So much fucked up hype marketing out there too though. Most people believe audiophile grade equipment is their Bose or whatever shittastic setup they bought from Best Buy. It's always amusing seeing the big looks of astonishment when they hear my HT setup, then the look of utter disappointment...

Same. As a kid, nothing bothered me at all. Except fucking Jaws! I guess I knew better that horror movies were just made up stories, but I lived in Florida and god damn it, sharks are fucking real!! I remember lying in bed that night making sure not one single inch of arm or leg was hanging off...

Not only that, but as a Barbarian you started in Halas. To go out into the world for killable mobs, you had to cross that lake into the tunnel leading from Halas to Everfrost. At night, it was pitch black.. while nowhere near as difficult to navigate as the Surefall tunnel, it was still complete...

Good read there. It's a shame this game didnt work out. I really dont know what tech specs there were going for, but I had a cutting edge gaming system at the time and it NEVER ran well. I never gave it a realease chance though, as I was fairly heavy into EQ2 at that point. I actually was...

Just saw Insidious last night for the first time. I think it was pretty damn good, but the last ~10 minutes ended a tad weak. I dont really get freaked by anything horror, but there was some tense moments throughout the film. The day before I watched Evil Dead (new one) and thought it was...

My $1k headphones: Grado Labs | GS1000i Rated much better than the Beyer's, but I would love to hear how the Senn' HD800 stack up.

^^ Exactly this ^^ Not to mention the fact there will be loved ones playing with each other come merge time.

Jesus balls, I thought EQ2 got flack for a million hotbars. I loved my necro in the day, but now it's far too much spell, clickie, and AA juggling these days to play optimally.

Pretty darn steep. Cant believe how expensive cars have gotten overall over the last 10 years. Especially considering the recession years.

You know you are fucking old when you have to tell a legitimate story that involves "back in my day / walking uphill in the snow..."

I just went through my IPT invites. Seems that you are my best invite so far, killing it at 7+ ratio!! Thanks. lol I find it odd that Homsar (who invited me from FoH) was banned last month. He had been a member for years without issue.

I honestly dont get it. That system is basically idling running 1080p monitors. If you spent all of that money on the rig, you might has well fucking upgrade to triple 30" monitors. It's like buying a car with a 1000hp engine and running all four wheels on donut spare tires. Nevermind the...

I'd like to see the price on the upcoming full AMG version CLA. 355hp and all wheel drive!

Sick beard Grumpus

Im off on a desert camping trip this weekend and hoping for some clear weather. I have a full frame (5D mkIII) and my widest glass is a 16-35mm f/2.8 zoom. By that 600 rule, I should be able to expose up to ~37s. Thankfully, I can crank some good ISO levels without much noise. I will let you...

The funniest stashes I had ever stumbled across was in a government Navy building 13 years ago or so. I was an enlisted scrub at the time and was tasked with a few others to re-paint the bathroom. Now, this building had been around for decades and the paint wasnt in too terrible shape. However...

Pound Rebka was a test involving observations with the Viking 1. I was talking about: Optical Clocks and Relativity I think we are in agreement here though, but Time Dialation is achieved both ways. 1) Gravitational Time Dilation = in respect to distance to mass 2) Relative Velocity...

Nice stuff. You can clearly see the Andromeda galaxy in the last two. Do you have any exposure information?

There was a pretty cool "Into the Universe" episode where they went specifically into this. Time dilation as in: closer to mass, the more time is (relatively) slowed down to time measured further away. Scientists in Greenwich took two identical clocks extremely sync'd to who knows how many...

I cant remember who gave my invite (Homsar?), but my ratio is 2.7 or more with a few TB of uploads. No seedbox, just my trusty 100MB Fiber connection and seeds left on overnight.

I always farm my best ratio by hosting entire Season packs of older TV shows. Mythbusters and Top Gear (UK) are my bread and butter! I've probably uploaded a TB or more of that shit alone.

Episode felt fairly middle of the road for me. Nothing great, nothing terrible. Bring on more Randy episodes!

Pretty much sums it up. Russel always had the plan to get to the end, but always overlooked the final vote where people actually had to like you and vote for you to win the million bucks. Massive oversight on his part. Who knew being a dick and fucking every single person over wouldnt win you...

My timescales could have been fucked up, but it was while Vista was in its infancy and no one really used that OS at all at the time because of (ironically enough) poor driver support. Thevastmajority of people were still on XP and the driver support was as critical as ever.

Is it a specific game crashing? The reason I ask is because I use Win7 and a pair of SLI 670 FTWs and have had no issues whatsoever. Worst case, if you think the new drivers caused the issues, uninstall the driver and go back to a previous version. Simple fix. Again, I am on current...

My last ATI cards were probably 4 years ago or so. I tried to Crossfire a pair of new cards and the driver support was just terrible (Windows XP at the time). I ended up selling them and have purchased nVidia ever since. I still read ATi driver issues from time to time and its enough for me to...

Emma Watson? Is that you?

Rupert won me over in the first episode of his first season (Pearl Islands). It was a wierd start to the show where the contestants were given some local currency to buy goods in a local market for their tribes in a very limited time. For whatever reason the opposing tribe left their belongings...

You said Brell, right? Just curious what guilds / characters these were. This server was my old stomping ground before AB (Euro server) opened up.

Snapped this pic up in my backyard. 400mm + x2 Teleconverter on a full frame 5D MkIII. Cropped and tweaked in Lightroom.

Zzzzz....

We can only hope! The pricing has gotten ridiculous.

I love the shape of those things. Did you get the Turbo version?

He is on this forum. You could just PM him yourself and see if he'd reply what he is up to.

Most satisfying PVE was probably downing Rathe Council. We were one of the first couple guilds to do so. It wasnt so much of the accomplishment itself as it was SoE cockblocking everyone out of unfinished PoTime by keeping it unkillable. I want to say we had to wait months before it was patched...

I dont believe this is entirely true. We now know that Candice was flown out at the very last minute because of RC's father's heart issues. The returning players already have some alliances built going-in (RC mentions this). Candice would have been an "unknown" vote outsider showing up at the...

Necro is probably the most gear irrelevant class there is.

I know there were monks doing it long before mercs existed. He had a bag full of clickies and potions to do it though.

Ravings of a lunatic most likely.

Apparently the guy etched "my elf weapon" into his shotgun. More video game discussion in the media to come, I am sure. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.1460199 (Also carved "Better off this way")
