I'm not so much into this stuff, hope you guys now:If I buy a PC game in the US (or UK), will it run on my pc in the Netherlands? I want to buy the Elder Scrolls Anthology box (all Elder Scrolls games in one) but it's sold out in the Netherlands, with the exception of a shady store. __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek.

PC games generally aren't region locked. Worse comes to worse, you may need to upgrade firmware on your DVD/Blu-Ray drive or patch something a little differently.

Thanks, but I like it old skool. Still have a desktop computer , so it should work I guess.

What kind of desktop PC are you running that doesn't have a DVD or Blu-Ray drive? One of my EverQuest guildies is shipping me a bunch of CompTIA A+ books free of charge! I even only just met the guy too. I might make something of my life yet with this stuff. Also, the main raiding guild on my server split, so my guild is the oldest active guild on the server now we think. The guild leader and I are two of the oldest active Rangers. It's crazy to think that such a huge chunk of life has been spent involved with this game. I started when I was 21, and I'm about to be 35. Yikes. I got into comics in 1992, and Magic in 1995. I really stick to some hobbies I guess.

Thanks. Went to orthopedic surgeon yesterday. Says I have a buckle fracture of the fibula and a torn deltoid ligament on the medial (big toe) side. Says it'll be 6 week until I'm healed then probably some physical therapy. Sigh. __________________ Back in my day you could get a soda for a quarter and an underground sea for a Hamilton.

Shattered my fibula into bits and pieces on a halfpipe (skateboard) when I was 34. They said 6-10 weeks after the surgery to screw it all back together. I smoked back then. So, 6 months later I was able to start physical therapy. I hope you don't smoke and I hope you heal up much faster than I did. Them were frustrating days. If you need an electro-magnetic bone stimulator, I still have mine you can use. It worked great.

I don't even know what an eltro whatyamacallet is. I do not smoke though. My fiance is a doctor and wouldn't allow that :-p I'm hoping it heals quickly too.

That girl's a keeper! They said I wasn't healing and said that smoking was contributing so they prescribed the bone stimulator and then I healed up quick. Hopefully you won't need it and heal up quickly, naturally. If you get therapy, work thru it. I put the smokes down and kept playing baseball for many more years but I did lose a step. Still have the hardware in my leg and the bone stimulator. Sold the skateboard.

It's been 6 days..nothing new?Ok, it's actually the first year I haven't been following MLB at all. So can someone tell me, why are the White Sox still bad after a few bad years? What happened to the once-feared Red Sox and why are the Astros in 1st place? Was the NL central really that good or is the AL West that bad? (yay for the Pirates still having a winning record btw) __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek. Let's trade.Lord Flasheart: Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why.

The White Sox are bad because they didn't really assemble a very good team. At least one as good as KC or Detroit. They are worse off than Cleveland IMO, which is a bad place to be.The Red Sox seem to be rebuilding, and they traded a lot of their pitching away. Their farm team is super good though. The Astros have rebuilt their team from scratch, and it looks damn good now. They've done a good job developing their pitching staff, trading, and drafting. The Cubs are going to win the World Series.

That would be an amazing trick. I may be wrong but I think they still have to get to the World Series to win it.

Yea I am a White Sox fan and it is painful to watch them, fundamentals are awful and they can't hit. The real shame is they have a pretty good pitching staff with a cy young level ace in Sale and they are wasting it because they can't score, play defense or even run the bases properly.

They definitely do not seem to be rebuilding. How can that claim be made when they spent a quarter of a billion dollars on three players (Sandoval, Ramirez, and Porcello)? Their problem is actually that they aren't getting the results they anticipated because none of the middle of the order guys (Ramirez, Sandoval, Napoli, and Ortiz) are hitting as well as expected. They made a colossal mistake by not resigning Lester, and now they aren't going to find any elite pitcher that will be interested in the "less years for a little more money per year" model. It's a good thing the farm is loaded because they desperately need it to be. Also, keep Christian Vasquez's (as well as Brandon Workman's) TJ surgery in mind when evaluating the club. Both of them should have played pivotal roles. I don't know why they signed Masterson, honestly. I'm not sure he'll be around much longer. It's a shame because I really liked him when he came up with Boston.

Their farm system is one of the best in baseball right now, and I'm certain they expect those guys to develop into long term players.You are seeing E. Rod now, Swihart, Castillo. They still have some guys that have yet to show up. That's the future for your club. I'm always happier when the Red Sox are a piece of garbage, but they won't be for long. As much as Red Sox fans hate to admit that they're fans of a big market club. They are, and that's why you signed up Sandoval and Ramirez. They had the money to spend, and those two guys are pretty good. Han-Ram is relatively healthy so far, which is more than I expected. One more thing... are you really hating on Ramirez's production so far? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7488/ That's pretty damn good, and I'd say he's living up to his expectations if not exceeding them.

How does anyone trade with this guy?...Trading Guidelines 1. A trade is confirmed once addresses are exchanged. 2. By confirming a trade with me, you have read and agree to all of the following. 3. Condition: Your cards are non-foil, English, and in mint condition unless otherwise disclosed. You have verified the condition of my cards or otherwise relinquish the right to contest a trade based upon condition. 4. Exchange: You will send first unless you have more than 100 references, in which case we will send simultaneously. You hold all responsibility for lost mail in either direction. Unless your end contains my priority wants, you will include my cost of shipping in stamps or cash, or twice my cost of shipping in card value. 5. Valuation: We will use TCG median as the baseline for valuation. My wants consist of three types with associated valuations (if different from TCG median): priority, bulk (as-listed), and value (-15% if standard; -10% if eternal). My haves consist of three types with associated valuations: excess, reserve (+10% if standard; +15% if eternal), and decked (case-by-case). 6. Buying and Selling: I may buy my priority wants, but certainly won't pay more than I can pay elsewhere. I will sell non-decked haves at competitive prices.
