    Everquest II

    Yep, and as mentioned before, so many of the later xpac hard mode encounters were all about Inquisitors curing curse. Now you need one in each group? You automatically can not have every class in attendance. I think the sweet spot would have been 36-42 man raids. It would have caused a hell of a...

    Shame Rod of Insidious Glamour has a lvl30 req on it to cast, otherwise borrowing one would have got the job done.

    Everquest II

    That's the whole other can of worms about EQ2 that I always hated. Hard cap 24 man raids, yet there are 24 classes in game!? It's too few raid slots and either you have poopsock perfect attendance guildies, or you have a shit load of people forced to sit out all of the time. Terrible design, imo.

    I really thought about going that route, but as a dual monitor setup, my OCD would get the best of me having two completely different looking monitors, screens, color pallettes, etc. What to do.. what to do... PS. Not to mention, I have read serious quality control issues about both Asus...

    Still been on the fence wanting a new monitor to replace my two 24" TN panel setup. I really want IPS, as I do photography as a hobby but I also game quite a lot. Still tough finding that sweet spot image quality vs response time. I currently have my eye on a couple of these: Amazon.com...

    Naked and Afraid

    And even more to the guy's credit, he was patient enough to actually let her try things her way and fail so she could see first-hand why it didn't work vs being a know-it-all and forcing her to do it his way, despite it being correct. The guy was definitely socially awkward, but he did have...

    The important shit like Darathar was all instanced. Release raid game sucked. I was in a cutting edge guild getting worldwide discos on it and it was still a lame experience. (guild was Xanadu) All the changes in DoF made playing a Guardian terrible and I quit. Came back around KoS-Kunark as...

    I pretty sure progressing the server past PoP is what kills the population / interest. If they stoppeded at SoV or PoP, I am sure it would be a fairly consistent server for quite the forseeable future. (See P99 Kunark longevity)

    Speed Reading - It's Mostly Bullshit (Or Is It?)

    This. The problem is subvocalization. Whether you realize it or not, we all "say" the words aloud in our head, as if we were reading a bedtime story to our own brain. This is what makes what we view as "normal" reading speed so gosh darn slow: Your eyes can totally buzz across those lines 300...

    I am guessing we might actually hear some legitimate Dev response tomorrow. 3 day holiday weekend is finally over and someone might actually start addressing this clusterfuck of a server.

    There's going to be a part number somewhere on that fan. Google search that fan part number itself. You are right, it should be a very easy swap to do yourself.

    Glad to hear! ASU does have a great program and it's also the school Starbucks is giving free tuition to its employees. (even part timers!) I might have gone the Starbucks route if that was a thing instead of military. I hope more businesses adopt this model.

    E7 by the age of 25 is pretty fucking unheard of. I had fast tracked automatic E4 upon my 2 year school completion and then made E5 at 21 (Navy - Electronics Tech). Advancement rates also depended heavily on the career field. I know Corpsmen in the Navy that were still E4/ E5 in their late 20s /...

    980 Ti should be released in the next month, let alone all the hype built up for Pascal. Again, I do not care about the system price. I just want to have a nice desktop for my gaming and photography needs. Best of both worlds and no compromise.

    Unless you are planning on career military, I would take those "degrees" with a grain of salt. On the outside world, those degrees from "University of Maryland University College" (lols) are one of the pretty shady for profit schools. I use this one as an example because pretty much every AF...

    I grew up in Florida, but all of my family is from Michigan. On summer vacations, there would be cases of Rock N Rye stashed in the back of the car for the return home! Good stuff! I don't drink much soda these days, but nothing beats an ice cold A&W.

    Take the job or not?

    First off, an American lawyer does fuck all for you. Work contracts are laid out in pretty simple to understand terms. If they breach those terms, you have zero recourse with a US lawyer or courts. You are at the whim of the UAE laws and system. That said, I think the risk of that is fairly low...

    I have lived in Qatar for the last 9 years, been to Dubai a dozen times and have friends and colleagues that work there. First off, that salary seems on the low side despite the fact you have housing included. Most people I know are fairly close to 6 figures. When I came over, I literally...
