    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I pre-ordered through SE and just got a notification that they've shipped and charged my credit card. Not showing on the statement yet, that'll take a couple days anyway.

    WORKING. PLEASE WAIT... There was a problem. Please try again later. Shouldn't that read "not working, please wait"?

    No, no way to skip the beginning cutscene, or some of the others further in. Thankfully these appear to be few and far between, but still, you shouldn't be forced to watch them.

    EQ - The Sleeper

    "New", undetectable, unstoppable cheats. LOL. I love how this guy has absolutely no idea what the fuck he's talking about.

    Crashed to desktop just after I started the quests for my second job and 1017'd now. Guess I'm out until early access. Still, I'm hooked. Everything looks good, 3102s notwithstanding. This game might go places.

    Yeah. Again, though, that just smacks of greed. They probably didn't want to pay some Chinese company to assemble because they figured they could do it cheaper (but more slowly) domestically. Oh well. What can you do?

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    They should be processing orders by order number and/or time of payment received, period. To do anything else smacks of incompetence. But hey, we already knew that. Got a note from Paypal that they've received the chargeback from MasterCard today, and it noted that no further action was...

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    Oh, what the hell. In for an inch, in for a mile... I changed my pledge to Developer. At best, I'll be able to talk about a bunch of the dev forum content here. At worst, I can bring concerns to the devs directly from here.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah, I don't doubt that they're shipping. The problem that I have with the whole thing is their production rate vs. the amount of money they took in. When they saw that orders were coming in by the thousands, the sensible thing to do would have been to ramp up production (like, say, the Pebble...

    BFL never replied to my email. MasterCard refunded me and is disputing the payment now. BFL essentially has a small number of days to prove that they've shipped the product to me and I've received it or they'll have to give it up. I can't help but think they knew exactly what was going to...

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    That was quick. They met their second reach goal today. Double the character and monster models, and more music from Uematsu. $$$. I'm hoping they get all the way to the $1mil reach goal. A "fully explorable overworld" is always good.

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    Haven't used a hair dryer, but I've used a heat gun several times on my 60GB (gen 1). I think I've reached the end of the road with it, though, because it artifacts a bit now and that's probably a signal that something got damaged last time I repaired the YLOD. That said, NnK is a great game...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Not bothering with the lawyer. I called MasterCard and they will dispute the charge for me as soon as I get a response from BFL, which will most likely be "no refunds, sorry". Plenty of people will get fucked by BFL. I just want to make sure I'm not one of them. The rest are on their own...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Was fun while it lasted, but my mining hardware is now off (too expensive to continue at this difficulty), and I've just sent an email to BFL to cancel my order. Hopefully they listen to reason. By the time I actually get the hardware, difficulty will be so inflated that I won't stand a chance...

    Tablets

    First of all, always check:http://jailbrea.kr Short answer: If you're at 6.1.3 or above, you're hosed. Wait for iOS 7 GM and there will likely be a jailbreak released as the teams don't want to burn their exploits on 6.1.3/6.1.4. I can list quite a few jailbreak apps that are helpful to...

    EQ Never

    Fair points. However, just because the sword and board is no longer relegated to mashing taunt every few seconds doesn't mean that he shouldn't be the guy trying his damnedest to get the mob's attention. It's one thing to say that you value the idea of using tactics and terrain to your advantage...

    Frodo didn't skill up daggers, though. He couldn't hit a moss snake.

    EQ Never

    The novelty of being a kiting DPS warrior with a pet and a tanking priest wore off fairly quickly for me in Rift (and other games like it), so yes, traditional tanking/healing/dpsing is a good thing. Or are you one of those people that likes the idea of having no set role so that you can be...

    Sigh. Another misguided reporter saying "they are trying to regulate it". The judge is simply saying "no, this has a value, you are a Ponzi scheme fraudster, and you can't hide behind the fact that you were paid in BTC anymore".

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    Yeah, the Android version won't take iOS codes, and vice-versa. Not sure about the dupe filled mess, but it's somewhat likely that there is cheating going on. That's the case with pretty much every decently popular TCG, it would seem. I haven't played long enough to know which of the...

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    You get a reward at 1 person invited (Gremorycard), then 3/5 (same guardian,Iduncard), then 7/10 (same guardian,Artemiscard). It is advantageous to get both the 3 and the 5 reward (and both the 7 and 10), because you need two of the same guardian to create a stronger one through fusion. Note...

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    WTB some folks signing up for Guardian Cross on iOS. It's free and it would help me (and you, actually, if you want to actually play) out. You get a free 4 star guardian for signing up with someone else's code. It's a card fighting game, a la Square Enix, so it's decent. My code's SK97219...

    Wonder what they mean by "depending on Windows version" for qHD+. Hopefully that doesn't mean Win8 only. Looks pretty sweet. No prices though?

    Kegz (not Kegkilla) caught DDOSing P99, drags his RL job/company into the mess

    Basic explanation: Firewalls still have to inspect incoming traffic to allow or deny that traffic. When you are sending traffic to a site in the sheer amount that is generally involved with a DDoS, some firewalls can be overwhelmed and unable to cope with the amount of incoming traffic. This, in...

    Kegz (not Kegkilla) caught DDOSing P99, drags his RL job/company into the mess

    His "company" is probably made up of him, himself and he. Apart from a very generic web site that makes him looks somewhat Tyen-ish, a quick search on Google turns up a bunch of dubstep shit hosted from that server, and nothing else. They have a handful of clients, all of whose sites look fairly...

    Kegz (not Kegkilla) caught DDOSing P99, drags his RL job/company into the mess

    Oh, wow. Maybe he'll finally disappear now. And since he's essentially admitted to attacking Rogean's server, maybe there will be charges. Kegz is the gift that keeps on giving. It's a thing of beauty.

    Entirely possible that it simply isn't running hot enough to display any artifacts when you aren't doing anything with it (or when it's in safe mode, which means it isn't loading the driver anyway and isn't trying to do much work). You should try to run something like FurMark to see if it only...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    LOLed at this. What a great way of putting it. No matter what kind of dog you have, there is always the possibility that it may get angry (and aggressive) under some stimulus. The same can be said for pretty much any animal, humans included. To think otherwise is just naive.

    Now that you mention it, I had a similar issue with my m11x. That Killer driver that ships with the system is bullshit. Got the latest from their site and no problems since.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Quaid, he may be referring to the fact that if your AC completely mitigates a hit, it's not really a hit, per se. He's just saying it wrong. I'm going to get my emu back up at some point and test this myself, and post the results somewhere. Won't be here as this is a massive derail. I'll use...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Really? From my eqemu source: So, yeah, there is AC-based mitigation in eqemu code. It even allows for item shielding %, AA, etc. Not that you can see this, because you've got me on ignore, but hey, that's not my problem. I haven't run the parses (yet), but I will do so eventually, because I'm...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Dunno who you played with, Big P, but my former guild made a name for themselves in part by steamrolling other guilds and taking content. So did the rest of the big name guilds in the early, non-instanced days of EQ. The only reason P99 has such a problem with this behaviour is that line that...
