    Kindle Paperwhite here, used an old school Kindle keyboard for years but wanted something I could read without a bright light source.

    Really? I haven't been playing long, but it's always seemed to work for me when I'm targeting certain Evo materials. Did Gungho say that or just people doing testing?

    Just field a weaker team and make sure you kill a Plant first, with 2x Drop pretty good chance it will drop on the first monster you kill. I just got 9 in 4 runs that way.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    I'm glad the Cowboys have no cap space until after Romo/Spencer extend. I don't trust Jerry to not give out some terrible contract to these middle of the road players that have been signing for record amounts yesterday and today. The teams making all these bad signings all have one thing in...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Cowboys have done a really good job at drafting TE's (about the only thing they drafted well between 2006-2009), they can just never breakthrough because of Witten. I think that's 3 TEs now that have gone on to other teams and not washed out - Fasano, Marty B, and Phillips. Their current...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Yeah not sure what people are crazy about. Any Top 10 QB that was an FA this year was going to potentially be the new highest paid QB/player ever, even without a SB - you must have a QB and that aren't enough good ones to go around. That's the going rate. Matt Ryan will get more than Flacco...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    FFXI also was pretty much 100% grinding in parties to level, the "Fields of Valor" weren't added until much later and were mainly to help supplement mobs you were already grinding. They also gave out mana regen and food buffs.

    Meh Mavs season is officially over after losing to Memphis after being up 25. Can't even win when Dirk has 51 points and 34 rebounds over 2 games. First time missing playoffs in over a decade, Dirk missing ~30 games with knee surgery killed them. But I think the rest of the team just isn't...

    FFXI had "level syncing" but it wasn't like GW2, it was closer to EQ2 mentoring. You could form a party and sync down to the lowest level party member, while getting bonus exp.

    I assume they didn't get rid of leves, but even those had some "collect bear asses". If you don't have quests for solo people, what are they going to do, just grind? I don't see how you can get rid of those kind of quests completely.

    DOTA 2

    The guy was complaining about the same 10-15 heroes being used in these pro matches. At least Icefrog rebalances heroes frequently to change up what heroes are being used if it get's stale.

    JRPGs of the X360/PS3/Wii Generation

    You can play it on the Wii U also, which bumps it up to 1080 and it looks much sharper. Though the textures are still low res. If you can get it running on Dolphin on your PC that's the best version, though honestly everything else with the game is so good that I didn't notice the graphics...

    Ninjas were supposed to be ranged DPS in FFXI. They couldn't fix Utsusemi tanking to be how they intended without pissing everyone off, sort of like FD pulling with monk in EverQuest.

    Monster Hunter Series

    Demo is out for download, basically 2 fights of different difficulty where you can choose your weapon. Lots of new weapons that weren't in the Wii version of MH3 - tried out the Gunlance and and Dual Swords. There's also bow and hunter's horn that seem hard to use while solo.

    EQ Never

    Large scale raids (Vox/naggy) in early EQ were pretty much unplayable as a monk until I upgraded from 56k to ISDN. You pretty much buffed up groups one by one and then logged off until every group was buffed up, then your laggy raid would zerg and hope you won. Grouping and and stuff was fine...

    Wii U

    Plus MH3U is releasing on the 3DS at the same time and the 2 systems can play with each other locally, and saves of the game can be imported/exported to be played on either system. So you could have 1 guy playing on Wii U and 2 other friends in the living room on their 3DS playing with you...

    So I just rerolled a bunch after a month of playing with what I found out was a bad team (Undine, Water starter, Mystic Ice Knight, no mermaid, etc). Settled on a Freyr after getting tired of rolling 3 star Fire and Stone Knights, 2 Susasno, and 2 Tiamat. First roll after reroll was a...

    Attach rate. There are great games on all 3 systems. CoD and Madden have just been reshahsed crap for years. The original Modern Warfare was awesome though. This whole discussion started with weak Wii U sales, not sure how it got dragged into console wars yet again. 360/PS3/Wii sales have...

    Wii U

    You are in the small small minority of XBOX/PS3 owners, Sean. You enjoy all types of games and everyone knows you play a lot of them. Of the ~25 X360 owners I know, I'd say 20 of them have libraries consisting only of FPS games (CoD, Battlefield, Gears, Halo, etc) and Madden - this is the...

    Wii U

    The Wii's top 2 selling games (Mario Kart 34mil, Mario Bros 28mil) both outsold the 360 and PS3's top selling games, even if you add them together to account for the userbase being split over 2 consoles. In fact, if you take out Wii Fit/Wii Play/Wii Blah/Kinect/Move attached games - Wii has...

    Wii U

    They may make money off their consoles now after price cuts and hardware cost lowering but MS Gaming division is so far in the red from R&D even now, and PS3 was sold at a loss for about 3/4th of it's lifespan. Not sure how you can say they have no customer base after selling 99 mil consoles...

    Wii U

    Nintendo hasn't been following the "generation" thing for a long time. They realize there is no reason to jump into the battle between Sony and MS over hardware superiority, they said so themselves. Of course they would love more 3rd party support but they will always have their first party...

    You're crazy. Until mobile phones have tactile controls they will never replace true hand helds. The 3DS is selling better than the DS was at this stage of it's life. Phones are fine for playing Farmville and Bejewelled type games, but that's about it. I play the shit out of Puzzles and...

    Don't see what the big deal is. There aren't a lot of good games out to sell the system - just like when the 3DS came out. When Monster Hunter 3, Wind Waker remake, and the other stuff they announced in the last Nintendo Direct release, it will start selling again. Not to mention Mario Kart...

    Thunder still don't play like a team. Can't beat the Heat with lesser talent unless you play as a team on both sides. Also Scott Brooks is bad.

    That that table told me is Dirk shoots 44% in the last minute of games since 2000, which blows everyone away. Also I'm pretty sure we have this conversation every offseason, strong deja vu. Melo always comes out on top.
