    New Progression Server confirmed

    I just might give this a try. What is the download we need for this? I have no clue what to box! Mage, Mage, Bard? Mage, Mage, Shm? Mage, Mage, Dru?

    Haha. Fuck that piece of shit. I am still salty about my random boot from guild for simply XP'ing in KC with Holo pals. Fucking nutjob.

    Complete and utter bullshit. When somebody loses weight, where does the fat go? | The BMJ TL;DR: You basically exhale it.

    So tempted, but I would only want to box and screw paying for 3-4 accounts.

    NeverGrind: EQ inspired, browser-based single player RPG

    I am just put off with the whole Hardcore mode. The only way to level is exactly how you describe by playing as ultra safe as possible. It is very little to do with skill as it is pure RNG. Fight a boss that spawns adds: he summons "normal" trash = fair win / He summons frenzying super buffed...

    Pretty much how every BT speaker I have ever seen works too. Hold the power button for pairing, otherwise it isn't constantly seeking for a new pairing.

    It's not just the processor upgrades like Mist laid out, it's also the Sunrise Point platform controller chipset upgades too. Native support for up to ten USB 3.0 ports, twenty PCIe 3.0 lanes, three M.2 Sata ports, DMI 3.0, etc. It's a pretty good leap over the previous gen. I already have a...

    No point in getting the -E version of anything unless you like to burn money. Skylake will be my first new ground-up build in nearly 3 years. Due here in Q3 I believe.

    NeverGrind: EQ inspired, browser-based single player RPG

    I landed a one shot kill on my wizard yesterday for 14k dps. I should have taken a SS. Highest chain I have had the patience for is on my 97 Ranger. 350+ mobs in Hell end zone (with Nalatos boss). That put me in the top 10 on the leaderboard. I am sure I can go to some lowbie zones and chain...

    Torrents

    Funny thing is, I haven't pirated games in well over a decade. If you wait long enough, they are all pretty damn cheap and don't even get me started on the awesomeness of Steam sales. I torrent the fuck out to TV shows and movies, although I tend to purchase BluRay copies of the things I really...

    Chappie - Neill Blomkamp's new film

    I really wanted this to be great. Unfortunately you're left with 90% of the movie with white trash SA gangsters. The VFX were definitely top notch, but that is really all that I have positive to say. HUGE tech plotholes: Want to know what that level of AI should look like? Very long...

    Interstellar (2014)

    A few of you mentioned ejection seats. Completely plausible. NASA (real one) had discussed at-length having some type of ejection system post Challenger and Columbia disasters. It was eventually scrapped, but the idea was definitely considered. I would not at all be surprised if it is...

    Prices are starting to get better overseas, but I capitalized on the insane markups for many years. I work a government job, so I had access to government mail services. Basically, every year, I would build the most insane over the top spec gaming PC. I would use it for about a year until the...

    Smartphones

    I concede.. Just a personal peeve of mine that people harp on about cases for phones and they end up big rubberized bricks twice as thick as the standard phone. I have no idea how people put up with it, nor how people can be that clumsy. The day I drop and break my own, I will just suck it up...

    Smartphones

    The point being, I am not stupid enough to drop my phone from that height. At best, it gets bumped off a table. Still never use a case, still have never had a problem to date. Why fugly up a phone? If you wear your phone on your belt like a grade A fag, sure.. get a case and call it a day.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Pretty sure the big money maker in all fast food is soda sales. Way back when I worked fast food at a Taco Bell, the manager broke down the cost to me. They charged 99c for a large and the actual cost was 7c, most of which was for the container, straw, and lid. Sure the prices have probably came...

    Smartphones

    Dude is dropping it at frigging chest height+ straight onto concrete. Who the fuck drops a phone from that height? I have owned smart phones for pretty much as long as they have been on the market and I have NEVER bought a case to date and yet to have a casualty. (Only exception being my Galaxy...

    I caved and bought an S6 Edge to replace my S5. I too am skeptical of the use of the curved "edge" screen, but I am going on a leap of faith that developers will come up with some cool app features for it. REALLY digging the lollipop OS over kitkat. Quite a few differences and feels overall more...

    It really isn't about productivity (FB browsing) as it is the huge security risks. You are bringing devices that interface and integrate over wireless connections. That is a HUGE no no in the IT world. The wrong piece of malware could get these devices broadcasting all sorts of information from...

    Home buying thread

    Re the bolded part: Pretty much every single mortgage works this way. You pay all the interest on the front of the loan and towards the end it biases completely opposite. This is why people who flip houses every 5 years usually have fuck all in equity (in a flat market). Making some advanced...

    The thing is, if you have had Shake Shack, you know their burgers aren't THAT huge compared to say, 5 Guys or whatever. That is the shocking thing to me.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Quick talk about some quality calories. Holy shit, Shake Shake has some calorie dense foods! It's not like their burgers or fries are huge portions, but they are calorie bombs. I had a "meal" the other day with 3 items and it was basically my entire daily intake of calories. Absolutely worth...

    NeverGrind: EQ inspired, browser-based single player RPG

    Thanks for the continued Legendary work. I kinda mentioned it on the NG forum yesterday, but have you considered another implementaion of armor sets? RNG seems to be pointless, as I think it is absolutely impossible to get all the pieces of 1 class before you actually defeat Hell level game...

    Nepal 7.9 Earthquake

    I am right at sea level and did a section of the Annapurna Circuit a few years back. Again, it really just depends on your suscepibility and hiking methods. Having access to altitude prior to a trip would be hugely beneficial, of course.

    Nepal 7.9 Earthquake

    Killi also has more than half a dozen routes of varying length and difficulty. Just depends on what you want to do. Generally speaking though, you are right. If you don't know any better, one could blaze up the easier routes and get fucked by the altitude.

    Nepal 7.9 Earthquake

    Good point. I have a friend here who is on attempt #3 at Kili. First time was just shitty luck and caught a cold on the flight over. Did not complete. Second attempt was turned back by altitude sickness. God damn altitude sickness, levels the playing field. You could be a world class olympic...

    Not a huge soda drinker at all, but I never liked Baja Blast. Just tastes weird to me. My #1 is an ice cold A&W out of a can, closely followed by a regular Mountain Dew.
