***LIFETIME LIFE THREAD*** - Page 11 - Small Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

in 6 months I'll have my master in business management (bachelor in finance). What is the "best" work environment to go for? Big banks or smaller KMO's?

Depends on your preference. I hate big companies. Some people hate small companies.

I realize...MBA is kind of a unique beast IMO. You have to some sort of understanding/knowledge to get into specific areas. For example, if you don't have a proper background to make you have success you're prob not gonna get accepted into a MS/MA program. MBA still has requirements in the sense of your work experience. Taking the courses in a BBA program isn't necessary to succeed in MBA. You can't just jump into an upper level program like stats/accounting/economics where material builds on itself. I can't just jump into an upper level accounting course if I didn't take the beginner courses.

I've found some classics I played as a kid:

also Crusader/Wing Commander/Descent/Ultima/etc. are all tempting to buy just for old times' sake

Are there kb/mouse peripherals you can hook up to ipads? afaik these guys just do a minimal amount of work to get these games running properly on the newest versions of Windows and that's it, I wouldn't ever expect a big redesign to a game to allow it to be controlled w/ a touch screen.

I spent much much much much too long getting perfect results on each Painkiller level (the one with the cranes was a bitch). That game was pretty fun, and pretty under rated.

All my childhood games are on Spectrum emulators though... Some under rated classics from there include Chaos and Lasersquad should you feel an urge to sample some 8 bit goodness. If anyone is familiar with UFO: Enemy Unknown, those two games were written by the same people in the 80s.

- Incredible Machine mega-pack
- Jagged Alliance 1
- Jagged Alliance 2

Yeah, lots of time-wasting that can be done.

A lot of the ones I mentioned use dosbox, which is an open source dos emulator. I dunno if that's easily portable or not. And yeah you can use peripherals via Bluetooth with iPad already.

Ah yes, I played quite a lot of multiplayer master of orion 2 with a mate late last year. Once you have your .bat file set up it's all pretty simple to use.

Mine's Stracraft (1). Then Quake (1). Then Red Alert (1). Probably 2500 hours of SC1 in the first two years. Played a lot of AOE (1) and won an AOE2 beta tournament though. No idea what the most I've spent on a single player game is though... Maybe Civ 2? That's only going to be 200 hours max.

Do I win chief geek award?

If you're aiming to compete for chief-geek, I played Starcraft at the World Cyber Games and was UK captain there twice. Paid for my first year of university by winning computer gaming tournaments. My first job was writing about live video gaming tournaments and going around the world to report from them.

Also I THINK Elky's first pokerstars transfer was from me. I was in the first generation of poker playing computer gamers (not sure of any before me asides from Lakerman).

I hope I win now that I've said all that.

I know someone with over 1000 days (so 24,000 hours) played on WoW since it came out and I always thought that would never be topped but you guys may just do it.

The thing with world of warcraft is that how well you do is entirely down to how much time you spend on it. It's essentially single player. Or co-op at best. I don't get why people do it.

Well there may be a place to download every book ever for free, including textbooks, grad school books (med/law/etc), etc.

Spoiler:

You're welcome all Kindle users.

why is that? Being able to travel to lans with a group of friends and play a game that determines a winner based on skill and tactics is far more interesting imo.

In wow you are only good if you invest X amount of hours in it farming.
