    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    This is what I woke up to today. The guys were working on a job for a wealthy family. Their security gate shut on my truck, and the safety sensors didn't work. And they are expecting me to pay for it, when the gate malfunctioned. We had the original company that installed the gate...

    I came back this weekend, along with some of the other guys who took off, while waiting for new content. Apparently, t5 will be out in May, and requires a cr of 84. My DPS toon is 87, but my troller is 79. So I'm trying to play catch up, so I can raid with him before t5 hits. The solo...

    Spartacus

    I stand 100% by my viewpoint, that the quality of story and acting puts GoT in my top five.

    Spartacus

    I read somewhere he was crucified in real life, so they went that route. And in the end, it doesn't matter. He's victorious in the afterlife. He fought the good fight and went to his reward.

    Liam finally made the character his own. Last season was a bit rough. Spartacus meets Crassus:

    What a powerful scene. Wow!

    Black Sails

    That was the only Starz show that caught my attention, that they advertised for the end of Spartacus.

    Fleet GPS Trackers

    I'm going with NextTraq. All I have to do is sign the contract and they'll ship me two units. I'll try it out on two of the trucks, if it's bug free, go to others. This week, we were worried about having to do lots of emergency clean up, and had to sit there waiting on the guys to call us...

    Spartacus

    It's in my top ten, but not up there with The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones or Mad Men. Those shows are fine art, this show is lots of fun. Flame On!

    Spartacus

    I was reading on wiki that the slave revolts did cause Romans to treat their slaves better, and eventually it was passed into law that no master could kill a slave. So after this, slavery started going on the decline, and the Romans started importing cheap labor gradually.

    Da Vinci's Demons [Starz]

    Looks too much like Merlin. No thanks.

    Spartacus

    Looks like I was pretty close. There was a victory of sorts. Apparently, Gannicus is gonna fight in the arena forever?

    Also, I expect an appearance by Varro.

    Screw the spinoff, the last Roman I liked was the Ass Raper, and he's no longer around.

    Spartacus

    Two hours until the end. My final prediction is that Spartacus and his generals die protecting the slaves, while they get into the hills and go free. But lots of slaves will die. After the credits, Spartacus meets his wife, Oenemaus, and Crixus, and they welcome him to the afterlife. They...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    It is boring, and the healing went slow. But you know it's time to slow down when you are in serious pain from doing your warm up sets. I couldn't even support 315 on my back during squats, or bench 275, because my wrist was so weak. I thought it was going to snap off. And my shoulder joints...

    New Rule: Should we cull all EQ-Neckbeard discussion from game threads?

    Given that we used to be on the same server way back when in EQ, I'm surprised an old school player like you would embrace Der Fuhrer.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I'm going balls deep on 6pm. Any more info (on what you asked), and it would be like posting a copy of my driver license on the Internet. Suffice it to say, for people with large acreage, they'll need to be careful. We had an Exec rent out a crew last year for one week. He paid $12k for a...

    I went to 6 pm, at the heavier schedule, starting next week. I'm spending their money at this point, not mine.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I've got to keep my anonymity, but the ordinance limits jobs to a certain size now. Anything else needs approval by the city, and the fines are high. Think $5-10k if you don't get permits (as a homeowner). It's an ordinance not many people know about. Why ask me? Because I own the...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    We've always had the policy of extending lines of credit to anyone. The policy has been that way for decades. It gets nervewracking at times, especially when you meet new customers and they have large amounts of work. One time, we met a new customer who had pretty close to 25k in work. After...

    And then they'll be gassing us ex-EQ players in camps.

    New Rule: Should we cull all EQ-Neckbeard discussion from game threads?

    And that's a bad idea, for all of the above reasons. The rule on FOH was that you have a right to be stupid, no one was banned for that. If someone is trolling, that's different. This is all a kneejerk reaction to one poster in the TESO thread, it shouldn't affect everyone else.

    New Rule: Should we cull all EQ-Neckbeard discussion from game threads?

    It's very clear there is an agenda afoot, you can swing polls more than 20% by how it is worded.

    What I Know Best: Game Development - Someone should hire me STAT.

    I fail to see how a discussion of game mechanics is a derail from a thread discussing MMO's. What are we going to talk about? The art and music and that's it?

    Spartacus

    I just got this from FB: "Tomorrow's forecast: a storm of blood." edt: I just noticed, all of the blood is on Spartacus, and none on Crassus.

    When they started letting us run Themscyra ten times a day, that was bad. The new quantum powerset sounds good. The guys in my league tell me I should come back now before I get too far behind. I didn't do any of the temp power stuff that came with the housing DLC. So I'm no longer...

    New Rule: Should we cull all EQ-Neckbeard discussion from game threads?

    No way. People are always going to compare the past with the present and future, and it's valid in the context of MMO's. No more armchair dev'ing? That's what FOH was built on.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Probably 70% of the people we surveyed on the phone say they watch 6pm, and we have zero representation at that time. I find it interesting that, for the most part, people calling off of TV have been affluent. We had one guy that was lower income, but he paid half of the job upfront before...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    That is logical, it's just my anus is puckered at spending more than 10k a month in advertising. Going 3k a month on the 6pm slot puts me over that. Logically speaking, I'm playing with house money, so why not try?

    The powers that be claim not many tokens are being sold, but I bet they are looking at the whole population of gamers. Hell, in my league, we had guys that had their complete set of t4 in a week. That was 51 weeks ago. I'd say that most raiders abused the hell out of them. That raid...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    So, I talked with the TV station, and for me to keep the same frequency (that I'm running at 5 and 6am) at 6pm is going to cost me 3k a month. Ouch. I'm on three mornings a week, twice a slot, in the 5am and 6am slots for 2k. I was wanting to spend the same on 6pm, but that would only buy...
