    People wonder why the flavor of the week is played by 90% of people in a league. Play it now before it gets nerfed and move to the next flavor of the week.

    World of Tanks

    I quit playing about 4 years ago. I was not super high WN8 or whatever they call it now. I did have 2 barrel bands on my E75 which was my most used tank. The problem I had is if you play EQ, WoW or whatever you try to group/guild with people of a similar style/ability. If you run public matches...

    We're starting to get black bears here in southwest MS. Live right on a river. Guy down the road got two on his camera few months ago. Then someone ran into one with their truck. Pretty sure they come out of Louisiana where they have the black bear population in the spillway and they've been...

    I never really worried about it. I was going back to do some backpacking in the more remote areas of yellowstone that you have to be get a special permit for because of the bear numbers, soon if I hadn't got sick. But yeah if you see the people who are checking in to get their permit and showing...

    I hiked the Teton Crest Trail in 2009 and it goes thru grizzly country on the northern end of the park adjacent to Yellowstone. They have you sign in and show your bear proof container to hang your food. Last I read a large number of people attacked by grizzlies don't follow basic precauctions...

    First thing I wondered when I started WoW way back then was "who are the pullers" people were like "wut?" Zerg was the way people grouped.

    Best thing about seasons is the patch is 27mb insread of the 1+ gb patches for leagues in PoE lol. Reading the patch notes now. Need to look up the chance on hit to spawn a circle that when stood in gives you a buff. I'[m sure this is not new(s) to anyone else who playes all the time. The...

    It is what you remember. Woodstock was too long ago for me. But when someone says Joe Cocker I instlaly remember this.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I thought about playing. I looked up a few things. According to my account info last login was 2005. Too much to brush up on so I'll pass. Oddly enough I remember more about EQ than I do about WoW. I guess it just didn't make an impression on me.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I was awful at pvp in WoW and always played on a PVP server. Honestly not much pvp ever went on. Maybe 1/2 a dozen times we got ambushed going to black wing lair or something. I'm the biggest care bear in the world but I kind of liked it. Of course I was a rogue but once you got into pvp that...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    Not to mention if you hire someone at $100k it cost the company a lot more than $100k in cost. It's probably much cheaper than in some industries but I always figured 2x salary in end cost.

    The Official Guitar Thread

    I got a set of nut files from the maintenance guy that used to work for me. He builds guitars on the side. Also I inherited an acoustic guitar. Plays OK but I need to lower the action. I miss the ease of doing so with a hardtail telecaster. And missed it quickly lol.

    So I guess make a starter build and maybe switch over once the dust has settled on what skills off the tree you can put on an amulet. Hate to start a build and invest heavily into it only to find nothing really fits into it or your backup build has the best one.

    People liked cyclone not just because it was OP. It was easy to start a map and cyclone thru it then out and do whatever you want, another map, dick with the stash or whatever.

    That tower defense on a radial menu looks like nope I'll play wow classic even tho I can't even remember wow back then. No interest at all. The last time they tried to merge PoE with another game we ended up with Synthesis. Bring on 4.0 I left 10ex in the guild stash if someone needs for the...

    I'm not going to play. But is the classic just like it was when released way back when. Or just quest, settings and such and the rest of the game updatd? I haven't played in over a decade and then some. Just curious.

    Don't forget the ones in synthesis you had to craft an item in 10 seconds or what it is was before the timer ran out. Whole league had bad spots in it all over.

    They are really pushing getting players back to the game apparently. I got several emails about it over the last week. Free premium tanks and some other stuff and some events. Haven't played in 4-5 years.

    They could really pump up the interaction chance with legion and drop off or reduce the change to run into synthesis in my opinion. I liked the way they did incursion. Want to do it it's there, don't want to just keep moving.

    Beginner/casual golf clubs?

    I like the 9 hole courses. Not so many people dragging along on some holes forever and other groups trying to speed run the course. More relaxed in my experience but I'm guessing it has a lot to do with where you are.
