Is there any actual evidence that is what he did?

You think it would have been a wiser course of action to hand tens of thousands of dollars to a mediocre staff who accomplished nothing in 6 months? A staff who had no employment contracts? We clearly disagree.

Meh... Brad taking the lions share of the money always seemed justifiable to me. The kick starter had zero decent content, so people certainly weren't pledging based on that. It stands to reason then, the monies raised were raised because of Brad's 'brand equity', for lack of a better term...

Who the heck is tipping $20 on a $40 tab?

Fucking America. I was at the grocery store here in Beaver-land and that same pack of corn was $4.50 yesterday.

n recent years, such renowned restaurants as Thomas Keller's Per Se in New York and French Laundry in Yountville, Calif., Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., and Grant Achatz's Alinea in Chicago have put no-tip policies in place. So did the recently closed Linkery restaurant in San...

No, try to correct your fucking grammar. That sentence is an abortion.

No they don't have a tipping system. They just charge 50-300% more than a restaurant in North America does for the same meal in almost every first-world country on the planet. Market and cultural realities in North America make it extremely difficult for independents to compete. Chains take...

I have no idea what you are trying to communicate here.

This was discussed earlier. Try to keep up.

If there were no tipping, do you honestly believe a person would serve tables for the same hourly wage that someone would work in a retail shop for? Nobody in their right mind would serve tables for anything less than $16-20/hour. It's an awful job.

This forum has always been shit. That's the whole point. Fucking moron.

Loves me some Ripjaw X. No experience with the Sniper stuff.

Interesting perspective, but inherently flawed. I'm assuming you have no experience in the financial side of running a restaurant. Paying servers "fairly", and getting a Burger & Fries in the portions North Americans demand, for under $10, just ain't gonna happen. Certainly not as long as...

Ah absolutely then. Just checked my old v300. It's a 'made in Taiwan' 5.0.5 firmware. Probably why I never had any complaints. Guess I got lucky or something and didn't get one of the made in China 506 fugazis.

Based on what? This is a budget build. If he wants to opt for something with 15% higher performance for 100% more money he's welcome to do that.

It's $50 to get a new PC built at any decent dorkshop in any city in North America. If you buy a pre-built, expect to pay ~$1350 for something you could get assembled for you for $1000, and you'll get lower quality parts. It's that simple. Is it worth it to you to pay 30-40% more for your rig...

Just use a very lightweight racer and build for accel + handling.

While the content of the OP is terrible, I do like the odd open discussion thread in the MMORPG forum.

Did you really just quote yourself... then agree with yourself?

CAS latency:CAS latency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia tldr: lower CL = faster RAM Ps. Ya the RAM you bought is good to go. Congrats on your new rig!

Everyone is 'normal' on the internet. That's the scary thing.

Are you just gonna order it off the page I linked from PCpartspicker.com? If so, everything is cool. If not, pay close attention to the RAM you buy. The RAM I selected in that build is CAS 8. There is other G. SKILL Ripjaw RAM that is NOT of a quality that high.

Always spend the most you can on a single-card solution, then crossfire down the road to augment performance and extend the life of your rig. Crossfire/SLI doesn't double performance just because there are 2 cards. You never get full performance out of the second card, and there are all kinds of...

The only thing I miss about fohguild.org is the new post ticker at the top of the page.

If I were to build a rig today:Intel Core i5-4670K, Asus Radeon R9 290, Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) - System Build - PCPartPicker This rig will be a monster for 1080p gaming for the next 2 years until 4k resolutions start to penetrate. At the end of the Radeon R9 290's...

Everybody is faking their way through their lives. Why would he be any different?

Ya... I was extremely intoxicated when I posted this thread. I intended to make a big long post with multiple articles but got bored after I had already started and said 'fuck it'. Feel free to shaw.

If you are referring to Planetside 2, there is no way you will get decent playability out of that CPU, and I'm not surprised you're not seeing good results with Battlefield 3 either. I'm surprised Titanfall is giving you trouble, though.

Sounds like your CPU is underpowered. What are you using?

Am I the only one troubled by the current trend of being more concerned with animal well being than that of humans? Motorcyclists die after car stops to let ducks cross the road

Is this a gaming rig? If so, why so much RAM? Why such a massive PSU? It's too big for what you have built here, and I think it's too small to SLI 780ti down the road. That case is pricey and I can't figure out why, do you just really like the looks of it? Coolermaster HAF 922/932 or Storm...

Your GPU can't handle 1440p resolutions, so you are gonna have to rock a 1080p monitor. I'd also recommend a 24' monitor, because at 27' 1080p images start to look a little rough. Given that situation, you basically have 2 ways forward, and will depend on your personal preference. 1.Dell...

What types of games do you play? Any specific examples you play a majority of the time? What are your basic system specs? Do you do any photo editing or graphic design?

Don't even think about 1440p unless you have a very high end PC. It's just not pleasant on anything under an r9 280x/gtx 770

Get yourself a Radeon R9 270 for $150 if you don't mind team red. Comes with two free games. Anything much more powerful will just be bottlenecked severely by that CPU (which, btw, is overclockable to 4.2ghz. If you do that, you could probably go with something like a GTX 770 without real...
