    The Fast Food Thread

    It's a PR stunt. There are only 1000 available via their website from 3PM EST. Direct link for when it goes live: Never Ending Pasta Pass | Olive Garden Italian Restaurants Come on McCheese, don't let us down! I want to see what a 7 week pasta, bread, and soda binge can do to a man!!

    I am actually agreement with you. What I was trying to say was that their new intended Tier system seems more or less the same. Yes, you are not grinding levels, but you are grinding whatever gear advancement requirements there are to get to the T5 content. Again, agreeing with you that the...

    I love the bug where you jump out of a vehicle that has flipped before it blows up and you occasionally "fall" upward to the game ceiling and die. That's always fun. *Edit* What's FNO? I only recently came back to game.

    The Last of Us

    I bought this and Tomb Raider for PS3 at release, but RL got in the way and I only finished half of Tomb Raider and never even fired this up. After seeing all the critical acclaim for the game, I put it on my "must complete" lists. Then they announced the PS4 version and I decided to wait again...

    I really don't get the whole removal of "levels" / addition of "tiers" debate. Isn't it just the same exact measurement of time? SoE already did this whole tier thing with EQ2. Even in the original game (all the bs mechanics aside), 1-10 = T1, 1-20 = T2, 21-30 = T3, 31-40 = T4, and 41-50 = T5...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    Yea, OG VT sucked balls. Trash mobs chain blinding and stunning casters. That was eventually nerfed out, but the bajillion trash mobs remained. It was just long and tedious trash clearing to the next tank and spank mob. Our guild killed AHR (the top baddie of the xpac) on our first VT outing...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I am sure his point is the fact that you can just copy over whatever you like from other servers. People bring raid gear over from FV server, where there are hardly any no drop items at all. Infinite inflow of plat / items means value is next to nothing.

    I think DDR4 will be usefull in some scenarios. It will certaily offer power savings in the portable market. *edit* For clarification, I am talking about DDR4 being underwhelming from agamingperspective. All about DDR4, the next-gen memory coming soon for PCs and mobile devices | PCWorld

    I think this was expected. Not many games will ever utilize that many cores effectively (not anytime soon, anyway). The raw clock speed is having a greater effect, so the good old quad processor 4790k at a base clock of 4GHz is performing better than these new E chips (hex at 3.3 / 3.5GHz and...

    I found this article interesting. I wonder why nVidia has decided to skip the 800 series naming scheme right before launch. Apparently we will be getting 970 / 980 GTX cards in the coming weeks. No NVIDIA GeForce GTX 800 Graphics Cards After All, GTX 900 Coming Instead

    If you had to look it up, you possibly missed his point. Maggie Gyllenhall is an enigma. Some movies she looks quite attractive and other times completely fugly. Can't explain it.

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    My bigger beef is with titles. In EQ1, it was extremely rare to have a GM title and it had significance. Nowadays, it seems right from the start you can pick through half a dozen titles and it just bloats from there. Zero fucks are given.

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    My guild (Darkwind) were part of the 1% crowd at GoD time. We were 3rd worldwide into PoTime and had some worldwide firsts along the way. GoD was the most broken buggy piece of shit released by SoE to date. I have screen shots of a lvl1 GM Dev in our raid (live server, not beta!) taking tuning...

    No idea if my issue is FPS related though. I have a Quad i7 OC'd to 4.5GHz, 16G Ram, and two 670 in SLI displayed on only 1080p. It really shouldn't bog down and hasn't felt that way.

    Without claiming hacks or anything, I have to agree with this time of gameplay against some foes. I can be fairly close range and use a "regular" amount of rounds to drop an enemy. Two seconds later some random infantry from 100 yards out drops me in a second flat with full shield / health...

    It's been said before, but I just wish SoE would drop the name Everquest with this project altogether. It's shaping up to be pretty shitty looking overall and looks / feels NOTHING like EQ / EQ2.

    These were recent changes that some loans keep PMI for the life of the loan. (Fuck that shit greedy lenders) Typically though, PMI is if you do not have at least 20% down on the house and would go away once you are >20% in equity on the loan.

    This is my biggest beef with the Sheldon win. Others in the category are doing phenomenal acting work. Sheldon seems to mostly be portraying himself. BBT he may just crank up the nerd / awkwardness to 11, but in interviews he seems to be 80% of the way there. The guy has shown 0 acting range. I...

    Not to be the pancake snob, but McD literally takes them from frozen and slaps them in a microwave and dumps them in a cardboard box. That said, they are still pretty damn tasty and I wish I could just buy a bunch of the frozen ones myself.

    That's actually mid-priced for pro telephoto lenses. 200mm isn't all that much zoom in the scheme of things. (f/2 is crazy good) You want more zoom with a lot of light? You are going to pay a hell of a lot more for that! Here is twice the zoom without giving up too much aperature for a mere$11,500.
