    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Im all for some organic shit, but I live in a city (suburb), so getting it aside the organic labled shit in my grocery store for 300% markup is basically impossible without driving out to the boonies and getting some farm fresh shit. And even then, how am I supposed to know that the farm fresh...

    Buying a car?

    I dont think they require it, but it sure cant hurt. If you think of it at a microscopic level, wax fills in the micro grooves and bumps of the paint so the water and dirt just beads off of it. Therefore it makes cleaning your car easier because dirt does not stick to the micro grooves and bumps...

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

    Yeah but volume speaks words. Im betting the wallmarts and targets sell 10x the number of consoles than gamestop, if stocked of course. And those people end up getting the peripherals eventually anyway, because they need to.

    To this day when I go back to play EQ I use the old models. There is just something magical about them and they way they move.

    Whats funny is we have like 2 27" tube TVs still and one monster 40" in the basement that I want to get rid of. That 40" Mitsubishi weighs like 200lbs, I swear. But the wife says no. "Someone will want it" LOL, like anyone wants a shitty 27" tube tv anymore. Even if I tried to donate it to...

    I picked up a cheap ass 39" for the bedroom from Best Buy this past summer. I wasnt even in the market for one but I was walking around the store and noticed this LED TV for like $300 so I snatched it up. And since we still that the old tube TV at 480p, I Could not be happier. It fits perfectly...

    My original nexus 7, the first gen one I got last Christmas was flawed as well. There was an input lag. So I returned it and got another and it was flawless since. I got the 2nd gen for my other son this year and its flawless. So yeah you can get a dud, but if you do just return it and get...

    Dodge or Chrysler? No, but Ford and Chevy or any GM for that matter post 2005 is good to go. The Jap cars might be god to go but they are bland uninspired styling that basically looks like any other asian car.

    Usually when I cook I dont use recipes. I use experience in the kitchen and what my mom and other relatives/ tv shows over the years..etc used to do for technique and ingredients. Cooking is not an exact science like baking pastry. Like emeril used to say, its not rocket science. Take for...

    Speaking of AAs what do you guys think about the alternate advancement like it was in EQ? I personally enjoyed it for the most part. I know it had its inherit problems later, but I liked how you always had something to do. Not everything amounted to getting more +3 gear somewhere.

    There has to be some level of downtime IMO. I mean, why have resources if you dont have to manage them? Or they are full 5 seconds after you fight? Maybe not the 10 min we used to sit medding after a bad pull or whatever in EQ, but there definitely needs to be more downtime. I think the way...

    My assumptions are right on point and are echoed here in 30 other threads by hundreds of others. Its simply by slowing down what happens to a more strategic combat you will get more social interaction. Instead of running from pack to pack as quickly as possible. Its common sense.

    Or that "oh shit" moment when you see like 4-5 mobs? But you dont panic, well maybe a little, but somehow using your skills, root parking them, etc, you somehow squeak by. But then you have to med for like 30 min because everyone is oom.

    It was even fun in a grind group. I was a ranger and I did that many a time in the outdoors. Also I think some pulling was an accident, like monk feign death splitting. But I have a hard time believing that all pulling in EQ was an accident when they had spells that actually made you pull one...

    It was a good accident then. Because it allowed more social interaction. Something thats integral to a mmorpg. And something that is blatantly missing from tdays mmorpgs which auto group you together from other servers, then you mindlessly run through an L shaped instance and then rinse and...

    To tell you the truth, I was pretty hard core back in the day in EQ, but in 2017 I will be 45 and you can count me in on the filthy casual crowd. You can bet your ass if the game is good I will still plug some time into it, but not like a high school or college kid can.

    Thats not the point. I can accept that. But waiting in lines in a video game? No fucking thanks. Be at the mercy of the local Chinese farmer? No thanks. This leads to all kinds of shitty problems. Look, we all know you want a reskinned EQ of 1999 but some of that shit just wont fly in 2017.

    I agree, especially in a PvE game where none of that shit really matters that much n the broad sense. But like was mentioned before twinking and items that are not BOE or BOP are obviously more rare because they need to be. I mean you just cannot have a fungi drop every time, right? So this...

    Thats a double edged sword. One one hand it pretty much invalidated low end content when you twinked out a person. But on the other hand it also gave people a reason to go back and do content again for the actual twink gear and then go back and slaughter everything with the twink. That being...

    People keep coming up with this excuse to have easy mode flying in the game. Its total BS. Travel in EQ was never a headache unless you were like Lv12 and trying to run from qeynos to EC. The more levels you had the better the SOW was and travel was never an issue. Totally agree.
