Mmmm... fresh meat! Welcome, mate!

Seems way too much like UO to me. Graphics are decent though. Personally, I've had my fill of the MMO scene for awhile. I just want to get my hands on Hellgate: London and then I'll be happy with HG:L and BF2142 for awhile.

Don't forget the 5 foot blade length...

So what's the bonus if you D/L it from EA? Besides maybe getting it early?

Welcome, mate. Hope you have fun here and see you in-game.

LOL! So true... I swear he must have Jeffrey Dalmer genes or something... Maybe a bit of Jason blood mixed in...

LoL! Does that mean Bobby is... chicken? and KFC no less...

Well, my wife is the one that's big on the declawing thing. I've never really dealt with it since most of my cats (growing up) were inside/outside cats. All of her cats have always been inside-only cats. I wasn't about to argue with her on the issue, I knew better. But Spritzy seems just fine after she recovered from the operation. She's still loves to fight. We played for a bit this morning actually. :thumbsup:

I believe that's how my kitten was declawed. Recovery time didn't take long, just so until the openings where the claws were healed. Our cats have always been indoor cats. They knew not to go outside and don't try to. My kitten will wait near the door for you to come in (if you're outside) but she's never once tried to go out the door. Some of you make it sound like it wrong to do this. And in your eyes, it may be. But my kitten is still as playful as ever and she loves to "fight" with me when we play. My daughter will be taught how to play with our cat (we no longer have the two older cats since they passed). But, I still say it's a matter of personal opinion.

I did a quick search on the Net and found some. I won't say where though. But as Shotty stated, it won't be long before PB gets updated to filter these out and ban people for them.

All of our cats were/are declawed. My wife had her two cats declawed long before we met and they seemed fine as well. Our recent addition was a kitten that my wife got me for a birthday gift. We had her declawed when the vet said was the appropriate age. She was also fixed at the same time. As for personality changes, she didn't really change. She's as vibrant and energetic as always. Recovery was a small issue since we had to constantly monitor the kitten to make sure she didn't pull out her stitches. But it never became an issue. She still tries to claw things with her front paws so that behavior is still there regardless of the claws no longer present. As for the protectors, claws continue to grow and "shed" so you'd be constantly putting new ones on, I would think. I believe, it really comes down to a personal stance on this issue. If it's concerns about changes in behavior, it there is a change, as far as I've seen it's only been a slight change until they got used to not having front claws.

Even if anyone did know, I don't think the clan looks too highly upon cheating in any form.

It's pretty original if you ask me. I've been part of sooo many forums and most (if not all) use just plain numeric post counts. To see the BF ranks as part of a BF clan forum is really cool. Now I just need to find a way to rank up without spamming... LoL!

Wow, does he suck so bad that he has to use a cheat to win? Even then, I noticed he still can get his butt handed to him... GG cheaters, they probably suck at life too..

Fortunately, my wife knew this when we started dating. She understood that I was a gamer and accepted that. Before the baby came along, she let me play whenever I wanted for however long I wanted. She knew that I was responsible and I knew when to stop playing. When we got married, her stance didn't change. I spent time with her and then we both got our "me" time. With the baby her, I have to split my time 3 ways instead of 2. There was a little friction at first during the baby's first month but we worked it out. I'd go with Di's approach. Tell her that she uses riding as her form of entertainment, you use gaming. Everyone has their own ways to relax and they aren't always the same. If she tries to pull that bull about not understanding, it's for kids, etc, then tell her that if she truly does love you then she'll let you have your relaxation time and let you use it however you want. It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand it, she doesn't have to. She just needs to accept that it's part of who you are. If she doesn't accept that you have your own way of relaxing, then let her go. It's not worth arguing about. If you plan on getting married, then you need to find someone that is willing to accept who you are and what you do for fun. That's what I did and it's worked out great so far.

Sad for anyone to have to attend a funeral, especially for a loved one. I usually tell myself that at least they aren't suffering anymore. It seems to help somewhat. My stepmom's getting worse every week. I'm not looking forward to dealing with what you are going through. Hopefully everyone will be cordial over there and things don't get out of hand. Have a safe trip.

I think I read on that posted thread from the EA guy that bug fixes will continue to come out. My guess is that if it's a major bug change which affects gameplay, they are putting it in the booster? Dunno, but I'm with Sharp on what for more details. Although, I'll probably still get it just for some extra flavor in my gameplaying.

Glad you like it here, so do I.

Someone asked for a poll on who is doing what with the upcoming booster for BF2142.

Welcome! Hope you enjoy the servers!

Heh, I got bored with WoW last year. Beat Ragnaros into a fiery pulp, beat Nefarian like a red-headed stepchild, and did most of the AQ content. I was one sweet, horde-smacking, leet healing Priest. Had 3 L60's and way too many other alts. Wanted something with more fast-paced action instead of the 5+ hour raid sessions. Man, those things are grueling... Don't know ya, but glad to see you're still around.

Sorry to hear that mate, my prayers are with you. I know how rough going through something like that is. I just found out this past week that my stepmom's being given 4 months at best in her fight with cancer. We don't expect her to make it through March. Seems like the beginning of '07 is off to a rocky start for quite a few people...

Everybody's leaving? That's news to me... I'm still here... although I'm not a member... :thumbsup:

Yep, you need to have the best kill streak on the server for that round to get 1 point in Best Kill Streak. :thumbsup:

Not all that glorious of a job, but it pays the bills. Plus, I prefer 8 to 5 jobs so I can have nights and weekends to myself. Hehe.
