    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I just started up a chanter here on P99. Is there a guild I can join with some forum pals? Just want some chit chat and entertainment. Doubt I will be looking to raid anytime soon. Oh yea, I am also looking to sell a Gauntelts of Fiery Might for ~25k or taking interesting Enchanter gear...

    Desktop Computers

    ^ This ^ There are some programs like Intel's migration software that can configure the drive correctly, but it is NOT the norm. When your SSD is being set-up the first time during the partitioning and OS install, there are quite a few things that are different. (write alignment, indexing...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I actually uninstalled after playing for a day when I really started to think about putting up with SoL xpac and AA grinding all over again. Fired up an Enchanter on P99 instead. It's a shame there couldn't be some world where we had Vanilla, Kunark, Velious, no SoL, and still have PoP for...

    Desktop Computers

    You are really missing out on not having an SSD as your boot "C:" drive. Can I ask why you have 500G stuffed on your C drive now? Sure, the 1TB version is nice but god damn is it expensive. There's no reason to have so much stuff jammed up on your boot disk. I use a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro and...

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    If you want to keep to "budget" amps, I think Emotiva offers some decently priced amps. There is quite the lengthly thread over at AVS forums about them. Something like the XPA-5 should work for you. Amplifiers | Emotiva

    Windows 8

    Didn't know that. Sounds pretty damn annoying to be honest. Plus, if you still have the old versions installed it is a gaping security flaw in that malware could be used to target those older versions still lurking around your machines. *facepalm*

    WDTV/ Roku Streamers

    It actually looks like Kodi moved to full release version. I never used XBMC before, so I can't comment on the differences but I love this client.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    LoTR, by most accounts, was done as well as possible for a book to film adaptation; especially considering the EE versions. How can you get that much sand in the vagina over the LoTR? Arwen wasn't necessary, but it wasn't terrible either. The guy IS a whiny cunt.

    I actually bit the bullet and ditched my Boxee this month and went for a HTPC build. The new Intel NUC boxes are amazingly powerful for their price. I bought this box: Amazon.com: Intel NUC BOXD54250WYKH1 Intel 4th Gen Intel Core i5-4250U with Intel HD Graphics 5000: Computers...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Figured out a workaround. I created a second EQ directory and launched the other toon from that account. Going with an Ench / Clr for now. Might add a Dru for a trio for snare, regen, ports, etc

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    I actually had no idea Connelly's health was the reason for the CGI. I like the guy's previous work and find his humor great. But I also think you need to think of the good of the movie. If the guy is in that bad of shape, its time to move on and find another actor. If they were that insistent...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Ok, clearly I am doing something wrong here. How do you box? I have created two different logins and two separate chars. I can't seem to log more than 1 char in at a time without the other being booted or linkdead out. I am launching each with the EQW link on a PC. Am I missing something?

    I, Origins: Jimmy Darmody whacks Intelligent Design

    Fuck it, I actually enjoyed this movie and I do not consider myself a spiritual person at all. It had a nice story and good acting, which is more than I can say for most films these days!

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    That 1080p version is probably some upscaled bullshit. It's only 2.5 gig in size. The lowest 1080p rips are usually right at around 8 gig. Lots of legit 720p rips out there though.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    In real PoP, we still had problems on raids with mobs having a limited number of debuff slots. Our necros had issues getting dots on raid mobs in PoTime at times. Not sure if this will be addressed on this server. Knight tanks were good, but you still need warriors tanking the raid bosses of...

    Survivor

    Yea, there have been a lot worse seasons. There was a couple great blindsides and a few lulzworthy dramas. Plus one epic tribal speech that will probably go down in history as one of the best. Lots and lots of nonexistent gameplay though. It was staggering how many people just floated on...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Dramaqueen sister. I'm on a 12 hour work shift with no Facebook access other than my phone and haven't had time to click "like" on dozens of posts. In a woman's mind, that apparently means I hate my only sister. WTF??

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    CGI Dain was extremely jarring to me. Looked completely unrealistic in the scene. If it were any other movie, I wouldn't have cared so much.. but this is coming from the same damn film that made Gollum and Smaug. WTF? Someone said it best a few pages ago. It looked like a video game cutscene...

    Computer Chairs

    But did it come with wooden bumpers? I still use the HM Aeron at work sitting 8+ hours of my 12 hour shift. These chairs are pushing 6 years old now and look just as new as they day they arrived. Still the most comfortable chair I have used. There's plenty of cheap cushioned chairs that feel...

    For the upcoming season "Worlds Apart", I found this interesting Probst quote: ?Person for person and pound for pound, I will say that this is the best group of people I think we?ve ever had,? says Probst. ?That doesn?t mean there aren?t duds in the cast, but if you just had to take one...

    Survivor

    I think Jac should have sent Nat packing. That was the power move and might have shown she had some the balls to make ruthless decisions to better her own game. I do not buy too much into Probst's after-the-fact quick vote in the reunion to see how people would have voted. Keith was a bumbling...

    So you want a premium steak without bone, like a Filet Mignon? Well, your T-Bone has that cut in it already. It's the smaller piece of meat on one side of the T-bone. The larger piece of meat on the other side is a strip steak. Filet + (NY) Strip + bone = T-Bone. Remove the bone and you are...

    I paid $600 for a pair of Bulgari frames and lenses. The frames are titanium whatever and the lenses were the top of the line scratchproof whatevers. I bought them literally 10 years ago from this month. Still use them to this day.

    Eh, I was up to around 8% on my Fidelity 401k this year until the last week with the market falling out. I am sitting at 3.7% year-to-date as of today.
