I don't think pre-arranged marriages are quite as bad as they're made out to be (you might not be with your ideal partner, but they tend to work out, although that's largely just because the taboo against divorce means the couple has to make things work), but obviously being forced to marry...

I did my 10th grade author project on Vonnegut, and of everything I read, I also especially enjoyed his short stories in Welcome to the Monkey House. I actually ended up doing a philosophical analysis of one of them, "Unready to Wear" (about being able to change bodies as if they're clothes) for...

I also like this suggestion. For newer players or players who have been away from the game for a while, it's good to now how up-to-date an analysis is, especially for metagame-specific issues like leads (although I think the analyses were generally supposed to avoid being specific to counter a...

Yay, we've joined the alliance now :) I am looking forward to this, although I'm not sure how much I'll be able to play (also, is not having a mic going to be problematic?)

I don't think Hindi would give you optimal "coverage" with English, mainly because English is very commonly taught in schools in India (having been a British colony and what not, the British school system is still predominant). I think a significant proportion of schools in India teach English...

Oh nice, I didn't know the update was coming Thursday :) The sealed deck and all that other stuff they had planned will still be a while though, right? edit: Yeah, I meant "great" as in "great for me." For future reference, in case I end up actually finding time in college to play Guild Wars -...

I have some experience with HA (I'm r5, but that's almost entirely from randomway) but very little GvG... I'm really interested in getting more into GvG, but I've shyed away from joining a GvG guild (although Team Love sounds really great) since I don't have a consistent/reliable schedule and...

It was great "playing" with you guys! TAY and I confirmed that our guild hall does feature lovely smoggy purple miasma :)

I would definitely also be interested in a Smogon guild. Anyone up for creating it? I also would really love to GvG - I've only played a few games, and they were pretty much all random games with rather stereotypical PvEers who bring skills like Mending and Rebirth! My brother and I used to do a...

Does your school have some kind of intro engineering class? My brother's doing computer science at USC, and I know they had a class where you learn a little bit about all the different engineering subfields. Depending on the school, you can probably take lower division classes and get your feet...

Yeah, he has a steam account so they have the option of giving a gift through steam. Money isn't too big of an issue as far as the games go - I have my parents' support, and he rarely asks for anything so I'm sure if we decide he'll really enjoy a game we'll just go ahead and buy it. I'll look...

I've been playing TF2 since around the beginning of summer, and it's a lot of fun even though I'm still really bad at the game! I've played mostly Medic and Demoman, although now I play a bit of just about every class (I rarely play Heavy though, and although I play Sniper I generally get...

I played for a while, both PvE and PvE, but I haven't played since around January (more because I got lost in schoolwork, found TF2, and don't feel like waiting for hours to reinstall GW after having reinstalled Windows on my computer than because it isn't a great game). If anyone else here...

Thanks for the suggestions! I still have quite a bit of time (around a month) to decide, but I'll keep all those games in mind :) A few questions about Civilization IV's multiplayer (since I'd like to be able to play with him; I'm afraid I'd probably end up playing it more than him): Do you...

My other 2 IB courses were junior year (Spanish and Physics SL), which I didn't include. In addition to ToK that everyone must take, Philosophy is an additional IB course that falls into the "whatever" category. My school puts them together (we do both ToK and Philosophy in the same class, but...

My brother's turning 21 this September, and he's really into games and headed toward the gaming industry, but he hasn't told me any specific games he'd like. I was hoping you guys could recommend some good games based on what I know he likes: He likes games with a lot of strategy/thinking -...

I'm kind of late, but whatever. I graduated high school with IB (I thought it was a total waste of time [and a whole lot of money!], pretty much only good for putting on college applications, although I suppose because I'm getting units from IB as well as AP I'm almost at junior standing now and...

So I applied to colleges (UCs, USC, Caltech, and Stanford) last year so hopefully I can help a bit, although writing isn't my strongest area. Quite a few people mentioned fabrications. Whether or not you tell the truth in the personal statement is up to you, but I think it'll be a lot easier to...
