    Survivor

    I tried watching this a long time ago, but was put off by Americans on television visiting other countries and acting like complete dickbags to foreign locals. As if we Americans don't have enough stigma as horrible tourists, I don't want to sit and watch it on my TV for "entertainment".

    Holy shit with the Overlord rank requirements! Still waiting another month or so for my Elite status. It's probably going to be a hell of a long time after that for further upgrades .

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I have found alt tabbing away and then back to the client resolves it most of the time. Definitely some serious bugs with this client. I have had far too many deaths that were purely due to shitty client issues like you mentioned or the numerous disconnects. I think they are far too frequent...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Jyson - Enchanter Adoria - Cleric Hadan - Druid I wish this EQW client wasn't such a piece of shit. If you can get WinEQ2 working for P99 client, I am sure it can be done here. The stuck cursor, window resizing / movement, etc are all a pain in the dick to deal with.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    So, I am getting about 3-12% packet loss to server. No idea if it is just me? Also, what the fuck is up with this ghetto version of the windowed launcher? Can't we use a normal version of WinEQ? This is horrible.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Well, the server isn't being deployed like EQ Mac either. It is progression of some sort starting with original vanilla Old World zones (plus a couple extras), which makes the original rares a valid question. EQ Mac server opened in 2003 for PoP, so all those old world rares were long since...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I have been asking for PL for a week now. I finally got Zanderr with some downtime last night, but with 1100 people online, there were no PL places available. Crazy population.

    Yep, which means that people can basically solo (3 box) play whatever camps they want. Kills community bigtime.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Galadriel has one of the rings of power, hence her crazy bitch mode during that fight. I think that was the reason she could banish Sauron (weakened with no ring, no physical form, etc). Nothing to do with her power "as an elf".

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I would honestly drop my P99 toon if they made this server with a no boxing rule. Or at most, limit it to a 2 box.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Regarding the Box of Abu-Kar, unless you really want the weight reduction, have access to Deluxe Toolboxes (10 slot / Giant capacity) for ~1p from a PoK vendor. PoK also makes spells fairly trivial to attain for all caster classes.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I agree with the dry conclusion. I know WHY they made these, they wanted something on the menu a bit more friendly for eating on the go. Surprisingly many people fail at eating tacos / burritos without making an absolute mess. It's Taco Bell's version of a burger. It just isn't all that great to me.

    Eagles fly 10,000 to 15,000 feet (3.0 - 4.5km) high at about 65 mph. They can glide for hours without rest on warm updrafts of air. With their acute vision, they are able to spot prey a mile down below. Eagles swoop down at amazing speeds of 200 mph... The furthest distance shot with any bow...

    NYE and Uber

    Been said but needs repeating... Uber's business model is based on surge pricing. NYE is probably the most expensive Uber rates of the year. Outside of that, on any normal use, I love Uber's service.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Casual movie goers and non-book readers would have lost their shit wanting to know who the fuck the enigma of Bombadill was. The entire trilogy builds up this fear of the power of Sauron and the corrupting power of the Ring. You'd have the scene where Bombadill just puts the ring on and shrugs...

    Considering those are going for asking prices of millions of plat, (Fungi Tunic and CoF <90k for comparisons sake) I highly doubt anyone would give one away!

    I purchased 8.1 Pro from that guy and didn't go through that headache. I loaded from a Windows media creation tool, then installed with the GVLK key license, then a few days later activated with the seller's key via the normal windows activation tool. Appendix A: KMS Client Setup Keys

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I just started up a chanter here on P99. Is there a guild I can join with some forum pals? Just want some chit chat and entertainment. Doubt I will be looking to raid anytime soon. Oh yea, I am also looking to sell a Gauntelts of Fiery Might for ~25k or taking interesting Enchanter gear...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I actually uninstalled after playing for a day when I really started to think about putting up with SoL xpac and AA grinding all over again. Fired up an Enchanter on P99 instead. It's a shame there couldn't be some world where we had Vanilla, Kunark, Velious, no SoL, and still have PoP for...

    You are really missing out on not having an SSD as your boot "C:" drive. Can I ask why you have 500G stuffed on your C drive now? Sure, the 1TB version is nice but god damn is it expensive. There's no reason to have so much stuff jammed up on your boot disk. I use a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro and...

    If you want to keep to "budget" amps, I think Emotiva offers some decently priced amps. There is quite the lengthly thread over at AVS forums about them. Something like the XPA-5 should work for you. Amplifiers | Emotiva

    Windows 8

    Didn't know that. Sounds pretty damn annoying to be honest. Plus, if you still have the old versions installed it is a gaping security flaw in that malware could be used to target those older versions still lurking around your machines. *facepalm*

    It actually looks like Kodi moved to full release version. I never used XBMC before, so I can't comment on the differences but I love this client.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    LoTR, by most accounts, was done as well as possible for a book to film adaptation; especially considering the EE versions. How can you get that much sand in the vagina over the LoTR? Arwen wasn't necessary, but it wasn't terrible either. The guy IS a whiny cunt.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Figured out a workaround. I created a second EQ directory and launched the other toon from that account. Going with an Ench / Clr for now. Might add a Dru for a trio for snare, regen, ports, etc

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    I actually had no idea Connelly's health was the reason for the CGI. I like the guy's previous work and find his humor great. But I also think you need to think of the good of the movie. If the guy is in that bad of shape, its time to move on and find another actor. If they were that insistent...

    Ok, clearly I am doing something wrong here. How do you box? I have created two different logins and two separate chars. I can't seem to log more than 1 char in at a time without the other being booted or linkdead out. I am launching each with the EQW link on a PC. Am I missing something?

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    That 1080p version is probably some upscaled bullshit. It's only 2.5 gig in size. The lowest 1080p rips are usually right at around 8 gig. Lots of legit 720p rips out there though.

    In real PoP, we still had problems on raids with mobs having a limited number of debuff slots. Our necros had issues getting dots on raid mobs in PoTime at times. Not sure if this will be addressed on this server. Knight tanks were good, but you still need warriors tanking the raid bosses of...
