    Downloading the new 2.0 firmware / app now. There are some really nice looking apps for 2.0 that I've been meaning to try.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    ^ This is the kind of attitude that I want to see vanish from modern MMOs. Unfortunately, it's also the prevalent way of thinking among self-aggrandizing children. Just so you're aware, no, my gear never sucked, and I've never experienced gear score or item levels barring my way into any...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Take dyes and throw them out along with gear score and item levels. You know, the things that create group exclusivity based on the gear you have, not your skill.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Hilarious. I wonder how long before the next IB/TR or DA or TMO comes along, and you're all bitching about your new common foe, thinking back to the good ol' days when "this didn't happen" and "everything was better"? All of this has happened before, and will happen again.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Trolling aside, people buy mediocrity, and this is how companies make money. They don't care about people like us. We are not normal consumers.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Do you enjoy arguing for the sake of argument? "Because it works" is on of the driving forces behind "people will spend money on this". You know, that thing that makes the world go round and puts food on most peoples' tables? Just because it's tired and old doesn't mean that there is a...

    Smartphones

    Verrrry slowly, mostly because this jailbreak was not shared with devs before its release. Very little is working on ARM64 at this point (e.g. not even WinterBoard).

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Seems to me you Cliff Noted it just fine in your second sentence. It's all about cockblocking by asswipes, just because they wanted to be asswipes back in 2000 but were being cockblocked by other asswipes back then. Now, they have their chance at the top of the hill. Never mind that the hill is...

    Belgians visiting USA: NYC, SF and national parks

    Not just Americans. You should hear my wife (she's Belgian) laugh at me when I try to speak Flemish. I'm sure that I sound out the words about as well as a two-year-old.

    No doubt. I'd give my left arm to have that warrior axe right now for the accuracy alone, but my group hasn't managed to down Garuda EX yet, let alone the other two. Derp.

    I think what they did is fine. The "hard" modes are easy, but most of us outgeared them by a large margin anyway, so why wouldn't they be?

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    You forgot the 2 minute prep while watching the other guild like a hawk, only to be pressured into pulling the boss early and wiping, then watching your competition curbstomp you. I can't believe I ever allowed myself to participate in this, even for a second. It was, without a doubt, the...

    Saw someone offering to run people through Titan for 60K in Revenant's yesterday. They're coming down a bit more every day. With the patch raising the polling rate in instances, fewer people die to standing in shit than before. And yes, come to Gilgamesh and join ISIS. We'll help you with...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    You can't realistically make money on BTC at this point unless you invest heavily or are rich (or foolish) enough to buy in to ASICs en masse. I cashed out last time the coins plateaued at ~250 before they fell sharply the next day. I don't see how anything has changed except their media...

    HM isn't nearly as "hard" as Pharos, though they're both easy if you have the gear. I'd say Copperbell is harder than either of them in that people have to actually pay attention. But, yes, I'd say the requirements are out of whack for the level of difficulty. I don't see an avg i48 anything...

    Altars of Ruin : angular js rpg

    Bought this for the luls and am pleasantly surprised at how much it reminds me of MUDs. Not the most advanced game ever made, for sure, but fun anyway, and it's a whopping $1.

    Can't remember the details, to be honest, but I think I was around, yeah. I tried to explain to him that allowing this bullshit to go on unfettered was going to be a problem in the long run, but he didn't want to listen to me because I'm an old man and I'm no fun. Oh well. Look at TMO now, right?

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    The server's underlying problem is that Everquest isn't an unknown anymore. Everything is known about every single encounter. There is no guesswork, and very little effort is required. Part of what made EQ fun was having to actually try. I mean, I'm sure AOW will still curbstomp everyone for...

    Hilarious. How they bitched and moaned and whined when IB/TR was on top... and look at them now. Arrogant, holier than thou, rotten to the core. Reap the whirlwind, fools.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    The thing is, Xasten, there was always bullshit going on behind the scenes, and the officers knew about it. I'm talking about Faz's bad attitude. Fz's multi boxing. Various other things, like spying on other guilds' forums, even after crying about how horrible it was that IB was spying on TMO's...

    Nah. It was broken. Way, way too easy to get to 50 in any craft just by buying HQ shit and handing it in. I did 4 crafts from low level to 50 in ~5 days, and I wasn't even buying the finished product, I was making pretty much everything myself. This will make finishing the last few crafting...
