The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I've studied martial arts in the past and I have a couple friends who study varius martial arts, one of whom has participated in local MMA events in the past. I don't follow it, I wouldn't say I'm a 'fan', but yeah. I've enjoyed watching what bits and pieces have been recommended to me.
Passer! My school has a bunch of martial arts programs, is there any type you would recommend out of Capoeira, No-Gi Jiu Jitsu, Hoshinjutsu, Muay Thai or this Russian course that focuses on former SPETSNAZ self-defense techniques?

I thought Russian martial arts beating the other guy with a sock full of sand then stuffing snow down his throat until he suffocates.
I never have a thief with me so i miss out on every chest
I hope I'm not skipping on tons of sweet lewts
I preferred the neverwinter nights way
get my henchman to try to open it, laugh as his face is dissolved in acid or as he's run through by spikes or a thousand other horrible things, then just break the chest
I'm trying to play it moderately. Right now I sit at home and I go on the computer and post in [chat] and message people on MSN and my brain just freaks the fuck out. I really need a distraction from my own insanity.
I thought the MMA was a thinly veiled neo nazi organization
Mixed Master-Race Arts
Sometimes... somtimes it does seem that way. Bunch of shaved-head caucasian fellows fighting and hugging (at the same time); sometimes seems like a race to see who can beat up what few brown guys there are. And brown UFC fighters who succeed are usually widely hated. Huh...
That said, apparently my 'long-lost' half-sister is a semi-successful female MMA fighter.

No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is nice, not having a gi restricting your movement, but it can be awkward inviting guests to your dojo.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

See, I don't even know what a gi is, and I'm fat and out of shape with bad joints, so I'm hella nervous.
When our options are a super-shitty tax cut and a mildly good unemployment extension or nothing, I expect an effective party to choose the "nothing."
Whatever happened to "first, do no harm?"
Yeah, fucking around with unemployment extensions doesn't qualify as "do no harm".
$10 trillion in tax cuts for $55 billion in unemployment extensions isn't a good deal.
Plus, if they did the unemployment extensions on their own, the Repugs would probably vote for it.
Thats how these things work. Did you really think it was going to get through without something we didn't like attached to it? And 10 trillion is a high ball.
"probably" isn't acceptable here. No unemployment extension is seriously bad. Given the GOPs track record the last two years do you really think it would be safe to risk our last couple weeks trying to get a perfect bill and possibly get nothing?
yes
Absolutely, no question in my mind whatsoever.
Ten trillion dollars in the worst possible sort of stimulus that we're going to be paying off for the rest of our lives, in exchange for a piddling amount? Nothing is so much better than that.

he's joking
Gi is your classic martial-art type outfit
Capoeira is only good if you like to dance, I think
if you just want self-defense and nothing fancy SPETSNAZ might be your thing
So when the unemployment extension then fails because the GOP blocked it just like everything else and the economy melts down again it can be the Dems fault too for playing games with something so important.

I only ever did Aikido. Capoeira looks like it would be fun, Muay Thai is pretty fuckin' hard core so you might want to avoid it.

As I've never heard of Hoshinjutsu, and going by your self-description, I'm gonna recommend Jiu Jitsu. I studied Tae Kwon Do for about five years ( ending 12 years ago), and I wouldn't suggest it for a guy who describes himself as you do. If you're interested in eventually fighting as a hobby, I'd recommend moving on to Muay Thai after a couple years of Jiu Jitsu and some working out.

The dumbest thing in DA:O was that I started off as a rogue, so I already had a point in lockpick
At the very beginning you get to choose to put another point into any feat
I'm like hey, I already got one in lockpick so I probably won't need another in there for a little bit, I'll put it in poison or something
I wasn't able to pick a single lock in the very first dungeon with the lockpicking skill a fucking rogue starts with
So fucking dumb
Yeah that's pretty silly. Also like 70% of all chests are locked - no exaggeration.
Another stupid thing is that there are virtually NO god damned healing potions in this game. I delayed my pick up of Wynne and despite giving Morrigan some healing spells the game was almost impossible.

I tried for over a month to do the BC+WotLK+cata preorder thing to no avail after trying three different debit cards, one of which belonged to someone who banked with a different bank and two different credit cards. Blizzard's CS basically told me over the phone that battle.net uses a different billing system then the subscription fees and it just doesn't work for some people.
Eventually I managed to get BC through the blizzard.com store but WotLK actually required me having someone else order a physical copy off battle.net at the last second so I could get in on the discount deal. Cata I had to get from Best Buy.
Basically what i'm saying is fuck the battle.net store.

Original: 'And never do harm to anyone'
Classic: 'I will keep them from harm'
It's only the modern version which doesn't mention 'do no harm' in some direct fashion. At least according to Wikipedia.
