    Planetside 2

    No idea if my issue is FPS related though. I have a Quad i7 OC'd to 4.5GHz, 16G Ram, and two 670 in SLI displayed on only 1080p. It really shouldn't bog down and hasn't felt that way.

    Planetside 2

    Without claiming hacks or anything, I have to agree with this time of gameplay against some foes. I can be fairly close range and use a "regular" amount of rounds to drop an enemy. Two seconds later some random infantry from 100 yards out drops me in a second flat with full shield / health...

    It's been said before, but I just wish SoE would drop the name Everquest with this project altogether. It's shaping up to be pretty shitty looking overall and looks / feels NOTHING like EQ / EQ2.

    These were recent changes that some loans keep PMI for the life of the loan. (Fuck that shit greedy lenders) Typically though, PMI is if you do not have at least 20% down on the house and would go away once you are >20% in equity on the loan.

    Chilito (chili cheese burritto) was around in the 90s, but the frito burritto was much later than that. I worked at the bell in high school 94-95.

    I've been using Google drive and they have had the $9.99 for 1TB rate for a while now. I think Dropbox just dropped their prices accordingly to try and stay competitive.

    2014 Emmy Nominations

    This is my biggest beef with the Sheldon win. Others in the category are doing phenomenal acting work. Sheldon seems to mostly be portraying himself. BBT he may just crank up the nerd / awkwardness to 11, but in interviews he seems to be 80% of the way there. The guy has shown 0 acting range. I...

    Not to be the pancake snob, but McD literally takes them from frozen and slaps them in a microwave and dumps them in a cardboard box. That said, they are still pretty damn tasty and I wish I could just buy a bunch of the frozen ones myself.

    Just bought myself a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD. I hope it's a reasonable boost to my 180GB Intel 520 that's mostly full (80%).

    That's actually mid-priced for pro telephoto lenses. 200mm isn't all that much zoom in the scheme of things. (f/2 is crazy good) You want more zoom with a lot of light? You are going to pay a hell of a lot more for that! Here is twice the zoom without giving up too much aperature for a mere$11,500.

    God damn, that's amazing. I'd try to sneak an order in if I weren't overseas. =( Best Buy, NewEgg, and Crutchfield are listing it "on sale" at $1799. The Amazon (Beach Camera vendor) price is $799. Makes me think they forgot the "1" before the 7. Hell, even Amazon is selling it themselves...

    Not relevant to the era (Luclin), but ST keys and extremely valuable market items were gained, which were still being widely used at the time. It was an issue enough to warrant endless bitching like this too: Manaburn

    Well, C4 explodes in game if you shoot it, so I imagine he would detonate if he's hit by enemy fire.

    Buddy and I were talking about non-conventional tactics today. We kinda jokingly came up with the "jihad infiltrator". The other day, a squad member ran in front of me as I was tossing C4 into a doorway. I laughed as I noticed this C4 pack stuck to his back and he was running around with it. The...

    Tripod and check for an image stabilization setting are the best options here. A big factor is also going to be what kind of light you are in. If it's night games, the camera is going to bump the ISO and/or increase the exposure time. Longer exposure time and any movement means blurry...

    From what I recall, Luclin included a worldwide texture bump. Some point I remember the option for installation. But christ, that was 12+ years ago now? Hell if I remember exactly.

    That's the beauty of PS2. So much situational class, vehicle, air, weapon choices. Some are useless in some instances and completely devestating in others. Really loving being back in this game the last couple weeks!!

    The short-lived Manaburn squads were a perfect example. (Group of a few wizards with Manaburn all time the nuke at once and instagib raid mobs. Didn't last long before the nerf bat) The ice comet example with multiple wizards is good too though.

    Speakers in the back are for aesthetics (thin bezel) and the simple fact a lot of customers have their own HT Speaker setup. I know I wouldnt touch a TV with speakers hanging off the sides / bottom.

    One annoyance of this game is it's lustre fades during the quiet hours of the night. I work random shifts at work and sometimes I come home and want to hop on at 4am on a week night. The game just dies in these hours. At least in any other MMO, there issomethingto work on to progress your...

    So, I've noticed on the Trek Fuel lineup and the Specialized Stump Jumper lineup that it seems all the 26" wheels have gone the way of the dodo. I guess it's 27.5" and 29" from here on out?

    Is the loot system still the lazy cookie cutter bullshit design that was introduced in Velious? That was the nail in the coffin for me, but there were still glaring issues like the hotbar / ability bloat. Another major gripe for me was that the high end raiding simply became a twich game.

    I've got the same issue with primary though too. (AP vs HE) I spawn a tank with HE to blow up some spawn doors and farm noobs, but then up comes a Vanguard to fight and I am fucked. The other night, while drunk, I fucked up and maxed all my "high speed racer chassis" certs on my Lightning...
