    If you liked cyber power pc, why not just go with them again? They sponsor a lot of streamers and I hear good things all in all (or maybe the lack of bad things really). Still I would prefer to build my own.

    Let see how popular the new World of Warcraft prog servers are. This will be really interesting to see if they end up being popular. Granted, its WoW and not EQ, but still WoW circa 2004 is like night and day from the WoW we have today. I have a feeling they will make a killing.

    12/24 core @5ghz turbo and for $350? Yeah, they will make a killing if its anything even remotely better than their 2000 series per core performance. Not to mention their even cheaper 8/16 and 6/12 which will make some awesome cheap gaming builds. Those 8/16 look sexy as hell too for $200-$220

    And lets not even get started on the items, the bases and the affixes, suffixes and hybrid shit which all takes forever to learn too. How many noobs sold a 1-5EX piece because they did not know it was god tier item? :raises hand: At least they added the little thingie that shows you your tier...

    YOur CPU is really outdated and pretty much will be a bottleneck for any modern video card. I would suggest piecing together a new system, we can help here if you need. And watch a few vids on how to build one, its not that hard. You will save moneys and get the best bang for your buck. Here is...

    Path of Exile

    This game has way worse things going wrong for it from a new/casual player perspective. It took me like 2-3 leagues to even learn basic shit about this game and not to brick a character and this included watching streamers and shit which I know most people dont do. This game is way to complex...

    I agree with the entire clear speed bullshit this game turned into. I have not played in a few leagues now but watching some streams here and there and yeah, its pretty bad. Playing some games like Grim Dawn and the new Epoch it was a nice change of pace and shows you how nice these games play a...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I dont think its out of the realm of possibility. And also I dont think they built rock structures either, but they could of shared some basic engineering knowledge and the like. Maybe the used early human mongoloids as slaves to do some mining or some type of harvesting work for them and the...

    Yeah I gotta say I tried to explore in wow but there was just no point. If it wasnt part of the theme park ride, it just was not important. Besides the entire point of mmorpgs at that point was to rush through leveling as fast as possible and RAIIIID. Which is an entirely different discussion...

    My first run, the other way around, I ddi at like lv 15 or some shit. I heard all this talk about some tunnel that everyone gathered in and bought and sold shit. It took me an entire night.

    Yeah dude, dont go cheap. Buy some good shit that will not only work better but last you longer. If you go with a 2070, that shit will be good to go for years, especially at 1080p and even if you decide to upgrade to 1440p somewhere down the line it will handle it. I used to be a proponent of...

    Sahdowbane was the only "political" game I played and yeah, how that worked out? One guild usually got power, through sheer numbers of course, built their keep with overwhelming gold because, again, numbers. Then they lorded over the entire server, all that ever happened "politically" was people...

    Having played this for approx 8ish hours so far, I don't see how this even remotely resembles poe. Character prog is different. Skill prog is different... Maybe it's because it's an arpg? That being said, I do agree about the map resets. Also their passive reset system is too punishing imo...

    Nahh its jusut some lore I read about it. Its like one of, if not the oldest alcohol drink that man ever made. But nevertheless ther is probably something to it depending on the flowers the bees were feasting on. Honey is some strange shit, bro.

    LOL thats the one right there! I worked on that POS!

    Real wood is super expensive to do on interior parts. Because so many rejects in the molding process where it splits and shit. We did a few parts for infinity (Nissan) and they were literally like $35-40 a piece where standard mold in faux wood film or any other film the same part would be like...

    There is gonna be purists of all sorts bitching about the decisions you make in your game. But its really up to you to design something that makes sense as a game dev. For instance the purists that always bitched at the POK books, while I thought they were a great addition to the game at the...

    Then you spawn instances of those, like EQ does now, and AO did back in the day with their social dungeons. I liked the way AO did it. Say a dungeon reached a certain player threshold, a new one would spawn. But no, I dont think this was ever a problem in EQ. For one EQ never had millions of...

So im all 650 with all of the great forge weapons and all that, but then I go around and see its just the same shit to, again, level to 700. More strike lists (which they have not added any new ones in...

    There is a point at which there is too much alcohol for certain yeasts though and it just dies. So its not like you can just keep adding sugar to it and it will all turn into alcohol. Now there is more hardy yeast strains they use in making wine that will get up to higher percentages like 12%+...

    There was no way to crawl through EQ dungeons because of the level disparity of the mobs. Often times you would have 20 or so level difference between the "upper" mobs vs the the ones deep down.

    I think camping is one of the only ways other than instancing the shit out of your game(Or just themeparking the shit out of it with boar ass quests) to have dungeons that fully support more than one group and be social. Now that is to say if this is the case, why not support this "camping" a...

    So this just came out in pre release on steam $35. Action RPG game thats pretty solid so far from what I have seen.

    Yeah definitely a disappointment in D2. D1 was excusable in that new genre, learning curve and all that, and they fixed it by the 2nd year. D2 was just inexcusable and 3 steps backward IMO. But I will still say that this is the smoothest playing shooter on the market by a mile. It just feels...
