    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    You mostly freshwater, or do you do salty as well? I used to be all in to this shit when younger, but ever since I have a family there is just not enough time. But I would love to set up a reef again. Especially now with the new LED lighting they have for the corals.

    even when the new consoles hit, the PC will still be ahead of the curve, if not then, definitely within 6 mos.

    New Rule: Should we cull all EQ-Neckbeard discussion from game threads?

    Theres is nothing to discuss anyway. The new games like TESO are all under tight wrapped NDA with nothing new to talk about, so yeah, lets talk EQ, bitches.

    New Rule: Should we cull all EQ-Neckbeard discussion from game threads?

    It sounds like over moderating. Let people say what they wanna say. Who gives a shit? You dont have to read the shit. Its a slippery slope you are treading on.... It has been this way forever, why fucking change shit? If it angers you that much, dont fucking read it.

    I kinda like the music. It gets repetative, like all games, but I like that electronic dubstep sounding shit. As for the UI, yeah its awful, but the core of this game is just so fun.

    401K loans? good option?

    ^^ Yeah, thats the way Im looking at it now. Corndog made that clear with his post and made me think, what happens when I have atrueemergency and need the cash?

    Yeah the desktop I just replaced was a Q6600 dell which is like a few generations older than your Q9550. And that thing was 2006-7. But it was starting to show its age and becoming a bottleneck for the GPU. But still, I played many games on that thing, including SWTOR, which was by no means a...

    And that 2500K will go for another 3 yrs in reality, considering that the current 3570 is about 10-15% or so better than the 2500K.

    Its not, we have the same problem with my older son. He wont eat anything other than a few things he likes and hes 11.

    You dont necessarily need to wait. If you have the cash and are ready, you can buy right now and you will still have a solid system which will last for 4-5 yrs. The current i5s are fucking beasts already.

    I never used that method for my cheesecakes. Yeah they crack, but who gives a shit, they still taste fucking delicious. I used the good ole Bety Crocker recipe for my cheesecakes and everyone in my family thought I was some master baker. They always, to this day, request my cheesecakes at family...

    Dont get me wrong, bro, we still bought the baby food jars, cause they were convenient. Especially when going places with the kid. Its not like you can pack up frozen cubes of baby food, lol. But take for example bananas? Why the fuck would you buy jars of bananas if you can just buy a banana...

    Beet soup? Borsch? Basic beef stock, using roasted short ribs or beef hocks, necks.. miropoix etc... Let that shit smmer for a god 2-3 hours. Then the last 30 min add cut up fresh beets, peeled of course. Then add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar and fresh cracked pepper to finish it off...

    LOL, you boil some veggies, (in some broth if you like your kid to have some flavor) and blend them. You can even freeze them in ice cube trays for later use. Carrots, carrots and peas, sweet potato, etc. Basically what you can buy in baby food you can make yourself.

    If you want the latest and greatest, yeah wait until June. And I would say $800 is on the low side. Count on $1000, but the good news is that you have a couple of more months to save, right? And that system, save maybe a video card change, will last you at least 4 yrs. Come back here when you...

    Well, the core of your system wont go anywhere. Haswell (new intell architecture) is ready to hit this June with about 10%-15% better performance than Ivy Bridge (current architecture) and quite honestly, those processors will last you years. In fact Intell is working on their integrated video...

    You are showing a non K processor, which Im assuming you will not be overclocking. But you have a Z77 motherboard which is an overclocker board. Go with a H77 board if you are not going to overclock, might save you a few bucks. Also that CM power supply I would be wary about. Go anything...

    401K loans? good option?

    This is incorrect, as the only thing that is double taxed is the interest you are required to pay, which is minimal. If you borrow $10,000 from your retirement plan, you receive $10,000 to use as you want-you don't have to pay taxes on it. Putting that money back into your plan account doesn't...

    Everything comes with everything you need. Motherboard comes with SATA cbles, usually 2, so if you have any more SATA devices you will need to buy more. So for example, if you have a SSD, a regular HD and an optical drive, you will need to buy an extra SATA cable. that is if you buy OEM parts...

    Same thing can be said about the 15 button rotations of WoW. If you really think about it, what options did you have there? You hit the same keys, in the same sequence, like every other good player did, because if you didnt you were not top DPS on the DPS meter and you were then shunned and...

    Buying a car?

    There is basically no quality distinctions between the Foreign auto makers and the big three like there was in the 90s and early 2000s. The big three definitely got their shit together since then and are producing top notch shit. But I would still not buy a Chrysler. :P

    Looks good, although with video editing he might be better off with the i7. But if its just light stuff i5 would be allright. The PSU is way overkill, look a page or two back, I linked a few that are better and wont burn down your house. I would definitely add a GPU, like a 7850 or a 660. For...

    Either way you might be right, I just do not think alienating people is the right answer here. Think about it this way, you give too many people the thumbs down, because you are THAT good, and they all suck, might effect your queue times as well.

    I dont really think its even thousands. Even in a game like WoW. In MOP on a relatively populated server battlegroup (Arthas) I saw the same people over and over running LFD, so I dont think its as many people as you think it is.

    I think the vote kick system WoW has basically accomplishes this without alienating anyone. Cross server or not, eventually the thumbs down people would have less and less people to group with.

    The problem with systems like that is people tend to vote negative because someone fucked up their good time. But rarely would they give someone a thumbs up unless forced to somehow. Its human nature. Also what happens to the bad people then? Those with 50+ thumbs down? Do they only get to...
