    First World Problems

    I've lived in Cincinnati for 2 winters now. After having lived in Phoenix, AZ, for 27 years. I damn near died this last winter from the cold/snow/bullshitwintermonthsshit. Chicago will destroy my soul. So yeah, it's absolutely something to debate.

    First World Problems

    Being offered a promotion. But having to probably move to Chicago. Decisions. Way too damn cold there, vs ~20k increase in pay. FWP for sure.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Well, with my 72 points I've not even spent any of them yet. I'm definitely well below the average. I own all but like 5 of the heroes now, and keep telling myself I'll level them all to 60, I just get distracted by other things, and work, and then I stupidly bought ROS for D3 and sunk some...

    You'd think that they would have an extremely easy database query to find what the average user is at for Omega Points. I can't believe that their average user is anywhere near the 7500/year mark, or the 780 currently that some of the math showed. Look at every account that has logged in...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I've got a friend looking to start up again, I've got a 70 DH who can handle T1 easily enough. What's the "easy" way to PL? I've heard from others that you can go from 1-70 in some ungodly quick 4 hours or some such. So, someone break down the noobs-guide-to-rapidly-pl someone. Do it on...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Very nearly got one of those instead of the Benz. Dig that color you got.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The interior is great, definitely feels like a Mercedes. I'm a big guy (6'6", 300lbs) and i'm very comfortable inside it, plenty of head room, legs aren't cramped at all. Of course no one could sit behind me, but that's not my problem. Looks good, everything is very functional, buttons in all...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Weather finally got decent enough to take a pic a bit ago. Definitely loving it so far - 2014 CLA 250. Did a couple of road trips and got around 36 mpg on it, around town/commute to work it's right around 27. Fun, sporty, comfy.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Agreed on the Omega Orbs - although I'd also wonder why things like Cube Shards, Infinity Splinters, and Odin Marks in general don't just auto-go to inventory. Never understood why I had the possibility of missing those if I stupidly wandered off. Yeah yeah, personal responsibility, whatever...

    Well you do get a free stash unlock today, plus don't forget that you can always use your Team-Up inventory to store stuff in even if you haven't bought a Team-Up person yet. Instead of hitting C to bring up your own character hit I to bring up all inventory. Can hold down ctrl and right click...

    Cosmic Mandarin is currently bugged - when he dies he just vanishes, no loot. So just run Modok till they fix it.

    Lol, I had no idea you could just skip right by him. I'm so used to normal gating mechanics in these things I just assumed he was a required kill before you could proceed. Jeez I feel dumb now. Thanks for the tip!

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Did get a White Suit Jacket and a whole bunch of nothing else. Glad I'll be sleeping or working while it's Magneto's turn in the rotation. Fuck Pyro in the ear. I can kill him on Cosmic, but only if I kite and just use my signature nuke stomp Colossus thing every 25 seconds. Demo stomp when...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Ok, so geez, didn't know that by going Colossus to start I was playing ez-mode. What a difference with Hawkeye. Got Colossus to 60, and could do Cosmic terminals quite well right off the bat - would die a few times, particularly to one shot style mechanics (Kurse terminal, the giant charges...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Not sure I follow that - Cosmic Terminals? Those are easy enough solo, and wasn't even aware you could do them as a group. Is there something else called a Cosmic group? Thanks though, will have to look into X-Def more too. And the Reaper stuff.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    So, now that I've hit 60 on Colossus, is there any particular part of the game I should focus on to get the best gear? Cosmic Terminals? X-Def? Legendary Quests? Or is it pretty much equal chance in any to get cool stuff? Most days I have at most about an hour or two to play and want to make...

    Oh that's awesome! Just got Deadpool - I thought about getting him but didn't want to pay the 1350G for it, was wanting to maximize by buying lower cost guys and getting lucky. The one 1350 I bought was Ironman, cause, well, it's Ironman. Wasn't expecting a total freebie like that...

    Speaking of, what's max level for crafters/vendors etc? I got Crafter to 10 and Enchanter to 9 so far, and other vendors at like 4-6 or so. Thanks for the tips on Legendary Quests - just been flying. Level 45 now. Gonna take a break and get dinner but hope to hit 60 tonight maybe. I...

    Ah, cool, so I can retcon with no fear. Cool. And bummer, I saw the infinity shard or whatever prices of 200 for some cheaper heroes and thought that was the G price as well. Darn there. Thanks!

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Thanks for the tips - I chose Colossus as my free starter guy and definitely enjoying him so far. Was doing the story quest for the most part, but then wanted to see what else was available. Like the Midtown Patrol and Holo-Sim Defense challenge things. Tons of loot drops, quick xp. I've...

    Thanks for the info! And bummer on the BOGO, thought you would get to choose the free one. I guess that'd be too awesome hah. I'll just have to hope for some good luck. Much appreciated.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Downloading this now for the first time. I see that they're doing a buy-one get-one for the weekend - any characters that I simply "must" get? I typically go the barbarian/melee/big-old-hunking-hulk type character in most of these types of games (Diablo, etc). Any recommendations or things...

    Trying to help my nephew with a math problem.

    time spent in line = X Number of people in line = Y Number of people in cars = C Time of ride = T x = Y/(C/T) napkin mathing it in my head, but that sounds right. If you have a ride that is 1 minute in duration (including loading and unloading I guess?) and it fits 20 people on the...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I'm dumb. I always come back every year on test when the fableds are up. Go away fabled mobs, you annoy me. Although now that I don't need to worry about AAing at all I can just level to 85ish and then should be able to handle most Fableds from Vanilla - Pop? Maybe? Dunno. I mainly 2...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Thanks, I'll take a look at that stuff - that sounds like something that I'd probably definitely be able to utilize well - since 75ish is likely where I'll stop I'd think. Thanks for the info, and the offer! And Mystrak - thanks for the gear! It's better than what I had, indeed!

    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    Personally love the AA change - don't care about the other ones at all as I don't have any character over 75 or 80 I don't think, and also no rogue/beastlord/sk for swarm killing anyways. I'm the kind of player that logs in once a year or so for a couple months - either start a new character...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Is the free AA grant on Test yet? Yes, I could just log in and check, but I'm being lazy right now. I stopped being lazy. It's not on Test yet. Just checked. On that note though - anyone have anything for a level 71 monk that I moved to test? Have only a couple hundred AA and...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Picked up my CLA-250 yesterday morning. Loving it so far. There's not been any sunshine yesterday or today so no good pics yet - plus I'm a lousy photographer, so eff it. So far no complaints, I fit great in it - 6'6" and have a good bit of head room and legs are comfortable.

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

    I, like many here, am on the fence and have hesitated so far to pledge. I nearly did on day 1, but wanted to get some more concrete information, and haven't exactly seen that come to life yet. Insert some "you've got 30 days" kind of rant here. I'm looking at the $250 pledge amount or the...

    Why did Rift fail?

    That was a big part of the lack of staying power for me - the dungeons were good (great at start with the difficulty imo), but the leveling path was so linear, up until the last two zones, which you could sorta skip one or the other. I'm a bit of an alt-o-holic, and with only four classes I was...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    So, picked up my Xbox One - very happy to see that Logitech Harmony already has support for it built in, as it replaced my BR player for downstairs too. Easy setup, everything works, no complaints at all yet. The important part though - this means I now have an Xbox 360 4gb w/Kinect...
