    Yeah but its still doable and still better than starting from scratch. They still managed to change EQ just fine over the years. and Im sure they had dozens of different programmers work on that code over the years. Its part of their job. How many programmers get to work on something fresh and...

    EQ now is just not the same as it was back then. EQ now basically starts at like Lv70+ all the other content before that is easy mode. This server captures that old feeling, just like EQ99 or EQSleeper.

    So its like any other EQ emu? Supposedly there is a few goons doing the dev. Not sure though. Anyway, been having a good time with it so far. I remember trying this like years ago, but some other game probably came up.

    Aside the fucked up UI, the game at its core is not that bad. Its just shallow and severely lacking in content. Aside the asinine achivements, anyone can finish this game in like a month, less if you are hardcore. The PvP is all fucked up. Its basically stealth and double barreled shotty in...

    So anyone try this? I have been playing a few days and it seems pretty solid so far. Its basically an EQ classic type server but with custom content. I think this was one of the first emulated servers if im not mistaken. Anyway, all the zones and crap are all called different and thy have...

    Yeah, new Haswells are due June for the desktops so might as well wait. They are supposedly 10%-15% faster per core than the current K proc. i5 is the way to go for gaming since i7 does not contribute much for the money for the gamer.

    On a more serious note, Im going with Lost Ranger, shes old now but she used to induce major boners back in the 80s. She made me drop my Gi-Joe and He-man figures and look up at the TV. Susana Hoffs from the Bengals. Bonus points for actually playing an instrument.

    Honestly who gives a shit anymore. The guy tried to make a game and failed. Lost some money. News at 11. RI is to blame for investing in a crap shoot like that anyway, with tax money. So fuck them.

    Thats usually a solenoid valve. It basically lets your main box control which sprinkler zone is turned on or off. Something like this, but obviously there is tons of different makes and models. So it might not look like that. Also, it realy depends where they put these things. For...

    Why is that valve buried? It should not be from the irrigation systems that I have seen. This is called the backflow preventer, right? It looks something like this?

    Yeah, thats it. They sell those in a 2 or 3 pack, I forget. Real cheap but I would not go without one IMO. Just look at all that shit on the one you have.

    Definitely, and well deserved award, but you cannot discount DiCaprio in this movie as well. I though he did an awesome job as well. Also I found nothing in this movie remotely controversial. On the flip side I think that movies like this are important in a way to help preserve our shitty...

    Defiance (Syfy April 2013) TV Series and MMO

    Its ending up to be some type of soap opera type shit more than anything. This show would be 1000x better if they just showed the 2 main protagonists on the journey to Antartica and getting into all kinds of shit along the way.

    What I would do is get a 4-5 ft long section of 3-4 in white pvc tubing to run the snake through on the way to the clean out, and just have someone else hold it. Like you said. This should contain the snake so it does not break or break something else or slap you silly. It seems like the most...

    Lets be real here, though. Sony has pretty much dominated the entire gaming market since the PS1, it wasnt even close its still not even close. It was only the 360 which they lost the ground on in the US. But still won the world sales figures. So its not like Microsoft has been winning some war...

    That might be true for the Chinese juice, and I would personally not trust it. But most of the US stuff is handcrafted and awesome flavors if you go to the right places. Also I have been watching some videos on how to mix your own juice. Its not difficult and this is where it suppossedly gets...

    Look, I have been trying to quit smoking for the past 10 yrs. Fuck who am I kidding, for the last 15 yrs. And each time with a relapse into full blown smoking. I have been doing this since I was 15, thats 25 yrs of smoking, give or take the years I have quit. You see, not all people can just up...

    Funny thing is that there is more studies on vaping e cigs than there is real cigs. There is still some 2000 compounds in tobacco smoke which have not been recognized.

    Anyway, so I was looking all around for a good price on an Ego C twist and most of the starter kits were like $80. So looking further I found some Chinese place that had then for 1/2 the price. Yeah, I will have to wait a few weeks to get my shit, but here is what I got.... Not bad for...

    I think the always connected thing will end up biting them in the ass as well. I have a few buds at work that are vapid 360 fans but they swear that they will not bother with the new one and their "always connected" requirement. Also fuck x box live and the cost associated with that too. I have...

    And no SSD which IMO is pretty much a requirement these days for performance. I guess you could always add one. And I would ask them if you get the win disk with it. Also ask them if you can go without the 650ti which is crap. Or at least upgrade to 660ti.

    Buying a car?

    Rotors can cost anywhere from $30-$200 ea. So yeah you are right. But why the fuck are you gonna spend $200 for a rotor? The average price is about $50 for a good rotor, so thats $200 for all 4. Non metallic pads run $35 for a set of fronts and rears so thats another $70. And im sure the shop...

    Meh, im not sure the education system is slipping as you are saying. I have 2 kids in public schools and from what I see they are pushing them harder than when I was a kid. The both are doing math and reading at a level way higher than I at their age and they get tons of homework to do, way more...

    Umm, WTF? Is this like a Lamborghini? Also you should learn to do this shit yourself. Changing break pads and replacing rotors is like $150 for the entire car and it takes about a hour. Im no car mechanic and I dont really want to fuck with that shit either, but hearing stories like yours...

    Yeah, I remember reading about that story-bricks thing when it was posted at FOH a while back. Definitely seemed interesting. Will look forward to see how they integrate this into the game. Definitely sparks some new hope in this game because of that.
