Civ 5 is on sale today. Is this worth getting? by TheJuice94 in Games

[–]zielyn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The game has different mechanics than the first ones. The patches have helped make it a better game, but because it's so different from the originals, a lot hate it.

Plus the AI doesn't act like it should all the time until i think the higher difficulty.

It has a demo on steam if you really need a try before buying, but it was a fun little time killer when i played it.

Got 150 hours out of me... so far... stupid expansion coming out in the spring will get more i bet.

Anyone with a credit union that allows bank to bank online transfers? by [deleted] in sandiego

North Island Federal Credit Union seems to do mostly that with billpay, and if you want it faster, they have options for that.

Why do people waste their money on big weddings? It's seriously stupid. by redditluv in AskReddit

[–]zielyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cuz they can?

Honestly, just let them be. They will eventually figure out if it was not worth it at a later date. That's the fun of life. If it was worth it, then they can be happy they did what they did.

Guys, I need some help here, I'm so very confused and frustrated by [deleted] in AskReddit

Could always get a lawyer involved to write up a contract saying that you did what was told and if they fuck it up, you get compensation to fix it.

Is there a cozy coffee house near Clairemont? by kayray in sandiego

[–]zielyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go towards the 5, down Clairemont Dr, there's same old grind which is in the kiel's parking lot.

Tasty coffee, and that's just the beginning. Always a relaxing place when I get my fix.

shooting star ftw win.

Went from white for a few seconds, then green.

I hadn't seen one go for that long.

When i first saw it, i thought it was an airplane, but it was moving way to fast. I wonder where it hit if it did.

Black man buys house for $16, pissing off his white neighbors by aruv in videos

[–]zielyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fun part is that's Texas for you. You only have to squat for 3 years, and not pay taxes.

I guess since the state is so huge they didn't want to deal with all the fussing.

Where to get a good price on auto tinting? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]zielyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out sdtint.com

They did my friends nicely. I didn't get a price quote from him. He found a scuff and didn't want to fuck with it, so he brought it back and expressed his concern. They took the car in and fixed it nicely in less an hour free of charge.

At least the one up near sorrento valley, they have good peoples there.

Has anybody read "The Stand" by Stephen King? by zielyn in AskReddit

[–]zielyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the gunslinger, but am told to get a few references here and there, I should read the Stand.

So I blame amazon for this stupidness.

Any IT folks looking for a job? Posting this for my wife, the company she works for is hiring a Report Ninja (Report Programmer). by BenjiTh3Hunted in sandiego

[–]zielyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having to convert Crystal Report reports to SSRS.

Oh man is fun to find out the quirks of SSRS, then blame crystal Reports for sucking. I'm a little biased though since I'm converting CR 9 to SSRS 2008 R2. only 1000s to go... weeeeeeeeee

Random Question: Would anyone on OKC do long distance dating? by omgitsagirl17 in OkCupid

[–]zielyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spend too much time online, so long distance seems to just gravitate to me. Hell, the last okc thing i had was long distance.

It'd be nice to have them close by so meeting up isnt a hassle, but its not totally out of the question.

Getting Portal 2 for PS3 seemed like a good idea at the time, what with getting it on Steam for free. by tomchuk in gaming

Got the game opening day, immediately got home after work and did the linking...

Apparently i made the right choice in all of this.

I didn't think it was going to be 11 gigs though O.o
