Not a very good business venture mind you - exactly how much are the writers being paid?

I had originally typed 'failed' in there... but sometimes I think that I'm being overly cynical >_>

Steam has for some reason raised a billing dispute with my cc company despite having bought heaps of games from them before fine. Can't access my account till its sorted apparently.

Neither myself, the other admins nor any of the writers get paid anything to write for PALGN.
In 2007, before the GFC, I might have made a couple of hundred when things - such as advertising - were going very well and being done properly, but that's all in over 6.5 years of being here.

My $120 modem that I bought in June is, quite simply, a piece of shit. I was without internet for 5 or so days, so I needed a new one, went to JB and bought one that seemed decent (they only stocked Belkin). Now I'm gonna have to spend another $150+ for a decent one. First time I've bought something without researching, and now I'm paying for it with borderline unusable internet. Never again.

As Jeremy said, nothing at all, but I also want to emphasis that we're volunteers when attending events too. Jeremy and Adam's coverage of both E3 2010 and E3 2011 was entirely out of their own pockets.

Wow, I had no idea about that.

Does it also include over-the-top stat tracking as well as funky looking graphs? Does it also include facebook and twitter integration and the... Wait, we're not talking about COD: Elite... *Slips back into the shadows*

She only uses it occasionally, so buying a new one would be a waste of money.

Buying DDR RAM could be almost as expensive as buying a DDR2 motherboard, RAM and CPU...
(I may be exaggerating... a little... not too much)

chances are youd be better off buying her one of those crappy $400 notebooks as anything that old ie using DDR simply isn't worth fixing or upgrading in 2011 hell you can put together a PC leaps and bounds better then what im guessing that heap is for next to nothing

Humidity and heat.
My God I hate heat waves. It turns me into the most irritable and impatient human. Completely fucked my day and sleep and I'm in a terrible mood because of it.
