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

    Lets be real here, though. Sony has pretty much dominated the entire gaming market since the PS1, it wasnt even close its still not even close. It was only the 360 which they lost the ground on in the US. But still won the world sales figures. So its not like Microsoft has been winning some war...

    That might be true for the Chinese juice, and I would personally not trust it. But most of the US stuff is handcrafted and awesome flavors if you go to the right places. Also I have been watching some videos on how to mix your own juice. Its not difficult and this is where it suppossedly gets...

    Look, I have been trying to quit smoking for the past 10 yrs. Fuck who am I kidding, for the last 15 yrs. And each time with a relapse into full blown smoking. I have been doing this since I was 15, thats 25 yrs of smoking, give or take the years I have quit. You see, not all people can just up...

    Funny thing is that there is more studies on vaping e cigs than there is real cigs. There is still some 2000 compounds in tobacco smoke which have not been recognized.

    Anyway, so I was looking all around for a good price on an Ego C twist and most of the starter kits were like $80. So looking further I found some Chinese place that had then for 1/2 the price. Yeah, I will have to wait a few weeks to get my shit, but here is what I got.... Not bad for...

    I think the always connected thing will end up biting them in the ass as well. I have a few buds at work that are vapid 360 fans but they swear that they will not bother with the new one and their "always connected" requirement. Also fuck x box live and the cost associated with that too. I have...

    Yeah I heard you can use gun hacks like they used to use in Borderlands to modify stats of guns and shit. Anyway, this game needs more and varied content.

    Desktop Computers

    And no SSD which IMO is pretty much a requirement these days for performance. I guess you could always add one. And I would ask them if you get the win disk with it. Also ask them if you can go without the 650ti which is crap. Or at least upgrade to 660ti.

    Buying a car?

    Rotors can cost anywhere from $30-$200 ea. So yeah you are right. But why the fuck are you gonna spend $200 for a rotor? The average price is about $50 for a good rotor, so thats $200 for all 4. Non metallic pads run $35 for a set of fronts and rears so thats another $70. And im sure the shop...

    Meh, im not sure the education system is slipping as you are saying. I have 2 kids in public schools and from what I see they are pushing them harder than when I was a kid. The both are doing math and reading at a level way higher than I at their age and they get tons of homework to do, way more...

    Buying a car?

    Umm, WTF? Is this like a Lamborghini? Also you should learn to do this shit yourself. Changing break pads and replacing rotors is like $150 for the entire car and it takes about a hour. Im no car mechanic and I dont really want to fuck with that shit either, but hearing stories like yours...

    Its literally the worst mistake I made in my life and one of the only things I truly regret, is starting to smoke. LOL, my parents told me, but I did not listen.

    Yeah, I remember reading about that story-bricks thing when it was posted at FOH a while back. Definitely seemed interesting. Will look forward to see how they integrate this into the game. Definitely sparks some new hope in this game because of that.

    Because from what I read its 1000x better than smoking a regular cig. Obviously if I were not a smoker I would not be doing this. And I already feel better. I nolonger wheeze, Im getting my smell back and overall just feel better. BTW why was this thread moved? Im not reviewing products here?

    Anyone here use E-cigarettes? Its been about 16 days of me using it and so far I have not had one real cig and I have not felt the urge to have one yet. Although I have not drank yet.

    Waht fun is it to exactly have everything outlined for you before you even begin to play the game? What spec you should be to the last point, what gear you should be wearing down to the last ring and enchant. Its nothing more than a fucking checklist at that point. I dont want to play a...

    Well with live events like that I have to agree. But on the other hand you were flooded with shit that was not necessarily true either with no way to know. At least the media is held to a higher standard, like having certainty before reporting some shit. But look at the event now. Without the...

    No there is just something to be said about leaving a bit of mystery around some shit rather than having every ounce of your game turn into a massive spreadsheet. Thats all. It just makes the entire thing boring, and tiring in the end.

    Thank god my industry (automotive engineering) went full blown business casual back in the mid 90s. I hated wearing ties and shit. Now its all about a nice shirt, some docker type pants and you're good to go. So much more comfortable sitting in the office all day long now.

    Take healing in WoW for an example. Without a proper mouseover mod, its damn near impossible to heal now because they design the game around it.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Sure it trivialized shit at first, THEN they designed around it. Then more mods came out, and then they design around those...etc... So for you to be a properly equipped raider in WoW, you have to have this and that specific mod or else you are fail. Remember the whole decurse fiasco?

You can even make the system more intelligent if its an instanced raid. For instance, if you try to cheese the...
