    Desktop Computers

    And no SSD which IMO is pretty much a requirement these days for performance. I guess you could always add one. And I would ask them if you get the win disk with it. Also ask them if you can go without the 650ti which is crap. Or at least upgrade to 660ti.

    Buying a car?

    Rotors can cost anywhere from $30-$200 ea. So yeah you are right. But why the fuck are you gonna spend $200 for a rotor? The average price is about $50 for a good rotor, so thats $200 for all 4. Non metallic pads run $35 for a set of fronts and rears so thats another $70. And im sure the shop...

    Meh, im not sure the education system is slipping as you are saying. I have 2 kids in public schools and from what I see they are pushing them harder than when I was a kid. The both are doing math and reading at a level way higher than I at their age and they get tons of homework to do, way more...

    Buying a car?

    Umm, WTF? Is this like a Lamborghini? Also you should learn to do this shit yourself. Changing break pads and replacing rotors is like $150 for the entire car and it takes about a hour. Im no car mechanic and I dont really want to fuck with that shit either, but hearing stories like yours...

    The E-cig Thread

    Its literally the worst mistake I made in my life and one of the only things I truly regret, is starting to smoke. LOL, my parents told me, but I did not listen.

    I agree. There is just so much to fix in this country before public schools are "working" like they should.

    I agree. Competition was a huge driving force for me in school. But it does not work for everyone.

    EQ Never

    Yeah, I remember reading about that story-bricks thing when it was posted at FOH a while back. Definitely seemed interesting. Will look forward to see how they integrate this into the game. Definitely sparks some new hope in this game because of that.

    The E-cig Thread

    Because from what I read its 1000x better than smoking a regular cig. Obviously if I were not a smoker I would not be doing this. And I already feel better. I nolonger wheeze, Im getting my smell back and overall just feel better. BTW why was this thread moved? Im not reviewing products here?

    The E-cig Thread

    Anyone here use E-cigarettes? Its been about 16 days of me using it and so far I have not had one real cig and I have not felt the urge to have one yet. Although I have not drank yet. BTW, I have quit smoking before, last time was for about 3 yrs. But around 2008 I started again until about 16...

    Waht fun is it to exactly have everything outlined for you before you even begin to play the game? What spec you should be to the last point, what gear you should be wearing down to the last ring and enchant. Its nothing more than a fucking checklist at that point. I dont want to play a...

    Well with live events like that I have to agree. But on the other hand you were flooded with shit that was not necessarily true either with no way to know. At least the media is held to a higher standard, like having certainty before reporting some shit. But look at the event now. Without the...

    No there is just something to be said about leaving a bit of mystery around some shit rather than having every ounce of your game turn into a massive spreadsheet. Thats all. It just makes the entire thing boring, and tiring in the end.

    I could care less about DPS meters and whatever. The thing I dislike about shit like that is the stupid childish meta game and culture thats formed around mods like that. Like you have to have build xxx to do xxxxx DPS....you have to do xxxx DPS or else you fail. You have to have gearscore yyy...

    I would love to get a temperature controlled smoker, or even build myself one one day. I always wanted to make my own smoked kielbasa, but that requires cold smoking and drying.

    Thank god my industry (automotive engineering) went full blown business casual back in the mid 90s. I hated wearing ties and shit. Now its all about a nice shirt, some docker type pants and you're good to go. So much more comfortable sitting in the office all day long now.

    Take healing in WoW for an example. Without a proper mouseover mod, its damn near impossible to heal now because they design the game around it.

    Sure it trivialized shit at first, THEN they designed around it. Then more mods came out, and then they design around those...etc... So for you to be a properly equipped raider in WoW, you have to have this and that specific mod or else you are fail. Remember the whole decurse fiasco?

    Well the way content is going these days, with the scalable shit that we saw in GW2 and Defiance and even Rift, there is no reason for hard caps in raids. Just make the raid scalable. You can even make the system more intelligent if its an instanced raid. For instance, if you try to cheese the...

    Somebody had to be feeding his mind with radical shit either here in this country or his motherland. I mean, its not like someone picks up the Koran one day and becomes a radical Muslim bent on destroying all the infidels.
