    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm kinda sad this forum is dead, yet again. But the new forum software is a lot better and most of the big threads and a lot of people have already migrated over.

    Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

    Ok, soooo ... registered over at ReReRolled. - the software is better in pretty much every way - mobile is not only "usable" but quite good (need to use "full site" option here to make this forum remotely usable on mobile) - the upvote system is a lot better - seems like most of the big...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    This is pretty good. TLDR: they mathematically prove that only 0.08% of comments the new Ghostbusters film had anything to do with "women" or "feminism". So essentially the "deluge of misogynists" narrative was complete bullshit. It made the top of r/movies mulitiple times and is being...

    Cool, so we can all stay then? Wasn't too happy migrating over to the ReRe site. Probably would have just finally tapped out instead of migrating yet again ...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Yep, tried it today. Works flawlessly, although it was down for maintenance for a bit. Saw an Eevee right near my house, walked 100 feet, grabbed it, and evolved my first Vaporeon.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    One of the big issues IMHO: (1) small dev team, (2) niche MMOG, (3) limited instancing. There is going to be rampant hacking guaranteed and limited support personnel to deal with it. EQ and VG had Sony money to deal with cheaters. That is not the case here.

    Home buying thread

    Well now is a pretty decent time to buy. Prices are pretty reasonable compared to the pre-2008 bust and mortgage rates are pretty low. I have a VA loan through Freedom Mortgage and they just lowered my fixed rate 30-year (yet again) to 3.25%. They called me, offered to lower it for free, no...

    EQ Never

    Yeah, the current gen hardware has hardly any games that are 60FPS always at standard HD. Most are either locked at 30FPS or use tricks like variable resolution to stay near 60. 4K at any decent frame rate seems like a pipe dream TBH ...

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    Also, don't turn down "contract" work. Contract-to-hire is fairly common in the tech field. There are a number of people who can talk a good game in interviews, but are either lazy or inept when it comes to actually doing things. We rarely lay off anyone but we just fired a guy just like that...

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    Hmm, what city you in? If you have a CS degree in any decent sized city it is very easy to get a job. If you don't mind relocating it is even easier. I have a CS graduate degree and have never updated my LinkedIn because I don't have to. Recruiters from Google, MS, Boeing, Amazon, Infinity...

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    You are doing good man, don't get discouraged. Keep it up. But, do you mind if I ask how much the "Dog ER visit" was? This recently came up in my family. My cousin's dog got cancer and my mom disclosed that he drained his most of his retirement account, allegedly "over $16,000" (dude is in...

    The Metal Thread

    Saw them live with Voivod. Amazing show. Vektor pulls off everything nearly note-for-note compared to the album. Just as good, if not better live. Voivod played a lot of their classic tracks and their newer tracks are way heavier live.

    E3 2016

    The weapon feel and movement in Titanfall were better than any other console FPS in history IMHO. Majority of console FPS: 30 FPS so they pretty much automatically lose in the weapon feel / movement department.COD franchise: always had 60 FPS but maybe its just me, but the guns in the latest...

    Grim Dawn

    On Ultimate now and soon to finish the game as Blademaster (Soldier/Nightblade). All characters should pretty much breeze through Normal. After that, Elite adds a decent amount of difficultly. But holy shit Ultimate is pretty pretty damn tough. You need to stack resists hardcore (it uses the...

    Forgot about that vid. The most remarkable thing was the guy had bigger tits than her. Emma is back btw. Now she stands on a platform next to a mannequin of herself. Very compelling: Life After Mattress Girl: Emma Sulkowicz Reclaims Her Identity | KCET

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    ^ How is it fraud when the Insurance company's inspector has to verify? It's a lot cheaper for the insurance company to put shingles on a house than fix water damage.

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    One thing about roofs - you can get it done with insurance, at least in Florida. Basically: - roof company inspector comes out - he finds wind damage - correlates to when a storm hit - clears with insurance inspector - insurance pays for roof My roof was a $12,000 job but I got it for...

    Clash Royale

    Got a couple accounts and just doing F2P with some Clash of Clans buddies. This is the biggest P2W scam ever, but can be fun just doing F2P. Biggest advice: - Similar to CoC, your "optimal farm zone" is the lowest end, of the highest arena, where you can reliably log on, win 4 games, and...

    DOOM

    Do you mean the Titans or the Pilots in Titanfall? Because Titanfall pilots have better mobility/controls/weapon feel than COD, Halo, Battlefield, or any other current shooter. Hell, the Titans controlled more fluidly than Halo characters. Halo characters are like driving a tank ...

    Grim Dawn

    Ok ... KickStarted this but after long backlog finally got around to playing. About 20 hours in on a Blademaster (Soldier/Nightblade). + awesome Diablo clone + for those who played it back in the day, it is very much like Titan Quest, but better + extremely deep skills, class, item, stats...

    Wasteland 2

    Welp, took me 78 hours according to Steam to finish the Director's Cut. I'm definitely no completion-ist and there was one aborted party about ~10 hours in. A lot of flaws, especially UI related, but still great game.

    Univ. of California to be First College to Give Scholarships For Video Game Players

    Hmm so it's pretty much like regular sports scholarships. You get a free ride for playing on the team. Although, given the eSports practice schedules I've seen (like 8+ hours a day) wonder if it would be feasible to do this a get a tough degree like engineering, CS, physics, etc.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    That's one of theories about why Counter-Strike killed off every other FPS player base circa 2003-ish. In CS, you died in during a round and you then had plenty of time to shoot the shit with other players while spectating. Whereas, every other UT/Quake style shooter were frantic...

    EQ Never

    I never followed EQN except checking this thread once in a while. What exactly was the point of the Minecraft element and EQ? Seems like it would inevitably play out two ways: (1) you would just visit Freeport and it would be a giant crater or (2) giant dongs everywhere. EQ3 isn't hard: 1...

    Gods of Egypt (2016)

    Saw this as well. Went to see The Witch but the gf messsed up reading the movie times so we saw this instead. It has similar Tomato Meter to the Clash of The Titans remake but is a LOT better. I'd call it: Clash of the Titans + Prince of Persia + Tomb Raider It's not great, but has some...
