    I'm in some kind of weird character limbo, where I can see people joining the guild - my character has <<ISIS>> next to him, but can't read guild chat or /tell anyone in game. Strange deal. Plus I'm stuck with error 90000 in instances - which I think has a lot to do with other guild issues, etc.

    Trying to zone into instances/duties = constant error 90000. Meh. Guess I can level up something else in the interim!

    Best PC RPGS of the last decade

    Is Morrowind the last decade? If so, that's a no brainer for me. Easily my favorite single player rpg of all time. Dark Souls is up there as well, and the best game (by far) from the last generation.

    Just installed 120gb ssd - seems pretty sweet so far, good suggestion! Increased FFXIV benchmark by 600 points. Will have to return the one I bought from Amazon impulsively today, but whatevs. Just held a beer pong tournament in my living room, with gangster rap blaring on my stereo and papa...

    Bah, couldn't find any good deals on vid cards/ssd's - so bought a 64gb ssd off amazon one day shipping. Any clue on how long it will take to clone windows/ffxiv onto ssd tomorrow? If it takes forever, I'll probably just wait until the (inevitable) down time between tomorrow and release Still...

    660 & 64gb SSD it is, thanks brothers. I threw a pork loin in the slow cooker with some bbq sauce, so thats dinner tonight/lunch tomorrow sorted. Keg just showed up, put it in a trash can in the living room... Looks pretty out of place, bahahaha.

    Quick - thinking about passing on the gym today to hit up microcenter for a new gfx card. $200 or less, any thoughts? I'm using a 2 year old 6850, and it runs the game great - but thought after two years maybe the newer sub $200 cards would offer me a bit more performance wise. Any thoughts on...

    Exactly! No greater bonding experience in life than 2 grown men rolling 3ft tall giggly girls in a final fantasy MMO dedicated to riding chickens and killing bunnies. While getting drunk. And masturbating. Together. What a whore though, sorry Stoi. You gotta be a bro I think.

    Not sure why Arsenal would even consider loaning out/selling Poldi without bringing in an adequate replacement. Grown to really like the guy - great finisher, cool dude, and intelligent player... but fuck is he lazy. He hasn't quite panned out on the wing, and its no fault of his own really...

    Which is why it would seem that somebody is off. Mata to Manc w/ Roo going the other way anyone? Nah, makes too much sense. Mata would be a good fit at United I think, and Mourinho doesn't seem to like him all that well. Next few weeks will be absolutely awesome.

    SSN reports Chelski in advanced talks to sign Willian, ahaha. These next 2 weeks are going to be fucking wild. Wonder if that means their pursuit of Roo is over, and/or Mata is off. Think it'd be crazy to ship Mata off, was their best player last year.

    My hope (re: prayer) is that Madrid promote Morata, and go in at the zero hour for Suarez. About a 2% chance that happens. Hard to see Benzema coming off, but seeing it on BBC gives it a bit more credence than the back page of the Mirror. Think we have a better chance at Di Maria with Bale...

    Finally got my code(s) in and seems like I'm good to go. While I don't know (and don't really think) I'll be playing for 3 months, I'm probably going to pay for 3 months subscription up front for that ballin lookin' mount. Saturday can't get here soon enough. Just ordered a keg of Shiner for...

    I feel a bit like a recovering heroin addict whose spent the weekend with Slash and Charlie Sheen... I know I shouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did, but I can't stop thinking about all the good times we had together. It's a fine line bro, hahaha.

    Nah, I own the house ha. Was going to go w/ family, but I told them I was super busy with work (which is true) so they can have the place to themselves. Girlfriend is going without me, leaving me here alone to drink cherry cokes, play games and not workout. Can't believe I just typed that...

    I won't say its going to be a massive hit - I will say it is definitely polished though. I'd love to hear the "20%" of MMO's released more polished than this one on release. I can think of maybe 3, and that is being awfully generous. I've been having childish withdrawals since Sunday night...

    I had mine pre-ordered through SE, and cancelled it just now... simply don't trust them to get it right. Re pre-ordered through Amazon, and got my code within minutes. Will try to plug it in this afternoon after these meetings - but I agree - Amazon just dominates stuff like this.

    Anyone that pre-ordered - have you already been charged for the game? I'm a bit nervous as when I pre-ordered, the $30 was out of my account - but scrolling through my checking account - it looks like that money wasn't charged. Like they did it just to see if I had available funds. Don't want to...

    God damn, Spurs getting Willian is bad enough - but Lamela on top of that is absolutely crazy. Can't believe that..... Willian is a good player, but Lamela is the one that is most annoying. Awesome prospect. My only hope is Spurs take all season to gel, and/or the Brazilian guys all start doing...

    I have legs like tree trunks, and do 1 day a week. How much cardio are you doing? Any running, biking etc? I guess cycling on the weekends has helped beef them up or something, as I always see people complaining about legs. Mine are pretty big/defined - easily some of the biggest at my gym -...

    I had a fucking ball playing this over the weekend - dungeons were fun (if not undertuned), got a few pieces of pink gear for my pugilist (assume thats "blue/rare" - is there a level above that?), and dinged 20 and 15 on lancer. Only issues were 1017 login "world is full" errors, but not a big...

    Today, the xfer window seems to have exploded. Manc has a 28m bid for Fellaini & Baines rejected as insulting (it is), Arsenal have a 10m bid for Cabaye rejected as insulting (it is, though less so), and ITV/Italian papers claiming Arsenal are making 20m bid for Pogba. Would rather Pogba at 20m+...

    Seems like teleporting/hearthing triggers me to crash to desktop occasionally, forcing me back into the error 1017. Hope they can work that out by next weekend... Got pugilist to 17 (hope I can finish up to 20) and lancer to 15. Think(?) that is all that is needed for monk. First dungeon was fun...

    After playing a good amount today, I can say without any reservation that (for me) this game is better than Guild Wars 2, SWTOR, Rift, etc. Amazing what a nice looking world and little music will do for your overall satisfaction level. I'm really liking the 2.5s GCD as well, when I thought I...
