    Ford was not laughed at for the concept of applying the the assembly line concept to the manufacture of automobiles. He wasn't even alone in doing so. His success is more likely related to being small enough to iterate on poor design until he had a very good design, and mass manufacturing...

    Yea, they've done it with a few brands too. I can live with it. Apple would have you think every computer in the world is an Apple from what we see on film. Yet walk into an office building and chances are high it's wall to wall IBM compatibles.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    People tip bartenders when they want to get overpouring, which will get them fired if their manager finds out. You order X, I pour larger proportions, you pay me extra as a tip, and we're colluding to steal from my employer.

    Craig is a good Bond, but I think most of it is the writing. A lot of past Bond films were almost slapstick, and they're not doing that shit now. I didn't like the ending sequence at the old place. Computers blah blah, I'm sure they had some old WW2 bunker they could have used that wasn't...

    What European country do you profile as?

    The frankish version kicked way more ass than the celtic one. Gaul got annexed by Rome almost the minute they expanded beyond the peninsula. I agree with you about the point that the celtic version shouldn't count, but there is no way that the celtic version was in very many of those conflicts...

    Path of Exile

    Shadowbane did this. I get pretty frustrated in any game when I can't control my character for extended periods. I can understand 1-3 second tactical delays cast by my enemy, but not when they can be chained back to back. WoW was (is?) a piss poor example of being CC locked from 100% to 0%...

    14 years ago they'd be retarded to think EQ was a sandbox because they had UO, the game it unseated, as a fantastic example of what a sandbox was. And EQ was very very different from UO. EQ had bosses to kill, gear and content that became ridiculously trivialized by levels, and you were forced...

    When you say named do you mean group content? Because there wasn't any HoT or VoA group stuff that took 15 minutes to kill...with a group. Aggro Meter and Offline Trading are cool, but collection and banestrike/slayer are gay. Banestrike is just weak as hell. It's not worth putting on your...

    Yea, and they're annoying as shit. One of the crappier design elements of nullsec is dealing with AFK cloakers. There are fucking zillions of cubic kilometers in a system and a cloaked ship can be AFK in less than half of one. And you can't uncloak them unless you can come within 1.5km of...

    That's only because of the 15 level limit on shared tasks IIRC. So if you're being carried by a 100, you need to be 85.

    EQ was the contrast to UO's sandbox. EQ was not remotely sandbox. You leveled up to combat some select elite content, and xpacs just extended the cap. Rinse, repeat. EVE is the successor to UO's sandbox, and WoW is the successor to EQ's storybook. That most didn't participate in the story...

    Well you need a healer to go with it. I've used them to tank most of HoT/VoA at level, and easily when they're leveled into the xpac past the xpac they're in. They can't position for shit on multi-pulls, and you'd do well to debuff named. Otherwise they're effective.

    I am so very bad at this. I've yet to leave the atmosphere. I ran out of fuel I guess, but when I added more fuel dealies, I went really slow and started this odd wobbling in flight. As I applied more power, the bottom popped off and I fell down. I've been going without parachutes because...

    The small size is by far the most disappointing aspect of the game. I was like, "I'm going to get this, and get my brother a copy, day 1, and we'll do a region." Now I'm like, "...fucking Maxis." I'm going to wait for some reviews before I decide to buy even one copy now.

    Speaking of that, any chance you could sort out better control for audio? I'd really appreciate the option to disable the AA ding, for example. AAs are gained so quickly now that the sound loses significance. Another frustration is the rapid back-to-back "melee swing" sounds and the...

    Yep. You can farm the back end until you level past 71. Then the temple goes green. Just run off the cliff when you zone to Paineel and fall into it the bad way. You can click the rock and go up the tunnel of golems and gargoyles to get to the temple.

    Pretty much this. My thing is that a lot of "leet PvPers" want easy kills, not to BE the easy kills. A lot of griefing and generally poor sportsmanship bring everything down. They're environments of wolves that drive away all the sheep then get sick of fighting other wolves. A good PvP...

    Yah, is good. If you actually need money it drops loads of gems and jewelry too. I really don't like leaving the hole either. Most of the good XP after the hole has VASTLY more HP, so it's a rude awakening going back to something "appropriate".

    I liked it. I don't know why some hated on it. It was better than a lot of other Bond movies. The villain's unnecessarily convoluted plan was lame, but that's generally how things roll in these films.
