Needed something computer related kind of quick, and I knew it would take longer if I waited since Monday is a holiday. Ordered it around midnight Tuesday or early Wed. morning after midnight from Newegg since it was much cheaper than Amazon and had it shipped 2 day delivery. I figured even if...

I liked the ranger epic, haste on one and slow on the other. I know a lot of rangers still used the slow one for years in certain situations and then swap it out as soon as it proced, especially solo or in small groups. The haste/atk offhand one got replaced pretty quickly and banked.

I think a part of it comes from the definition of "friend", seems more to me some random person that sent you a friends request rather than what I would call a friend.

I'll be back to the thread when the banana shit dies off. Never fails, find something slightly funny and ride it to death 1,000 times over. Move on.

Looked at the fried motherboard today. Had stuck it outside since it smelled pretty bad. I have 4 memory sticks in it. Apparently some type of short started somewhere as multiple pathways were burned/charred and one 1/4 of the board had all the caps blown up/swollen in it.

Someone did the same to me. Cut off the top portion with the contact info and slapped their logo. I complained to the guy doing the interview and he called the agency right there and told them to fuck off he was hiring me anyway and if they wanted to bitch he would stop using them for the shop...

Listening to non Americans pronounce Gila on youtube is pretty entertaining. Jlla-Ah.

PATCH DAY! Spend all night/day trying to get on and find out all the shit that was broken that would screw up your character and find out what you could exploit.

I'm not even sure what PI is. When I cam back my hauler had it's name changed and it had a PI hold.

I guess I missed out. I have like 8 friends on facebook. Three friends and 5 family. All of them don't really post the shit you hear about facebook, just pics if the go on vacation or some such.

I could probably do the named cycle in frontier mountains in Kunark still, each corner of the map had a named you had to kill off all the stuff on the rotation to get stuff to spawn. Track was pretty handy. Doing reavers in city of mist was entertaining as well.

I don't know the answer but I am "in game" a lot but either afk or semi ak a lot of that time. About 2-3 hours is all I can put into the game, not because I don't have the time it just works out that way by my choosing.

Thinking of this today while I built a new computer. One of the things I enjoyed in EQ was if you were camping a mob you could see if the mob had X item because they would equip it such as weapons and I think some of them would proc, I could be wrong but I remember trying to get a lupine dagger...

It's hard to get any info about alliances/corps thru looking it up unless you know someone in the corps which kinda sucks. How big is the blades of grass alliance. I kind of think (not sure) that name came from either an offshoot of the blades of wrath guild in EQ or was first made to poke fun...

If you look at the tags/labels on most electrical stuff it will say how many watts they draw while running and another number that is larger for the watts drawn during starting. Leave a safety margin after you add it all up. Your electrical system from the generator, transfer switch, your...

I don't even know. I built it about 10 years ago and opened it up about once a year to suck out the dust. At least one of the caps had blown from the 30 seconds I looked at it, no idea if it did that before the meltdown or during.

If you do much drywall or tile work I have a one word answer. Mexicans. Seriously. You can't do the shit for yourself cheaper and they apparently are good at it from the womb. That's assuming they are not all in Baton Rouge doing it now. Everything else but roofing I'll do myself, for tile...

About 20 years ago Texas started a campaign against left lane campers. They had ads and billboards everywhere about "not matter how fast you're going, pull to the right if someone is behind you". They really pushed the "you're not the law, stop trying to enforce the speed limit" deal. They...

My motherboard literally melted Sunday night. Smelled something funny and before I could get the case open it was really letting the smoke out. That was interesting. At least my Antec case was not damaged and my drives are OK. On the MB where one of the major chips was pretty scorched, I guess...

The make fiber deals to use on USB that can go on for almost forever. It has a USB connector on each end and then it has fiber the rest of the way and turns it into a fiber usable signal and back again on the other end. Not cheap tho.

Had a talk with a guy running a null sec corp. He contacted me after my post about a corp. So long story short we got to talking more about EQ than anything else. So I will talk to him again in a day or two, what do I need to ask him? What am I in for if I go? Never spent any length of time...

Tails gates is a pretty common deal on trucks if you don't have a locking tailgate. People ding one up and go to the mall and drive around to find another one of the same color to get one. The article I got that from said they got 48 vehicles in one night. They knocked out the power to kill the...

You know what wasn't great? That freaking cleric/shaman/chanter that went LD on ever other pull and it was the same dipshit every raid.

If you join a wormhole corp you live in the wormhole and basically never leave? I assume there's some kind of POS or some such. I quit just as they introduced wormholes and never did anything with them.

Houston dealership. Gone to Mexico now I'm sure.

The guy that had so many corps was in a wormhole. Had a few others, I'm gonna look into it for a few days and then get back to them.

Semi related but I saw uber lost a billion dollars in the first 2 quarters of this year. I don't understand the attraction of those who say you'll be able to request a car that self drives and comes and picks you up and takes you someplace. I mean that sounds nice, until at some point you want...

So I posted on the eve forums, looking for a corp. One guy contacted me and he had been in 11 corps this year lol.

Spoke too soon lol. Somehow I disabled the speaker part of the headphone and unplugging/plugging in again doesn't fix it. Microphone still works tho. I'll delve deeper. Edit - fix it kinda. I don't get the option to make as default device for either the speakers or the headphones, but I get it...

Thanks I tried googleing it and I got some strange results or couldn't word it properly.

I got a new cheap headset. It works OK when plugged in, but my other speakers then go mute of course. The problem is my computer is like 15 feet away from where I sit and use the computer. Anyway in windows 7 to be able to switch between the two without just unplugging the headset. The headset...

If you get playing and are interested in PVP you can watch this video. It's extremely long but you only have to watch the first part. He picks on particular ship and how to train for it early on in your character. The biggest part is he goes over all the stuff nobody tells you, how to pick...

Video of someone doing null sec pvp on a 20 day training account if you really just want to jump into pvp.

I'm not an expert. But I think I would pick a goal or a playstyle you enjoy and go from there. Early on you can change pretty quickly from ships etc..Play enough to find out if you enjoy missles, blasters, drones etc...and kind of work your way up that particular line for a while. Can join the...

I watched part of this video. It's 4 years old, but it shows how less twitchy pvp can be and how he does really well just based on his knowledge. He goes thru a thousand things instantly in his head while pvp'ing. Getting all that info in your head ahead of time is where the time comes in for...

I think they took learning skills out of the game. You could always buy a plex, sell the plex for ISK and then buy a skill injector to get 400k SP to get a quick jump start. I think the Eve University Corp runs classes, it's just a corp for new players.

Misunderstood question.

This is something that's probably well known but I find it kind of odd. While ship shopping I've noticed a fair number of them with rigs and a fair amount of equipment much cheaper than the unfitted ship. I picked up a ship and got 40m of drones I didn't have a use for and unloaded them and the...

Yeah for a full yard, but a lot of stuff travels from point A to point B that didn't originate at a trucking company. Anyway, they'll get autonomous figured out given time. But I'm not a fan of not having an option to manually drive the car. Since this thread popped up I keep thinking of lots...

Well for individuals I don't know, but a couple years ago the option for us was to overpay 3 drivers to drive from MI to Louisiana, or hire a plane to do it for 300k. Pretty sure those guys were speeding. When I came down sick I was driving to work to be there at 7 and left at 5:30 am. Boss...
