As the title states, I'm looking for the Red Son pack and the DC52 pack of skins. I have an unused Season Pass code that includes the Flashpoint skins and access to the four upcoming characters. Send me a PM...
In all honesty, building a PC is not difficult. If you know how to use a screwdriver and can follow directions, you're good to go. Building a PC as oppossed to buying a pre-built is gonna save you money and give the option of being upgradeable down the road. A lot of pre-built computers aren't able to be fully upgradeable, as they build them that way. On the flipside, buying a pre-built gaming computer is gonna run you a lot. I built a gaming PC for about $850, and it's able to run all newer games at high settings with ease, plus I can tinker with it as the years go by.
Go to newegg.com. There are a lot of resources available for choosing components, and they are just a good company to buy from. I'm also extremely computer illiterate, but ounce I started, the knowledge started building on itself. I now know about 500% more about computers and components then when I started.

Check these videos out, and if you still don't think you can build one yourself... well I don't know what to say. Believe me, it's WELL worth the effort. There is much more pride in what you've accomplished, and you will actually know what all those high-end components you invested in can do!
edit= there should be a period ending the sentence before "my family". It doesn't make any sense!:oops:
Just out of curiosity, and I want to emphasize that I mean no offense, did you feel pressured as a heterosexual? I guess what I'm asking is do you think that being in that situation could influence someones sexuality since they are confronted with it at such an early and impressionable age.PenguinchowFrom my experience-- absolutely not. Also, non of my friends turned out to be gay.
I would say that in an opposite-sex family the pressure would be more harsh-- a lot of parents wouldn't want their children to be gay In my family, and the families I was around, there was no pressure for EITHER outcome, gay or straight). My wife feels very comfortable around my moms, (ironically, her family is uber-christian, not very tolerant of such things, however, my family is very accepting of THEIR lifestyle. Food for thought).
Actually, I've only seen the movies, they were decent-- but I think this is a BRILLIANT idea! The universe certainly lends itself well to the MMO genre, (being a series of large schools and all), and if they could get spell casting down-- I would TOTALLY play it!
I only skimmed this thread, but I was suprised to see no one pipped up that was a child of a same-sex couple. I am the son of two mothers, and I feel like I've turned out ok. I feel like i'm balanced in all aspects of life.
I'm now married and have a beautiful daughter of my own, and feel like I'm a pretty gosh-darned good dad. I have a success freelance art career. My wife is very happy. If anything, I feel I might have gained a level of sensitivity a lot of men wouldn't with opposite-sex parents.
As a side note, since my mothers are lesbians, I have grown up around A LOT of other gay couples, (male and female), and children of gay couples. A lot of my best life-long friends are of same-sex parents. They all seem to be pretty well-rounded as well. I would venture to say that having same-sex parents has ZERO negative influence on budding children.
