    Everquest - Live Servers

    Aside from the terrible framerate, this is pretty awesome and I'd love to see EQ actually get some sort of visual overhaul like this. In 2006 we got a bunch of zones overhauled (the desert, commons, Innothule, etc) and I don't see why it can't happen again. "No! That costs money!" said DPG when...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    In retrospect the FF8 leveling system was kind of hilarious to me, because in school I knew a bunch of kids who powerleveled in FF7 (getting to like level 99 before the final fight, getting all of the materia maxed out outside Junon, etc). They'd just trivialize the game with their grinding...

    Oh cool, I assume you can also use it to port to LDON camps. That actually is pretty useful, especially early on.

    Fallout

    I must have missed when that happened. I did watch some episodes distracted. Some time soon I'm gonna rewatch the whole thing un-distracted. Still wondering why people hated episode 8 though. I do expect this show to pull a Westworld and get woke and shitty later on, but I hope not. Seems like...

    Fallout

    Finished the show, went back and rewatched the first episode in light of the rest. Very good show, could watch four more seasons of this. Have lots of questions, want to see more. The scene in the last episode where Goggins is eavesdropping on the Illuminati meeting is superb. They're...

    Anyone know what this is? It's from "FF4: The Complete Collection" on PSP. I played that whole game over a decade ago and don't remember it having any kind of battle with the Giant of Babil like this. Don't remember it really having anything that wasn't in the original game either, unless it had...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    How does this Grok dipshit get anyone to join his guilds? Regularly kicking people he doesn't like and snapping on people for jokes is douche behavior. lol, the impression I get is that Lockjaw was both a hoot and a huge shitshow.

    RI and TEB teaming up or something? Should call the guild the Anti-Zaide Brigade. Not that I know of, but if anyone missed it, it won't let you reserve a name unless you have 200 days played with that exact name. So no reserving other people's names just because yours has 200 days. In other...

    You couldn't pay me to do another Mage epic. Luckily on Teek that epic will be no problem to get done, if you know where to go.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    What the fuck. So is Bitcoin about to skyrocket from the halving, or are we in for Crypto Winter? Place your bets. SEC's interference is the main thing that warded me off of altcoins and the market at large. Really expected them to Shut It Down by now but here we are.

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Was wondering if I should play Nier Replicant and Nier Automata before this, since it's a spiritual Nier 3 and I never played either of those. However, since there's no real time for that and no story connection, I'll most likely just jump to Stellar Blade and play the Niers at some later date.

    Fallout

    "Communist is just a bad word they call the people who aren't insane" Man, even the good shows have numerous little snippets of ideological propaganda slipping in. It isn't the 1960's. In the modern era "fascist" seems to be much more frequently deployed against people who aren't insane /...

    Fallout

    Alright, Enclave was the one I was most uncertain about. So they blew everything up on purpose to rebuild it after, makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing that's why Goggins dislikes those corporations so much, he realized when he was serving in the military that something was rotten in Denmark...

    I've only dealt with warpers firsthand (i.e. in a way that affected my gameplay experience in any negative way) once on TLP, and that was during the Selo competition between Faceless and Amtrak. Other than that I've barely ever even seen it happen. All of this "I have to warp to compete if...

    Fallout

    I assume Vault-Tec started the war so they could make mad bank selling vaults? They didn't even need to drop a nuke to do that, just get the US and China fighting to begin with, then sell everyone on the need to hide in vaults. Did they start the war itself or did they start the nuclear exchange...

    Whether they get caught or not, warping sucks and warpers suck. Also it can get an entire guild suspended if it happens in a raid setting.

    Watched the first episode, actually a pretty damn good show, I'm shocked. The main character is compulsively likeable and root-able. Goggins is interesting. The whole setting is interesting and feels like the Fallout universe. I need to finally play Fallout 2. Also, the big twist in the first...

    Not as many people actually use those things as what others have said, certainly not "everyone and their brother". You don't need them to compete either. Having a good knowledge of zone layouts and spawn times as a puller will get you by just fine without SEQ. And given the large volume of camp...

    Rummaging around in boxes. Here's what I got when I returned to the game in 2004 after a 3 year break. Kind of crazy that OoW was $20 at launch, which is when this was. Always had a soft spot for OoW and Epic 2.0s and kinda feel like those are the pinnacle of weapon design in EQ. Ranger 2.0 is...

    How do you get this window? I need to check and see if I have 200 days played (doubt it). 100 or even 50 would be a lot more reasonable, but eh. So if I'm understanding this correctly, you can only reserve a name if you've already played under that specific name for a huge amount of time. That...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Maybe it's time for me to finally run Fallout 2. My efforts to get back in the CRPG saddle with Neverwinter Nights fell flat, so maybe I should just let that one go and move on to something else like FO2.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    The 2000 foot buoy drop is probably faulty equipment because nothing else makes any sense. The dense anomaly on the other hand looks pretty consistent over time, like something massive caused a major rise in the water level. Most likely an iceberg detaching from Antarctica, but it could also be...

    Do you have to be currently a subscriber for the name reservation thing? And when does the login bonus (EXP potion) end? Guess I'll burn a krono to get this stuff.

    If Teek were a fast exp server like Selo (+50% exp rate IIRC) that would be amazing. I'd like to go to Live on a TLP again finally, especially with a second chance at Mischief, but at this point in life it would be much easier to stay current / on top of the wave with a fast exp server. They...

    They need to just make Tormax a Teek clone and be done with it, nobody is asking for an Aradune clone. If that happens, I vote we all jump ship on Teek and go to Tormax instead just to be on a server with a name that doesn't suck.

    I took a couple non-fans to watch Ospreay vs Takeshita and they were all wowed by it and it made them interested in the overall product. Match had crossover appeal, for sure. Cody vs Roman has an incredible build, but if you're rating on match quality, 4.75 might even be generous. It all...

    I'd just get the perk that keeps you from de-leveling and the one with the minor exp bonus (just for launch on that one). 35+20+35 is probably about right for shopping. Add another 10 or so for Speed potions to have SoW on at all times. As an enchanter you won't really need much else, maybe one...

    I never finished the evolving Zek earring from the 115 expansion. I did all the quests for it and got it up to the final stage (level 8 or so) only to find out that I had to grind out yet another 0-100% for it to actually reach max power. This one took forever (like an hour to move it 4%) and at...

    Was playing Dark Souls, got to pretty late in the game (only Gwyn left), noticed an NPC that I've never seen before: It's right near the beginning in Firelink Shrine. Got an item next to him. Not sure how to get to the guy. Anyone know offhand who this is / what it's for?

Never had any particular car issues before the last few years and never really filed a claim for anything. That totally explains the high rates and also means pretty much...
