    Men's Fashion

    Those Dockers may be a great call for non-court days- thanks. Going to order a pair and see how they look/fit. Was also going to look intoShop Allbut I didn't know how much of their appeal was snazzy marketing and how much was actually performance.

    Men's Fashion

    Funny you should mention that. Right before I made that post I checked online and found a J Crew style I really like but they have zero color options for the Bowery Slim line. They literally only have ONE color option for each material (Irish linen, Japanese Chambray, etc). Kind of crazy they...

    Men's Fashion

    I need new dress pants that are stylish but won't break my bank- anyone have recommendations? I like slimmer fit, flat front style (non-wrinkle preferably). I tried Jos A Banks and Men's Warehouse, but everything I tried was boxy, and wide-legged with a huge crotch. I would be looking to...

    A 30 year quest/dream maybe this week

    Listen man, if the Remington thing doesn't work out, just pick yourself out something from here:MOBA : The Collection There are some true masterpieces in that collection and they can be had for bargain prices. Good luck though, for real.

    Easy there superstar. If you read above that post you quoted you'll see I was no fan of the spell book thing either.

    I'm not dismissing you, I'm just suggesting you look at some of those features in another light.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Don't get me wrong. Obviously you're free to judge anything you'd like. I'm just saying in my opinion if your judgment ignores a feature's value to the overall gestalt then your judgment has limited usefulness as it relates to the game as a whole.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Gestalt. Trying to break down games by picking and choosing individual aspects and parts of those games never works. The value of each individual aspect of a game can only truly be judged when viewed through the lens of how that feature contributed to the game as a greater whole. The question...

    True Detective

    The writers have clearly conveyed the following things about Mcadams' character: 1. She has daddy issues; 2. She enjoys something sexual that most women wouldn't normally request from their partner; 3. has an "outside the bedroom" persona that is clearly opposed to things she considers...

    Project 2002 - The Age of Al'Kabor - release date 3/21/15

    Followup review from my earlier review: My room mate and I have gotten our cleric/chanter/monk/pally/mage/mage group up to 40. We've been taking things slowly and doing quests for fun (Ro armor, Jboots, etc). I was concerned that the longer we played on the server the more problems we would...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Again, The Dark Tower series was tiedveryintimately with "reality." The reality of it is, most stories don't end in storybook fashion, they end at a truck stop in Duluth, or with an ignoble death in the mud of a ditch, or with an unexpected car crash- all those things that actually happen that...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    I suppose I can understand that. But Wind was basically done in the exact same vein as the story of Roland and Susan in Wizard and I think King is at his best when telling stories like that. It didn't disappoint, either.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    It was a good book, too (The Wind Through the Keyhole). I don't think The Dark Tower is over yet, so don't be so salty. King has hinted as much, anyway.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    I agree. People wanted some type of storybook ending, but the novels were never going to end that way- you could see that from very early on. What makes King great is his affinity for the Truth and his ability to capture realities that may be inconvenient to the story but that nevertheless...

    The Martian (2015)

    He "Mcguyvers" a whole lot more than just the HAB (base). He actually does quite a few pretty amazing/ingenious things to survive (above and beyond Mcguyver stuff) in a ridiculously inhospitable environment. It's not just Damon's character, either. NASA has to try an overcome some virtually...

    The Martian (2015)

    I'm going to take a guess and say that the movie will be heavier on the psychology and lighter on the science than the book- but be otherwise pretty faithful. Other than making Venkat Nigerian instead of Indian (for some reason).

    The Martian (2015)

    If you'd read the book you'd be more hyped. Trying to look at the trailer objectively I can see why it might underwhelm. The book was fantastic. Also, what the hell did they do to my favorite character (aside form Watney) Venkat Kapoor? They really couldn't find an Indian guy to play him?

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    I thought the story of young Roland and Susan Delgado in W&G was one of the best stories King has written- and I've read most of what he's written.

    Shit man, when' the patch that removes guise? I'm still a couple levels low for that camp and don't want to miss it ;p

    What did you just read?

    Gates of Fire.Pressfield. Wow. How did I miss this one for so long? Anyone who even slightly enjoys historical fiction (emphasis on military history) has to put this high on their list. What a fantastic book.

    Project 2002 - The Age of Al'Kabor - release date 3/21/15

    My room mate started a BST/Dru for when we couldnt be on at the same time and he is kind of struggling a bit with it. I'll second Dru/Mage. That would be a lethal combo on this server. Same with Necro/Dru. Enc/Dru is a great combo too, but it's better as a two-person duo than a box.

    Project 2002 - The Age of Al'Kabor - release date 3/21/15

    Since I asked for a review earlier, I'll go ahead and give my own now that I've been playing for several weeks. TL;DR: I've run the gamut with EQ Emu servers for more than a decade and this is probably the best original EQ option (other than P99). I won't get into why I'm not interested in...

    I figured out what the problem was. The instructions provided here:Project 2002 Loginare only going to work for people who already have the EQ Mac client. If you get it from this thread (like me) you will have to make adjustments. It's not difficult, but it took me a while to figure out...

    Like I said, check the tech help forums, there are others who have dead-ended with the instructions in the same place I am dead-ending. Regardless, I'm less interested in debating the efficacy of the instructions and more interested in getting this shit to work If you don't mind, check the...

    Thanks for the link. I checked it out and it's definitely missing some crucial steps. Either that or it assumes the reader is an expert Mac user, which I am definitely not. I posted in the tech help forums and hopefully I will get a reply. From the look of the tech help forums, a few other...

    I've been playing the server for a few weeks. There are some annoying bugs but nothing game-breaking so far. It's not difficult to set up. It's low pop, but I don't mind. All I wanted was an classic-ey EQ playground and this server seems to fill that niche. Thanks for the help btw Javvo...

    Have they released details about the server yet? I skimmed this thread but it seems mostly conjecture so far.

    Shadowrun Online

    Played with a decker and shaman. Never had issues though. I do recall hearing the elemental summoning bug you mention. I never summoned from fetishes, so it didn't affect me. I think maybe your other issues could be computer related.

    Very strange. I had none of those issues. It may be that I purchased a subsequent build that already incorporated fixes. I honestly can't remember how long I waited after release to purchase.

    Shadowrun Online

    It's pretty clear that no one can do SR like Weisman- which makes sense, considering he is the de facto creator of the franchise. Dragonfall's story and atmosphere really couldn't have been any better. They were absolutely top-notch. I've already purchased Hong Kong, and I've never prebought...

    Hey Furst or whoever has pull on this server. Me and my room mate are going to give it a go but we need an exemption. I PMed Boragar as instructed but haven't heard anything. Anything else I can do?
