    I'd give it 0% odds. Now if/when they ever make the "Seasonal TLP" server concept they were talking about - I bet it would reset after PoP being done.

    Yea, haven't had much interaction with Tikkle/Snikkle - but he was a genuinely decent dude the one time I did interact in game - and his stream is decent. Would suck having to use a Hoveround or whatever to get around like I'm sure he does, but he's seemed like a genuinely good person and solid...

    If you're a "beta" by choice is it really a "beta"? My goals are X, and I get them on my own terms - doesn't seem like a beta to me. If I want to kick in some doors and pwn people, I load up something where I'm doing it under terms I enjoy - I don't personally enjoy competition under terms that...

    I hope you realize he was making a joke - our times do align, so should they fall apart, we'd likely pick up a few - but we're not merging or anything or going after open world stuff seriously (if it works out that we can at times, we will though, but its not part of our modus operandi). We...

    Tues/Sun officially, Thurs optional (usually get decent numbers for it and do real targets - with folks leveling instead only had like 20 last night - prolly back to "real" off nights once folks are all done leveling though)

    Brinks is still around, pretty casual these days though. And I meant the TLP1.0 era - with how quick it ran and the merge TLP1.0 is all a blur to me of server names - can't even recall which DHS was on of the two back then besides it was opposite IV - we didn't share the server until merge time.

    LOL? We're not merging with OGC. And if we're "idiots" because of VP medallion drama, not one of those cases was someone that wasn't KSed (or threatened to) first that I've seen/heard of thusfar. We don't move in on spawns that are already camped, and we defend them if we're there first - like...

    Producer letter talked about things - including saying the Fabled LoY (lol?) Raid and "another bonus" will go live the 16th. I'd imagine the other bonus will be double XP.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Considering the pic he posted says 100% Beef.... I'm guessing.... Beef. Although since it doesn't say KOSHER BEEF it's probably not up to par with most Beef dogs.

    Once or twice there's been a preview image that has been slightly off in final because of a late change right before printing. Not holding my breath - but it's possible.

    Hopefully they've got some sort of notation on the reverse side to keep track of CMC, yea.

    XCOM 2

    Sounds like a bad CPU fan to me. Had the same problem with a stock fan that was getting close to overheating in some other stuff but XCom2 was finally what started pushing it over the edge regularly into the 61-70C range - after swapping to a new beefy fan in the same cases it's occasionally...

    Because having a 5 CMC be weak to 0 CMC hate cards like Ratchet Bomb made a load of sense? Tokens being treated as such makes sense, DFC not so much.

    Well for starters the contents clock in around 27 lbs or so - and most of it is on high quality cardstock (settlement track is a bit chinsy - and the book isn't bound the best for how often it needs to be referenced though), unique artwork on almost every card, and around $200 in minis - based...

    Regular ($400) price last I checked includes free shipping. So it's more like $65ish saved. But yea, on anything so tremendous of cost and savings feels good.

    It wasn't $295 w/ free shipping at the end of P/O's - it was $295 w/ paid shipping. Still have my receipt for $335 total. And yea, KD:M is amazing - I'm just dreading seeing the costs on the expansions once they go to non-KS.

    Yea, I had some ISP issues screwing me on Wed/Thurs - and now that I'm really XPing I'm targeting a level-ish a day - if I get beyond that awesome, but not killing myself to race to 60. Got 164 more days or something close to that to hit L60. (and even then it's only AA to worry with)

    XCOM 2

    Yes, all Firaxis games to my knowledge "seed" a turn's random actions to prevent extreme same turn save-scumming. There's a Mod that looks to reset the seed though, not that I'm keen with using such things myself.

    XCOM 2

    There's some similar mods that effect enemies too - I think one helps them hit more if you're owning the hell out of them... forget the whole list.

    It's part of how they fudge the numbers in the vanilla design to prevent you getting "too unlucky" after a while.

    36/37 is high enough to group with 55 or so - you should be fine. Not sure how many people are willing to let a low level group with them to help them along, but never been a huge deal for me at least.

    I personally loathe Kunark overall - but change of pace and more room to spread out will be good. Plus leveling will occupy me for a bit.

    It's not instant - I've logged in through mine when I forgot to turn it off on my alt at least once. It let me in but disconned me when I zoned and wouldn't let me back in until I un-VPN'ed. And that account is still running today. Admittedly I've only logged in that one ~5 min stretch though.

    In the situation you've been discussing over on EQLive, I'd try running a long RJ-45 to the router OR running both machines wirelessly - as well as making sure you guys use separate common hotkeys. Literally the situation you're talking about with 1-2 extra boxes versus y'all never does that...

    Comparatively I meant - lots of stuff treading on either being serious or about consequences - usually it's light in regards to consequence. Usually the impact of previous actions has been slight, ever since the "Squashing the Beef" one though, they've really been getting taken to task for past...

    Shrug - I just know it was the initial thought the wife and I had with the placard -- "That looks like a horror movie poster - weird for the show to do that" was a conversation we had when it came up in the TiVo listings well in advance of the season starting. And lo and behold tons of dark...

    Immediate impression before starting a game proper (my machine's got an issue right now where it's spontaneously rebooting at times... and it did that as selecting race) - in the options menu there is a Turn Off GNN option - so no worries if they get too annoying, I suppose. Update #1: Neat...

    GOG.com had a -5% coupon in my mailbox this morning - DLing from them as we speak. Fluxing between 15-30 min to go, apparently their servers suck for stuff this large.

    Yea, must just be so it's less likely the corners scratch the other cubes, literally can't be seen in the online pic even super-zooming - but looks solid to me, shame it's like a 90 min hike to get to the nearest IKEA for me though.
