    Source? Everything I have read has been rumors. The consensus seems to be $400-$500 for the 8 core. Again, no pricing has been officially released.

    EQPVP

    Unless they make some custom class tweaks, PVP in EQ is just unbalanced as fuck towards certain classes. Others classes are nearly useless. I speak from R99 experience.

    Saw you on. Gave you a shout, but no reply. I will try and catch you again next time I am online.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I have some War gear, but keep in mind pretty much everything costs 6k per item to unattune. I think you might be a little overly defensive on your box setup. You could probably ditch the cleric for a pure DPS. Hell, I was doing PoFire minis with my SK / Shm combo when it was 2 box limit...

    HDTVs

    Stupid and short sighted on Samsung's part, sure. Honestly though, do most people use the built-in smart TV functions? They tend to be inferior, non customizable, and slow compared to a million different options. I will continue using my Intel NUC as a HTPC with Kodi / Netflix and it works 1000x...

    Fast 8 (2017)

    The first movie was just Point Break with car racing instead of surfing. Pretty much an exact rip off.

    Hopefully it will get better as the tech matures, but yea.. DisplayPort annoys the fuck out of me. I run dual monitors and sometimes I just want one monitor turned on while I watch a movie or game or whatever. With HDMI, you can just turn one off and its no issue at all. However, with my...

    Survivor

    Weird, no Ponderosa vids have been uploaded for any of the 3 voted out before the final TC. I don't hate on Adam as much as you guys do. The guy legit was torn about being away from his mom. I don't think he played it up at all. In fact, he only confided with Jay about it. Him and his mom were...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Just saw it. Fucking great flick! Everything I expected it to be. My 7 year old loves SW, but I am not sure this one is aimed at his age group. Definitely has a more serious tone, as everyone was expecting. As said, a considerable amount of cast dies. Nothing overtly gory. but it is violent. I...

    My McD's hash browns are always crispy and hot. You must be getting some pre-cooked shit that has been sitting around if they are soggy.

    The fuck does anyone carry cash, let alone a separate wallet for credit cards? How many cards do you have? I've got one single Visa card that I actively use for every purchase imaginable with a $50k limit and earns me rewards via points. I have 1 backup Master Card with a $20k limit for...

    Yea, people have been shuffling them thru via delete / reclaim tokens, trying to parcel without collecting, etc. It will be interesting to see how many slip through the cracks.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Not sure if any of you sub, but might be worth it on a burner TLP account ! *edit* Err.. already nuked as of last night. Seems people were using /claim and getting defiant gear. Not a peep from DBG yet. Some people have some stupid powerful gear running around TLP servers!

    VPN advice and recommendations

    Just FYI, some private trackers (like BTN) will ban you for using VPN to access their website. You can use VPN while torrenting though. I also use PIA (Private Internet Access). It's pretty baller and you can select different geographical regions around the world. I can stream BBC, etc with ease.

    You're absolutely right. AMD was owning the first half of the decade of the 2000s. C2D was a hell of a breakthrough though and AMD never caught up. We need competition again!

    Semi-related, but AMD stock jumped nearly 9% today. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.: NASDAQ:AMD quotes & news - Google Finance *edit* Up 100% since June this summer & 230% year to date! Holy smokes.

    A comment from that thread sums up exactly what I feel: "As soon as AMD is taking what Intel feel it is more than it should, Intel will release whatever they have been sandbagging for so many years."

    Desktop Computers

    Intel has had more than a decade of monopoly on performance. Monopolies tend to keep innovation at a minimum. We need AMD competing again. Back when we had AMD's FX lineup of the mid-2000s toppling Intel's performance crown. Shots were bring fired by both companies driving innovation and...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Once you knew what you were doing, you could be off the island in 10 minutes from starting a new character. But yea, it should have had an option for starting new on island or "been there, done that" and select at level 1 option.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I wouldn't blanket statement "early EQ2 was really good". It had glaring issues like shared xp debt, whatever it was called (soul shard?) that you had to recover to regain your full stats on death. Died deep in a dungeon and everyone bailed? Too bad for you. Gimped stats for days until that shit...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I am pretty sure they had the betrayal quest in from the beginning. Some classes were neutral, others were distinctly either good or evil. You could change your sub-class by betraying your home city for the other. I actually did this in the early days from Qeynos to Freeport. There was a pretty...

    Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

    Trailer looks good, but fuck I am not falling for this again. The last few shit-tastic movies with ghetto bots and all kinds of other nonsense. I will simply wait for reviews. Not an opening night flick for me.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I liked the newbie island concept as well. I thought it was a great idea for new people to the game. In EQ1, you fired up and had to make Class / Race decisions before stepping foot in the world and knew fuck all what those choices really meant until weeks, if not months worth of levels down the...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Keep in mind, the graphics were advertised to be hugely scale-able so when newer tech came out, the game would look better and better. Unfortunately, during the development years, PC tech was simply amping up processor power in raw speed on single cores. EQ2's design was assuming we would see...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I thought EQ2 voice acting was ground breaking for the time. Gone were the days of reading walls of NPC quest text and guessing key phrases. Some of the voice acting was done quite well. As mentioned, Heather Graham did Antonia Bayle of Qeynos and Christopher Lee (Saruman from LOTR) voiced Lucan...

    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    I never was interested in Landmark, but they fucked themselves on the project when they went from a pure creation game to implementing combat and all other sorts of nonsense. They tried to milk a full "game" out of Landmark and it basically killed any interest the creator types had for it...
