I'll admit that the leveling experience, especially in the first 15 levels, is ass-tastic. It completely assumes that you have never played an mmo before. But really, complaining about the graphics? I can only see that if you hate japan/japanese art styles, but it literally has the best...

Yeah, call them Chinks like every other racist. Jesus. Seeing this tomorrow, and after reading the reviews that weren't McQueen, I'm pretty stoked.

Probably because it is still more than a month out(though barely), and they aren't getting much of a cut by hosting the client. All the other stuff is entirely on SE's servers, aside from the method of logging in. Not a lot of overhead used by steam, so their percentage is probably pretty...

I've only finished JK, SW, SC, and BH, but easily SW is the best I've run through. And like was mentioned earlier, it really feels like the darkside world quests were tailor made to fit the Sith Warrior mentality.

It always seems much shorter than it actually is. Sign of a solid show, in my opinion.

Since rerelease, I'd have to say that FFXIV has delivered substantially more bang for your buck than any other mmo on the market, especially for being a paid service. They've added like 15 4 man dungeons, an entire category of puggagle raid content, all of Coil (actually I forget if 1-3 was...

The point you should have taken away from my post is that they have a history of doing shady things for a competitive advantage, and that's why they get harsher fines. Incidentally, if Suh was caught stomping on someone's head now, he'd most likely get banned from the NFL and lose all his pay.

Uh, the whole video taping other teams thing?2007 New England Patriots videotaping controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The idea is that they have tried to get a competitive edge by violating the rules before, so them doing it again in some fashion isn't immediately that surprising...

I did the GMG discount deal at release and it was 22.50 after it, and then only 2.50 because I had 20 in random promotional credit. Good times. I'm lucky that I normally work during prime time, but even off hours are gonna be shitty on Gilg. Sad times ahead, I think.

Yeah, I worded that kind of wrong. Just like any lift, you aren't using the same muscles for both entering and exiting. You are still using a lot of the same support muscles, but it puts more work on your glutes/hamstrings/lower back and takes almost all the pressure off the quads. You aren't...

I'd agree with that. Usually I know within an hour of playing something if I'm gonna purchase it or not, and if not it goes bai bai. Otherwise I generally look at steam and grab it because I much prefer using the steam api than most of the cracked version methods, especially the ones with...

Like I said, it really depends on what you are doing in the gym. From a general health standpoint, you shouldn't be putting more weight on the bar than you can reliably move around without injuring yourself. So if you are deadlifting and the weight is too heavy for you to reliably lift and...

Well... you -should- if you are lifting something that you can get up but can't reliably get down. To me, unless you are training for something, that should most likely not be a common occurrence. The power lifters who are pulling up 400+ on their deads should probably drop it, but really if...

Devil's advocate here, but I sort of see the pirate stance, to a degree. One of the problems with current games is that if they are a sack of boiled rat-shit, they tend to either have no demo or a demo that incorporates none of the obvious problems occurring in the game. So either you can't...

Couple of problems. You need to define challenging, as currently WoW Mythic raiding is the arguably hardest shit out there, with Wildstar maybe second place due to the simple lack of people actually sticking around to endgame content. EQ was never challenging PVE content, unless you mean...

Eh, I think you took the wrong meaning from the "work smart, not hard" saying. I've always taken it to mean that if you can use your mind instead of your back to make money, do so. Didn't strike me as saying to not have a good work ethic, just to not physically break yourself if you have other...

Faber has had some really bad luck in some of his fights. The barao rematch where he gave the thumbs up to the judge and the judge stopped the fight was kind of BS. And in WEC when he was fighting mike brown and he broke his right hand in the first round and dislocated his left thumb in a...

Yeah, it is totally going to be manufacturer dependent. Mine are Gold's, and like 1/8th an inch larger than the other 45s I have, which are Olympia. Not a huge difference, but when setting it down I know it is just setting on those two Gold's bumpers.

I believe the dungeon finder/raid finder is cross server, if only because in months of using them I've run across the same person like... once. If you want a pre-made (and largely, more successful) raid group, you want one of the high pop servers so you can use the party finder (different from...

I'm sure the 6k figure was an exaggeration, as that is eating like... McDonalds for all three meals, and not skimping on fries or shakes. That is a -shitload- of food. But yeah, if you aren't lifting for 11 hours a day, you aren't burning 4k extra calories. And even if you are lifting 11...

