic design

    I suppose it's not much of a stretch to say that michelangelo, et al. probably went to art school

    In the UK that would be called a CV. In the US resume seems to be used as the term for the same thing.

    Renaissance art and modern graphic design are not really related. Also, a turtle in school? o_O

    oh, by the way, I came up with a way to remember how to spell renaissance: one n because nascor has one and re has none (the original root words), two Ss because the c was converted, and an I because French is weird

    yay rivs! also check out post 1207

    That's a resume, then. CV's are mostly for when you've done a lot of shit and write down everything with your name on it. Mostly just for professors and people trying to be professors with, like, 9 pages of published works citations and research and shit.

    Do you want it to be kind of fancy, or are you just aiming for [__]-monkey work where the effort isn't warranted?
