Given that I already got a vasectomy to ensure I never have kids...I'm already sterile! Yay!

My answer was originally going to be "all right, I don't currently have a problem with that", but then I saw this and I was like "...never? Am I sure I would completely like to cut that route of my life off"?

A lot of people like their kids. They might tease them or complain that they drive them up the wall, but at the end of the day people keep describing their kids as their greatest joy. How do I know that my current perspective of "hell naw" won't ever change to "maybe" and then "all right, let's do some multiplication, baby!"?

The truth is that it wouldn't bother me at all now but when I turn 30, 40, 50 years old, the inability to procreate might be something that future me sorely misses and deeply wishes things had gone differently. Sure, I could have adopted, but it may be too late by the time future me realizes that kids could have been amazing.

Anyway, I know for certain that I do not want any little buggers until I'm at least 25, and that's a stretch. I'd rather wait until I'm 30. No, really. My 20's are not for having kids.

Just to clarify some things: I really don't like being around kids, my spouse also really doesn't like kids and neither of us have great genes. Also kids would interfere with our life goals which are far from the standard white picket fence with 2.5 kids.

EDIT: My main point is this is not something that we took lightly. We spent many hours discussing this before we decided I should get a vasectomy.

I've had this issue off an on for months now. I never watch the videos from the web page. I always download them to watch through my media server. Sometimes I get downloads at about 1.5 MB/s and other times it caps out at about 140 kB/s. I've had this issue with both my isp's DNS and also openDNS (which I switched to a couple weeks ago to avoid Time Warner's YouTube throttling). Traceroute shows that openDNS is pointing me to LA which is relatively close by (I'm in Yuma, AZ).

Earlier today I was getting awful download speeds from Giant Bomb, so I tried downloading it to my VPS based in Colorado. 13MB/s download speed!

I'd like to join, assuming "gaymer" is a blanket term for queer in general (I'm bisexual and transgender). I'm sad to say I don't have a ton of multiplayer games on 360, but I'm sure we can find something to play. My gamertag is Caelitar (I also have control of Calitar, but that account isn't gold).

@Anomareh: Currently every member of the guild is cleared to recruit more members. You can find more info on how to join in this thread

Yeah, you want Ship 2. You may have problems creating an account at peak times, but don't cave and go to another ship if you want to run into any english speakers. On Ship 2, go to lobby 20-23 and you'll see almost nothing but English speakers. If you join the Giant Bomb guild we can help get you started.

I haven't played it myself, but I've heard some pretty bad things about that version. Sorry.

I don't think I like that that site also tells you how to cheat/hack the game. That's pretty fucking lame.

My guess is that would be part of the reason PSO-World doesn't let people link to/ask for it. Also, I'm worried that the translation patch would get you banned thanks to the GameGuard anti-cheat software (which was not being used in the closed beta). Personally, I'm not going to take the risk and I've just dusted off my copy of Remembering the Kanji instead.

It crashed the first time I tried to run it, but it's been fine since.

@WilltheMagicAsian: Oh man, I forgot about that. I'm so glad I got my invite before they started that.
