    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Yeah, that makes perfect sense to me. If a lawyer can actually earn the credential, I could see value in branding you with savvy from a different field. Their website is very vague on the matter and I haven't had much reason to research as my field would quite likely qualify. What's more-so...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    I've pretty much given up on giving a fuck about this series. Given the length to release ADWD, combined with the overall quality of the release, I'm not really convinced that he has any fucking idea where he's going with this series. I'm basically expecting him to die and for them to find a...

    The only problem with the last piece is that you actually need several years of investment experience in order to actually be eligible to get the designation after you past the exams. They aren't very clear what constitutes investment experience, but I doubt that being a lawyer or non financial...

    I've taken the CFA before, brutal exam. Studying for the GMATs is a lot easier by comparison. A little apples and oranges, but the sheer volume of material on the CFA is unbelievable. The CIISP is for IT security professionals, a friend of mine has one. He actually works for blizzard now doing...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I couldn't have done less diligence in the purchase of my TV. I basically went to BJs to get some food for the apartment, saw the TV and pulled the trigger. I'm sure the Chromecast handles 95% of what the Google TV does. That said, I love the functionality. The voice recognition on the LG remote...

    Finally bought myself a snowboard. I've wanted one for most of my life, but the cost of the boots, bindings, goggles, board, and other misc stuff was just too much to bare in one go. I've gone a few times over the last few years, but would have gone far more often if I had a board. The Burton...

    BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE.

    I was in Target with my girlfriend looking to buy Christmas movies and some new parent steered us towards some animated kids Christmas movie called 'Arthur Christmas'. We got it and its actually really really good. My list is probably this: Christmas Vacation Die Hard Arthur Christmas ?? -...

    Some of the off the rack brands in the US use tailored rather than slim fit to describe a slimmer cut shirt. Jos. A Bank and at least a few others do.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Drow? We had a few Drow guys go awol and roll on Horde to join Juggernaut. One of them was from the Rathe as well.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Every time Thanksgiving rolls around, I remember stumbling around Thunder Bluffs on my old laptop while being home from college. The game had been out for a day or two at that point and was so much more smooth and fluid than I had expected. It was pouring rain in Massachusetts on release night...

    What do you do?

    I interviewed at an asset management firm for an entry level analyst job and it had a phone int, round 1 was meeting with 5 different people, round two was meeting with another 5 people (4 different than the original, one was the hiring manager who was from round 1) and round 3, which I didn't...

    Men's Fashion

    I just got a winter jacket from Theory. Their stuff fits me really really well but is exceptionally expensive for the quality. Having a 32 in waist, it can be hard to find jackets that actually fit through the torso, so I bit the bullet and picked it up. Made in China and I'm not sure about the...

    I think the discussion on P99 and your question could potentially rooted from a fundamentally different place. EQ Mac, as you surely know, is a PC port shortly after the release of PoP. There are loads of things in classic and Kunark that are not as they were in 1999, simply due to the fact that...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    I had PRK done about 18 months ago. Vision was -6 in each eye. Supposedly 20/20 now, doesn't really feel like it though. My vision was very very sharp with glasses, I am definately not near where I was with glasses post PRK. That said, my vision is good, I have no halos or issues (eyes still...

    Laptop Computers

    Haha. That is an excellent reference; one of my favorite episodes. I believe that Homer's car design was supposed to be for the every-man. What I'm looking for would be pretty high end. Not that cost isn't a concern, but spending $3k or more isn't entirely out of the question. I essentially want...

    Laptop Computers

    I'm looking for something fairly portable with a lot of power. Something that I can move without too much work and is about as fast as a mid top-end desk top. I just really want to move this between my couch and my bedroom; portability and power usage shouldn't be a concern. Is there a laptop...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to regearing. I don't really know how that would work as I'd be totally useless in TSS raids without gear. Maybe buy group gear and do TSS raids and go from there?

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Is Fabled PoP gear considered in Era for TFO? I have a 75 SK with 2600AA who I've been waiting for TFO to catch up with so I can raid Solteris. His gear is all Fabled Time and the level 75 req Eon plated gear from SoD, which while is best in slot for a 75, I am not sure if it is legit for the...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I probably put 5m into a 52 warrior twink on FV. Full Yttrium armor, that 19/18 GoD piercer and 100% best in slot stuff and I could only get Naggy to about 25%.

    The old ssoy had the graphic of the bloodfire, rather than the short sword of morin boomerangy look. I hated that change - I assume they were just too lazy to come up with another texture for bloodfire.

    I've seen my share of failed mass naggy raids as well. Usually employed waves and bind rushing. We definitely had no idea about blocking the AOE with walls or anything of that nature, we all just ran out there and got owned by the breath.

    I find myself in that same place Fish. I dropped one of my boxes to be more group friendly just one time in the last 2 months and my shaman is still 4 levels behind because of it. I really would like to group more but messing up my 5 box dynamic seems not worth it to me. Maybe I'll just level...

    I don't think I've heard of 3 cloaks happening ever. Usually saw one like every 3-4 kills; definitely all GPKs and tash orbs and shit. Even the naggy teeth were pretty rare.

    I used that tutorial hack or something similar to scope out the plane of hate before it was released. I was really surprised to find that it was essentially neriak themed zone.

    Does anyone else face a bug on the PC client where literally everything on your UI turns off and resets? Sometimes I hit a button and all my group, target, buff, hotkey, etc boxes go away, my ui goes to off mode, and my camera goes to third person. This just happened on a fresh install on my...

    For some reason, I remember always being really upset that I couldn't keep the giant ruby that you got in the tutorial. My perception of the relative power and value of stuff was very skewed when I first started, I'm not sure if it was because I was young and impressionable or just the...

    Never thought I'd see the day where a genuine SOE server would feel more at risk for a abrupt unannounced closure than its emulator cousin. I'd probably feel more safe with the permenance of my toon on P99 than on EQ Mac at this point. Esp after the layoffs.

    Aye, having the MQ2 devs working on the PC hack worries me that, given the source, MQ2 use on the Mac server will begin to get out of control. If the patch can remedy some of the MQ issues, by virtue of correcting the holes which allow the exploits rather than simply by the new patch version...
