    Advice for middle schoolers taking standarized tests. I score them..

    I agree to an extent. You still have to teach your kid how to take the tests. That is trivial though for an involved parent. Here the tests are important because every so often your results are tied to your promotion. If you fail you don't move on to the next grade until you pass the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Heh, marriage is awesome. I love my wife and if I had the chance I'd pick her again over every other woman on this planet. This place is a lot of things, all of them awesome in their own way but it is also straight up mental. Not surprising there is a ton of dysfunction in people's lives...

    DOOM

    I don't remember much of Doom 3 but from what I do remember I much prefer it to this shit. Especially since that was 12 years ago. This isn't horrible or anything its just not very good. I know some of you fuckers gush over everything and anything but this isn't that great.

    DOOM

    I got this in today and played through the first couple of levels. I haven't played a game that is so, well basic, in a very long time. The run speed feels off, fast. No reloading and the whole HUD and no real down sight aiming other than the dot is a bit meh. Reminds of of FPS lite...

    DOOM

    The whole scoring system is garbage. People give 7's and even 8's to shit that is completely mediocre, especially the reviewing sites. You even see it here. Some people gush at everything. Some people shit on just about everything. Most are in between. These days if I have no clue about...

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    You can get lucky but that isn't the case most of the time. First, when you have a shit roof that needs repair you generally have small leaks and such that cause a much different kind of damage than when you have a windstorm and sudden intrusion. So when the adjuster comes out and takes a...

    Yeah that is probably closer to how things would look. Very nice.

    DOOM

    Gamefly shipped this today to me. Looking forward to checking out the single player. I enjoyed the last one. i don't remember a ton about it, but remember they had quite a few video / audio journals lying around that fleshed out a decent enough story for me. Hopefully this will be equal or...

    Health Problems

    If I had to guess, they are probably frequent fliers at the ER looking for scripts and the rest is hearsay. People would be amazed at the shit that happens in ER's.

    That was chuckle worthy at least. Few good lines in there.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    I'd play them in order starting with the remastered 1-3. You don't lose much by waiting on a single player game and the others are worth playing.

    DOOM

    Yeah that seems to be par for the course for PC game sales these days. From what I saw in that stream it looked good. Still just going to get it on gamefly. Redbox is like $3 a day and that adds up fast unless you no life it and do nothing but console all day.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    It takes less than 5 minutes to look at your status page and compare the Power and SNR ratios to what is in spec. If they aren't, generally a relatively cheap amplifier can fix it or removing some of the splitters in the house can work wonders. FAQ: Acceptable cable modem signal levels...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    If it was the router you wouldn't be able to access it. Unless you're using static IP's in the DHCP range you shouldn't have IP conflicts and it certainly wouldn't be hourly. Since it goes out like clock work I'd assume it is your ISP. Post your modem status page here so we can take a look...

    DOOM

    I thought they nailed the multiplayer or at least what I remember of it. Really though, that is the problem. The multiplayer played like a game from 20 years ago. Dropping 5 rockets at people's feet or running around trying to collect armor or power ups just feels so out of place to me...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Pick up an amplifier at walmart or something and plug that in behind your modem. Make sure you use the correct ports and it should help with your power levels. IF your SNR is in spec you should be fine with that.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Go to 192.168.100.1 and post your stats. If you're losing connection most likely it is a power issue or SNR is out of spec. Changing your modem won't fix that but an amplifier might.

    It certainly is a clear violation. If it were me I'd take it up with him personally and not fuck up his career or my family over it. If you go nuclear, which you certainly can do and report him, just realize you are going to be writing off whatever relationship you have with him and anyone...

    Dark Souls 3

    I'm really not that great a souls player. I'm persistent and ok at the game but hardly very good or even good IMO. I finish them and do so so because I'm careful, not greedy on my attacks and when I fuck up I tend to learn and or only repeat the fuck up a handful of times before I learn...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah, its a good game. Although I went back and started a DS2 run and I have to say that DS3 might have it on Combat speed / feel as it hits a nice balance between BB and the souls series DS2 really shines after a playthrough of DS3. More, smaller areas but still pretty well designed I...

    Dark Souls 3

    The spells all suck IIRC. The crystal rapier looked interesting but I never upgraded it or tried it. The ice sword you get from the mini boss down the life in boreal is it? relatively early is pretty tits. The only probelm with it is it takes twinkling to upgrade but its pretty nice. Most...

    Dark Souls 3

    If you think the club sucks you should try the dagger the sorc starts with. Talk about terrible. Either way, the starting "class" doesn't mean shit. Its all about how those starting stats fit into your build or if the class starts with a weapon / shield / armor you might want. You can play...

    Dark Souls 3

    You said it. As for the experience, all that stuff is in game. Perhaps not in the very first area you hit but the game does a decent job of incrementally increasing the difficulty. Even lulling you into a false sense of security. I know I got caught with the weak poison and running...

    It's not broken or anything just some frame rate issues in certain areas and some enemies with wider attack arcs seem to have a bit more aggressive hit box vs the player.

    Tyranny of fees? F2P games, DLC and cash shops are some of the nastiest cancer to grace gaming. Many people playing MMO's pay far more for their 30 - 60 days between inventory, character and weight boosts / other crap than they ever did buying a box and $15 a month. The only people that gain...

    I kind of laugh at people that say how easy everything is and pretty much miss 50% of the content including bosses / mini bosses because they only follow the side walk and might even still be on un-pactched release torrent. Difficulty wise the game feels about right. There are cheese builds...

    Few people have told me the PvP is awesome in this game and I'm just not seeing it. I've been invaded by one competent player since release and the rest have been total scrubs. Invading hasn't been any better really as most of the people suck and the invader tends to have a rather large...

    Raw is nice. I did an Assassin which starts out with a higher dex and Int. Pumped up int and health to 20 with faith at 15 and dex at 20 early on. You start out with a pretty tits sword with an incredibly fast attack that you can use the entire game. I forget the name. Estoic or...

    I beat the game last night. Knight type class. Great game. I really enjoyed everything in game and got most of what I wanted with only a few exceptions (npcs that didn't make it). Got the "king" ending which was cool although I felt the ending cut scene could of been 3x as long. I mean wtf...

    What the fuck do they need survey's for when one dude can surf reddit or other forums and get a pretty good idea of the state of the game. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that mobile cover should of been removed from the get go as just about every exploit involved it. Then to nerf...
