    Well here is one for $100. I would be apprehensive about using Intell HD graphics. But if you want to scrimp, by all means. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...CE&PageSize=20 I guess he could always ad one later if he needed one. Also do you have a microcenter near you, if you do you...

    Same thing can be said about the 15 button rotations of WoW. If you really think about it, what options did you have there? You hit the same keys, in the same sequence, like every other good player did, because if you didnt you were not top DPS on the DPS meter and you were then shunned and...

    Buying a car?

    There is basically no quality distinctions between the Foreign auto makers and the big three like there was in the 90s and early 2000s. The big three definitely got their shit together since then and are producing top notch shit. But I would still not buy a Chrysler. :P

    Looks good, although with video editing he might be better off with the i7. But if its just light stuff i5 would be allright. The PSU is way overkill, look a page or two back, I linked a few that are better and wont burn down your house. I would definitely add a GPU, like a 7850 or a 660. For...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Going to the gas station in the morning to get a quick coffee and realizing there is some black bitch buying lotto tickets. But not like a white person, no. No fucking easy picks. Instead, 20 tickets with her families birthdays and other random numbers. 20 min later I can finally pay for my...

    Yeah, I just dont know about the longevity of this game. I understand that they have some faction grinds? I have not gotten there yet. But once the story ends, WTF then? Am I missing something?

    Yeah I saw that on Dark Matters, on the Science channel or some shit. Quite fascinating. Thing was that back in those days, no one knew the effects of radiation poisoning to that level, and I guess they found out the hard way.

    Either way you might be right, I just do not think alienating people is the right answer here. Think about it this way, you give too many people the thumbs down, because you are THAT good, and they all suck, might effect your queue times as well.

    I dont really think its even thousands. Even in a game like WoW. In MOP on a relatively populated server battlegroup (Arthas) I saw the same people over and over running LFD, so I dont think its as many people as you think it is.

    I think the vote kick system WoW has basically accomplishes this without alienating anyone. Cross server or not, eventually the thumbs down people would have less and less people to group with.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The problem with systems like that is people tend to vote negative because someone fucked up their good time. But rarely would they give someone a thumbs up unless forced to somehow. Its human nature. Also what happens to the bad people then? Those with 50+ thumbs down? Do they only get to...

    LOL, I actually have that one. Except its an older version. I just used to buy the books while I was at the book store fucking around, so if it looked good I bought it. There are also websites that teach the stuff, although it escapes me now since its been a while that I was into that kind...

    See, this is the fucking problem. why do you want to group then? Why not just have solo McDungeons so you dont ever have to be social again. Then you wont be bothered when your skyping.

    Im not anti LFG either, its just the way its set up in WoW sucks, and it sucks the life out of that game. come up with something different. How bout when you enter an area the dungeon is in, you turn on the LFG switch and you are then automatically put into a group based on your class. Problem...

    SWTOR

    Again, there was a developer lead that was posting on somethingawful and he said it himself that the number one mistake SWTOR made was focus 80% of the resources on the story bullshit, rather than doing something sensible and going like 50% story and 50% end game.

    Im not saying that games like this should not exist, to me its just not a MMORPG anymore. I just dont think that its good for MMORPG to be heading down that slippery road of LFD and LFR and whatever else they decide to add to the queue.

    while I did enjoy the LFD in WoW last time I played. It essentially turned WoW into a lobby game. All I did was stand in Org and spam LFD until I was 85. And while some of the earlier dungeons were cool, even the dummbed down versions of BRD or BFD...etc. the later ones were nothing but a few...

    401K loans? good option?

    Actually, mine does not work like that.... You may only initiate a loan while an active team member with CKNA. If you leave service with an outstanding loan balance you have the option to continue making loan payments on your own via coupon payments. The fee to convert a loan to coupon...

    401K loans? good option?

    Well that at least makes more sense Corndog. Also Ive read that the double taxation is a myth. This is incorrect, as the only thing that is double taxed is the interest you are required to pay, which is minimal. If you borrow $10,000 from your retirement plan, you receive $10,000 to use as you...

    401K loans? good option?

    Well keep in mind that im on a budget, Im the only one which works so money comes and money goes. The car loan thing at the dealership was all based around a monthly payment, what I could afford, which was around $300 month, give or take, so that basically means I get a more shitty car (around...

    Maybe what he meant to say is that its more hidden than it is in other games where you actually have a kill tracker or a 20% quest item drop rate. Or worse yet competing for kills with 3 other people. I dont know, I dont mind the quests in this game. They are quick for the most part, they are...

    401K loans? good option?

    So why not? What are the drawbacks? Its only a 5 yr loan. so I either lose from the investment or lose my cash to a bank with the 11% bullshit. Granted you do have a good point on the credit thing.

    Meh, I still prefer my games on PC. I hate playing shooter type games with a controller. My fucking thumbs do not work correct I guess and I end up sucking. Trust me Ive tried my kids 360 CoDs and Battlefields and Halos and I just cannot get it with a fucking controller. But thats just me.

    So here is my situation. Back in like 2009 one of my rental properties we owned went into foreclosure. Shit was bad at the time, we lost a renter and could not replace him, and could not cover the place ourselves. so we ended up losing the property. Credit fucked after being close to 800 all my...

    I would hesitate adding tile floor in the kitchen. I did that in my old house and I regretted it. For one, tile can easily chip.

    I did the 64 vs 64 one and it was all snipers and Cloak + Detonator. Probably why its getting "Tuned", LoL. I found the PvP fun, but the respawn timer was kind of harsh at 45 seconds. Thats a long fucking time to wait.
