    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    FFXIV, and to a lesser extent, TERA.

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

    My god... I thought I recognized your style, but I didn't quite see it for sure until now. Welcome to Rerolled, Steve Ballmer. Still throwin' them chairs?

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

    Yep, Sony is not a leader. Video game console - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "The PlayStation spawned a whole lineup of consoles from generation to generation and has earned Sony great respect as a video game company, becoming the first video game system to sell over 100 million consoles."

    Has the lua/JSON thing above been confirmed yet? If so, I think this game takes the prize.

    If we ignore the fact that SSL is not always secure, you're more or less right, but you're discounting the idea of a MITM entirely here. Why? Do you think that all FFXIV related sites are somehow immune to malware? You do remember that Rerolled had a trojan warning in an ad pane not too long...

    A duck is a duck is a duck. If the formula hasn't changed since 2004 (and it really hasn't), the comparisons are entirely valid.

    Well, ping != latency, but still. I'd love to see a source on this. Unless, of course, that source is actually his arse, in which case I'll pass.

    There is so much wrong with this post that I'm not even sure where to begin. But, here we go. 1. Yes, you can "just go" to their login server and get to "the page". HTTP is a query-response protocol. You provide the session ID within the proper request, you get a login ticket. That's...

    Oh, it was on sale? Haha. I had no clue. I have the PC version from ages ago lying around somewhere.

    No. FFXIV 1.0 used Crystal Tools. ARR uses something newer, probably a revamped version. Aion uses CryEngine.

    The problem isn't even that people were suspended, because it's likely that the majority of those suspended had done something wrong. The real problem is that nothing has been done to stop anyone else from exploiting to get that much gil again, so everyone should essentially be afraid of their...

    Silkroad seized, DPR arrested

    Whenever I read that a web site "generated" revenue of BTC, I shake my head because the writers (or the reporters, or the sources, or all of them) don't understand how the currency works. 9 million BTC may have flowed through the Silk Road at some point, but they weren't likely unique BTC, and...

    Going to try this ASAP myself. I am quite near to Montreal (~200km), but it's entirely possible that I will get better QoS going through a VPN to the US. Routing can be funny that way.

    It's not berating. It's educating. My healers were simply too nice to mention that I was taking more damage and was harder to keep alive.

    Still having fun in this game. Turn 2 in Coil tomorrow night, and I'm looking forward to it, even though it means an evening of death for me. Meh!

    Aw, bugger. BFL got wise and canceled my order, so I'm out $300 or so in BTC for the upgrades. Oh well! It's not like ~37GH/s was going to make me any money anyway by the time they actually ship May 2013 orders.

    He's correct. Coil aggro is another beast entirely. Our healers get aggro now and then because they simply can't stop healing without notice, or we'll very likely die within seconds. Disclaimer: I'm not a bad tank, and neither is the other tank in my Coil group.

    I have, on average, a 5 second queue for AK as a tank, if that. Not that I would ever DF AK again. Fuck that.

    ^ This. The vast majority of MMO gamers have some sort of smartphone, and there are free token apps available for this game. If someone happens to be a luddite and refuses to get a phone, the physical authenticator is super cheap. I'll never understand why people don't use them.

    The Long Dark

    It's first-person and single player only, so this belongs in Other Games, IMO. Looks interesting, though, and sounds challenging.

    What? If you're saying that you have access to the same cross-class abilities with your job class as with your main class, you're completely wrong.

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    It's a bus speed thing. SSDs do show an improvement in speed over 7200RPM drives (of course), but the improvement is marginal and isn't generally worth the price increase. I seem to remember reading that the PS3 doesn't support TRIM, either, so the speed of your SSD will suffer over time anyway...

    Phone benchmark tests are hilarious, especially when they compare the results to a "full sized computer".
