NM, wrong thread.

For one CZ SSDs are terrible! they have like the worst failure rate out of any of the SSD manufacturers. Stay away from that shit. 2)That noctura or whatever the fuck its called heat sink is a waste of money, bro. Cooler master 212 is 1/2 the price and 98% the performance. 3)Im assuming...

LOL, they have been saying that the PC gaming is dying for decades now and it still has not met its death. In fact PC game sales have been up recently. The thing that sucks for PC gaming now is that its run entirely by the consoles and their ports. Save maybe a few titles here and there that are...

They better start suing AT&T as well then, because my Uverse DVR does exactly that. I dont think Ive watched a commercial in the past year.

This is true. My older son (11) has posed some questions and such about God and other things. I just try to answer as truthful as I can and not taking a bias either way. He asked me one day is there a God? I basically told him that some people believe there is one and some people do not believe...

Honestly, photography is just like any other art form. You can get a true artist with a $120 point and click take pictures that are 1000X better than your average Joe Schmoe with the latest gadgets, $2000 DSLR setups and such. Granted a true artist would have all the tools as well, but just...

LOL, thats funny that he spent $400-500 for that setup when he only plays mmos. He could of got by with much, much less. Its like bringing a Corvette to a rickshaw race.

I have played the recent EQ. Me and a few close friends visit Norrath every couple of years to check it out. And while its not the same game, obviously, its still EQ at heart just with modern improvements. Im not an EQ purist though and I quite like the EQ of today.

Its not really uncharted. The only difference being that you are teaching them the hows and whys that you dont treat people badly or do bad things because of the real world consequences, not some fictitious fears over what will happen in a supposed afterlife. We did the same thing with our...

Yeah I think PoP turned EQ away from being a group centric game into a raid centric game, it sort of tilted the scales.

Steam also shows that maybe games are overpriced?http://www.edge-online.com/features/...too-expensive/

When Planetside 2 was in the last stages of beta, there was a lot of discussion about core utilization on the forums. People were bitching that for a CPU heavy game like PS2, why was it not utilizing more than 1 or 2 cores. I could be wrong because Im not following PS2 anymore, but to this day I...

Yeah, I dont buy this entire Vanguard failed because it was EQlike. It failed because at the time, it had shitty performance on even the best hardware, it was buggy, and had an unfinished end game. You are arguing that Vanguard failed because it was an EQ clone rather than the reality of the...

I read this in another article about the subject, although I cannot find it.

I agree Ranger, I already pay the cable company a shit ton of money each month and we only use like 1/20 of the crap they bundle it all with. Couple this with the overpriced shitty internet service and a land line (wife) , Im already paying $230 per month. Then there is netflix that I pay for...

Use VPN from a trusted servicehttp://lifehacker.com/5935863/five-b...vice-providers

This week, the five main Internet service providers will roll out a new system to curtail illegal downloading. Violators will get emails from their ISP, whether AT&T, Cablevision, Verizon, Time Warner Cable or Comcast. After six of those emails, the penalties get a bit stiffer, and your Internet...

It definitely adds to the game play as well since you only have a limited view rather than seeing everything around you at all times like 3rd person gives you. Especially when you are 100% zoomed out.

The 80s called, they said they want their old NIN back.

This game just does not have the feeling of the older BF games like my favorite, Brothers in Arms. The PC version is still serviceable, but IMO the console versions are shit because of the 12 player limit. Even the cropped maps are shit because you get like 2 people in tanks, 2 people in jets ...

Holy shit, weren't you guys arguing about this shit on Friday?

The main problem with non instanced content is not the items that drop, usually this pretty much self regulates itself ingame. But what does suck is the campers and if the game is popular it will be flooded with 100s of Chinese farmers to get the items. this is where the problem lies and new...

All I gotta say is do not sterilize everything like some parents do. Im a firm believer in germs being good for your kids, as it builds up their immunities. So many new parents go down the route of being germaphobes, sanitizing everything the kid touches that it, IMO, does more harm than good...

Thats funny, because this is what I did to my molding in my house and it still looks great after many years. It looks a lot better than having a gaping hole between the molding and the wall like it did when we moved in. (Whomever did it did a shitty job) You just have to get the right stuff, not...

Exactly, or like I said, use phasing like WoW does to separate the boss battles. Even anarchy Online, back in like 2002 had massive social dungeons, but if they got too full, they would spawn instances of the entire dungeon. I just hate how WoW ended up with the shitty 20min one hallway...

I would rather see large sprawling social dungeons with areas which are phased for certain boss encounters. Best of both worlds IMO, oh ,and fuck instances.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013...suspected-rape WTF is wrong with people?

Yeah, lets discuss death penalty...

Nexus 7 or go home, IMO.

What would be nice is if these next gen consoles connected to the home network so you could use them as a sort of media hub.

My relatively hard core guild, like second on their server, basically told everyone to start getting their alts to 90.

Yeah, and lets not forget that traveling in EQ was dangerous and exciting at times as well. Anything from the odd red mob roaming, to having to travel through zones with much higer level mobs in them as a whole. Later this was replaced with see invis mobs and such in certain zones you had to...

Yeah this is about the time I lost interest as well. It would not be so bad if the dungeon queues were less than 30-40 min like they were on my cluster. That was the only fun thing, even if it was doing the same dungeons over and over again. But the whole quest grind thing can fuck off already.

From my understanding the next gen consoles might as well be called PCs anyway, so yeah, it makes sense. Same with Palnetside 2 as well.

Everything you say is true. They just went the safe mode way, except it really wasn't safe, was it? The problem with these games is that they take so long to complete, that all this shit probably sounded like a good idea back in 2005 or 2006 when this game was initially conceptualized. But here...

What made me see the entire plane on a treadmill problem in another light is imagining the airplane taking off from moving water. And then the light went off. No math needed. BTW, that helicopter one is a classic, I laughed my ass off.

Yeah, I mean we do run our asses off in these games, that's true. But what really matters, especially now that were all pretty much seasoned mmo players, is how the travel and other designed in time sinks are masked. In vanilla wow I did not mind the running, because the entire notion of...

Ill do some more testing tonight but thats (4.2) what I have it set at. Reading a bit about it on the nets basically tells me that you do in fact need to fuck with the vcore to get it to OC to the range of 4.4 and over with huge temp increase so Im not sure if its even worth it.

Thats funny because in WoW or Rift or any other modern MMORPG, its the same shit. You have essentially 1-2 raid dungeon(s) with 5+ bosses you do over and over again, until the devs grace you with another patch in 4+ months adding another 5 bosses. Oh and dailies.... The point being is that...
