Weird that people are bumping this with their old school favorites -- I stayed up until 3am last night in a final push to finish my iOS playthrough of FFIV. Still a fantastic game. If you happen to be playing it, once you get to the moon, go straight to the Hummingway cave to get the Level...

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/A...tive_Evolution For the swarm! Given tonight's dinner I'd get the power of salmon. So I could swim upstream and shit. Fuck yeah.

Yes, electrical motors are friendly to total off/on. But in a hybrid, if you're at low speed, the gas engine turns off and will turn back on once you hit a certain speed or if you accelerate quickly. As for the constant on/off and wear, in a hybrid it isn't a problem because their gas engines...

I don't see what the big deal is with the car shutting itself off when you don't need it. Is there a delay in turning back on? Hybrids have been doing this since they were created. But I guess since they have an electric motor for low speed, it doesn't really matter when you're starting from a stop.

They're doing mini behind the scenes YouTube vids. There really isn't much here (each ep is only 2.5 min and no sound clips from the new record), but there are little blips of knowledge like the existence of an instrumental song, live strings, a 20 minute epic song, and a bass solo.

Not a huge fan of the text (though the X one is better), but love the premise

Just beat the new dlc. Loved the storyline on this. I skipped the previous two expansions after being underwhelmed by the pirate dlc. But this one is totally worth it. Re: newest DLC...

Nice find. There's some talk in there too about his new steampunk series,The Cinder Spires. It'll be more like Codex Alera with multiple viewpoints and it's influenced by Firefly:

Adam Savage (of Mythbusters) loved it. http://www.tested.com/art/movies/456...ic-rim-review/

1 second exposure. Couldn't find my tripod shoe, so I ended up handholding and bracing myself against a wall.

Great shot of the firework. I had a great view for the fireworks, but the wind was blowing towards me, so the smoke made the majority of my shots hazy. Probably not something that's easily accounted for, but something to think about for next time.

Good timing. A bunch of good apps just went freehttp://gizmodo.com/the-best-free-app...-fir-700455273. Infinity Blade 2 is a fairly amusing ARPG-lite game and Sword and Sworcery is a fun adventure game. I've heard good things about Traktor DJ, too.

I have a 2.5 yr old iPad 2 and it's also pretty slow. But I was just attributing it's slowness to the act that I've upgraded my desktop and phone but not the iPad. So everything around it was getting faster, while it stayed the same. I'll probably sell it and get an iPad 4 though just for the...

The thing about cast iron is that it is dense, giving it a high heat capacity, meaning it holds more heat. This is good for searing because more heat can transfer into the meat in a shorter period of time, leading to better crusts. Edit: I don't think it's completely necessary to have a cast...

If you're looking to save a bit of cash while shopping for your pan, go to TJ-Max or Ross or any one of those reseller type stores. They carry brand names at a pretty steep discount. It probably won't be in a package and might be stacked with other pans, but a good quality pan will take a lot...

Replying to a post from almost 3 months ago... But we have a Nespresso Citiz with Aeroccino (automatic milk frother). The Nespresso capsules themselves are pretty good: convenient, good flavor, every now and then can be a little watery though. You have to order the capsules online and in...

Probably obvious, but the best thing to do is talk to her. You don't want to spend a good chunk of money on something she doesn't want, from the stone (diamond, moissanite, etc) to the style of the ring itself. IMO, find a good local mom and pop place with a wide variety of stones/settings, and...

One of the things I love about this album is how it can be framed as a concept album. Giorgio by Moroder sets the theme for it, where he mentions how he wanted to make a record with the sounds of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and a sound of the future, which Daft Punk do throughout the album. But he...

Still love this album and listen to it end to end almost daily. Giorgio by Moroder is probably my favorite track at the moment.

FF8 has a mess of a story compared to FF9. After you travel to the orphanage and everyone remembers that they know each other, the game takes a huge nose dive in story with all of its space travel and time compression nonsense. In FF9, the plot takes a jump with Garland's big plan to have Terra...

Sounds like fun: http://kotaku.com/four-things-to-kno...tina-509743760

No love for 4?

Any thoughts on small crossovers? My MIL gave my wife a bunch of money to get a new car, telling her to get a Subaru Forester (the MIL has one, my wife hates it). My wife currently drives a Corolla, which is why we're thinking small crossover. Really, the only restrictions are AWD since the MIL...

He's good in Masterchef -- more praise and less shouting. But yeah, he's at his best when he's in teacher mode:

If you're looking for isolation at the gym, I'd just get a cheap pair of IEMs. These are only $16 and still sound great http://www.amazon.com/Creative-EP-63...ive+headphones

Didn't he make a thread about singing trees? I can't remember the point, but I think they were tied to curing cancer

Good episode with an X-Files plot. I'm glad they're finally tying up the Juliet storyline next week.

Goddamn, stoking the fire with this interview. Loving the detail about the overarching chord progressions through songs.

Not my photography, but I thought I should share Jeff Bridges' work. Some very cool shots in here. http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/0...e-abides-wide/

I would imagine that all the clipping that goes on in MMOs would be a pain in the ass in terms of immersion

Let's not forget who's driving these robots

So I wasn't following the scanners, just this thread. I thought they had him cornered in his house? and then there were reports of him running? so they lost him?

Froma Rolling Stone Interview:

Polygon wrote up an awesome article aboutMaverick Hunter, a canned Mega Man FPS Turning the blaster into a machine gun and charged shots into missiles just doesn't feel right. The dash attack and using enemies weapons was interesting, but I wish they had examples of bosses and their...

Episode 2

Coffee and seafood are what I think about when I hear Seattle. Though not sure how that'll fly with a pregnant wife... If she's up for either though, my favorite cafe wasVictrola Coffee Roastersand for seafood (oysters) wasThe Walrus and the Carpenter. But yea... coffee/oysters + pregnancy...

A great hands-on vid on the Oculus Rift and playing Team Fortress 2.

There's a touch panel on the side of it that supports gestures

It's cool and all that someone made an app to identify your friends... But humans are really good at that shit. Why use an app with 90% accuracy when you can just take a second look at the person and realize it's your friend with 100% accuracy.

I rolled a Great Valkyrie the other day, and while I really like her + Isis on a healer girl team, the hp of the team is pretty low (<6k). Great for rolling pengdra dungeons, but not much else, I've found. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong? GValk leader; Alraune, StE, Echidna, and Lilith as subs.
