He puts caffeine rich chocolates in gas stations, targeting adults.
Drugs are fun.
Also, Elhonna, referring to your signature: D&D is far better than WoW.

Thanks MyTie
We actually did try an "energy" blend on the fudge, that we were thinking about marketing to gas stations and truck stops (we were thinking more in terms of truck drivers and other people who needed to stay awake long hours than of young adults). We tried Taurine and Caffeine, and the taste was awful. We might try with just the caffeine some time, but that project was abandoned for now.

I'm not a chocolate kind of person. I'm a numbers guy. $100,000 a month is $1,200,000 a year. That's a breathtaking amount of money.
Whatever you decide, I hope it works out for you!

So I was reading a clothing tips column, and one of the comments ended with: "And if you're going to wear it, MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO STAINS. No need to look messy."
I don't even.

Believe it or not, wearing stained clothing is a pretty common practice among teenage and twenty-something/thirty-something men. It was for me until I gave myself a little bit of an overhaul in the appearance department. Now, if something is stained, it becomes an undershirt automatically. If it was a button-down or a polo or something like that, I stop wearing it.

So, EQ2, LotRO or no MMO? Also, are there any synonyms for swimming other than natate?
By the way, gameFAQs doesn't have a PM system either!

EQ2- I never made it to max level, but I logged on so many hours decorating it wasn't funny- lol.
@Sag- I agree that D&D is a lot of fun. I actually got that from a pin I bought at a gaming convention. I bought it because all of us old school gamers who grew up on the pen and paper stuff have had a turn or two at trying to explain to a younger gamer, who only ever played video games, what D&D was. We thought it was funny.

D&D is actually really fun. A lot more than WoW, imo.

Way more expensive to get into. $55 to get MoP + two months subscription vs. $115 for the core rules set.
Also, is it just me, or does the ASP comic have a genitalia monster in it today?

Did it cost that much for D&D when it was new?

The D&D books were always at least 20 bucks a pop (2nd ed, when I was a kid), and you only really needed 2 to get started, plus some dice, but to have the full set of extra rules, classes, monsters, races, items, etc. you needed like 30-40 books (maybe more). All at 20 bucks a pop.
Now I think they're closer to 30, and they change editions every couple of years and ask you to buy books all over if you want to play the latest edition. I would elect to stay with 2nd edition, and just finish my set. I have like 20 books from it.

Since you can get a diceroller app for free on most smartphones nowadays, that'll take off at least 5-10$ from the overall price.

May save money...but takes away from the spirit of the game.

Meh, personal preference. I'd honestly rather use the app than actual dice. Saves time, money, and makes one less thing I have to carry. Sure, you don't quite get the suspense of waiting to see the dice stop on an important roll, but oh well. Makes for more efficient play.

I like my dice though. Steampunk ^^

So if someone were to already have the stuff for D&D, would it cost anything to join them? Cause there's a little gaming shop in the town next to me and they might play it, I know they play Magic and several other games.
Wouldn't mind playing it at some point.
Also evening interest.

I never played LotRO. EQ2 is played two toons to max level. The gameplay is much more varied, and character customization is much more varied. The game leaves off pvp almost entirely, and instead focuses on pve.
There are more classes, and more variation in between the classes. For instance, there are two classes that focus entirely on preventative healing. One of my mains was a preventative healer, and my party never ducked below 100% health, even when raiding, but I had to learn to juggle wards. Another one of my mains was a coercer, which is like a... well... I don't even know what it would be in WoW. It's this kind of ultra powerful warlock, beastlord, thing. The character can mez and possess any number of creatures. It can solo uber powerful things, but timing and technique have to be perfect. The saying is, that watching a coercer solo is kind of like watching someone juggle chain saws, and that is very accurate.
That's just two examples. The classes are much more... unique... from eachother, instead of having druids, palis, priests, and shamans, all kind of heal sort of the same.... no class has much of anything that resembles the next. You are much more apt to find a really special "niche" to your specialized style of gameplay.
Plus there are much more extras. There are more involved tradeskills, with guild tradeskills, collectibles (which I don't even know how to describe), individually owned houses, decorating, individual guild halls, much different graphics, more varied mounts.
It's just a much different game than WoW. Some people like it better, some don't. I have found the customer service to be somewhat better, but the game is less "streamlined". It's less mainstream, so gets less polish. Don't expect to be spoon fed, like WoW does, nor coddled by the gameplay.
Like I said, PVP is almost non existent. I once dueled with my Defiler against a Shadowknight. The SK put out huge amounts of damage, but had no healing ability, and I put out huge amounts of healing, with tiny, almost non existent amounts of DPS. I was able to outheal his DPS, but barely, especially when he got his once every 10 minute harmtouch. I was able to canabilze myself, to keep my mana up, and still outheal his DPS, but I could only harm him through a really really wimpy damage shield. The duel took well over an hour. Finally, my damage shield whittled away his health. Like I said, don't go there for PVP.
