So who's at home "sick" today?

Debated staying home sick today but didn't think diablo would arrive until mid afternoon. Right as I walked into the office I got the email from my building that the fedex package arrived. I will most surely be "sick" in the upcoming days.

M&A deals can wait while I level up my Barb.

Anyone else following suit?

So many nerds here, lets start a WSO guild? Are their guilds in D3?

We should definitely look into this, just like a few of us did on Heroes of Newerth hahahaha.

Whoa whoa whoa.... you guys had a group on HoN... and I wasn't informed? Fuck.

I jumped ship to LoL - like the game so much more even though I played HoN for like 2 or 3 years, anyone on that? And why don't we just start a group on WSO for us "nerds"

 

My sick leave starts friday to monday. Doctor's my best mate...sadly he's on call all weekend. Poor bastard. g/f's a total D&D nerd too so it's gonna be a pretty awesome weekend.

Between this and the Game of Thrones thread, WSO is full of nerds.

You do realize Game of Thrones is really popular among "average" people, right?

Of course I do. We do have a reasonable amount of book readers on the site though. Changes things somewhat.

Do what I did... my an alienware m17x. Yes... I know they're overpriced and it makes more sense just to build a pc. However, I don't plan on being in NYC for long and would much rather have the laptop for the time being. cost around 2.5k after the upgrades and runs everything great, BF3 on ultra, highest settings on LOL and D3

Definitely would recommend building a PC instead for other people...you can build a really solid one for $500 bucks, which imo is worth it vs. $2.5k laptop.

Build a computer? I used to do it in High School... but by college I learned that girls weren't really impressed with my C++ or being able to upgrade RAM. So I just that like a bad habit.

I still haven't touched Skyrim or Red Dead Redemption yet for my xbox, so I'll probably wait on Diablo until i get an ultrabook later in the summer.

Skyrim was a bit overrated in my opinion, and I'm a diehard TES fan.

But, my advice to you of the day: disregard females, acquire leet gamer skills.

Hmm... The last RPGs I played were Knights of the Old Republic, Baldur's Gate 2 (favorite game ever) and Diablo 2. So should I even bother opening up the shrink wrap on Skyrim?

Yeahhhh...have you had sex before? Even mediocre sex > finishing #1 in Call of Duty. Actually: Good Sex > Mediocre Sex > Seared Foie Gras > Perfectly Made Martini > Bad Sex > Best Gaming Moment

In case you didn't get the memo, I'm female...

I would still open the shrink wrap on Skyrim, especially since the DLC is looking promising. It's worth it for the environment and lore alone...it's just not as "replayable" as Oblivion/Morrowind, imo.

Not sure what you're getting at. So are you saying females don't enjoy sex as much as video games? My head is about to explode.

I'm getting at it was a joke, based around http://tinyurl.com/72b34fa

And truthfully, I would absolutely take video games over mediocre sex...but not anything above mediocre.
