I love raiding and specifically tanking raids but I was forced quit raiding when I started chemotherapy. Some days I am too wiped out to make it to a raid night and the last thing any decent raid guild would want is a tank that cannot be there consistently.
Not including the Apple ][ and Commodore Amigas I owned prior to buying a used PS/2 Model 30 in 1989 my first video card was an IBM 8514/A. The first PC I built was an AMD 386DX40 which I installed an ISA 512K ATI Wonder XL that I bought along with a Sound Blaster Pro 2 from the Base Exchange at...
At the price I couldn't resist Doom. I also picked up Grim Fandango Remastered and the Star Wars: X-Wing bundle for retro kicks, for my son I picked up Rocksmith 2014 to give him something to help him with his guitar practice. I can pick up picked up a few more games and still have reduced my...
Thanks for the recommendations. In the end I ended up talking to a CS teacher at a local community college where I tutor math on occasion and brought the subject up with him. He suggested grabbing a selection of books from the library and finding one that caught her interest and then throw in...
My 10 year old daughter has expressed an interest in learning programming. Having not done any programming since learning C in 1990, I am looking for suggestions for a good programming language for someone with no prior programming experience.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
While the underside of the board does not matter from a looks perspective. On surfaces like the bottom end of a pcb with all those component legs sticking out, electrical tape has a tendency to come loose unless secured by another method. The varnish or nail polish also stop the run from being...
If you have any insulating varnish around that would be the preferred method. I have used clear nail polish for some electronics repairs in a pinch, but I have no clue about it long term viability.
My GTX 680 has had a good life as the graphics card for my main rig, but this weekend it will be time to replace it with a pair of STRIX 970's and move the 680 to the wife's machine.
I have enjoyed playing the beta. Leveling does not seem as grindy as past expansions. I went from 90 to 100 in about 12 hours of questing with a few zones left to go, getting experience from dungeons seemed a quite a bit slower though. I have dabbled with garrisons a bit and you can collect a...
I am going with an Asus board, most likely the Deluxe and a 5930K once a few more RAM options are available. I would go with the 5960X, but I can't justify the extra cost.
My pics to buy on or around launch would;
Civilization Beyond Earth
FIFA 15
WOW: Warlords of Draenor
The rest I can wait until they are on sale somewhere.
If the mini-map is out of the way I do not mind it. WoW's default placement and size happens to work for me. I would find in-game radars highly annoying unless I was doing something like a piloting a fighter.
I played it for about 30 minutes and was bored out of mind, if people are having a good time playing it more power to them. As someone who has been playing WoW for years, I have no room to talk when it comes making claims about wasting time.
I had never thought of using it as a means to demo a game, but it does make a lot of sense even if I mostly buy games during Steam sales.
I mostly use it a learning tool for WoW raiding. Seeing how they handle certain situations has allowed me to help my raid groups avoid more than a few wipes...
Since a specific controller isn't listed in the specs for the SSD I don't see an issue here as long there isn't a performance hit. If PNY was using the SMI controller as a selling point I would take issue with it.
I picked up a Black Widow Ultimate using a birthday gift card last month and have been putting it through it paces. Overall, it is not a bad keyboard. Not worth the price and not as good as my Corsair K70, but still a pretty solid keyboard thus far.
I picked up one of these this weekend and have been quite impressed with it. I am not experiencing the noise issue that you guys experienced, but I am still seeing what this card is fully capable of.
What faction? There are tricks you can do to solo it if needed, but on my Horde server I see a few people in trade advertising World Bosses runs and looking for people. I also see groups in Open Raid for them.
Shoot me a pm if you are Horde and I will see about getting us into a group sometime.
I think the main issue is timing, releasing this spring would have created a buggy mess worst than a normal launch which leads a mass exodus of pissed of players, launch when people begin summer vacation and when the launch is slow you will have more people claiming the death of WoW and some...
I have been experimenting with a Prot Warrior ilvl510 right now and have found it to be fun. All the utility abilities that Warriors have can be a bit daunting at times, but like anything with practice it will become easier. I would have to say that Prot Warrior are more similar to Paladins than...
Personally, I think it is more of an issue of you choosing to force smaller tubing over a larger fitting as opposed to using a proper method of securing the tubing to the fitting. You took a chance, it didnt work out, and now you want to blame the tubing.
