    For how many more years do you think people will bring up Ray Rice whenever a player gets suspended? The NFL really didn't do themselves a favor with that one.

    Chrome update 37 WTF

    I'm not home to see if it's updated yet, but I swear they've made some baffling decisions with Chrome. The biggest one that stands out is when they removed the arrow buttons on the scroll bars. Like, who's the asshole idiot who signed off on that being a good idea?

    So I got it installed on my SSD and did the 1-10 run. It hitches every 30 seconds or so when I'm running around. This definitely wasn't there pre-CBT4, and the SSD didn't fix anything.

    And here I did one hoping to get a 2nd Lira, and instead of Elsel. I'm actually happy with that because once I level her up some I can finally replace my Eze on rainbow team.

    I really need to figure out a way to amass lots of cash quickly. I ran the dungeons this weekend as soon as I had enough energy and I'm still feeling broke. My Tesla is at lvl 61 at the moment. Need enough cash to get him to 80, then evo, then 100. And Lira. Ugh...

    So it looks like a whole bunch of accounts were hacked and used to buy the $150 founders packs. Hopefully everyone with billing information went and added an authenticator. At this point I feel like it's your own fault if you get hacked.

    That's why I said in the first post that I'm pretty sure the suspension is less about him deserving it and more due to reputation. I've been pretty surprised that the Redskins keep bringing him back. But I guess when your team is that crappy, you just make due with what you can.

    Saw it during the game. It was a hard hit, but it was shoulder to chest. Helmets were incidental. That said, he's a dirty player always going for the knockout hit. So even though it was clean, his reputation earned him a suspension.

    Maybe the problem is you're on alpha, TecKnoe. I've been doing the Halcyona stuff on beta and it's enjoyable. Plus random 1v1 out in the wild. And yeah, I don't think anyone who's played it sees this one lasting 6+ months. It'll be a blast for the first month or two though.

    One of the Redskins fans made a similar argument about how Pierre Garcon wasn't used much in the preseason, and that meant we shouldn't worry about RG3. But there's a difference between "not used much" in preseason and "forgot basic football fundamentals" in preseason.

    I didn't have any latency issues until this beta test (played CBT 1-4). I did notice some lag while on my clipper at sea during CBT3, and I had read that people in alpha had been noticing excessive lag there (not sure if this was graphics or latency related though). My issues in CBT4 were...

    The lag I read was due to a DDoS that effected multiple games. That doesn't explain the lag from alpha, or that was going on prior to when they said the DDoS happened though.

    The spoonfuls are selling for like 4g in beta now. It sucked the first time I took my boat out in my late 20's and spent damn near everything I had to get it built. Got blown up the first trip and they were selling for 10 or 11g.

    The more games I watch, the more I'm souring on the NFL. I don't like the new rules for this high flying offense bullshit where the defense basically gets to stand around while the QB slings it. I also want to take back what I said about RG3 having good football instincts. He doesn't step up...

    It's free to play. The items from the cash shop just happened this week and has quite a bit of backlash. We'll see if it remains (it probably will). Hopefully it's overblown how bad it'll be though.

    Pretty much this. I can see this one lasting at least 3 months, which is about 2 months longer than I generally last in other MMO's these days before I realize how awful they are. It could potentially be much longer. The PVP is a blast. As long as there's a decent community to PVP still, it...

    This is the only cash shop item that really bothers me. It makes it feel like regrade scrolls will be required to gear up.

    I agree. While Cowboys fans may make the franchise a ton of money, they're pretty disloyal and bandwagony for the most part.
