    Have this on PC and can run it full bore at 60fps 1440p (thanks SLI) but the game seems to load textures in large batches like there are invisible zone lines. Makes driving really obnoxious, suddenly dropping to 0 fps for 2 seconds every half mile and then instantly shooting back up. Hope the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm kinda pissed since I salvaged 2 of them in the time I was using the Jek. Now I'm back to FOTH and spending shards looking for another.

    Isn't it a 10% damage buff to 2hander in the mainhand?

    I find that chart amusing, since I just bought another 780 and I will be getting a coupon for the game. I have no earthly idea what bonuses (if any) to expect. The suspense! ... or something.

    These assholesknow it, too. I wish I wasn't, but I'm sold on 1440p. So I'll probably be picking up the second 780.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I ran 7 T2-T3 rifts in RIF last night and got one legendary - from a destructible. They were mob dense rifts, however. Probably get more legendary drops from the long hallway full of clickables and destructibles.

    Schaefer's Hammerdropped for my Crusader last night - with an INT roll and no socket. Sometimes this game is a real kick in the dick.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just realizing now (late to the party) that Crusaders don't have a lvl 60 set, which is the one with 3 piece = resource regen for every other class. Kind of a nice option to have in the intermediate when you need at minimum 5 pieces of a Torment-only set and a RORG to be efficient with Wrath.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Unsurprisingly the class with the worst builders and lowest natural resource regen hasoneviableendgame damage option that involves removing resource use entirely. Short of getting an ungodly amount of cooldown reduction.

    Yep. How did someone look at the +min/+max damage rolls on weapons, revamp that, and not do the same for gems?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    To be more clear about my definitions (I know it's important in this thread now), "riding the struggle bus" is the opposite of "melting". If I don't kill the pack in one round of cooldowns, bad news.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Dalcima I've been pretty lucky in the last few nights on my Crusader after a cold streak of about 10 days. Haven't had any of the popular combo drops, except a Blade of Prophecy with garbage rolls. Still waiting for a Schaefer's Hammer, maybe an Andariel's with lightning too. Despite all...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    With that weapon you really should be using Sweep Attack rather than Blessed Hammer. Maybe use the fire damage rune and aim for upgrades with +fire damage, since you're already doing fire damage with Slash. Swap Holy Cause for Wrathful since you only have one ability doing Holy damage and no...

    For the mini-ITX builders; Silverstone'sRVZ01Bis out now. Supports 13inch GPUs on a riser so it lays parallel to the motherboard. Have to buy an SFX power supply and some short cables of course, but great space saver that can still house a full-power machine.

    NAS+Virtual Machines

    To expand a bit; Proxmox will cover you for storage/networking/resource allotment, but access will obviously depend on your HTPC / any other devices you set up. Easiest thing to do would be to statically IP all your VMs and access via remote desktop or a free VNC viewer. Run some USB along...

    Check out proxmox (Home). Quite powerful and free. May require a bit of Linux knowledge to be a power user, but the latest versions have almost everything built into the UI.

    I'm a big fan of Antec and for my build last winter I got thep280. It isn't flashy but it's solidly built, and always ~100$ or less this time of year. Front filters catch most of the dust that comes into my system. Also the dual top exhaust fans were a huge winner for me because I usethisCPU...

    Punch Brothers are awesome, but that song is on the lower half of their stuff in my opinion.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I've been making new characters on any realm that is open to it. Every time I make a character, I get 1017'd from the queue. I don't understand; if the server is full, why the fuck are you letting me make a character? At least have some consistency in your hackjob of a fix.

    Problem is definitely not restricted to high population servers. Just made a new character on one of the two servers that were accepting (Siren, other is Phoenix) and even 0 spam didn't get me in. Hard cap on total population?

    Is this for real? It looks like Scythe Evie gameplay from Vindictus minus 90% of the move set and a decade off the visuals.

    EVE Online

    It's buddy invite season again! So time to do what someone once did for me back in 2010. If you'd like a 21 day trial for Eve, PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite. If you upgrade the trial account to a subscription, I will send you a fat chunk of ISK to get you started.

    The Great Gatsby

    The anachronistic music makes the first quarter of the movie pretty unbearable. It isn't done in an interesting way (Bioshock Infiniteanyone?) and is just shoved into every party scene. But that shit goes away entirely in the second half and the movie becomes decent towards the end.

    The Place Beyond The Pines

    That's what I expected from the trailers, but the movie is maybe 20 minutesDriveout of the full 150. Was still pleasantly surprised.

    Just watched this. Long, but quite an experience. Might hit you in the feels. The less you know going into it, the better ie. don't read the paragraph above.

    DmC: Devil May Cry

    I really enjoyed my first playthrough of this and I'm loving Son of Sparda. Speaking only on story for a moment... I had no idea there were so many people that viewed Dante and Virgil as archetypes of brilliant character design. There is a fair amount of cheese in the new DmC and a few...

    There seems to be a lot of negative press about OCZ but honestly you aren't likely to get a "bad" SSD these days so long as you keep your firmware up to date. I can personally recommend the Samsung 830 and the Crucial M4 because I've used both, but that doesn't mean a Kingston HyperX or an OCZ...

    I will have a testimonial to this effect when I take my 560TI out of my circa-2007 desktop (Nvidia 780i board, 1333 DDR2 RAM, Core2Quad Q6600) and move it in to a new environment (Z77 board, 1866+ DDR3 RAM, i7 3770k OC'd) on Jan 1st.
