    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm kinda sad this forum is dead, yet again. But the new forum software is a lot better and most of the big threads and a lot of people have already migrated over.

    Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

    Ok, soooo ... registered over at ReReRolled. - the software is better in pretty much every way - mobile is not only "usable" but quite good (need to use "full site" option here to make this forum remotely usable on mobile) - the upvote system is a lot better - seems like most of the big...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    This is pretty good. TLDR: they mathematically prove that only 0.08% of comments the new Ghostbusters film had anything to do with "women" or "feminism". So essentially the "deluge of misogynists" narrative was complete bullshit. It made the top of r/movies mulitiple times and is being...

    Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

    Cool, so we can all stay then? Wasn't too happy migrating over to the ReRe site. Probably would have just finally tapped out instead of migrating yet again ...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Yep, tried it today. Works flawlessly, although it was down for maintenance for a bit. Saw an Eevee right near my house, walked 100 feet, grabbed it, and evolved my first Vaporeon.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    One of the big issues IMHO: (1) small dev team, (2) niche MMOG, (3) limited instancing. There is going to be rampant hacking guaranteed and limited support personnel to deal with it. EQ and VG had Sony money to deal with cheaters. That is not the case here.

    Home buying thread

    Well now is a pretty decent time to buy. Prices are pretty reasonable compared to the pre-2008 bust and mortgage rates are pretty low. I have a VA loan through Freedom Mortgage and they just lowered my fixed rate 30-year (yet again) to 3.25%. They called me, offered to lower it for free, no...

    EQ Never

    Yeah, the current gen hardware has hardly any games that are 60FPS always at standard HD. Most are either locked at 30FPS or use tricks like variable resolution to stay near 60. 4K at any decent frame rate seems like a pipe dream TBH ...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Lol, her name is "Riri" which rhymes with a slang term for "retarded", which pretty much sums up the state of Marvel Comics right now. Urban Dictionary: rere

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    Also, don't turn down "contract" work. Contract-to-hire is fairly common in the tech field. There are a number of people who can talk a good game in interviews, but are either lazy or inept when it comes to actually doing things. We rarely lay off anyone but we just fired a guy just like that...

    Here's a inspirational video. This guy wanted a Streets 1.12 and fucking did it. He is a legend.

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    Hmm, what city you in? If you have a CS degree in any decent sized city it is very easy to get a job. If you don't mind relocating it is even easier. I have a CS graduate degree and have never updated my LinkedIn because I don't have to. Recruiters from Google, MS, Boeing, Amazon, Infinity...

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    You are doing good man, don't get discouraged. Keep it up. But, do you mind if I ask how much the "Dog ER visit" was? This recently came up in my family. My cousin's dog got cancer and my mom disclosed that he drained his most of his retirement account, allegedly "over $16,000" (dude is in...
