Also, it keeps food and grime from getting in/on your keyboard.
And I think is the best avatar I've had. Fits me like a glove.

We aren't all rolling in money! Sometimes one has to make sacrifices. Downsizing from Mrs Kim to some keyboard stickers was just one of those things that had to be done Dave

No money needed, I just let her play Starcraft II.

SHE HAD A FAMILY, SHAN. HOW COULD YOU!?
Where's your beard?
Inside my face. What, do all brown people have to keep beards on all the time?
Double racist!

Dave's head is reaching new levels of insult.
ZeroRay lost his beard in a rather intense game of rock paper scissors. I now have it as a trophy.

Hey, guys! Thanks to CrudeDiabtribe (whom you should be showering with compliments, gifts, and possible sexual favors depending on sobriety), the database we're using for Secret Santa is finally up. So here's the registration URL:
http://realgafsanta.lonelyfridge.com/registration.php
This is for Real-GAF only, this is not a GAF-at-large Secret Santa. Not anything against anyone else, that would just be too big and unmanageable. So if you're not part of this community, exercise your best judgment. Similarly, don't join if you don't think you can recirporcate presents - this is a big circle of gift-giving to people you hopefully consider friends. We don't want anyone stiffed on this.
OKAY THAT'S ALL THE BAD STUFF OUT OF THE WAY. If you haven't clicked the URL yet, here's what you'll need to be inputting: Your GAF name, your Real Name, your e-mail (don't put a fake one, it is how you will get your Santee information), your address, and any notes and Game Systems you want to add. Try using the last area to put, say, Steam names or what you would like.
The registration will officially close on November 10th, midnight eastern standard time, so you have that long to register. After that, e-mails will be disbursed and everyone will find out who they are buying for. Crude and I will be looking over everything to make sure there are no issues and everyone has a merry Christmas.
But everyone lives in weird places!
Kind of! Luckily, there are options. If you have someone on Steam, you can purchase through there for international people (note that there are rare game exceptions, such as Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, that will not boot up from IPs in Germany, so make sure you double-check on that sort of thing). There are several countries that have their own Amazon delivery, so barring maybe a phone call from your bank, that is a good way to get items to someone.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=487250 - International hubs for Amazon
Usually you can just google "Amazon (country name)" and find what you're looking for and sometimes bigger Amazon hubs may ship to neighboring countries for cheap. So those are your best bets for buying those things for people.
If none of those options work, well...shipping options exist and they might not be TOO expensive. But hopefully it won't come to that. If there is a big problem that just can't be worked around, PM me and I'll see what we can figure out. It will probably involve me talking to the Santee to see what can be done.
But I'm awful at buying presents!
Probably! Most people are! But that's okay! Steam has a wishlist feature if you're going that route. If not, there's a notes section in the registration where hopefully your santee has decided to put what they wanted. And if that doesn't pan out, maybe look through their GAF post history and try and get a feel for what they might want.
And for all the santees, don't be a jerk! People are doing their best to shop for you, so don't get mad if you don't get exactly what you want. We're all friends here, so let's act like it. The important thing is to have fun with it!
Edit: After thinking about it, cap is $75, minimum is $10.
Not many people have signed up! Don't be a jerk!

Now I feel even worse.
Thanks.
Anthony Bourdain's job? Because that's pretty much perfect. I even have a snarky attitude!

I know how you feel. I think that's the trick! I didn't tell anyone about my interview and that's when I got the job. がんばってください！Would it be a full time thing? You should be graduating soonish right?

I was almost a Nintendo employee, but that fell through.

Yeah, it's recent. :< Haven't really talked about it outside of IRC. It was a painful decision, but ultimately a mutual one.

Another cool job would be to work at Motor Trend (based in LA and get to drive cool cars).
But....then you have to live in LA D:
So according to the internet gaming forum NeoGAF, you're either going to be a money grubbing asshole without any journalistic integrity or a luddite who makes gimicky kiddy games with bad graphics. You monster
I'd like those jobs

I already do. Although I wish I lived in Madrid.
Serious question, as someone who hasn't been to LA, what's so bad about the place? It doesn't seem to be very popular.
People seem to like New York a lot. Based on the information I have I really want to live there for at least a year or two.

Urban Sprawl, traffic and awful public transport.
We do have however, beaches, mountains, deserts all within a two hour drive and awesome, albeit boring weather and food trucks.
Thank you. :3

Yeah it was either a hug or a couple of clichees you already heard a thousand times and which are often rather useless with a fresh break-up
