I'm generally pretty craptastic at FPS games, so could someone give me some pointers on:

Short-lived was referring to Spectrum Holobyte, the company that bought Microprose

Luclin was ok...wasn't that the expansion that brought about AA skills (which were awesome) GoD is when my whole guild quit playing EQ. Sucked balls.

Yeah, going to convert all my evasion to armor soon, and probably run the grace aura as well for extra evasion to armor conversion.

I've found some really good room prices at the Rio a couple times. Nice rooms, most(maybe all?) are suites, and even though it is off the strip, it's a Harrah's owned property so they run a free shuttle bus to like 3 or 4 of the strip hotels. The first time I stayed at the Rio they ran free...

I've owned my 2005 Escape since it was brand new 7 1/2 years ago. I've got 130,000 miles on it currently and I've never had a single problem. It's the 4WD Limited model(non-hybrid). I'm actually pretty shitty about the general maintenance(oil changes every ~5000-8000 miles, replace the air...

What kind of health/ES pool should someone be shooting for on boss fights in merciless HC? I'm just starting merciless at lvl 54, and I'm only sitting at about 800ES & 2000 health. Very low armor so far, but I'll eventually have that evasion to armor keystone in another 5 or 6 levels, working...

While EA is most definitely the devil for basically ending the glory days of Bullfrog, Origin, Maxis, and Westwood, they were not responsible for Microprose. That was the short-lived company Spectrum Holobyte(I think eventually bought by Atari long after microprose was gone and all the top...

About the only thing you have to coordinate much in a group that I've seen is auras. Heck, you could both be freezing pulse-based characters and do just fine as long as you each level up some different auras for grouping. You don't need 2 people running clarity obviously. With 2 people you...

Definitely remember Messiah. I sold video games/pc software from 1995-2002, so I saw all sorts of debacles in the gaming industry come and go. One of the bigger ones was Star Wars Rebellion launching the same day as StarCraft The game was fairly buggy at launch, and was probably a little...

They own an actual insurancecompany, or they are agents/brokers selling insurance? Big difference there. I wouldn't trust any individual that says they own an insurance company, lol.

360 controller. Awesome and easy, works with everything. Easy choice

You painted a nursery before you were even pregnant? That's maybe a little bit psycho...

I can't believe that kids sit in a damn seat until the age of 11-12 nowadays. Hell, when I was a kid we were rolling around in the back of moms station wagon without any seatbelts(only had them in the front). How the times have changed...

I can't badmouth the RMAH, I ended up thinking Diablo 3 was pretty mediocre overall, so after I got bored with it in the first month I just botted a shitload of money, sold it on the RMAH, and made about $300 before I got banned. D3 was the first game that I ever made a profit playing, it...

Here are some of the mistakes I have made with builds where I've pretty much had to abandon a character at higher level(50+) because they become unplayable, from early on in closed beta before I knew what the hell I was doing: 1)Taking lots of resist nodes. Gear at lvl 50+ is going to be...

Honestly, Jimmy Johns is cheaper than Subway. Even Jimmy Johns Gargantuan sandwhich, their biggest sandwhich, is cheaper than a Subway Club anymore(club is like $8.50), and it's way better with a lot more meat. Quiznos is actually cheaper now too. I can get a large cheesesteak or chicken...

The bad part is that subway only has like 2 or 3 subs that are $5 anymore. I went there the other day and a subway club plus chips and a drink was like $11. Fucking hell. The monthly deal is now a $6 footlong

We're also right in the middle of trying to figure out car seats, strollers, and all that crap. We can't decide whether to initially get a modular car seat that is basically a carrier + buy extra bases to put in each car(and my moms, who will be babysitting a lot), but those only hold a child...

Hrmm, then my main guess would be that there is too much bass going to the headphones, they can't handle it at whatever the normal volume level is that you are using, and the extreme bass is causing the distortion. Try going into your sound settings and jacking with the equalizer and turn down...

