    Path of Exile

    Ledge is the best act 1 zone. It is easy and there are usually a few big packs to aoe down. I use topaz rings when I do it so I can kill the boss also, but I have no experience of grinding it in a group. The problem with act 1 is that the other zones are all worse than the ledge. The coves...

    Doctor Who

    Couldn't make sense of it at all. How can someone die twice in two different times, and still be alive in another time?

    Path of Exile

    Meh, Kripp got to level 61 on day 1, that is pretty good. It isn't the best I have seen, though. The guys who usually win these things are pretty crazy, they theorycrafted it to the extreme that they install the game on ramdisks (virtual partitions in memory) for faster load times, etc...

    Murders and Shootings

    This is written in a way designed to make british think that americans are crazy (like most bbc new articles involving US gun crime), but worth mentioning anyway. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20838925 Firefighters? I would ask what kind of person murders firefighters, but in...

    Murders and Shootings

    Isn't the fact that they did not ban motorcycles contrary to not taking an inch and going a mile? Sorry, I do not have to worry about health insurance costs. You are correct ofcourse, except that you only have to spend 10 seconds per day on your seatbelt. On a serious note, laws like this...

    Murders and Shootings

    Less unnecessary injuries in minor crashes do help keep insurance premiums down, at least.

    Path of Exile

    Kripp's group wont even get close to winning. Panda will win (if he races), followed by Mouze. There are a few others that usually do well. Kripp is still new at this game, and there are dozens of guys with a lot more practice. I did not go for this race as it was a 3am start on christmas...

    Path of Exile

    There is some info around about the best way to do it. There is even a google spreadsheet somewhere detailing average zone xp per minute. You can rush until you outlevel the Ledge in merciless. I find act 2 merciless a bit hard to rush, so I would just do felshrine instead in merciless...

    Path of Exile

    You wont get playable performance on a shitty card just by turning down the ingame options. Most of the act 1 zones might be okay, but when you get into the forst you will go down to <5 fps or worse. Depending on your graphics chip you might be able to really turn down the graphics in your...

    Does Goliath still have a penis?

    There are some awards that I would like to win, but Ugliest Tranny on the Internet is not one of them.

    Path of Exile

    It will run like absolute shit without a decent graphics card. I can run it at a steady 60 fps on a 560, but some zones are pretty unplayable on an old 7950.

    Does Goliath still have a penis?

    I did a bit of reading up on gender dysphoria recently, just because I wanted to understand it a bit better. I have a new found respect for chicks with dicks. However, when reading this thread I am seeing some similarities to threads on FOH. All we need is for Tuco and Goliath to start...

    Path of Exile

    The game was worth $10 a year ago. You wont regret spending that on it now. It is not perfect, but you will get at least a few hours out of it, if not a lot more.

    Path of Exile

    There are many builds that can level quickly, a ground slam marauder has a slight edge early on, but other builds compete with it. You are level 25 in 6 hours because you just got the game and probably played through the zones sequentially. Levelling fast requires knowledge and practice...

    Well, now what?

    You are right about the death penalty. However, raids in WoW got a lot harder for individuals in TBC. I would imagine most guilds were the same as mine: we had to disallow certain members from raiding once we got into TBC, as players who were fine in naxxramas just wiped the raid repeatedly on...

    EQ Never

    WoW was the same if you did the original level 60 dungeons 5 man (10-15 for ubrs). They were a huge pita without a mage and that mage needed to have certain talents. You also needed some form of warrior (dunno about pally, but druid couldnt tank them at the time).

    Well, now what?

    But that has to be because the cost of production has skyrocketed. Many games used to survive with 100k subscribers but they were not spending tens of millions of dollars making those games. I am no businessman, but the obvious solution would be to raise subscription prices to compensate. The...

    Well, now what?

    WoW required more individual skill than any other mmo I have spent a lot of time playing. But that is not what I want from an mmo. If I want to test my skill then I will play an RTS game. What I want from anmmo is roleplaying in a persistent world. (Roleplaying does not have to be in character).

    Path of Exile

    People are fairly good at these races now. If you have no practice or cannot put in 8 hours a day you wont rank high enough to get the good rewards. To give you an idea, people will be hitting level 40 in 3 hours or so.

    Darkfall Unholy Wars

    Have they deployed anything resembling a miracle patch yet? I am going to be bored over the holidays and want an rpg to try, but all of the negative feedback is putting me off at the moment.

    Just thinking more about spoilers...As I said before, I did not play EQ, but L2 would of been similar early on (EQ changed at level cap). When I started to play, there were only basic spoiler sites but you did not use these to check where to xp. some areas were used by guilds friendly to me...

    Would you want to know?

    Imagine that knowing this would make you see everything as a collection of particles. Kind of like in the Matrix movie where knowing meant you saw the machine code instead of the illusion.

    Not fully relevant but Afaik all black people are 'recently' descended from africans. Humans evolved in africa, some later moved to europe and and asia. The people in europe and asia ended up white and the people who remained in africa ended up black. Since we only recently gained te...

    Well, now what?

    Unless they aim for the asian market, although they might need to go for some sort of cash shop model in most asian countries. While EQ had a lot of subs in north america, the crazy asian games still dwarf it.

    Well, now what?

    Increasing randomisation can mitigate some of the spoilers. Instead of having monster X spawn in a location, have a chance of X Y Z A B or C. Instead of having item X drop from monster X, have a chance of ... Spoilers will still help, but wont be as effective.

    Pathfinder Online

    Personally I like what they are doing. Their game can afford to be a niche game because they are keeping the development costs down. Judging by other threads on this forum, this is what we need.

    StarCraft 2

    Nexus first is not possible unless you want to long distance mine from that nexus (terran can fly the orbital into position after marines have cleared up the creep). Terran and zerg can both scout for 4 gate warp prism using overlord or reaper, although they might need 2 reapers to scout well...

    Round 2 of Proleague will be all kill format. I hope they change the map pool for that. I do not think these pro league maps are suited to any other format.

    Gun control

    I completely agree that there is no point in doing a half-assed ban on guns. But I do not really agree with the bomb argument. If I wanted to make a bomb, I would want to test my bomb making skill before I tried it on live targets, because you only get one go at it and there is a good chance...

    Gun control

    These were 6 year old kids being shot at close range when they had nowhere to run. In this scenario, the types of gun do not matter too much. I see three points at which the kids could of been saved: The guy did not decide to go and kill children. The guy has no access to any sort of gun...

    Gun control

    Obviously guns are the symptom and not the cause. I don't think gun control advocates would disagree with this but it would actually be easier to implement gun control than to fix the social problems. For a start, you would need to eliminate poverty and we have no idea how to actually do that...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I do not think that will happen, but I cannot really say why without spoiling Dance. I am looking forward to this season. It is good to see certain characters develop on screen, as opposed to just in my head.

    Northern Ireland is bringing in an interesting new law. The legal driving age there is 17, but they are going to make it so that anyone under the age of 21 cannon have their friends in the car with them. They can only have passengers who are family members or people over the age of 21...

    Gun control

    I mostly agree with Hodj, banning guns in the USA does not seem feasible. It could be done, but it would take decades, and all it would take is more the government to change and reverse the policy and the effort would be wasted. I think that's a big problem: what took months in the UK would...

    Gun control

    You do not control guns by stopping them entering the country. You control guns by imposing such harsh penalties for being caught with a gun that even stupid people wont risk it. The UK system is not perfect. We did have a madman kill a dozen people in 2010. He used legally licensed...

    The UK had our school maccare in 1996. We tightened gun laws and have not had a repeat since. But again, there are some very big difference between the UK and the US.
