    Smartphones

    Still fucking boggles my mind that the US is screwed over by this phone carrier locked bullshit hardware. Pretty much everywhere I have been overseas is just slap whatever SIM card you like in the phone and you are good to go! It's been that way on my iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4...

    Computer Issues

    I assumed it worked for some period of time and then froze. If it is immediately freezing, try going into Safe Mode and see if you get a stable boot. At least you can somewhat determine if it is hardware or software related.

    Computer Issues

    Heat (check fan operation and temps of CPU / GPU) Memory tests - especially if freezes are followed by crashes Those would be my first suspects. If those check out fine, try booting in safe mode and check stability. It could be software related.

    Yea a max falls over with one C4 placed at his feet (light assault makes it easy in some situations to get the drop). Otherwise, you need some heavy assault decimator to the face action to take him down from range.

    The Fast Food Thread

    That didn't last long then. My stint at the Bell in 94/95 had us chopping tomatoes (in a machine), shredding lettuce, tipping olives out of a can, etc but most of the rest was premade. Refried beans were dried (just add boiling water). All meat products were in plastic bags which we put in very...

    Windows 8

    This was my point. I didn't have any problem with Vista myself (outside of shoddy driver support). But as a whole, the OS failed. I would argue that Win8.1 is a bigger consumer failure than Vista ever was. The point being, Microsoft knows the public's opinion has already been made. It's over for...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Yes and no. Stuff like spaghetti noodles can be boxed. But any stuffed pasta like ravioli, etc are all pre-cooked and frozen then shipped to the Olive Garden restaurants. I think the Olive Garden / Red Lobster comparison is pretty good, though frozen seafood is far worse than frozen pasta. I'd...

    Windows 8

    Holy shit, really? I don't know of any enterprise environments jumping to Win8. That is just asking for trouble down the road, considering Microsoft has all but written Win8 off as a loss. It's the ME / Vista of this generation at something abysmal like 12% market share and falling. Win7 has...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Love my military / diplomatic discount (contractors with gov IDs qualify). I have had over 6k off each of my last 3 BMWs (2012 X5, 2013 X6, 2014 X5). Point being, there is definitely room to play with BMW pricing. Some dealers are absolute tight-wads about it for sure. Here is the M3 / M4...

    Weather

    WTF? Fiber is supposed to be pretty much immune to weather. How does rain interrupt beams of light down sealed fiber cable? Short of one of their hubs being flooded / struck by lightning, it doesnt make sense.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I remember a while back trying to look something up on the Hennessy website and accidentally misclicked the year for date of birth and being subsequently blocked. Made the whole ordeal 10x as annoying as I had to go clear cookies and other bullshit to be able to enter a valid year.

    I would also argue that you can get discounts off MSRP on an M4, while the markups on the Z06 will be enormous for a while.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I have to agree with the prices. In my head, it's all about price brackets. 100k is a BMW M5 or stripper 911 Carerra S or Carrera +options. Who the fuck would want a Corvette over either of those? While the vette interior is vastly improved over previous models, it still leaves a lot to be...

    We do need more GPU power though with 4k coming down the pipe. Seems like we will have to wait for the next gen. Unless there are some MAJOR driver optimizations, I can't see the point for anyone to upgrade from 7XX to 9XX. The benchmarks show negligible improvement whatsoever. *Edit* The...

    I am actually agreement with you. What I was trying to say was that their new intended Tier system seems more or less the same. Yes, you are not grinding levels, but you are grinding whatever gear advancement requirements there are to get to the T5 content. Again, agreeing with you that the...

    I love the bug where you jump out of a vehicle that has flipped before it blows up and you occasionally "fall" upward to the game ceiling and die. That's always fun. *Edit* What's FNO? I only recently came back to game.

    I bought this and Tomb Raider for PS3 at release, but RL got in the way and I only finished half of Tomb Raider and never even fired this up. After seeing all the critical acclaim for the game, I put it on my "must complete" lists. Then they announced the PS4 version and I decided to wait again...

    EQ Never

    I really don't get the whole removal of "levels" / addition of "tiers" debate. Isn't it just the same exact measurement of time? SoE already did this whole tier thing with EQ2. Even in the original game (all the bs mechanics aside), 1-10 = T1, 1-20 = T2, 21-30 = T3, 31-40 = T4, and 41-50 = T5...

    Yea, OG VT sucked balls. Trash mobs chain blinding and stunning casters. That was eventually nerfed out, but the bajillion trash mobs remained. It was just long and tedious trash clearing to the next tank and spank mob. Our guild killed AHR (the top baddie of the xpac) on our first VT outing...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I am sure his point is the fact that you can just copy over whatever you like from other servers. People bring raid gear over from FV server, where there are hardly any no drop items at all. Infinite inflow of plat / items means value is next to nothing.

    I think DDR4 will be usefull in some scenarios. It will certaily offer power savings in the portable market. *edit* For clarification, I am talking about DDR4 being underwhelming from agamingperspective. All about DDR4, the next-gen memory coming soon for PCs and mobile devices | PCWorld

    Desktop Computers

    I think this was expected. Not many games will ever utilize that many cores effectively (not anytime soon, anyway). The raw clock speed is having a greater effect, so the good old quad processor 4790k at a base clock of 4GHz is performing better than these new E chips (hex at 3.3 / 3.5GHz and...

    I found this article interesting. I wonder why nVidia has decided to skip the 800 series naming scheme right before launch. Apparently we will be getting 970 / 980 GTX cards in the coming weeks. No NVIDIA GeForce GTX 800 Graphics Cards After All, GTX 900 Coming Instead

    If you had to look it up, you possibly missed his point. Maggie Gyllenhall is an enigma. Some movies she looks quite attractive and other times completely fugly. Can't explain it.

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    My bigger beef is with titles. In EQ1, it was extremely rare to have a GM title and it had significance. Nowadays, it seems right from the start you can pick through half a dozen titles and it just bloats from there. Zero fucks are given.
