    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, the Kindle version says that too. The only thing that I didn't particularly like about it is kind of shared with my only complaint about The Way of Kings. He just doesn't pull off witty or snarky or whatever writing very well. I just see similarities in deficiencies between some of...

    I think it is just a combination of things. Wracked my brain trying to get to the bottom of it. The nvidia forums seems plagued by people having problems with drivers around the 320.18 timeframe which is when all my problems started. But who knows, every driver release in the history of man has...

    Desktop Computers

    I wouldn't say "significant" issues with Nvidia and SLI on Win7/8, but I still think their recent drivers have been trash (that is 314.22 and onward). It is either that or one of / both of my 670 FTWs have serious issues. Driver constantly crashes and I'm still battling the problem of the driver...

    myp2p.ec (could be wrong on the domain, on phone) is usually pretty good with streams. Highly suggest no script, place is a pop up nightmare.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    Fair enough on the box space part. I just never remembered having problems until much higher rank and having multiple Gods to evolve, others to skill up, and Pengdra Village runs. As to not refiling stamina until 100+, I think it is not that simple (and what I posted was overly simple). The...

    Puzzles and Dragons

    If you are going to drop money on stones then you should absolutely prioritize your ranking up. Run Tower of Giants (I think?) until you are 90'ish and can't chain run it without running out of STA anymore. After that if you buy stones they are best used to refresh your STA and the higher your...

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    When my wife and I first lived together (after dating for 5 years) she moved in to my existing apartment. She had just finished her PhD and post doc and had tons of debt from moving for internship, aforementioned post doc, actual program, etc... For two years I paid for everything letting her...

    I love SEC stories like that (and umm... surely they happen elsewhere?). Every year after the Auburn vs. Alabama game it was fun reading the papers the next day to see who stabbed who, who vandalized whose car, and everything else.

    Joe, Staples has $75 off any Samsung tablet (in store only). Was thinking about running by and seeing what they are actually selling in store these days. Tax kinda sucks, but could possibly be a cheap 7"?

    SteamOS

    I've just never used multiple OSes so had never looked in to it on Steam. That's awesome to know though and makes me feel more confident about how SteamOS will work. My Steam knowledge pretty much goes as far as buying a ton of games during their absurd sales and never getting around to...

    SteamOS

    It will be interesting to see how thenativeSteamOS titles are handled. If they announce a native version of any of your existing library do you get it for free? Or are they going to have big bundles at attractive prices for people that want a new copy that runs on their SteamOS box instead of...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Just got married last weekend and people are funny. At first they're all, "Oh my god congratulations! It is so great you're going to be so happy! How long have you been together?" And then we're like, "oh 8 years." Their face changes from joy and excitement to boredom real quick. "Oh 8 years...

    It gives 'exposure' to small programs, money to the school (http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/0...-come-to-ohio/), nothing is ever a guarantee I guess.

    After going to every game during the 2002 - 2010'ish period it is depressing that it'll be a while before the games are that good again. Those years the Auburn vs. LSU game was so much more exciting than Auburn vs. Alabama. Not particularly looking forward to Saturday (plus will be coming back...

    Oh, the h100 and other versions, 70 maybe?, Have that really shitty corsair link program that lets you do monitoring and other worthless things. There is a tool to flash it and my pump went from very very noisy to completely silent.

    Make sure you are running the latest firmware, and like really check to make sure. My h100i was loud as a bitch until I found some corsair messageboard with a link to a firmware download that the official site had pulled. Quiet as a mouse now.

    I'm really liking the game but all this shit is beyond excusable in 2013 following 14 years (?) of MMO releases. As has been pointed out there is exactly zero new here. Sure there are legitimatereasonswhy the errors are occurring, but no legitimate excuse as to why they should occur.

    Yeah... hmm, I don't technically have anamebecause I'm not connected to the server yet. It keeps bouncing me because of the certificate thing. Maybe whoever runs it needs to delete me so I can re-cert? Seems kind of strange but also a nice precaution I suppose.