Doesn't look like decline-capable. Honestly, you only need bumper plates at 45, so you can get the cheaper plates at all other weight considerations, and depending on the size of the bumpers (my experience is that they have a slightly larger radius) you might be able to get away with just...

1: Yes, same class (arcanist) so leveling either levels arcanist, thus leveling both. 2: Yes 3: Different stat allocation for each job 4: Scholars get their own version of raise, works the same though. You get it as an arcanist ability, so either can use it. 5: Scholar healing -is- the pet...

Yeah, for being a Trial, that shit was rough for a pug to handle if they had too many new people, as the experienced people (esp. those using Trial roulette) would have absolutely zero patience. I didn't have major problems with it, but it really hammered home how some people just sort of...

That's a pretty beastly bench, and yeah, definitely get a rack and use that with it for maximum awesome. Just cut the bench T bullshit I mspainted out and that's a great place to put any super heavy weights/the bench when you aren't using them. Also, 7'6" is pretty standard size for most...

Yeah I'd recommend the same thing. When I get around to finishing my home gym (just need the rack) I'm gonna ditch my combo bench and just get a normal one. I don't see myself doing 350+ unassisted benches at home(or probably ever), and for squatting that's plenty and then some, so set on...

I saw that movie opening night with a friend, and the entire theater was quiet as shit for most the movie. Then the part where she opens up the file and the bug falls out and -everyone- in the theater minus my friend and I jumped and yelped. We just started laughing. But it was pretty much...

The leveling wasn't too bad as a lancer, and when I came back after forever post release, they had added these grindable super epic weapons that beat the shit out of dungeon boss drops during the leveling phases. But it definitely starts to slow down and suck in the 40s, and when the mobs only...

Depending on how much room you like around you and if more than one person is going to be doing shit in there at once, you could probably get away with a 12x16 room no problems. Use the rack for bench pressing and slide the bench out of the way when squatting (unless it is a combined...

Games such as FFXIV (alright, just FFXIV) have been pumping out raid encounters and new mob designs and new equipment art and all sorts of crap like bi-monthly for over a year and a half now. So the resources are definitely available to some companies to pull some of this stuff off.

I'm a big fan of procedural games, in the zero exclusion sense. If content generation is going to be dynamic, don't let it alienate players from being involved in that dynamic. Quests can spawn items/monsters that contribute to other events going on in some meaningful way, so that even the...

The worst part of being an adult is having to respect the wishes of other adults when it comes to their health. My mother passed away last September after having COPD for two years. She was told that if she stopped smoking, she would likely have 5-6 years left and while she was still terminal...

2-4 games at worst, and that's a super extreme worst. The NFL isn't going to say their top dollar talent are cheating shits, no matter how obvious it is that they are. And they aren't going to ruin an entire demographic worth of income to make a point. This is boxing with pads, ladies.

Mad Hax. Also, my highest desynth is like... 50. I should work on that~

Yeah, I've made a couple of million from the sealants. The market for them on gilg fluctuates a bit, but 70k is pretty average.

That sounds like you're projecting, Drakurii. We're all friends here, except Azeth. No need to hide behind falsehoods like that. Dallas' line is looking better, maybe we can make another run. Maybe not a successful one, but at least hit the playoffs+ again.

The Fate parts of those books was by far the most painful. Oh and always having to run back to the mines for 10 of a mob that spawns in three places. Absolutely ridiculous.

Honestly, unless you are at least past the Animus books part, I'd just get the ironworks 2hander and upgrade it with the weekly. It is a -ton- of grinding to get the books and alexandrite out of the way, before you even get to the lights.

If I'm on (Elrezz Darkraven) I can invite. There's also a few other people with inviting abilities still in ISIS after I went on my promotion spree. Cerpin Taxt, Gori Lla, Dameron Halasborn, Pajac Raginheart, Voldeth Hopebringer, Disgrim Eternalism. Those are the ones recently logged in from...

As a member of ISIS (in ffxiv) I would like to say that we will not bomb this thread. For to bomb it is to make it stronger, and the last thing we like is strong thread. How else do you rip burkas apart if not for them being weakly threaded? What were we doing again?

It kind of prefaced the MMO as an anime genre, along with .hack/sign. Personally I think SAO is superior, along with most of the first season of Log Horizon, but it was pretty stellar at the time.
