    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I heard a rumor that any time your system is powered on and running, the Kinect video will be broadcasting all of your activities to the FBI to fight terrorism or something. True story.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    None right this moment. YL has allowed people to build their own "custom" zones for the purpose of testing, but nothing has actually been implemented onto the server yet. Hopefully soon.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Maybe MS is doing a huge bait and switch. They release info about 40 [bad] things related to their Xbox, but when the system finally comes out, it only has 20. "That's much better than we expected!" Then people will buy. "Sure it doesn't play used games, but it doesn't rape your wife the...

    Car Audio

    Ok, keep in mind that factory head units are usually very low in power. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, get speakers with a lower RMS wattage rating. That way they won't need to be amplified to reach their full potential. If you're looking at generic 50/75 watt ones, you're...

    Car Audio

    I'm a fan of Polk Audio's mid range and tweeters. They make some quality components. I don't really know how into this you plan on going... just a generic speaker swap (quick and easy), or do you plan on swapping out the Head Unit as well? Maybe throw in an amp or two? A lot of cars these...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I wish I had a picture of his Tauren warrior from Beta, before he remade as Simone. That character was awesome.

    Timeline: Kingdom Hearts

    I just watched all 50 minutes of your video link. Thanks for that. I had only ever played KH1 and 2 and bits of Chain of Memories (in the PS2 remake). I don't own a portable, so those game evaded me. It was nice seeing the story laid out like that.

    Timeline: Kingdom Hearts

    I loved Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2. They're releasing KH 1.5 for the PS3 shortly. It's going to combine 1 & 2 as well as some of the hand held games or something, to really give you the story. I would assume that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be available for the PS4 in the future. Such an awesome...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Yeahlight reached out to Smedley about Sony hosting the EQClassic servers. They could charge people a subscription to use it and YL would make no money at all in the process. All he asked, in return, were the official drop tables and random spawn chances from the EQ Mac server. Smedley said...

    I'm REALLY late to this thread, but I felt like I should post old images from vanilla that I still have on my HD. And this was the general opinion of most Horde during vanilla. This is from my days in FoH. So is this one. (Our first Onyxia Kill) My Warrior, Szader, at...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    It isn't vaporwear. We are absolutely 100% playing the game. We've found pretty much every bug or error that's currently available. The server has NEVER crashed, and random bug updates were taking upwards of 10 minutes to put onto the server. Things were going great. They were about to...

    Japan

    Christmas and New Years are reversed in Japan, as far as America views these holidays. Christmas is a time be with your friends. Get them small gifts and the like. New Years Eve is for your family. Travel back home and enjoy your parents & grand parents. Definitely the opposite of what...

    YL just minutes ago made a new post on the tester forums saying that his RL got real busy all of the sudden. The company that he owns IRL is being bought out by another company, and he's going to spend the next 6 months doing nothing but making sure that goes according to plan. Which means his...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    It was a joke, yes. But I didn't feel the need for a sarcasm tag. I assumed it pretty much read as it should have. As for going back and re-watching the old show, I just don't have time anymore. I have difficulty keeping up with modern shows that are still on. And gaming? Forget that. I...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Because it's completely different? I mean, Khan wasn't even the official bad guy until people told others that he was in it. I can answer the question though. I've NEVER seen a previous Star Trek anything. Not a movie, not a TV show. It just wasn't my thing... seemed way too nerdy for...

    Urgent Advice Needed from an American!

    I put premium fuel in my car (roughly 20 cents a gallon more), and I'm out ~$60 every filling. That's putting 15 gallons in. However, this is Philadelphia area, so 100% the opposite side of the country. I suck.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Well, it's purely game mechanics. IE - How things work related to combat. It's only combat based, though. Nothing with world geography. They were trying to determine if anything they had done up until this point in the design process would have fatal errors to occur that would crash the...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    So I just wanted to bump this up to the top. EQC's testing appears to be stalled out right now. I personally haven't had a lot of time to play recently, but every time I log in, even for just a few minutes, the server appears to be a ghost town. It's possible that people are just waiting...

    I heard an un-intended spoiler on Opie & Anthony today about the new Spider Man. Giovanni Ribisi is playing The Rhino, and he's all tatted up. Might be good.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    EQC's approach would be to allow boxing in the form of 1 running copy of the game per computer. If you have more comps, you can box. But he is dead against scripting. So let's say you work at a help desk or something and have access to 50 computers, you would not be able to have 50 accounts...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    People seem to neglect that around 95% of the audience of these movies have NEVER READ a comic book, much less a Marvel comic of Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America or Thor. We are a small audience. With that said, they can't introduce all of the nuances that make the characters great in a...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    YL's personal goals are to make a SoD-type server that he will run. Harakiri, on the other hand, is the "Up through Velious" type. YL just sees a server that only ever encapsulates 3 expansions as having a permanent stop point. Realistically, there is only so much someone can do with a...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    You have a point, but had it not been for the way RDJ portrayed Tony Stark / Iron Man, the entirety that is modern day Marvel cinema would not have existed at all. He hit the ball so far out of the park that they were able to use it as a pillar to build Thor, Captain America, & The Avengers off...

    Here are pictures of one of the meals. I'll look on google maps to see if I can find the place. Even though it's been a few years, I could pretty much locate it. (It was Really close to the Thousand Steps temple thing up on top of the mountain).

    Honeymoon Ideas?

    I spent a few days in St. Croix (US Virgin Island) this past December. It was a beautiful country and you don't even need a passport to get there. On top of that, the currency is USD. It was a really beautiful place. The days were roughly 85 degrees, and the water was like a bath. Went...

    Japan

    I was in Kyoto with my wife (she's Japanese) 2 years ago. We stayed at one of those traditional style hotels. It was roughly $600 USD per night, but it was incredible. Also, that price included breakfast and lunch every day. The hotel had a total of 26 rooms, and a "room girl" that took care...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    In the ultimate universe they wanted to create a "new" Galactus. They couldn't imagine a being only a little larger than a sky scraper being able to eat an entire planet, so they envisioned it something like a swarm of Locusts or ants that can destroy the entire harvest of a farm in no time at...
