    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Anyone that was remotely surprised that an old god wasn't really dead apparently missed out on the lore bits given out during, I think, Uldum, about how the Old Gods could not be killed due to how integrated they were with Azeroth and thus what we fight and kill isn't actually 'dead'.

    The Ask Anything Thread

    If it's humanoid, most likely it's arms/hands being directional in relation to it's perception of where it is. Having full control over your z-axis makes things a little silly in terms of direction due to the nature of not being limited by gravity. It's not much different than being underwater...

    Because that never occurred to me when I grabbed the gold-hemmed set? One moment I'm just chillin, grabbing some loot; next I have a giant arm flailing at me. First thought: DO A BARREL ROLL. Then it was time for murder.

    Never had a problem with Ceaseless Discharge, dunno why the hate for that boss. That gameplay video made me wet. Didn't like the torch thing, totally agree with ripping Dragon's Dogma (although, fuck oil. I don't care how easy it was to stockpile, there were many times that I would forget to...

    To be fair, Furor has always had a clean look from what I've seen. I agree with your assessment though.

    That was more a by-product of DWG and Havel's than Endurance being broken. 20 Endurance with a Havel's got you 90 Equip Load (+20% if using RoFP), which let you wear any weapon + shield + brigand tunic (for Poise). Hitting 30 Endurance got you 115 (before RoFP), which lets you wear Elite Knight...

    League Of Legends

    Part of being on a team, even if it's cobbled together by a matchmaking system, is coming to terms with the fact that not every person on the team is equal. The fact that they went 0/8, as stated above, doesn't mean they didn't contribute. I've gone 1/11/0 before and won the round FOR my team...

    Hearthstone

    I'm a sucker for card games, so this doesn't look horrible. I think it might actually be kinda fun as a filler for nights when I don't have enough time left to do much else besides a few hands of cards. Used to do t hat with M:tG but don't have anyone near me that plays since moving. ;-;

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    It is, and for some major gas chains it is also like this (Mobil being one, at least all of them in my area offer a discount for using cash.) The big chains just charge everyone the same, so cash customers end up getting the shaft there because they're paying for credit processing despite...

    League Of Legends

    Don't be the one to engage unless you ARE playing an actual tank/initiator. Using your Kat example, your job is to let your team initiate and you target the lowest person when you can kill them, and roll your ultimate/shun-po off that. Learning when to participate in a teamfight was the hardest...

    Eh. Xin's damage is three hits followed by his ult. If that's gibbing your ADC, then they need to build a bit of defense (ala mogs). His base AD is pitiful for a bruiser.

    League Of Legends

    Don't know about that. I've seen some wicked CC-heavy comps (think AP Sion / J4) that dominate bottom lane in Gold I matches. Seen a bit of it in the Challenger matches too, albeit mostly stuff like Ryze / Fid or Panth / J4.

    The other thing that is usually left out of the average salary statistics is the small business owner(s) who don't have any employees. I've had plenty of friends say my pay is a bit too high to be realistic for the work that I do, until I present them with my tax filings for myself and my...

    5 Best Games of All Time

    I actually really thought the rape scene at the end of 2 was a great way to end that one, and especially when they tied it into 3. However, the execution of the story in 3 was lackluster and uninspiring. They did butcher the atmosphere in 3 as well, other than I would say the Bridge level and...

    F.E.A.R. was pretty solid, really enjoyed them. Was disappointed by the ending of the series in 3 though, there was certainly more room to do more. Ah well. And I totally disagree that SS2 was not as good as it's made out to be. Same for Half-Life.

    So long as the materials don't require you to blow up said raid gear when it's relevant to repair, or force you to spend excessive time farming in the raid zone to acquire enough material to throw yourself at the next boss for a few nights. I dig the idea, though.

    Fair enough point. I just want to point out that despite the fact that Iamfor an AWB, I'm not advocating for one. I really do understand the need for weaponry, both in the military and in private life. I don't agree with it, but that doesn't mean I'm not supportive of those who own them and...

    Couldn't agree more about titles. The silly ones they have in the SC store for EQ1 currently are along the vein of what I was suggesting. The earned titles should certainly trump the purchased ones, but there should be unique purchased ones that stand out to be a carrot for consumers. 'Vonador...

    No, I don't like firearms at all; but my comfort level means little. I understand the NEED at this point in our culture to allow citizens to posses firearms of some type due to the availability of them for the unsavory types. The point of the example flew over your head, apparently. Citizens...

    Lawn Care

    Try to let the seeds germinate for about two weeks before you let the dog back there. Gives the them time to get some roots down, and allows the soil to compact a bit around them. You can let him out sooner, but it might negatively impact the growth pattern (read: coverage) of the seeds.

    I do, but not for any of the reasons that are popular in the media at the moment. I've always been against 'assault' weapons of any kind, regardless of why you claim to own them. It's stupid to put any sort of high-capacity power (and that's not high capacity clips, don't get confused) in the...

    I think the idea of paying for faster leveling is counter-intuitive to creating an engrossing world. If you're leveling faster, you're spending less time in the leveling content. If by what you're suggesting is faster alternative leveling (like the pre-1k AA bonus in EQ1) then that's perfectly...

    Lawn Care

    Oh yeah. Also, if you do go the seed route: buy the seeds, buy top soil, cast the seeds, then cover them in top soil (less than 1in.). Helps boost their early growth, helps protect them from birds, and assuming you don't pile the soil on, won't deny them the air they need to germinate. Most...

    Lawn Care

    If you're set on seeding vs. sodding, then a mix of Perennial Ryegrass and Kentucky Bluegrass is really your best bet. Neither are very shade-tolerant, so if you have excessive shade coverage due to trees, you're sort of stuck with a yearly re-seeding. A good mix of the two, if you buy seeds...

    Proper type of grass depends on where in the country you live, the conditions of the area (high shade, no shade, etc.), and how often you're willing to maintain it. I do this shit for a living, have for a while. Lemme know those conditions and I'll shoot you some pointers. Zeroscaping isn't a...

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    I really enjoyed Skyrim. I tried to, having come off of a massive hatred of Oblivion. I adored Morrowind, but as said earlier, there's no way I'd go back and sink the time I did into the game and feel like I accomplished something. Your statement is pretty spot on for the feeling I got having...

    News to me that games are supposed to piss me off. I thought I played them to enjoy the game, relieve some stress, and occupy myself for some time. Thanks for informing me what I should be playing games for because I wasn't sure until now. Whatever was I thinking before?

    He probably killed the Asylum Demon, died on Taurus, and claimed the game was too easy. Dark Souls would have to take this one from me. I love the game, but some of the 'core' features are gimmicky ways to penalize you. Every soul and humanity you hold disappearing when you die, and then...
