The fact that a ton of the folks from this game are now working on Pillars of Eternity, gives me some hope that my KS money won't go to waste.

Ja the youtube videos aren't in jeopardy :D

i'd thought about just not playing this season because I suddenly didn't like playing that much, but it turns out I'm reasonably sure that's just because I'm burnt out on playing medic lol.

I will play soldier for your CEVO/ESEA (if it ends up happening?) team either or is fine by me, roamer or pocket. Don't expect great things.

Pretty much immediately thought of this

(the girl has shown up to welcome her love home from WW 2, but the train containing the soldiers has left, and he won't be getting off - many Russians didn't even know that their loved ones had died in WW 2 until they simply didn't come home).

Smaka is correct that tips are to be reported as taxable income, and comedically enough, if you do choose to skimp on reporting your tips in taxes, your employer still withholds a "rough guess" at how much you made in tips - it's some generalized number that's probably specific from state to state for persons who receive tips, so you may be screwing yourself into paying taxes on income you didn't earn - for most people roughly in the appropriate age group for this forum that's not particularly important because they wouldn't be paying taxes anyway - if you're making under 20k per year you'd just get (all that was withheld) it all refunded anyhow. You're also doubly screwing yourself should you become disabled or require social security at some point whilst still being a server because your benefit payouts will be lower.

I've literally never had a pizza delivered or any other kind of food. Cooking is fun.

But when I do go to restaurants I tend to leave very large tips because people tend to remember you and treat you better. There's a particular Chinese place in town here for example - nothing special. The majority of people leave about 2$ as the tip - it's a buffet with a grill on Friday nights, 2$ seems reasonable since your service comes down to picking up plates and drink refills, but I've always made it a point to pay 7-10$ in tips for myself and my son. As a result, when we go to this place (it's my boy's favorite) we get basically whatever we want. They even gave us a REALLY nice set of chopsticks in a polished wooden case, and around Christmas (the owner knows my politics) gave me a lighter with Mao's face on it (I like memorabilia like that despite my distaste of Mao).

I also get free drinks at this one Mexican restaurant whenever I've brought a date lol. I don't know the owner, it's simply gratitude for paying them well over the last several years (I go about once every 2 months) - such is small town living. Plus I think it always makes a good impression (on a date) when the wait staff know your name and treat you like a friend. It makes the whole "I'm going somewhere alone with this guy" a lot easier.

yes

Hey folks,

I'm looking for somebody to help me out. If you're the artistic type and you want to produce some nice channel art for my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MediMarx let me know. I'd be more than happy to compensate you in some way (although monetary compensation probably isn't in the cards unless you produce something magnificent).

I've recently been trying to organize and sex up my channel and content in general given how many subs I've suddenly gotten, and some sort of banner and associated stuff would be a part of that.

No obligations, if worst comes to worst I'll produce something very post modern in paint. Feel free to contact me on steam if you're interested.

If a League's success was determined by how many new players go there, we'd all have joined UGC ;)

Yeah

I had GOD AWFUL FPS problems a few weeks ago, so I theorized that perhaps some part of chris' FPS config was now out moded and breaking things, so I just removed the whole thing from my auto exec and manually turned everything down - my FPS still gets more jittery than it used to, but it's generally much better.

Also new video about point cappery :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X84EZycOpO8&feature=youtu.be

Also a walk over of the first 5 mids from an esea match using my rough mid-strat system - showing how it works, doesn't work, and the degree to which it is used/followed is rendering and will be up soon.

I don't think I'll be doing coalplant since it was voted out of ESEA - it has a few nuances that are different from Viaduct so maybe I could do a small talk about it, but in general, I don't think it'll be needed - since only UGC and CEVO will have it for an additional season and then it will be gone forever most likely :(.

The key to coalplant is to stay aggressive - even if it means you have to pop uber *into* the other team when holding the point, spawns are so bad on the map you'll still be ok.

I meant the NSA reading my emails - my representative is a tea partier so I wouldn't bother sending her anything since even the Republican establishment here dislikes her lol.
