    Everquest II

    Played with them from Beta through DoF. They were just fine logging worldwide item discoveries. Don't really give two shits about my guild from 10+ years ago either, so whatever floats your boat. The point was the Vox strategy and resultant ban on this new progression server. It's fucking...

    Everquest II

    Way back in EQ2's heyday, my guild (Xanadu) had tons of worldwide firsts and were always cutting edge. I played a Guardian at the time, and we NEVER fought Vox on her platform and no one gave a fuck. I can think of other encounters through the years where people were tasked with running off...

    Yea, I sold out pretty huge when I quit. Sceptre of Destruction, Holgresh Beads, and about 8mil plat for a couple grand. I kept my pre-nerf Fungi Staff which I still have to this day collecting dust on AB server. Should have sold that back in the day for truckload of plat / cash. It's pretty...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    IIRC, Corndog deals with freshwater only. The "Nemo" crowd should be an easy avoidance in that case.

    Caffeine pills. FAR cheaper than coffee or energy drinks. Accomplishes the exact same thing. Amazon.com: ProLab Caffeine Maximum Potency 200mg Tablets, 100-Count: Health Personal Care

    The Fast Food Thread

    Worked at a TB in high school. I remember these pizzas with olives and green onions too. Cheap bastards. IIRC, the green onions went away with that stupid eColi thing years back.

    http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login...mber%3D4445944 There you go, uncompressed 4K streaming will take over half that 10GbE connection alone.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    You also need to look at the fact torrent rips and especially stream sites will compress the shit out of 1080p. Hell, most TV torrents are only 720p and STILL compressed. With better bandwidth as a whole (no caps of course), we could move to lossless formats as well as HD Master Audio, etc. Add...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I completely agree re caps, but why choose to stagnate tech / bandwidth? It's like the old memory / hard disk argument that has gone on for decades. This 10G "too big" argument will look just as dumb as those statements in the not too distant future. That was my point. But yes, caps are...

    First off, Skylake-E isn't due until a year from now. I am not waiting that long. Secondly, the premium for the E versions are nowhere worth the money and are outdated tech by release. Intel used to release their EE (extreme edition) processors first in the lineup. They capitalized on...

    Naked and Afraid

    Back to N&A XL.. I found myself wanting to punch team lazy after they were whining about how they felt slighted EJ and Jeff wanted to finish on their own. Their comments on how "they made it to the end just the same on their own hard work" seemed bizarre considering Jeff handed them 3 huge ass...

    Everquest II

    It's been like 10 years since I played noobie levels, but were you on one of those dynamic camps? There were certain areas of Antonica where you kill a mob(s) in a certain area and they trigger progressively more difficult mobs until a baby named spawns. I think there was dynamic camps for this...

    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    Desktop Computers

    The only time my computer reboots is when forced by Windows Updates. Aside from that, I judge my computer's performance by.. you know.. computing vs how it starts itself. It's like saying a Ferrari needs a few extra seconds to warm up (hypothetical), so lets just ignore how it actually performs...

    Agree Zaide, the /stick command works about 1000x better than autofollow ever did. Reason enough for MQ2 right there.

    RL Batman Dies

    The ironic thing is, in the article I read about his death, he reportedly pulled over on the LEFT hand side of the road where he was struck. (Which usually has minimum if no shoulder) There he is again in the pic in the OP sitting on the LEFT side of the road with half the car in traffic. Moral...

    Mist has suggested repeatedly on this thread about doing similar practices. Thanks for being one of many reasons we pay more for hardware for your welfare upgrades. You have decent advice overall in this thread, but you should quit being a dickbag about your upgrades via scam RMA.

    I upgraded to W10 on my HTPC (Intel NUC) and seem to get 5.1 just fine. I use Kodi and audio is sent out via HDMI to my AVR. *Edit* Doing further reading on the issue, it seems to be driver related, not Microsoft. Mostly those using Realtek audio with complaints. You can't fault W10 for...

    On top of what Flobee explained, Exile was part of the old betrayal quest system. For example: If you rolled a "good" character aligned with Qeynos and then later decided you wanted that character "evil" aligned with Freeport, there was a long'ish quest where you would basically sabotage / kill...

    I took 3% as the national average for a 72 month loan according to Bankrate.com It's difficult to compare dealer pricing, as they just charge you more for the vehicle and lure you in with APR figures. They get their money and you are paying them whether you want to call it "interest" or...

    Yet, you can afford a BMW / Merc / Audi with the prices of some of these fully loaded US models. On the pick-up truck argument, you are sitting at $55k for an F-150 Platinum 4WD with ZERO OPTIONS selected! This is what I am talking about. How the F do you justify these prices?

    ~42k (tax, tag, title, etc) loan @3% for 72 months (national average rate) is about $4k in interest payments. Makes even less sense! Yay for a society that lives in debt?
