Definitely a harem king. :I

More seriously, I've nothing solid set for my future. I enjoy a large field of careers and would quite willingly dedicate time to learning to partake in a profession properly. Above all, I'd like to have a family. By family, I don't necessarily mean a wife and children (although that would be ideal), but more or less people to protect and care for. So long as I have something meaningful in my life that is worth living for, I don't really care what happens to myself, even if I have to become a sacrifice to save the lives of others (real deep, I know).

So yeah. If life were to revolve entirely around the profession one chooses, I'd likely settle on being a theoretical physicist, software designer, neurosurgeon, or something else of that sort. They are all fields that have very far to go that can do great things for this Earth if advanced properly.

PMC/Discussion Looking for a good host

Minecrafted.net will give you the best prices, and for $10 a year you can purchase a domain from Namecheap or Dyndns and hook it up to your server through SRV records (Google it, it's not too complicated.) BeastNode is pretty cheap, and gives you a free website and mumble voice server, but their processors are not powerful at all, I wouldn't load too many plugins on a Beastnode server. Daddycheese has powerful processors, although their prices are a bit high, they're worth looking into if you want to do large world edits and such on your server.

My only issue with Minecrafted and Beastnode would be their SSDs. You have to pay extra to get more than 5GB of space, and my world file has breached 15GB, so I've had to settle for a host with unlimited hard drive space, such as DaddyCheese.

Once again, no one really cares where that rumour started, but it is completely false. The human eye has been proven to see well over 200fps, and we currently have not even begun to define it's limit. Stop doubting the capabilities of the human visual cortex, it's not as pathetic as you'd like to think. Yay for evolution, baby! =)

Note: It's really just a matter of how much you care. You shouldn't need anything past 60fps unless you've honed in your visual skills to notice all the frames flying by at hundreds per second. Although we are far more than capable of seeing these things, it depends upon who cares to notice! Most can play at 20fps and not notice a thing.

Minecraft/Discussion What would you recommend giving Donors/

I'd add plugins relevant to your server in order for your players to enjoy special features and temporary or permanent benefits. Rather than diamond armour or tools, if it isn't going to be enchanted, give him a kit with just straight diamonds every few days. That is far more useful than an unenchanted set of diamond armour. Also, if you have the resources and want to bother, you could give your donators either monthly or permanent access to a flat 'Creative World', in which they can use a restricted form of creative mode to build to their heart's content without having to gather the materials in the normal world(s), which of course in those they'd still interact on a normal level with other players. Monthly access to these types of worlds typically will do best, as permanent access to a creative world will drive the donator away from the rest of the community and eventually destroy the purpose your server most likely holds.

Typically a repost used in order to bump your post up a list is not allowed, however, you may be able to be granted permission by a staff member if they decide your predicament is worthy of a repost. Otherwise, I'd leave it be :/.

Hmmm.... Something about that 'For xXPecuniamXx' just made it absolutely essential that I read that specific spoiler. Maybe I will join one, probably not, but it hasn't quite been factored out yet! Back to sitting around and being worthless for me =).

Heh, well thank you all for the warm welcome at such a late hour. I've already got my server and major pixel arts posted, and I'm working on finishing up my texture pack so that I can get that up and on here too =). Thanks for all of your recommendations and such Neptonic, but unfortunately, I am not exactly a very competitive type. I prefer to sit around and make things that I am hoping people will enjoy. That's about it =).

I saw your prior comments in a few forums, and your utter rejection to the 'Your Mama Jokes' thread... I'm liking you already =P. The only person I really know on this website that still uses it from time is TheQWERTY1, but it's proving true that he has at least a little sense in finding humour in websites like these ^.^

Discussions/General Being Different Than Society
Sojiroe

To be quite honest, ignorance among society is quite common, but that's also quite alright. If there weren't followers, cattle, sheep that played along with the rest of the crowd and everyone was 'different', there would be nothing in this world to make those of us that are different stronger, those of us that leave an impact on the world. It is a natural part of growing up, unfortunately, learning to deal with these things in a mature fashion and dealing with them by your own means. I spent my first few years of public school being humiliated by many groups and individuals for my small size, my interest in MLP:FiM, typically 'Nerdy' or 'Geeky' outlook, and my lack of physical duress. My solutions to these problems didn't rest in self pity, training to be just like them, emotional collapse, becoming suicidal, or even consulting a guidance counselor like a school might recommend. Part of maturing is learning that not everyone in this world will accept you, and they likely never will, and retaliating will only send you further down in the dumps. Disregard their ignorance and hatred, and rather than thinking negatively of them for it, put yourself in their own shoes and try to figure out what their life might be like. How are they treated by their friends, what might their fears and hopes be, joys and miseries, and most importantly, how can you help make them happy? Always be interested in the people around you and make the biggest difference possible, you only have one chance to do so, so don't hang around waiting for your right moments, make your moments. Decide if you love one person or if you want to hop around, decide if you're a sheep or a Shepard, a nerd or a jock. At some point in life, almost all humans reach a point of maturity, it just takes some longer than others. Make the most of them calling you dirty names, see the light in a dark situation, and always remember, the past and future blind you to the present, so burn both with fire and keep trekking onward towards a better today.

Also, just for inspiration, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFWDHwAUnYY. Listen to that if it interests you, and try to lead a good life =).

Discussions/Gaming Which Motherboard should I buy?

I'd say go with the second, but you'd be best off checking benchmarks on the two across the internet and looking into their chip sets, plus considering the bang for buck. I can guarantee better performance out of the second for your purposes, but the first will likely do what you need it to do too. Recording graphic intensive games doesn't require a ridiculous amount of power, just enough, either of those should be enough.

Discussions/Gaming Do you think this is a "High End" gaming pc?

This computer is not exactly high end, but by all means, any game you give it should be perfectly playable. Unless you are addicted to high resolutions and mass frame rates, this is perfectly suitable for anyone who wants to play Minecraft, WoW, any given game on Steam, etc.

Remove the 2 250gb HDDs, if you need more hard drive space, just go for a 3TB or stay at 2TB (Also, check up on the RPM of your hard drive, that can play an important roll in single player games and all over modify your performance. I'd vote at least 5400rpm, but go for 7200rpm), and definitely look into an SSD, they are well worth the investment. Your processor is entirely sufficient, as is your graphics card, for gaming, anything more powerful is likely to just be overkill. Your motherboard is okay, but DO NOT go cheap on your motherboard by any means. It is probably the most vital factor in making a computer suitable for what you want. To finish this section off, 8gb of RAM clocked around at least 1600MHz is perfectly fine for almost anything.

Also, using Windows 7 Ultimate will merit you no benefit in gaming, so unless it is coming free of charge, I'd cut out that bit of the package.

Good luck with that =)
