I've rented for about 10 years now ever since I moved out of my parents' home and have paid various amounts for rent over the period. You do have flexibility in moving around, only having to commit to what you and the landlord signed for and if anything breaks down, no money comes out of your pocket. It isn't your problem. But after all these years, I'm putting a down payment on a house as soon as I find the one I love.

Prices are historically low and you build equity in the process. I will agree that as I started the process, I had a feeling of doubt and realized that I'm stuck with my current job now for 30 years minimum. I might find a better job down the road but I will be in debt for 30 years. But I got over it. I have nice apartment neighbors but some more privacy would be great. I want to work on the yard and my wife wants to plant a garden. I would love to let my kids run around a real backyard. I want to paint walls to what I like. I want to tear down walls and style it to what I want. I can't do this with my current rented apartment.

And in the end, after 30 years but working to pay it off sooner, the house is mine. I like the sound of that.

Looks like I'll be playing a lot of Rock Band 3 for my birthday this weekend. Awesome.

Just bought two DSi for my kids. They are too young to use the 3DS, one being too young that she falls under the "Children under 7 shouldn't use the 3D." I'm sure the system is great, but I'll wait for new reiterations of the 3DS and a bigger library. That and it is hard to trust my older daughter who is 7 with a $250 dollar piece of tech.

It's not a staff, it's my walking stick! Don't mind that it magically floats on my back.

Would imagine they launch this when DA2 hits. The game is currently running its last player wipe I believe they said right now before it goes "Live." Probably was never the intention to get the goodies before the game came out. Those who want them have to play it or buy the damn crowns to power level ahead.

I too would suggest using the keyboard. Even with the mouse config changes, it is messy but using the keyboard Arrow keys, WASD and Space Bar, I can actually pilot the damn thing and not crash instantly.

Meh, it just isn't the same with the rest of the crew there to laugh, cry or just sigh in frustration. I want it back in the original podcast. 
 
Remember, do it with a group and it is a hell of a good time. Do it alone and it's just sad.

I still visit the site regularly but I have to say... I'm kinda bored. I seem to have lost interest in the site. All it is on the site is quick snip of the day's news, trailers and a Quick Look here and there. I've mentioned this before and I am not about to ask for Top Ten lists but I want new content that is more original rather than sticking to the usual. 
 
Relying on the members to provide "blogs" for content isn't exactly what I would like. I don't know, maybe I'm just growing up and slowly losing interest in video games.

If they make Torchlight coop, I will definitely buy this game AGAIN for them.
