    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    It will be interesting to see how much adoption Anet's new "trinity-less" concept receives. I know a couple of my friends will be greatly disappointed they can't play all-powerful healing badasses. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action, for better or wose.

    Micro-transactions, what is the big deal?

    As someone who works a 9-5 day job and does freelance stuff in the evenings, I understand not having 4-6 hours a night to dump into a game, but I'm still in the camp of "No pay to win". In any game where there is competition (PvP) having someone able to buy awesome gear devalues the...

    Path of Exile - beta key?

    Tried the second one that TED posted and it looks like it's been consumed, so if anyone has a spare they could shoot my way that would be great!

    Newbie question: Designing a website.

    Do you want to put together a website with HTML and CSS or Design one? Design is a form of communication that requires a lot of knowledge of the core principles: line, shape, color theory, balance, unity, gestalt, dominance, etc. It's not about making pretty pictures like some of the other...

    Battlelog is amazing.

    I don't see why they can't have both and in-game server browser and Battlelog. Battlelog itself is fine, but having to load the game client each time I log into a server and THEN loading the map makes it far less efficient than an in-game browser. If there is an in-game browser then you only...

    Diablo 3: Gamer Decisions In Actuality

    Thanks, that post described the system (and, more importantly, the reasoning behind it) far better than the IGN article. Good read.

    Diablo 3: Gamer Decisions In Actuality

    http://pc.ign.com/articles/118/1185753p1.html You no longer do anything besides pick from the same skills as everyone else. That's not customization.

    Diablo 3: Gamer Decisions In Actuality

    To each their own, I guess... It's just depressing seeing the things that made D2 great (to me) being removed.

    Diablo 3: Gamer Decisions In Actuality

    It also leaves NOTHING to differentiate characters. Diablo II for me was all about building a cool character. So, without attributes or skills to customize, what's left? Name and Items. Cool.

    PC games piracy survey

    Same here. Steam sales, Spotify and Netflix cure most of my woes, and everything else I get on sale, get good deals on, or convince work to pay for.

    Where exactly does the @font-face code go?

    I typically place it at the top of my style sheets, but I don't think it really matters too much. If the code is verbatim from fontsquirrel that should be fine (disregard Sgraffite's comments), just make sure the paths to the font files are relative to the style sheet you'll be placing them...

    Advice on HTPC build

    Wow, I had completely forgotten AMD... didn't realize how much cheaper they were. I don't think I'll need a TV tuner card. I haven't felt the need to spend the extra cash for TV through FIOS when most of what I watch can be streamed through netflix or hulu. If only they made an NHL/NFL/MLB...

    Advice on HTPC build

    I'm in the market for an HTPC. I have a 46" 1080p TV that I'll be running to the video to via HDMI. I'd like to keep the price down where possible, but I want to get something that ought to last a while. Anything in the sub $600ish range should be fine, but that's flexible. I absolutely...

    HTML div centering

    for left-right centering (for future purposes) you can get by with setting your left and right margins to auto. As long as the element has a fixed width that should be fine.
