    EQ Never

    Was there even talent left at SOE to make a good EQ-esque MMO, or even a bad one... or do much of anything in the mmo genre in how many years? I mean, aside from Free Realms and turning Vanguard around.

    I didn't compare it to Vanguard. I compared the fanboys of this to Vanguard's fanboys. Keep deflecting.

    True Detective

    So, he breaks in, gun drawn, sees the kitchen (I think it was) is clear, then comes to the murder scene, sees it's not recent, and sighs in relief and puts his weapon away? As if a murder scene is proof nobody is there, or would have any reason to be there, because it's not a recent murder...

    Sure, why not? I don't think it's actually bad, yet. It just seems rushed and falling prey to a lot that is typical of a sophomore effort. It happens all the time with shows, movies, books, etc. You work years on a passion project, it not only gets picked up but gains traction and acclaim...

    If you search for deals, buy comparable parts, do rebates, look for free shipping, don't have to pay tax on newegg, etc, there are times you can actually save money. Purchasing power can certainly drive the price point down with pre-builts, though, so it can be hard to match their prices, but...

    Yeah, good point. Is it episode 3 when shitty, overwrought, mumbled monologues by VV start getting better?

    Wow. Just wow. I mean, I know we go back and forth and all, but that one really hurt my feelings. I didn't think that was at all what you were saying. I thought you were actually saying.... something about... basketball. Just wow. That one hurt... Not nice at all.

    Ah, so he comes across the obvious murder scene, but the blood isn't fresh. Sure, music is playing and the place is fucking creepy as hell, and now there's proof of the murder.... but not recently. So, yeah, probably best to holster your weapon, not clear the house, don't be at the ready as...

    I'm mostly just entertained. Win, win for me. If the show is great, I enjoy it. If the show is really terrible, most of us stop watching. If the show is good (which it is) but has quite a few glaring issues, people don't just say 'it's good, but has issues' but instead freak the fuck out...

    I think we're officially approaching the point of having retarded True Detective Fanboys the likes of Vanguard. Step 1: have a ton of hope and come running to some forum to have everything you believe in validated. Step 2: tell the people who criticize the game to stop comparing it to...

    Are you saying anyone who thinks Love might sign a long term contract for the security is dumb, or thinks Love is dumb?

    Not really. The main reason to is because you're a hobbyist and/or enthusiast. It was never really about saving money, though, more about getting what you want for the purposes you need. If you're looking for a new gaming PC and are nerd enough to be on these forums, in this thread, you're...

    I wish one of you saying you don't understand the criticisms of the show would actually explain or refute those criticisms. And no, sorry, crying about people comparing it to season 1, promising it's only been [insert episode] so it has time to get better, or saying the thread sucks, isn't...

    Like I said, if you can talk someone into new technology and out of the comfort of a tower. And you were the one that introduced the discussion, and you're not the only one that reads the thread. If someone can learn from your family tech situation, to be as kind as I can be, that's good...

    My mom loves the ASUS transformer book I got her last year. She's a techno dummy, so had to set up the metro screen for her and show her how to do things a few times before she understood it. But she's running netflix through it to the tv, using it for email and browser games, hooks it up to...

    First, you're acting like no other NBA team ever has a chance of winning a championship, despite the fact the last two champions were not the Cavs, nor Lebron, and in fact he lost to both of them. Now, granted, Warriors don't have the room, and Spurs don't seem to WANT Love (ouch?!). But...

    Nobody is saying season 1 is perfect, but there are objective reasons it was well received. It's the most logical comparison because a) it's the same fucking show with the same writer everyone gave a ton of credit to and b) season 1 managed to do things season 2 isn't doing from a...

    Look, you know something feels off with this season. I'm just trying to explain why. You can pretend I'm just an outlier hating on a show just to spite you, but look around at all the people feeling something is off. How long are people supposed to wait for it to get better? Do you think...

    Probably true. And probably a theme: you're so corrupt; so corrupt and you don't even know it. It's been so easy you can openly discuss kickbacks by simply saying "hey, get me that kickback or else" which felt clumsy even for people who have only known corruption. But, maybe everyone in the...

    Season 1 depicted the complexities of human nature. We had people who did bad things, but were still at times good; or the 'good' guy being show to sometimes be bad. People who had gone through tragedy, but in a strangely optimistic way kept going forward. People who had every reason to be as...

    Made sense to me. I mean, on the orders of a crime boss who has him by the short hairs he's investigating the strange house of a deviant recently tortured and murdered and the first thing he does when encountering a puddle of blood is holster his weapon. And you think he's going to clear the...

    For power supplies I think having more than a little wiggle room is a good idea. Your PSU isn't something you want to push like other components. Give a good bit of headroom and it'll work better/longer if/when efficiency lessens over time, plus compensate for spikes and expansion room, etc...

    Both are kinda cheesy at times with cliches and shaky acting: basically exactly what we can expect. Killjoys is fun, though. Sometimes stupid, silly fun, but fun. The actors may not be great alone, but have pretty solid chemistry that comes through.

    My best guess is Love leaves for a team that isn't so passive-aggressive and dysfunctional as Cleveland, where he can not only put up stats, but be the star, and have a great chance at winning, and when he does Angelwatch will spin it like Love was a bitch anyhow and had no loyalty and Lebron...

    To be fair, it seems he does it regularly without repercussions.
