    Tripod and check for an image stabilization setting are the best options here. A big factor is also going to be what kind of light you are in. If it's night games, the camera is going to bump the ISO and/or increase the exposure time. Longer exposure time and any movement means blurry...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    From what I recall, Luclin included a worldwide texture bump. Some point I remember the option for installation. But christ, that was 12+ years ago now? Hell if I remember exactly.

    Planetside 2

    That's the beauty of PS2. So much situational class, vehicle, air, weapon choices. Some are useless in some instances and completely devestating in others. Really loving being back in this game the last couple weeks!!

    EQ Never

    The short-lived Manaburn squads were a perfect example. (Group of a few wizards with Manaburn all time the nuke at once and instagib raid mobs. Didn't last long before the nerf bat) The ice comet example with multiple wizards is good too though.

    Speakers in the back are for aesthetics (thin bezel) and the simple fact a lot of customers have their own HT Speaker setup. I know I wouldnt touch a TV with speakers hanging off the sides / bottom.

    Hah! That's pretty awesome cranking out all of those PRs! That's as good of a selling point as any for demoing a bike. Crazy $ on it though.

    Planetside 2

    One annoyance of this game is it's lustre fades during the quiet hours of the night. I work random shifts at work and sometimes I come home and want to hop on at 4am on a week night. The game just dies in these hours. At least in any other MMO, there issomethingto work on to progress your...

    You could have just simply copied EQ2's NBG system. It had always worked just fine.

    So, I've noticed on the Trek Fuel lineup and the Specialized Stump Jumper lineup that it seems all the 26" wheels have gone the way of the dodo. I guess it's 27.5" and 29" from here on out?

    Yea, I have to agree with Lejina, if you are doing hardcore MTB / downhill it may be worth it. But I haven't done anything at all to my 2011 EX8 other than tires / tubes.

    As a LA, I jet pack air-dropped C4 on a BR100 max this morning. He didn't even know I was there as he was focusing on the line of tanks coming up down the canyon. It was glorious!

    Everquest II

    Is the loot system still the lazy cookie cutter bullshit design that was introduced in Velious? That was the nail in the coffin for me, but there were still glaring issues like the hotbar / ability bloat. Another major gripe for me was that the high end raiding simply became a twich game. "Cure...

    I've got the same issue with primary though too. (AP vs HE) I spawn a tank with HE to blow up some spawn doors and farm noobs, but then up comes a Vanguard to fight and I am fucked. The other night, while drunk, I fucked up and maxed all my "high speed racer chassis" certs on my Lightning...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I'd love to see a pic of one of these "small" pizzas with something in the picture for a sense of scale. I don't think I have ever seen a pizza in my entire life where 2 slices could even remotely fill me up. *Edit* Found these 2 pics online from customer photos. What is appealing about...

    Your post said 47"? I am guessing that is just a TV? 1080p has to look pixelated as fuck that close on such a big screen!

    I checked my online credit card statement. Total was $13.13 for the burger, fries, and drink. The burger was pretty substantial in size. Absolutely worth it for me.

    Ok, so after 2 years I made my first trip home to the US recently. I just have to add that the Taco Bell chicken quesarito is pretty damn tasty! Easily in my top 3 of menu items they have ever carried! On the trip I visited my Uncle down in Tampa FL. We got hungry and stopped by a place...

    I think the key point is he is only gaming at 1080p. THAT is why the 780 Ti is just ridiculous. NOTHING he is playing is going to tax that card. Why throw that money away? Joeboo's advice is solid. Save a few hundred bucks and get the R9 (while still maxing settings at 1080p) and have money down...

    That just seems like a ton of money for not much bike. Basic frame, no suspension, some big tires and it's magically $2k? I just don't get it.

    I've been to Paris half a dozen times and all over the countryside / riviera. I can honestly think of only 1 time ever that I had the "stereotypical" French attitude from a waiter. Everyone else has been pretty damn friendly overall. Like Lambourne said, just dont go walking up blabbering in...

    Well, I earn good 6 figures but I have the advantage of working overseas. So I get just over 100k tax exemption ($97k foreign exclusion + housing deduction).

    Desktop Computers

    Gotta concur. While that system is fantastic for $1500 as a whole, as a 1080p gaming system the 780 Ti is just stupidly overpowered. Spend half and get the R9, have money for a GPU upgrade a couple years down the road (that would be better than the 780 Ti).

    Not to mention, if you are someone of a green thinker, bamboo is the fastest growing / replaceable "wood" there is. I quote wood, as bamboo is technically a grass. It grows insanely quickly, as in a few feet per day!

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I think the big issue (we are talking about the current Tour de France) is that morons are stepping out into the road into the path of the racers to take these selfies. Fuck those idiots. It's interfering with the event.

    I have a lot more faith in 4K than any of the other recent gimmicks. I completely agree with you about cable companies, but I think more and more households are moving to internet streaming technology. And while the US monopolies are choking out infrastructure progress, this isnt exactly true...