And it's only with those Sennheiser headphones, and not your regular computer speakers?

1. Ultima 7 2. Everquest 3. Castlevania II - Simon's Quest 4. Wing Commander: Privateer 1 & 2 5. Coach K College Basketball(Genesis, still the best college b-ball game ever made)

You can definitely make a high DPS, low armor(but high evasion, or energy shield) character that is totally viable in the default(softcore) league. Dying there isn't much of a setback, just exp loss(once you are past normal difficulty). Hardcore is way more restrictive, it's all about...

I'm really liking Hardcore more than I thought I would, after months of playing default league. I'm on my second character(first died at like lvl 15 to my own stupidity), and up to about lvl 47 or so with only a couple close calls so far. So far the only downside seems to be that by...

Been playing the game since back in October or so, ponied up the $10 for beta access back then, bought some stash tabs with the credits, and haven't spent any more money since. Thinking about dropping some cash on the custom stash tabs that are currently on sale though.

New Mexico sportswriter can't take it & quits http://newmexico.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1486756

Dumb I miss the good ol' days when I actually cared about Blizzard :/

My whatbox.ca seedbox is still chugging along great with IPT. Here are the torrents I've grabbed in the last week: I guess the only key is to grab them initially within the first hour or two that they are posted. Probably 75% of my upload/seeding is done within the first 24 hours of a...

Yeah, the front mic jack would be the only one that probably required an extra wire to connect to the motherboard at some point. All of those ports built into the front of your case(power button, USB, audio ports, etc) have to be wired to the mobo, but the jack on the back has no wiring, it's...

IPT down for anyone else? Neither the .com nor .ru site is working for me. Hope its just a temporary glitch, and not something more permanent.

Are you talking about Garriott or Roberts? Either way, to call one of them a "nobody" is hardly fair. Roberts, Garriott, Sid Meier, Will Wright and a few others are to gaming in the Western world what Miyamoto is to gaming in Japan. Computer gaming possibly never takes off if it weren't for...

Speaking of Calipari and recruits... Julius Randall just committed to Kentucky, that makes 5 of the top 13 recruits. # 2,4,5,10,13. They also signed the #18 guy for shits and giggles. Yep, a top 20 recruit who may end up being a 6th man, may not even get to start. So when does the NCAA...

Also getting married on a college football Saturday. Fall weddings are the fucking worst.

Yeah, if you've swapped motherboards AND video cards and still having issues, it almost has to be power related at that point, or maybe even something really weird like a grounding issue with the case/motherboard. I assume if you've gone to those extreme lengths you've also reinstalled Windows...

Probably just chasing numbers for now. It probably would take a few years before we really see any apps/games that would fully utilize all that power. Of course by that point we're going to be a couple more models of phones newer too. Seems like phone hardware is greatly outpacing the...

What is everyones opinion of sleep schedules? My wife and I are on a similar work schedule, I work 8-4, she works 8-5, but her commute is a bit longer and being a woman it takes her a LOT longer to get ready in the morning, so she generally gets up about an hour before me, but also wants to go...

Have we learned nothing from pre-ordering other games before we see reviews?

Finally tried out hardcore for the first time last night. Definitely adds a much stronger feeling of panic to certain situations. First character got destroyed by goddamn flicker-striking lightning dudes in the ship graveyard cave at level 12. Saw a pack of blues coming my way, tried to run...

http://bgr.com/2013/03/19/galaxy-s-4...rmance-385274/ Have to say that the S4 being 50% more powerful than the Nexus 4, and double the iPhone 5 is pretty damned impressive. As long as it doesn't chew through battery life unneccesarily quick while bringing that much power.

Don't ever miss a NIN tour if they come through your town. Saw the JA/NIN show(with Tom Morellos Street Sweeper Social Club opening) and it was great. Although NIN with A Perfect Circle opening about 10-11 years ago was amazing as well, that show might have even been better.
