    I wasn't happy at all with the gtx 660 I picked up last year. Depends what you are playing though. I had it for a week and sold it. It was like a 5% FPS upgrade over my 650ti BOOST, so I just went back to that until I found a cheap gtx 780.

    Was my front panel USB. I smacked it with my knee one day (I buy cases with the USB ports on top, now), thought nothing of it and went to work, came home and had the problem you describe. Extremely frustrating. Some google-fu led me to checking my USB ports for damage, and there it was... The...

    I had a problem similar to yours. Turned out to be a damaged USB port that was shorting the system.

    The possibilities to expand that system are endless. You could build a music composition system in game. Allow you to play player-made music in you inn. Players could sell their tunes on player studio and SOE could monetize them. Mr. Georgeson you can make that cheque out to Quaid O'Quaid...

    Food & drink mechanics, for the most part, are wasted IMO. If I were designing an MMO, 'rest' would be tied to socialization. Being 'well fed' would be a buff (many different buffs for different meals) that you could only get from eating a 'hot meal'. You could only obtain these at...

    No problem man. I made the SSD change jeydax suggested, and upgraded the CPU Selection. You still come in under $1100. In 2 years the GPU I selected for you will start to show its age, but you can just upgrade that part alone at that point. Cheers! Intel Core i5-4690, MSI Radeon R9 280...

    Permadeath in PVP is the only real answer. The trick is to make Permadeath bearable.

    Wanting to play Planetside 2 at Ultra settings is a tall order to fill. That game is a hog. Doing it on a system that will cost you $1000 when you need an OS & Monitor is pretty near impossible. That being said, I came damn close:Intel Core i5-4430, MSI Radeon R9 280, Corsair 200R - System...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Oh come on Dumar. Cars have premium upgrade packages. Restaurant menu items allow you to add bacon. You can pay for leg room on a plane. This is not new, it is not unique to gaming, nor is it going away. It is simple revenue management. Evolve.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    If Dark Elves, Dwarves, Ogres, and Iksar were paid races there would be riots in the fucking streets. Nerds would be throwing weaponized modems through SOE's windows.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Players will most likely all start in the same locations, so that probably won't be relevant. And ya, the variety is nice, but I'd say 8 races is more than enough for most MMORPG enthusiasts to find something that appeals to them. Especially with the strong racial choices that exist in the...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    There's no way they were going to launch a free to play game in 2015-16 with 'Trolls' as a playable race. Can you imagine? There will be Trolls, they'll just be a paid race tied to a rallying call, same as the other races with current gaming/pop-culture significance (Barbarian/Skyrim...

    I think Dumar is probably referring to the nature of the world. From what I understand, it is a segmented instanced world where you won't 'run in' to other players, correct? Outside of cities/hubs, they can only be with you if you are specifically grouped with them? Forgive me if I'm mistaken...

    No. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how those two words are supposed to be used. You do not sound intelligent when you use them (repeatedly) incorrectly. So just fucking stop.

    If it were a scam he wouldn't have gone through kickstarter in the first place. I believe he started out with good intentions, either through inspiration or desperation.
