    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    What is the application? Is this a simple residential lighting thing where your lights are LED and you just want two 3-way switch boxes? Or is it something different? And it sounds like the two switches need to be 3 position instead of the standard 2 position (on/off) which would complicate...

    Well to be honest, when I left EQ2 a lot of the talk in generalWASabout how EQ2 wasn't WOW...you already have ingrained WOW hatred that is waist deep (often from people that haven't even played WOW), and all that a bunch of WOW exiles showing up would do is give those homers someone to take...

    Forgot to answer this. When it comes to gas lines, if your gas lines are all (black) metal and electrically continuous, you do not need to bond it separatelyIFyour gas appliances are connected to an EGC (equipment grounding conductor, the "green" wire). I think (I need to go dig a codebook...

    EQ Never

    Many of us have been waiting for something different and have had to wade through all kinds of MMOs that have only been tweaks of the underlying level/gear/content progression that MMOs like EQ1 were built on. And even SOE with EQ2 blew a lot of smoke up people's collective asses about EQ2...

    Willing to clutch? There are not a lot of studios (some might argue none) that have delivered on the amount of content needed or desired, and that's been true across nearly every MMO ever made. People can probably nitpick any MMO you could possibly mention and it isn't just Blizzard that has...

    People's viewpoints in large part depend on how they feel about what led to instancing in the first place. If you originally had no issue with competition for too little content and subsequent cockblocking (in a PVE game no less where there was few if any avenues for recourse) then someone may...

    There probably isn't much more to say at this point. Even best case scenario, if first impressions are good and SOE doesn't manage to screw things up at release, the game may end up like so many others and have people leave in droves a few months later when people get bored or start noticing...

    I'm going to love watching Friday come and go with almost no questions being completely answered and dozens of new questions popping up as a result. This thread is going to get even worse past Friday (something I didn't think was possible before).

    EQ Never

    There is nothing quite like writing off any future MMOs that aren't part of the EQ franchise simply because of "cartoony" art. Especially before we've even seen any true amount of in-game assets and people are going off of a painting on a wall. I had to listen to derps say this kind of thing...

    EVE is FFA in a sense, but there are penalties such as faction hits and the presence of Concord (NPC space police) who can warp in and wipe you if you trigger them in hisec (0.5 - 1.0). IIRC in 0.4 sec and below Concord won't show up to help if you're ganked (though in Empire space you will...

    Coffee thread

    It's probably due to having been in the military and later working construction. Also, I did some napkin math and while your 'average' espresso does have more caffeine by volume, to equal the amount of caffeine in 12 cups of standard coffee you would have to drink almost 4 cups of espresso...

    death knell The crafting (process) itself is terrible. Their economy is good because of a number of things, foremost in my mind is the fact that most things can be destroyed, crafted, sold, etc and replacements must be crafted. So you have a regular "recycling" of items, and often players...

    What is sad is that many of the mentioned issues were the same issues from months ago when I tried messing around with it. It was frustrating enough that my patience ebbed pretty quickly and the "mystery" issues that they had were mind-boggling (as was the constant "try another browser"...

    I thought you got a quote? Are you just doing it yourself instead? You can get aluminum 4/0 4/0 2/0 through 2" LBs, but one direction is much easier to come from and it also depends on what kind of cable you're using. If you're trying to send through a fully sheathed cable with those 3-4...

    I don't know what it is but whenever I get asked one of those"Tell us about one time your mega-awesome skills as a ____ helped you save the world"type questions, I fucking freeze up.

    Weird interview/job offer experiences?

    I've ran into similar stuff working construction; a lot of the employers of smaller companies don't have time to sit down all day for interviews and many dont have offices, so I've had to do a lot of impromptu interviews either in front of a job site or in someplace like IHOP or Denny's while...

    Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade

    I addressed AI above already, but I still consider AI to be a dubious replacement in what would otherwise be a PvP scenario against other players. And frankly many Devs have talked positively about the AI in their games, and 99% of the time it's turned out to be the same old shit. Except it...

    Yeah. IIRC he started the shamans because it was suggested to him in one of the FOH threads, then later he had a true Sam Deathwalker Max DPS epiphany and made a bunch of mages.

    Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade

    You really aren't asking the right question here. We all know that it doesn't literally have to be PvP, but that's not really the issue here. The real question would be why we or others would prefer PvP over PvE. I'm not some sort of PvP homer, but that's because 1) most PvP today blows, 2)...
