    Obviously, depends what you like. If you have a solid group of friends willing to start with you then yea, probably. Solo? I dunno.

    Don't sweat the matchmaker too much right now, it's still pre-season and I suspect as more people trickle in (the open beta crowd are still leveling up) it'll get better. Besides; sometimes you're the mouth-breeding feeder that someone else rants about.

    Never played golf in my life, but does walking 18 holes sound equal to running 8 miles at 7.5min/mile pace (1375 calories)? edit: looks like you walk about 6 miles in 18 holes.

    These guys are really newb friendly:Warp to Me Incursions They have posted minimum fits required for all the roles (sniper, brawler, logi). I got in easily enough with a 200m isk scimitar rocking Logi IV.

    This is how people end up believing in the dumbest shit (impossible to lose weight!). It's not just 30 calories; it'll be some margin of error compounded repeatedly throughout the day and likely underestimating. Plus, most people can't eyeball portions for shit. If you asked 10 people to...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Most of the skepticism you detect, Variise, is just people pointing out two things: this is one of the most ambitious projects ever conceived from both a gameplay AND technical perspective, and the method (long distance, modules...) is a difficult feat for programmers. All of this from a brand...

    B1 people have hope they'll climb to S5; S5 people are pissed that they're in elo hell and probably don't try as hard. Never take any in-game criticism at face value; its always vitriol spewed by someone mad at themselves for doing something retarded. Jungle will get the brunt of the rage...

    EVE Online

    Well I guess its implied that you need to find a corp and move your assets. Or are you suggesting just yolo'ing it? I'm not familiar at all with null ratting so if its easier than incursions, fine... I just figured nothing can beat the risk-free 100-150m an hour from incursions.

    EVE Online

    If he has to ask this question, then he ought to just go run incursions. Ratting in nullsec is more complicated than joining an incursion channel, copying the fit, and hitting X in chat when they call for DPS.

    Lol @ vitality. The people that play R99 are battered wives and most of them will return. It doesn't matter how badly the admins treat them; there literally is nothing else on the market.

    Wouldn't an officer with your TIS be an O3 by now and making roughly 2x what you make, Brikker? Seems like a pretty ridiculous statement to say that an E5's life is better than an O3's. Unless something is substantially different in the USAF, I would have expected that by the time an officer...

    For people suffering from allergies: highly recommend investing in a good home HEPA air filter. It's night and day for me, and especially important for sleep. Put that sucker 5 ft from your face and enjoy pollen-free air.

    The officer route is highly competitive; lots of young men with non-STEM degrees realize they'll make far more as an O1-O3 than any fucking job their history/poli-sci B.A. qualifies them for. Are you stronger/faster than everyone you know? Can you run a sub 20 minute 5k? (That's USMC; maybe...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I was telling my buddy that were I in this scenario I'd just load a ton of books onto my kindle, shut off all services (electricity/water/gas), and sleeping bag it up with the expectation that she'd break before I did. Probably illegal somehow but it was fun to joke about.

    This is asinine; you needed some semblance of a proper group to do lguk/solb in classic. Now, it sounds like a mage and cleric can duo anything non-raid in the game. That is wholly unlike classic EQ.

    League Of Legends

    Winning consistently as support doesn't require anymore coordination from the team than any other role. Like I said, I think the essential math is just how badly you are outplaying the opposing support.

    League Of Legends

    I'm not so sure about the "carry from jungle/mid" mindset. The essential math here is the gap between you and your opposing matchup: if everyone looking to tryhard plays mid/jungle then the competition is higher, and the gap diminishes. I mean, if you asked someone which role is the hardest...

    Yep, I'd move all her shit out and expect her to lean on her friends/family for support -- not her ex-bf. I'd also expect some petty retaliatory shit from her, by the way you've described her behavior. Like, throwing a brick through your window or something. I've let an ex stay with me for...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I don't really see the point for most people to get caught up in this. I think it's a fair assumption that some people, for whatever fucking reason, are just better at losing/gaining weight. Similarly, my wife smoked from 15 to 25 then just stopped, cold turkey. I smoked 18-29 and attempted...

    Two things regarding matchmaking: A) Good matchmaking requires a huge concurrent player base. Someone mathed it all out but it's startling how many players you need to actually have a reasonable matchup in a reasonable amount of time. I suspect Open Beta --> Launch will help with this...

    Maybe the added logistical burden could serve as a check on the power a large force like PRX usually wields in MMOs. I agree it may lead to unfun... but guilds like PRX crush the fun out of smaller guilds who do not want to roll 100+ deep. I dunno. I think the last ten years of MMOs have...

    People on reddit seem to be loving the deterministic lockstep mode. Granted, you need <100ms to run this properly -- but I'm even seeing reports of guys at 100-150 enjoying it. The one issue I'm seeing are people with unstable connections... if your ping sporadically jumps to 200 then det...

    The comeback mechanisms are insane -- not just the coded ones, but the meta-aspect of a winning team acting like retards and just shoving into a base is a surefire way to get aced. I was joking with my friend that if we could just get people to never attack structures, always attack neutrals...

    Shrug, obviously to each their own. That being said, it does take a few days to adjust to contact lenses. I also think they've gotten a lot better over the last 15 years.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Some reddit AMA with a dog expert said never try to attack a dog's head -- dog heads are armored and they're conditioned to ignore pain from head wounds. Sure, if you have total faith in Bruce Lee-ing an eyeball out that might work... but he said the fastest way to force a dog to disengage was...

    Definitely give contact lenses a shot man -- get the dailies. Going from nothing to glasses is a huge step, but contacts give you 100 percent peripheral... I really can't stand glasses in comparison; they're only good for early morning (letting your eyes clean out before putting lenses in).

    From my limited (3 days) perspective, carrying in yolo queue is all about leadership, not about crazy plays. There is practically ZERO time where pushing into the enemy base is the right move; herding your team towards neutral camps or even just to sit in a bush somewhere is almost always the...

    I don't drop my deadlift bar from waist-height out of courtesy (plus, that'd look pretty retarded for most of my sets).

    Opiate, I suggest doing some reading about nutrition and metabolism. That you can say it wouldn't surprise you to find out you're maintaining 6k calories a day means you're missing something. Unless your day to day activity involves hours and hours of intense exercise. At 6'1 200, I'd burn a...
