    It's all good. My mind has been cleansed by checking out Gravy's avatar pic. ^^

    HDTVs

    This is sound advice. By the time it becomes more mainstream and you actually have some media available for it, the technology will have leaped monumentally over what is available on the market right now. Not to mention, significantly cheaper! I burn benjamins myself on stupid shit all the...

    Completely unrelated. Where did you grab that picture? That is a picture of Doha, Qatar (where I am currently working). I have taken very similar pics myself at the same location!

    Windows 8

    I think for me the question is, why the fuckshould Iupgrade from 7 to 8.1? (even with Classic Start) What am I really getting out of 8.1 that is so groundbreaking besides a nice new search function that I might use once every few months? Honest question.

    NAS for torrents

    I've got a 2010 model 5 Bay Synology NAS. It is absolutely badass. Not a cheap solution, but they are amazing. I am about 80% full on a 5x2TB RAID5 array. Waiting on the 4TB drives to drop in price a bit more so I can start swapping out. I love me some 1080p DTS-HD movies!

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I really wish they would implement EQ2 style mentoring system into EQ1. Its quick and simple, drops your level and simply scales all your worn items and normal level spells / abilities down. No need to juggle new spell bar setups or all that other bullshit. I just dont think EQ1 gets that kind...

    Buying a car?

    No shit. There are about a billion other cars I would buy at the $95k pricepoint! Last on the list would be that piece of shit. GTR, 911, M5, etc.. the list goes on.

    Storing large DVD collection

    Hah! That's a good point. What made it even more annoying was when you actually did decide to rewatch and old film and here you are forced to watch trailers for some shit movie you have already seen. Cant say I recall seeing that forced on the few BluRay titles I own.

    Storing large DVD collection

    Yep, wireless is crap for streaming HD. Add in some DTS or DTS-HD and forget it. Cat6 through my whole house and never looked back!

    Nice clean jacket. I like it.

    Storing large DVD collection

    I actually spent a few hours beginning to rip them onto my NAS for streaming, but simply gave up. Takes far too long and I can just torrent what I want in minutes. I actually trashed hundreds of DVDs. Not worth all of the space / hassle. I purchase only a few BluRay titles a year for...

    Test server gives all Veteran Rewards (on top of free Gold Status, etc).

    EQ Never

    Just like EQ2's griffon transport at release then. Had physically travel to these towers and do mini quests at each to be able to use the griffons, which would fly you (not instantly either) to the other towers in the zone that you had previously unlocked.

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    AA has some insane modifier that scales down until around ~4000AA. You can easily get 1AA per kill on Test server (additional 100% xp bonus) at the lower AA levels.

    EQ Never

    I would argue we lost a lot of that focus by all the forum hopping drama. Hell, I had been a moderate poster on FoH since the beginning but missed all of the forum closure drama. One day I went to have a look and got the "That's it I'm out" blank webpage. For a few months, my Google searches...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I have a 95 SK with about 8k AA, but my Warrior is 65 doing the progression thing in Return to Glory. My SK has full T4 VoA and the droppable upgrades I have seen are marginal at best (with exception of the Ancient Cloak of Flames, etc). I also have a 95 Necro in VoA raid gear with about 7k AA...

    EQMac Shutting down

    I had only started on the server in August and apped to Temerity in September. I've no clue about the previous drama, but what I saw in that time wasnt just raid training, there were assholes training normal XP zones and XP groups regardless of guild tags. Torrid had posted YouTube videos in the...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Just curious if anyone has an Ancient Cloak of Flames (unattuned) that they would be willing to copy over to Test server?

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I've been screwing around on Test the last few days. My old 65 warrior I quit in PoP is playing with the progression guild (Return to Glory) and I also copied my 95 / 8k AA SK over. I was pretty floored to find that my SK could solo PoTime. Legit solo, no merc, no box healer. I'm sure people...

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    It's been posted 1000x, but AK server has very old code and missing nearly all PoP encounter patches / fixes. As in PoTime is version 1.0 with an unkillable Quarm, broken loot tables (no BPs drop, only 2 items per god, many items missing stats), no 85% rule for entry (everyone needs a key), etc...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Beautiful car. It's got the same engine as my X6 and the exhaust sounds amazing!! Is that Carbon Black? (M exclusive color) I still want to hear what the $4500 Bang & Olufsen stereo sounds like!

    Those windows (assuming its char creation) look exactly like EQ2. There's a PS2 poster in the background though, so its current. Pic looks like Ol'Ponytail.

    Even if you overlook the slim chance they would be orbiting near one another, their altitudes are separated by >100mi.

    Gravity (2013)

    The 90 minutes between impacts would suggest that the destroyed satellites were geosynchronous. (They rotate at the same rate as the earth so their relative positions are fixed) The shuttle in reality orbits in about 92mins, per this super nerd math:

    I see Google (GOOG) broke $1k last week. Fucking hell.. I remember when it IPO'd around $75 and immediately shot to >$100 per.

    EQMac Shutting down

    The only part of your reply that has any accuracy is that petitions are most likely what drove this server to collapse. Aside from the training, there was enough petitioning going on anyway. Since the last patch, zones like Overthere and Thurgadin would randomly crash and lock characters inside...

    Again, the problem is those population numbers bomb once you move past PoP. Lock a server down to Classic - PoP and leave it that way.

    Going back to the Pizza debate... Now I am by no means defending Pizza Hut and certainly agree their quality has gone down over the many years. The one thing I think most people overlook about their normal pan pizza was the fact that Pizza Hut was built upon a sit and dine experience. Their...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    I think this should be absolutely shocking, but somehow its not surprising at all. It's no wonder SoE has no fucking clue when it comes to their own damn game.

    EQMac Shutting down

    I do not doubt SoE's ignorance either. They would make absolute bank if they simply released a server and hard locked it to PoP or GoD / OoW. Call it classic server or whatever and laugh all the way to the bank. You'd think they would have caught on by now with the popularity of the Emu servers...

    EQMac Shutting down

    There is still a lot of code to be fixed on Mac. It was fucked from EPs forward. Most Earth rings do not work, PoTime loots are broken (missing stats, no EP BPs, gods drop 2 items vs 3, Quarm is still version 1.0 (unkillable), broken geometry, etc.) As much as I loved Mac and raiding with...

    I have had this in the past and all the modules checked out just fine under Memtest86+. I ended up finding out I had to tweak some RAM voltages in BIOS to get it working again.
