    Obviously I dont have the numbers, but I specifically remember that their retention rate was abysmal. And thats what I was specifically taking about. Money wise its pretty clear they are doing well. But I would caution you to say that it was the most successful since wow either. some of those...

    DSLR Camera

    I would get a basic book on picture taking. Or some websites that teach the crap. Learning about shit like aperture and shudder speed and how they relate to one another to produce desired effects in pictures is invaluable. Also learning about basic shit like the rule of 3rds and other crap like...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Well if you think about it, Rift didnt do so well either considering. I have a feeling that all these mmorpgs make money its just how much. Im even betting SWTOR has gotten their initial investment back as well.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    You are right, I was assuming too much. SLA process can use a variety of materials... But reading into it a bit more, the actual 3D printing is an entirely different process. Instead of fusing liquid or plastic powder, they actually deposit material. There is also another process called...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    It does not. I can tell you first hand that the plastic that comes out is crap. Its very brittle and does not have any structural properties of other applicable plastics like poly pro or ABS.

    I would go for the GTX 670 myself and then add sli GTX 670 later since crossfire is garbage. Microstuttering is horrendous on crossfire. http://www.rerolled.org/showthread.p...l=1#post132853 As far as PSU goes here are some good ones...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Among the new additions is a much improved destruction feature where buildings can be completely destroyed (like in Bad Company 2, only at a much greater level and detail), a better lighting system, new animations, a brand new weather system, and more...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    We have been 3d printing shit in automotive for the better part of 20 yrs now. We use it mostly for prototype parts since the materials you print with are not robust, verry brittle.Its a very simple concept really, a laser melts powdered plastic into a solid milimeter by milimeter through the...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Bad company 2 was the pinnacle of BF franchise IMO. Bf3, I think they missed the mark. I still played if for 200+ hours though. someone mentioned that this was a new engine? I dont think so. I think this is still frostbite 2 isnt it?

    Defiance

    Its just all over the place. It takes a while to figure it out. But once when you do its serviceable, at least speaking from the PC side of things. The controls and shit are like any other shooter. WASD, right click to aim, left click to fire, G for grenades, E to interact, R to reload, etc.

    Why? Granted I only played the one beta weekend, so I dont really know wtf is up behind the scenes, but for the most part the zone I played in I found it to be more complete than other mmos I have tried in beta. The only real issue I had was the god awful interface, and some minor balance issues...

    The big thread of game industry fuck ups

    My buddy at work, which is an avid gamer, brought up a good point today. He basically said that I think the industry as a whole will be surprised when the next generation of consoles does not do well at all. Because, see above.

    Paw was good, but not as good as the Hole, obviously. But it was empty and we usually had it all to ourselves. I think 68 is definitely doable. edit: Now that I think back it was exactly about the level you were we went there and owned the entire place. 3 of us with mercs. So you might be...

    Yeah, hard to debate what Ut is saying here, bro. This just screams of a big ass fuck up and they are trying to hide it. There is no reason why they shouldn't of had a playable demo, especially when the game is supposed to hit later this year. The game at this point should be 85% complete with...

    I had a good time, played it on the PC all day yeasterday. Did a couple of co-ops, tons of world events..../shrug this could hold my attention for a few months of fun.

    BK is fucking expensive too. Fuck that. I personally prefer Wendys, at least the one by me. (Ive had some shitty Wendys too.)

    Pretty much aside some other minor PvE things, but they have added some pve shit yesterday, just have not had a chance to play it. But the thumping thing is really fucking fun way of resource gathering, either by yourself or with a group.

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    The best spot for grinding AA at those levels is the temple in the hole. You could set up a 3 box with 3 mercs at the temple entrance and leave them there indefinitely. Come back and spend your saved up 30 points and rinse and repeat. I think we stayed there till 69 or so and ground out about...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    The problem, last time me and a few of my buds played, that yes, 1-70 with 1500AA is a breeze and goes by quick. But 70-95 ( now 100) sucks if you dont have a high level or two p-leveling you. Its the same bullshit as before with EQ, new expansion comes out and the exp is crazy fast, but then...

    There was a developer which was posting on one of the somethingawful "lets play" threads and he gave a good insight into the development of swtor. Basically what he said is they put all of their eggs in one basket, the stories. That was swtor in a nutshell. Everything else was basically an...
