    Its Newegg, there's no way its shipped yet. Call and switch your order. Here's a pretty nice ASRock board to replace it; its really good for the price:Newegg.com - ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gbs USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Micro-atx boards are cool and all, but...

    It does look like they are pretty much in gross violation of their Kickstarter contract. What an abortion.

    Ram speed is no longer tied to overclocking on Haswell. That said go nuts if you want, there is some benefit but not much for the kind of platform you're building. Lower RAM timings would be of higher benefit like a nice cas 8 kit.. something in the trident series.

    Sounds like a nice trip, your little spill notwithstanding. The video said 'this one hurt', did you get injured any? Interior BC is the best skiing in the world, IMO. You're a lucky SOB.

    The controller support on PC is really good, actually. Plays just like the console. Also you can switch instantly and seamlessly from controller to keyboard and the interface changes on the fly without having to restart or anything. The game was only a flop to Chafee and the 38 Studios execs...

    It does. I personally played it with a wireless Xbox360 Controller. Though I eventually resorted to mouse / keyboard the game was really made for consoles through and through.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I entered that Godankey key giveaway using a junk email account thinking its probably a spam site, but what the hell why not give it a try. Well, a Wildstar beta key shows up in my inbox just a little while ago. I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend now.

    The very nature of being an Emperor is unfair. He shouldn't be invincible but yeah he should rape and pillage some. I imagine the uproar would be worse if there were no tangible benefits for the title.

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

    I'm pretty sure they intend to use the money from the private donations and forum sub to construct a shoddy prototype and launch a better Kickstarter.

    Do you mean what people were playing? In the last beta, it was fairly evenly distributed between Dragon Knight, Sorcerer, and Nightblade from my experience. Didn't see too many Templars.

    Rampant Ass-hattery is what redeems the FoH/Rerolled forums. Otherwise this place would be just any old generic gaming forum filled with faggots and trannies.

    Anecdotally, when I mentioned how trivially easy the game was in /zone I got a massive backlash from players saying how wrong I was, the game is hard as shit.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    As a bow-using nightblade, even with only 1 piece of green gear, I pretty much one-shot everything if I Shadow Cloaked, or just plain snuck. If I didn't one-shot, an instant Poison Arrow or Strife downed the mob before they could even take a few steps.

    Yep, its gonna come in at $799. Hefty for sure. To me, it'll be worth it and Dumar also did ask for a top-of-the-line buildBut good news is BenQ, Philips, and ViewSonic all have cheaper 1080P Gsync monitors on the way. The Swift is the only 1440P one though.

    I was actually responding to Dumar's post, which I failed to quote, since he linked a similar monitor from Asus :P I want to clarify though the TN panel they are using for the Swift is far from crappy. Its actually considerably better than the vast majority of 6-bit TN panels on the market...

    Ducky's are still garbage compared to Filco's and heck even many of the up and comers (most of which like the CM Storm QF Rapids, are just rebranded Costars AKA Filco's anyway) IMO they're worth about 60-70% of their asking price.

    Skiing/Snowboarding Thread

    Jackson Hole is amazing if you have the skill to ski it and there's at least an 85" base. Big Sky, and heck all of MT sucks though. Flat, rocky, heavy wet terrible snow, foggy, slow lifts and stupid crowds. Avoid at all costs. Stick to tahoe, colorado and the wasatch.

    Dahkoht, did you get to beta test it at all? You've seemed a bit on the fence whether you'll purchase it or not. IMO a weekend beta was enough for me to know whether or not I'd like it.

    VO neither bothers me nor would I care if it didn't have it. However, the target audience for this game is also primarily console ES fans. They would throw a conniption if the game wasn't fully VO'd.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Personally I'm skeptical that the game is worth a sub. However I am still going to play it for likely several months as that is how long I think I'll get out of it exhausting the PVE & PVP over 5 toons (plan on leveling one of each class). We know much more about PVP now but we still don't...

    Well its not really just one server. Its just a fancy load-distribution front-end where they can add or subtract as many server resources as they need. I'm still willing to bet they'll underestimate their physical server needs for launch day however.

    I'm going to pre-order when another valid GMG 25%Off Voucher comes available. All of the current codes published no longer work. If one doesn't oh well I'll still order closer to launch. Barring some massive game-breaking flaw I know I'll get at least a month out of it, likely more depending on...

    R.I. had zero involvement in the game's actual production. They didn't want to, and the firm they hired out to "keep tabs" of its development apparently had no obligation to report anything substantial either. All part of the lawsuit. RI didn't pay the last one not because any Milestone was...

    For what its worth, I do clearly recall Curt leaving on a business trip to China. This was at release of Reckoning or shortly thereafter. I was following things pretty closely at that time.

    Well the buck still did stop with Curt. No matter how you look at it, he was still responsible for a clearly bloated and incompetent executive staff. He didn't know shit was being mismanaged? It was his responsibility to. He refused to give up any significant ownership. He could clean house in a...

    Grave, thanks for your insights. Can I ask what are your opinions of the IP and assets not selling? I think its ridiculous that Rhode Island expects so much (i read an article where they were quoted wanting in the "tens of millions" range) and won't just sell to the highest bidder. Personally...

    Yes, Rift was complete on launch. Had dungeons, heroic modes of those dungeons, pvp, all the quest zones finished and a raid. Even stuff like a fully customizable UI was in at launch. Trion was correctly lauded for those production values. That's why I'd love to see Scott produce a game with...

    I, too found first person to be much more enjoyable. For one, I didn't have to look at my shitty animations. I too found the offset third person kind of strange. I could probbly get used to it. But the combat in first person was so much more enjoyable for me I just stuck with that. Unsure how...

    I'll be buying it, too. I'm also a total MMO whore. I agree with your list, I think its fair and accurate but I would add to the negatives: * Retardedly easily simplicity and difficulty. * Animations that would make puppies cry. * Terrible, what the fuck were they thinking itemization...

    I commented in /zone how I was enjoying the game for the most part but how super easy it was. I proceeded to then get flooded with numerous 'omg wtf this shit is freaking hard, man' and relevant responses. I predict TESO sells millions and is a huge success.

    I resorted to farming chests, which isn't hard at all if you know where to look and they respawn within minutes. Plus the lockpicking game is kind of fun, and at 13g a pick its also economical.
