    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Heh, yeah. The storyline quests are a bit harder than the solo class/job quests. As far as primals go, at least with newbies in appropriate gear, I always thought Garuda was more demanding than Titan even though he comes later.

    Animations can make or break the perceived quality of your models. Luclin models were far and away better than classic EQ models, but they lacked any character (like ogre butt scratching) and normal animations were very robotic. Landmark animations on the other hand are pretty great. Every...

    Get good and dual wield. Str to 40, Dex to whatever you need, other stats as you will.

    I kind of feel like glove touching on main events is stupid anyway. Main events always start with the ref talk and they always have an opportunity to touch gloves. They don't need to do it again 3 seconds later.

    Durability loss is apparently tied to the amount of frames that you're hitting something, so if you're playing at 60fps instead of 30 you basically have 2x durability loss.

    Class quests are stupid easy. Primals can be a little difficult if you're in a completely newbie group that doesn't know the mechanics, but otherwise nothing is terribly difficult until you hit 50.

    No. Upgraded my hardware doubling my fps, started NG+ and broke my god damn washing pole before I got to the first bonfire.

    That's well and great, but also not what I was talking about. No one killed AoW for questing purposes, they killed him because he was the hardest raid target of his era and had amazing loot. I'm talking about EPIC quests, meaningful unique class weapons and armor, quests for spells, etc. I'm not...

    Good loot should be the main attraction for quests anyway. It doesn't make any sense taking on a perilous quest/journey if all you're going to get at the end is gold and some exp. Fuck that. I want weapon and armor quests that progress nicely just like classic EQ had.

    It's got some ghosting though if you're someone that notices those things. Also, the sound is loud, but I don't know I'd call it good. 1-10 is basically the same volume level, it can't be very quiet.

    Funny enough most goons are awful, can't do that, and get the class a bad rep. Good goons are awesome DPS but bads are abundant because they look cool.

    You're right, I bet the whole voxel system is probably just a plugin they load when the engine starts and they call it a day. They probably don't have any new problems to solve and the technical issues are exactly the same.

    I had an antec 900 years back. Great for ventilation, but yeah I had issues with cables as well. I have a bitfenix prodigy for this new build, and though its the smallest case I've ever had, the cable management is pretty awesome.

    Not really, very few games if any will use that much RAM and anything that isn't used is basically wasted. Unless you do a lot of multitasking while gaming you aren't going to see a ton of benefit. That said, I'm sure mod-heavy games like Skyrim could probably push your memory to the limit...

    Habit is a recent newcomer here in San Diego and it's actually pretty similar to In n Out, but you have more options. They have a "santa barbara" style burger with sourdough and avocado $$.

    It's the developer's fault. They're too pussy to offer different graphical quality based on platform because they don't want MS/Sony to get mad at them if they make one shine and the other sucks.

    I worked at a KB toys during the christmas season one year and the back room probably had more merchandise in it than the front did. It was ridiculous how much time we spent unloading, unboxing and attaching price tags. We had a couple of dudes that never even stepped foot in the front of the store.

    I kind of assumed that Elves would be differentiated the same way sub-races are handled in FFXIV. IE, choose a Lala and then you decided Plainsfolk or Dunesfolk.

    My cook wife has always told me that bamboo is preferred for cutting boards because it's antibacterial/microbial. I suppose the sustainability is a nice perk if you're into that.

    My only problem with the R7 is that it's not compatible with OSX and I am going the Hackintosh route here. Believe I'd have to get an R9 270.

    I have a windows phone, have had one since they came out and overall I love the OS. That said, even with the 8.1 Cortana update, it just can't keep up with Android.

    I was looking at some Radeon options but opted to stick with Nvidia because I've had TV overscan scaling issues with ATI in the past. Even so, if I can get 30fps on ultra 1080p I'll consider that a win. Most of my previous games I had to play at 720p if I wanted even high settings and that...

    Headlines act like the problem is that he used the thinspiration hashtag, but I think the comments about someone's dad not wearing a condom and the request of someone to commit suicide are the real culprits here.
