    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just started playing d3 again. LAst time I logged in was like, 2 weeks after release, lol. I knew that the mudflation would be intense by now but I was still like a kid in a candy store buying shit for 50,000 gold that would've cost 15million back when I played, lol. Is the typical strat...

    This was a really fascinating article and while it makes sense when you think about it, it kind of blew my mind: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/page/3/

    Hey Sean they're going to cripple PS4's graphics to be the same as xbone's and your TV will fail as soon as the warranty expires.

    Anyone have an opinion about the PVP? I'm really interested in seeing if it's any good.

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    Changing forms is fine. Having this characters we stop caring about changing forms is completely forgettable and worthless.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Iannis you talking about ? I'm surprised you're surprised it looks like that.... I always thought that molecular diagrams were somewhat accurate (If arbitrarily 2 dimensional) representations of matter.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Protip: You might be able to get them to reconsider a few conspiracy theories, especially if they believe the particularly stupid ones (faked moon landing, chem trails etc) but believing in many conspiracy theories isn't a problem that can be fixed by more information. It's a state of mind or a...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Just tried making eggs benedict for the first time. Never poached eggs or made hollandaise sauce. Culinary disaster. My hollandaise turned out just ok, probably subpar, but it took me several tries and a youtube video to learn how to poach eggs and by that time the butter was so separated...

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Ancient come at me bro. The chances of getting N heads in a row are always twice as likely as getting N+1 heads in a row. That's all I'm saying. Doesn't matter if N = 1 or N=9.

    Yes, 1024-512 != 4-2

    In that 4/2 = 1024/512, yes. I don't know what you're arguing or are asking. and lol @ a_skeleton_03 saying we rely on probabilities too much because the math is too hard. I really miss intrade =\

    The definition of investment is loose enough that anything that adds value or possibly saves you money could be considered an investment, so yes. That's why I ask people what the expected return on investment is, because the answer is inevitably, "I don't mean a real investment, I mean I'm...

    What the fuck is going on in this thread. Settle down with the insults people it's a fucking phone thread and not srs bsns like the xbone/ps4 thread. Next person to continue this shit is getting a kick in the nuts.

    This is why I just ask people what their expected return on investment is when they abuse the word 'investment'. It's always either some sales guy trying to confuse some dumbass or some dumbass trying to confuse themselves. DMK you really should slow down and think about the ideas being...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    Killing 4H in vanilla Naxx was probably my favorite PVE boss memory. I have a ton of mass PVP memories. The most epic one was probably in shadowbane in the third world war of Treachery where the All Father got 600 people to fight our 200 people (These were GM counts, not ours) and lost. One...

    Not really, no. No more than 1:2 (one flip) vs 1:4 (two flips).

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    I always spent gratuitous amounts of time in GTA games looking for specific cars to take to missions. And inevitably half the missions are, "Oh I see you showed up in a porsche. Take my car, yes, that four banger, and talk to this guy. No you leave that porsche there."

    Its .5^9 vs .5^10 Its not a huge disparity, one is twice the likelihood of the other.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Yup. It's fine to exercise with more complexity than is needed for fun, but one of the foundations of problem solving is to reduce the problem to its most basic components. Worrying about sample sizes for this problem is not doing that.

    Does this horror game actually have real gameplay? I could never get far in these games because there wasn't any real choice by the player.

    Breaking Bad

    It's clever usage of cinematography, but foreshadowing assumes Walt gets shot in the head. That's pretty unlikely. There was so much foreshadowing this season that Hank was going to be put into jail, but that's not how it played out. This show isn't about creating neat packages with all the...

    Yeah getting an xbone over a ps4 because it's easier to get at launch doesn't make much sense given that the best exclusives aren't available at launch right?

    I haven't watched deal or no deal because it's an awful show, but I imagine that this type of principle wouldn't apply in it because it's more of a continuous spectrum of reward instead of a bunch of goats and cars. If there were 31 briefcases, 1 of which had a million and 30 of which had $1...

    I agree with you. In addition I think Skylar knew that if she played into Marie's hand things would go better for her if it was true. And if it wasn't true it wouldn't matter.

    poll: will the us dollar be replaced as the world's reserve currency?

    What's the word for a change in the environment that creates new conditions for natural selection to occur? Evolutionary stimuli? Let the most windmill averse california condor survive.

    Guild Wars 2

    I don't play GW2 because they nerfed ride the lightning but I agree that there should be boss mobs that are difficult to kill and are typically roaming around. Maybe I just miss Gorenaire smashing fools all day long until a guild came by and killed her.
