    EVGA shill here: Literally never had a problem with any of their cards in the last 15 years. Quite possibly the only non-Intel company I will buy without a second thought. If you had problems, you might be the outlier. Their return/salvage policies are usually pretty broad too. You can...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Margarine is a chemically different thing than Butter. Theoretically(totally not defending this Memphis Meats company, just the concept) this is the same genetic construct, just grown in a lab vs. being grown on a ranch. Definitely different concepts for comparative purposes. I will...

    Shakes: Doesn't matter what you add or when, as long as there's enough moisture to actually move the contents. Then it's a time thing. If you don't blend long enough, it'll clump up. The "froth" of a blended shake happens when you have too much liquid and not enough content. Otherwise it...

    What do you do?

    That's the problem with Liberal Arts degrees in general, I would imagine, and Film Studies degrees in particular. Unless you are literally some rock-star behind the camera/director's chair/editor/whatever, all an AS in Film Studies means is that a four year is missing out on 1-2 years of super...

    Vicious triangle. Cerrone continues to be one of my favorite fighters, even though I do believe he's destined for gatekeeper status and not a champion.

    Deadpool (2016)

    I enjoyed how the author constantly takes pot shots at anyone who isn't a 15 year old white male as someone with the same mentality as being the target audience. SJWs gonna SJW, I guess. Saw the movie again, and it holds up. Even though I knew certain jokes were coming, I still couldn't...

    What do you do?

    I did, part time briefly (while still running two restaurants) and I have no desire to ever do helpdesk shit for a telecom again. Now I'm just intentionally unemployed (school!~) and doing random contract-type network-engineering crap on the side. My shitty A.S. in Network Engineering will...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    If you already have some protein shake shit, there's not really any reason to grab something else before you use it up. You're in the beginner stages of lifting; your gains are going to be good pretty much regardless of your macro/micro intake. If you are getting 60g from the shake...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    He effectively said that he thinks the old camping mechanic from EQ was bad grinding. I can already feel some rage from the mmo-hipster crowd by that admission, and also by his love of using the terms "variety" and "options" when describing types of advancement. Those words also anger the...

    Yeah OHP means overhead press, not "one handed press" hah. 405 is still absurdly strong since professional strongmen are doing that with a little extra for competitions, but certainly not impossible.

    Protip on lasagna: don't use shredded long fiber cuts, like chicken/turkey breast/thigh or most cuts of beef. The process of cutting and serving will absolutely destroy your presentation. Either small dice it or use ground. Also, vegetarian lasagna can be pretty amazing if you use decent...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    1g of protein per 2 lbs will give you reasonable "gains" at the level ZWH is at. Just make sure that you are consuming at least your maintenance calories each day including the 2-400calories extra on your lifting days. If you don't like eating (or have chemical means of avoiding consuming...

    Revival - Lovecraftian Horror Roleplaying Sandbox MMORPG

    Well, there's no GM events on non gold servers, which have an additional cost attached to them. Not even "rare" but flat out "no" (according to the dev in the shi..er, Lethality's big post from page one) and it's not just housing as an entry to play. Specifically, boats, permanent mounts...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    My first character was made the day after Druzzil Ro went live in like, October '99. The Seekers/Vindication drama and Hoss, and Mythic Legion, and the rest was such a delight. And a huge pain in the ass towards the middle/end of Velious. Memorable times, to say the least.

    The Metal Thread

    From the preview image (and my not knowing or listening to Ghost B.C. before) I expected the attached song to be some black metal mic-gargling crap I generally avoid. And instead, I hear some completely clean vocals over 70s psychedelic metal. Now, I've listened to all major albums completely...

    Deadpool (2016)

    Yeah, basically. It's deadpool being... deadpool. You don't need him cruising around trying to find Killbrew or anything; you just need him to be running around being Deadpool. And it will almost always work.

    Deadpool (2016)

    Finally saw the movie (I hate opening nights these days) and it was amazing. The story was a little flat but the humor more than made up for it. 9/10 easily, and I can see subsequent watches being just as enjoyable.

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    I mean, what are they going to do with McBride that makes internal sense? He's either a Reiser-esque shady W-T guy, or potentially a hacker guy or something. I highly doubt it'll be Kenny Powers in space, though that would be pretty funny. Fassbender is almost 100% just going to be another...

    Indie punk band out in the boonies is at a random venue, member of the band accidentally goes into the scene of a murder/execution/something.

    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    Not to drag gamergate/riot thread whatever into the thread, but the author is Shaun King. The white guy who is pretending to be black. I'd take any article he writes regarding coverups/race/privilege with a -huge- grain of salt. Even with that said, expecting an entire climate to change...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Anomalies do exist! For weightloss concerns, simply putting in time at the gym (and actually lifting, not texting or talking about lifting. For fucks' sake I hate that shit) is going to be a pretty sufficient calorie burner long term. Though I'd stress proper form over even starting to...

    I think he might leave the watch because a group of the influential people at the Wall stabbed him to death. I mean, I certainly would leave with that criteria neatly checked off.

    Revival - Lovecraftian Horror Roleplaying Sandbox MMORPG

    Eh, that depends on their pricing model and how much of the game is effectively locked behind cashwalls and RL-time resource regen that can be bypassed with cash. Granted, from the get-go this was aimed at whales specifically, so perhaps there's enough whale cash to keep them profitable post...

    Most Hated Man in America

    I like Vaclad personally. It's like, "son of" or something. But then again it's Cad, the millionaire lawyer from Texas. Him not having 6+ doctors in his family would probably be more surprising.

    Might be an issue with skipping leg-centric workouts. Otherwise, your squats should dwarf the shit out of benchpress. Skipping Legs Day? Not Even Once. (if you have a legit medical issue involving motions that would correlate with squats, disregard) The calf thing is forever going to be a...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Yeah, get a modem that your provider deals with (or take a small gamble and just get a docsis 3.0 deal) and then get a decent wireless router with 6 ports+ ports. Comboing them is just asking for sub-par performance. Those gateway router/modems that cable companies like peddling are usually...

    Winter 2016 Anime Thread

    Yeah, there's a boatload of random streaming sites that get stuff pretty quickly after they release. I watched all of 7 Deadly Sins on some random site that I've forgotten and they were up like, 12 hours or so after the initial airing.

    EQ Never

    Careful, you might summon the mmo-hipster crowd to tell you that the timing and technology of the time had -nothing- to do with Everquest! And that 90% of the population bounced when WoW came out because SoE had destroyed the game, not because it was in any way plausibly better. Joking...

    EQ Never

    EQ had all kinds of absolutely cartoonish things in it. Blue dwarves who look straight out of Ralph Bakshi animated movie; the Animated Hand; Like, all of Ak'Anon. Had they the tech when the game first came out, I wouldn't doubt it looking a lot closer to modern stylized games than any weird...

    Yeah, I really wish more games were like the more realistic looking EQ 1 before the luclin revamp. Not cartoony shit like WoW/etc! =| EQ1 was heavily stylized, and the Soga models that most people used to replace the shit-tastic ones in EQ2 were also heavily stylized. Different...
