    That twister ability is nuts. How they ever figured out you have to run in a circle to avoid it I have no clue.

    Coffee thread

    Unlike Europeans, we Americans drink coffee because we have to work, also unlike Europeans, so sometimes we end up drinking more. I personally find Starbucks best for convenience, as McDonald's flavored lattes tend to be a bit on the too sweet side. Not sure if they have philz coffee outside of...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    I think the point is that chatting needs to flow naturally from the game, not something that you 'just do if you want to', which just sounds like it was meant obnoxiously. This happens to a degree by virtue of the game not being that user friendly. If everything is accessible and convenient...

    Path of Exile

    Wow that's a lot of changes. Tho not entirely sure if the uniques nerfs are retroactive or only effect future drops, such as the shavronne ES nerf

    so i joined a wanderers palace premade as a healer for a 'speed run' and got kicked out when they asked and I said I hadnt done a speed run before. Is there a specific method for speed running it? certain places the tank dies etc?

    Neurosurgery

    Yea, it sounds like its in a bad spot. Maybe they mean its large relative to the area it's in, causing an impact on adjacent structures. My guess is skull base/jug foramen. A large number of these cysts are higher up, (in areas called the temporal fossa and higher in the posterior fossa), where...

    Health Care Thread

    Specialty physicians are getting crushed under this new system. What's lost amongst the media and doesn't reach the general public is the fact that the power under obamacare has been transferred from the physicians to the administrators of hospitals. Which means people with masters and univ of...

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    Decent sample size in here now and I don't think I saw rift mentioned even once? Wonder how that game is doing now. I recall for a while it had quite a bit of endgame raid content but I guess that petered off

    Neurosurgery

    Arachnoid cysts are extremely common and a 2.2cm one is pretty small. Much larger arachnoid cysts often cause no symptoms at all. You must have been extremely unlucky with where this one was located. They also don't grow that quickly usually so your case is very unusual. Are they sure it's an...

    This is really good buzz. I am looking forward to buying this, hope it comes out soon. Would an mmo work in rift?

    Have any of you seen the new $100 USD yet?

    Just curious how does the govt get old money out of circulation? Some kind of agreement with banks?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Can someone explain to me why I am enjoying this game more than any mmo since vanilla wow? I see all the complaints and logically I feel I agree with them. On paper it's as content barren and in some ways even worse than swtor , but I couldn't even play that for two weeks, but this game I am...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    Is it conceivable that throwing 75 mil away was the best decision? Say they put another 25 mil into the game to finish it, even if the game was an abortion I'm guessing it would net atleast 50-60 mil in box sales. So even at a huge loss, Rhode Island could have recouped more than just getting...

    Best wifi adapter for picking up weak signals?

    Actually I do have one question - the adapter I bought already has an extendable antenna. So when I attach it to the Pringles can, I imagine i have to do connect it to the adapter's antenna specifically, correct?

    Best wifi adapter for picking up weak signals?

    How should the Pringles can be positioned relative to the wifi adapter? Should I just stick it in the can? Edit - nvm just watched a YouTube video. Excited to see if this works! And have to find a good hiding place if coworkers stop by

    Best wifi adapter for picking up weak signals?

    How do I get that to work? Do I just put it next to my adapter? At target buying pizza flavor Pringles now. Do I need to empty it first?

    Best wifi adapter for picking up weak signals?

    I game from my office and there is unprotected wifi about 75 feet and two thickwalls away. Currently I am doing ok with the 1-2 bars I'm getting but every so often it drops which is frustrating. Rights now i use a netgear a6200 ac1200 dualband but was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I dunno I think there should be tools already to deal with these situations. Tanks should bust out defense cool downs, healers avoid certain high threat skills when possible. Maybe it needs to be tuned properly , but the fact that aggro is not a given is a good thing. Maybe one mechanic they...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The Aggro from healing kinda reminds me of ffxi and I think it's a good thing. Ever since wow aggro in mmos has been taken for granted. In eq and Ffxi days people had to be careful and plan their actions. As a whm if the tank is able to switch targets to gain aggro in a reasonable amount of...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm still enjoying the game a lot, mostly because the graphics and music are top notch, definitely better than any mmo I've yet played. I do wish their combat was a bit more involved. As it is it is even more basic than Ffxi. So the challenge is yet again achieved by this arcades dodging and...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    What do MMOs really bring to interactive entertainment that makes them unique? No one is going to remember secret world's or swtor's storyline a few years from now, no matter how good they were. That's because games like The Last of Us make them laughable in comparison. Point being...

    Breaking Bad

    I do hope some of that barrel money makes it to Walt jr and holly in the end. If only so Walt can still feel this wasn't all for nothing ( tho his real goal was to build an empire, which he essentially did). Last shot when credits roll should be Walt jr hobbling up to a door that says 'open...

    He should have come done that in sf. People would have been completely unphased, and our local crazies would chase that wannabe outta town in a day

    Breaking Bad

    The nazis and Todd don't really know Walt as Heisenberg. I doubt that was them. I'm guessing either someone from tuco's universe enters the fray or maybe a wholly new party. Or maybe they never explain it

    Anyone else laugh when they showed Jesse in the torture room and he had that swollen shut eye? That shit is a running gag at this point. How many times is that now, five?

    Breaking Bad

    Todd is definitely a whackjob and the payoff must still be coming. There's been some big hints dropped so far. Like when he shot that kid - he kept that spider, like some kind of trophy. And the way he looked at lydia's lipstick on the mug the prior episode. He's a sick fuck and I have no doubt...

    Just had my expired passport stolen

    Yea I'm not sure why my wife brings my old passport - I guess its insurance in case I lose my new one? As far as the money, it was a long trip and we brought it as emergency money ( was primarily going to use cc) - made the mistake of putting it all in one place
