    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The highest ilev item you can get before the raid is gated behind rank 25 of any faction. It gives a trade skill upgrade (for 1 item) to 395-405. So the bleeding edge guilds will need to try to max out the explorers rep before the raid starts (doable with a brain dead farm). Also (afaik)...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I paid nothing and got something, however little that might end up being, so I am happy with it. I still hope Microsoft buys Actibliz and I can convert all my gold to MS store creds though. Then I may never play WoW again.

    I am running Azeroth Autopilot Reforged, so It auto accepts/turns in all quest and cancels all cut scenes, but there are still unskipable RP. I used to mute the whole game, but DBM audio alerts were helpful, so go used to some game sounds.

    There should be a bunch of places that would let you buy some cuts for your own stuff, but it's a hell of a time finding them. I have tried a 3 or 4 times to find a place in DFW that will do CNC wood cutting, using the internet and dont see shit. The closest place that I found that will do...

    I started the xpac with only game sounds/voices on and every time an NPC talked I heard the immortal words of Dr. Lexus playing in my head: So I turned down the sound and put on some music, just like the good old days in raid. I also gave up playing last night. They fixed the connection...

    Looked at the Drakon creator after logging on to wait afk. I know its been said before, but the visage male form still looks like a woman's face. It's somehow worse than blood elves. I slapped the heavy mustache/beard option on, and I was met with the crowd of "men" in Life of Brian.

    Maybe we will get a wave of bankruptcies that will clear out most of the shitcoins. Aren't there are over 2000 coins traded on Coinbase & Kraken?

    Wowhead has has commissioned a guide for every spec on "why should I play or not play" each and they seem like a pretty good run down. The DK one says that their tree has a lot of damage in it (maybe the highest burst tank spec), but it is tied to standing in their DnD at all times (they get 2...

    Europa Universalis IV

    All this talk got me wanting to play though a game again. The metagaming pull is hard to fight, so was going to finally do an ironman run in Asia. I have 100s of hours played, and not a single achievement (not that I care much about them). Also never played in Asia. I was tempted to try the...

    My target's target heal was always a macro (since at least WotLK). I only used it on my feral when I wanted to be lazy and needed to dish out pathetic heals to do more damage. I think I originally set it up for PvP on druid DPS. Once they nerfed powershifting, I pretty much quit playing feral...

    The LFG tool has a tab for custom groups (think it is at the bottom of the page(?:emoji_nose:. You can search for terms, or just see all the groups that are going in custom. There should be raids marked "invasion farm" or something like that. Ask to join one or all and join the first one that invites you...

    If you want something more tactics oriented, the multiplayer on Divinity: Original Sin 2 looked unique. Never did the multi in it, as I don't want to wait around to coordinate with people's schedules, for an RPG, but I remember reading about a bunch of people that liked it.

    Be Aware: Small, neat little after credits scene. They actually did it. Kept the quality up through the whole season and no real stupid shit. Every character felt like a real person, acting toward their own motivations. Best live action (TV show or movie) I have seen since Chernobyl.

    No need to spend 10 to 15k, just do the invasion for invasion currency, then buy the 252 gear. There were so many people doing the invasions, gear didn't matter, just join a raid though the LFG tool, if you are 60, and go around taping and looting things. Heal specs are the best for shit gear...

    A sub can be be heavily dependent on placement. It's been a while since I looked over at the two main audio forums, but I vaguely remember reading something about two subs in the rear corners are now a favored placement. So it may be better to have a second 8, over a single 12. I'm not sure if...

    It's an agreement that you enter into when you buy a house to keep up standards to keep property/resale value high. You don't have to buy in a area with HOAs, it's a fucking choice. My parents are in a area where half the huge development is in an HOA and half isn't. It is a noticeable...

    It would be nice if it was more, but best guesses: This could be due to the Microsoft talks, as in Microsoft would want to negotiate with them, and not have a already existing contract in place. It could also just be a negotiation tactics, and like many negotiations, will go down to the last...

    Yar, I guess that means the that you can run a few dungeons while leveling, in order to skip some side "fill the bar" bullshit. You will just miss the rep they give, and it sounds like rep gives a decent amount of stuff... so you want to do almost all the side quests.

Maybe the crawlspace properties are older and the most in need of repairs, or some other factor for why most of his pictures look to be crawlspaces.
