    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The squish likely will be noticeable, particularly in ST/WoD. From what they were saying, the squish is basically flattening the .X ilvl growth. Whereas now you hit, what, ilvl 50 at the end of 2.0, 120 at the end of 2.5? Afterwards all 50 content will be scaled to ilvl 50, and 51+ content will...

    Yup, but the 180 are one-time-only. You don't have to repeat that part if you want to make multiple weapons (much like the 18x memories from SB fates last time around). If you're doing the Zadnor content anyway it's not bad, I got 1/3rd-1/2 of the Skirmish drops just from ranking up to 25. The...

    The latest step also has alternatives. You can do the 30/30/30/30/30/30 from Skirmishes/CEs inside Zadnor, and you can get the 15 Raw Emotions from HoH/Dalriada/Delubrum or any synced 70 dungeons.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not that big a deal anymore really - Professions are now expansion-specific (1-300 Vanilla Alchemy, 1-75 Burning Crusade Alchemy, 1-100 Legion Alchemy, etc), so regardless everyone will be starting at skill level 1 for BFA. The only exceptions are First Aid, which was removed altogether, and...

    The Protomen - The Cover Up

    A couple weeks back, The Protomen (mostly known for theirpartiallycompletedMega Man-inspired rock opera or their killerQueen cover album) released this cover album of 70's and 80's jams, and I've been absolutely enthralled with it. It's mostly faithful to the originals (with the exception of a...

    Speaking of classic Mega Man musical goodness,The Megasjust released History Repeating: Red, which is the 2nd half of their MM3-themed double album. Worth a look, I fucking love these guys.

    Best Covers

    I recently rediscovered The Protomen (Rather dark, Mega Man-inspired concept albums? Sure, I'm down.), and was very pleased to see that they'd released a recording of one of their Queen tribute shows. I was even more pleased when I actually started listening to it. I also ran across this...

    ReRolled Minecraft Server IV

    I usually go for the big, opulent bases, but I've not played a heavily modded MC on a server where I actually have a reason to care about how out of hand my stuff gets (typically I play on a private server with just me and a couple friends). With that in mind, I decided to go for something a bit...

    The cobalt head would indeed be faster - it looks like for the hammers the mining speed is determined by the head and not by the plates. Also, regarding the auto-repair: it is painfully slow (though slightly faster in sunlight). When I was dicking around in singleplayer I tossed the TE...

    You may be having the same issue I was - launcher loads, game loads, and then it poops itself during the Mojang splash screen and dumps back to desktop. I spent about an hour chasing this down last night, from reinstalling FTB to reinstalling Java and beyond, and then I finally made some headway...

    The port of V also had the online requirement (at least the Android version did). I only noticed it once as I was riding along on a short road trip, so it didn't really bother me that much.

    I've not played Bravely Default yet, but the iOS/Android port of FFV was fantastic. It is, of course, a port from an era gone by, but it's complete in terms of the extra content that's been added to game in its various re-releases. I was absolutely hooked again when I started playing through it...

    I didn't see one - searched real quick when I got the last update a few minutes ago. If anyone's not looked at this yet, go do so, right fucking now. They've also brought the character artist from FFTactics on board. There's a slight glimmer of hope with this one.

    XI was far and away designed as a PS2 game as well, for what it's worth. And 12 was fantastic. I've still not gotten around to going back and playing IZJS, but I fucking loved the original game. I no-lifed it for a good couple weeks after it came out - played it every free moment I had until...

    Been a while since I've even looked at watermills... I've never used them, but from what I recall they were quite finicky. Looking at theFTB Wiki, they seem hardly worth the effort. The alternative being that you could use it in manual mode by putting a bucket of water in the bottom slot (for 1...

    Overused phrases that you use

    "Jesus tapdancing/tittyfucking Christ" "Fuck it, dude. Let's go bowling." "Sweating like a whore in church" And a couple intentional almost Ricky-isms that very few people pick up on (generally indicating how fucking absurd the subject is): "Half of one, a dozen of the other" "State of...

    If it's just a top-down view you're looking for, installRei's Minimap. It's a completely client-side mod (except for checking slime chunks), and should suffice if that's all you need (not to mention the other handy features).

    Exactly, hence why most of it is unfinished. Basically, I started out with a base in the overworld which was rigged up entirely different, and once I got bored with it I started tinkering around with the village. Eventually I got bored with working on that, and came to a decent stopping point...

    I've not seen Wrath of the Titans (I know - I'm ashamed) so I'm not 100% certain what you're going for, but with the Command Blocks you could basically have various maze segments and teleport players between them. With some redstone foolery you could randomize it to some extent, or have...

    I think Cam may have misinterpreted your question a bit there. Thaumcraft doesn't have an "item conversion" system beyond the handful of metal transmutations and a cauldron recipe for gunpowder. Having said that, EE3 does still allow you to do this, it's just a bit more involved than it was with...

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    Arkk I swiped from an old EQ buddy who had made a throw-away toon to make some corpse-art with, ended up being a name I stuck with using. My EQ Pally, Xarious Drumheller, was at least a bit more involved. Xarious was something I came up with after mashing the random name button for an hour or...

    What? I'd argue that crystals and moogles were more than token references, but even beyond that, there's a whole heap of things. The vast majority of shit in that game was a reference to an earlier game - items, bosses, locations, jobs. I'd also argue that there's a change to a more linear...

    Sadly, this. It saddens me to no end to see the wasted potential of what Minecraft could have been. That's not to say it isn't good or that I feel cheated out of my money - god knows I've happily sank weeks of my life into this game I'll never get back - but it's still somewhat disheartening to...

    As far as I'm aware you'd lack the ability to set up a completely automated obsidian farm short of installing tech mods (unless you guys are using some fancy server mods I'm unaware of).

    Chunk size is 16x16x256. The World Anchor (from Railcraft) loads a 3x3 chunk area, centered on the loader. Chunk Loaders from ChickenChunks are generally better, as they also load a 3x3 area by default, but you can increase the radius of the loader via the right-click GUI (no idea what the...
