    Book of the Month - Merged

    I just finished this as well and thought it was great. Probably the first fiction book I've read that was not fantasy / sci-fi in almost a decade, but the whole thing kept me really drawn in. I really really want to visit Barcelona after reading this. Zafon did a great job describing environment...

    Starting Malazan Series

    I don't know. The new series really serves to ground the previous series. There was, in my opinion, a thread throughoutBook of the Fallenthat always reminded us the gods weren't Gods. Whether that be from an Ascendant stand point, a newly created God, or old God that lost their followers (power)...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I played all last weekend with a PS3 controller (on PC) based on your feedback and from others. After a little learning curve and retraining of habits, it is actually extremely good. Navigating the menu took a little while and still isn't as fluid as say clicking 'C' maybe, but once you memorize...

    Starting Malazan Series

    Just about every new book you'll be confused maybe up through the first third (it was more like all of Midnight Tides as it was a new location?) as new characters are introduced, plot lines, and locations. Fortunately the world building and sense of scope is large enough that it typically served...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I haven't read any of the PC Wiki links so my time frame could be way off (from a pre/post EQ if we're using that as the metric?), but when I think of PC gaming it involves, in no particular order: X-Wing/Tie Fighter series, Kings Quest, Police Quest, Myst, Ultima, Wolfenstein (and Hexen, and...

    Tablets

    So a Galaxy Note 10.1 is like $500, Nexus 10 is $450, what else is out there? $150 does seem like a great deal for something 9" to use sitting on the couch and to play P&D on.

    This Alliance vs. EG game has been pretty good too, was worried how Alliance would respond after that Mouz series.

    I went back and forth on that too and settled on DD in the end. The only deciding factors to me was that 1) I didn't really care about the 50% to light reduction because I have that covered elsewhere and 2) Adding light sub element would enable him to be bound by light bind as well as dark bind...

    Couldn't happen to a bigger piece of trash. UMvC was fun to watch throughout the day, it has been a while since I got to see a tournament and a lot of the teams seem to have shifted around. Of course it all comes down to Chris and his damn Morrigan team. Was hoping someone had found a way to...

    I just set up my DS3 to work with it on PC as well. If it detects it make sure you go to devices in control panel and make sure it is really working.

    Yeah Cut's post hammers it home. I used Hera for a long time because the REM never gave me a Hades, but now that I have a DD Hades Hera kind of sits on the sidelines unless I need to pull out the Lucifer, Hera, Hera, Hades, G/D Ceres, Lucifer team for Valk or something else I want to cheese...

    I believe I have three pair of pants from Bonobos.

    Since there isn't anything on TV during the summer, decided to go ahead and catch up on this trash. This show is horrible horrible. And then Anna Paquin comes out and offers Bill and Eric a three way in red lingerie and it all seems worth it. At times HBO remembers what they're selling.

    The one person I did run in to that complained about gil said they spent it all on teleports (spell check, really?). Which starts to make sense as they can cost anywhere from 100 gil - 500 gil, and if you're stupid and use that as your only means of travel every 15 minutes, then yeah you'll be...

    I've been confused about this the entire Beta process. Keep in mind that I do not tradeskill and obviously the AH / server market doesn't exist yet, but I didn't spend a single gil outside of a teleport and occasion repair (approx 900 gil at 34). Never sold a single tin, bronze, whatever loot...

    Even outside of the GCD conversation Esuna is just worthless as it is right now. Like you point out, the cast time is so long there is no reason to cast it. In Maw, Blyfox, and umm... one other place, the Poison / Status Ailments were all AE anyways. No way in hell to cure a whole group, and...

    And I just realized that the Barbarians are in their 1st form and it takes a Light Keeper, Topalit, and Yellow mask to evolve... freaking hate farming that stuff, may not even bother hanging on to them.
