    Would personally say screw the mechanical hard drive if budget is that tight and get a bigger SSD. That's something that isn't really needed for gaming and can be added easily later for media storage. Or put that money toward a better processor. What'll he be doing that requires 16gb of ram...

    HDTVs

    If you're going from a high quality plasma and value picture quality then OLED is it. If you're not that much a geek or care more about screen size or your wallet, then get some middle-of-the-road good-enough LED until OLED drop in price or become standard, if either ever happen.

    Better Call Saul

    For the show to have balance in needs the 'boring' lawyer stuff, just like Breaking Bad needed the at-times boring family stuff. The story may be too slow a burn for some people, but they're doing it well and I would argue necessarily. I know some people treat modern tv/film like porn and...

    NBA 2015-2016 Season thread

    Green benefits greatly from playing off the ball and in the flow of an offensive featuring two incredible outside threats who also emphasize ball movement. Green isn't the type of player to carry a team on his own outside of the context of such an offensive. Whether one wants to value the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Dealing with shitty customer support, which is most of them these days? Recently had one for a Canadian/Chinese company who was instantly argumentative, denied their product was capable of defects, who ended up eventually replying with pictures from "honest" customers admitting they were the...

    Basically, Nick Young continues to be a drain on the Lakers. Not his fault he was being video taped, but definitely his fault for existing and never once making the Lakers better as an organization.

    EQ Never

    Crazy profitable? In the black by a large margin? You've never been wrong about anything related to EQN or SOE before, so I'm inclined to believe you. Really sounds like Sony made a huge mistake selling SOE! I mean, EQ 1 and 2 in the black by a large margin? Their latest title crazy...

    EQ Never

    It goes deeper. Think about the fact they thought it was a good idea to buy the company that thought it was a good idea to buy Vanguard. When you don't do your research you're left trusting the word of a company that has proven in the past to not do their proper research. Now some Chinese...

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    Wasn't helmets at the cost of changing facial meshes and polygon counts and making the character models look uglier and lower definition and shit. In the end, most helmets looked terrible anyhow. Capes on the other hand were awesome. Terrible physics, but at least looked cool.

    I don't think the concept of turning left on a green light is taught anymore. People often can't manage easing into the intersection and then turning when they have the opportunity, or when the light changes yellow. Get a flashing yellow left turn arrow involved and holy shit people cease to...

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    Yes. It was hilariously deadly. I loved those aspects of Vanguard. As has been stated to death, with more attention the game would have been amazing. Most fights were straight forward and boring, but those occasional times where the game systems were actually used were really fun and...

    Hella nod. Was pretty standard early on to form a group, run to the chunk you want to actually play in solo, everyone relog, then form the group. That usually bought you an hour or two before someone would crash and it would bug the group. So many strange bugs and weird coding. I remember...

    Most people didn't have time for 10 hour grinds in EQ either. The minority did. The rest of us didn't but still enjoyed the game because at no point was a 10 hour grind even remotely necessary. It was a luxury that a few had, most didn't, and I think gamers should be okay with that. The...

    J49: An Erotic Life

    True. I love when bands refuse to play their biggest sellout hit. I remember seeing Blur at X-Games and you know that 'wooohooo' song? They played it, but changed all the 'wooohooo' parts to shit like 'yeaaah heeeey' and 'Yeeeeeh Naaaah' and random shit. Was hilarious watching the crowd...

    Find out who it is and very kindly request they stop. If they give you attitude, goad them into an incident or two where they get heated and say dumb shit, record/tape/write what they say, exaggerate just enough that it sounds menacing (if it's not, but people threaten shit all the time), then...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    I dunno if he ever really felt they were inherently a waste in any game design, so much as a realization the type of game they started making didn't fit with overland dungeons. There's no point in having overland dungeons if people don't ever explore off the path of quest markers. And there's...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Hartsman used to post quite a bit (for a dev). He even responded to private messages. Talked with him briefly about the split in design philosophy with Rift in that it seemed torn between being a group-based explore-and-conquer game and a solo-friendly quest-on-rails. He seemed slightly...

    Crowfall

    Okay, you're right, not literally every single mmo or action/fantasy game from the last 10 years. Point is, it's an early class demo, looks pretty derivative, and saying something like "combat seems intuitive" at this point is really fucking dumb.

    Crowfall

    Combat seems intuitive because it looks like it'll play like every mmo or action/fantasy game from the last 10 years. Not that any developers have any reason to do anything different, nor that there is anything different worth doing at this point. But to point out combat intuitiveness based on...

    But, but after a first aborted attempt at getting people's money with name recognition and ideas alone and then stealing money they've now worked enough to replicate EQ mechanics with the Unity engine. They are making a game, and it's obviously going to be fun, just look at it. Now is when they...

    Depends on the items? Last few years everything I got from Amazon has seemed to be UPS, but the 2 tvs I bought and had to return were all other delivery services, at least one OnTrac if I recall. UPS pisses me off because they seem to be the most likely to toss packages, including my...

    It's not about the animations, but them promising shit they may not deliver? Animations at this point are only as important as their promise that they wouldn't show anything until the animations were reworked. It's not lying or making false promises or incompetence, it's just changing your...

    Had to google "thewalkingdeadtara" to even remember who that was. I thought she was just still a chubscout like she's always been. That explains it and her giant milk titties, though? And pretty sure her girlfriend doctor has been 9 months pregnant for several years now.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Have noticed a trend lately. I try to stream something like the NBA on TNT and my internet connection slowly turns to shit. Like 3mbps download. I stop streaming, reset shit, and it's back to 60. Start streaming and it gets suddenly slow again. Pretty sneaky of them.

    Cmon, best power forward in KG. Top 3 small forward of all time in Pierce. Point like Rondo with Westbrooks athleticism! Probably some dumb hyperbole somewhere I missed about Ray Allen. Sounds to me like the greatest team of all time to only win 1 championship!
