Remember 15 or so years ago when Nvidia touted the original GeForce cards and showed it rendering water in a realistic fashion and we all FREAKED OUT REALLY BIGLY!?
(I'm old, sue me or buy me some Geritol)
A major issue that some aren't understanding isn't just the XP scaling for cosmetic items. The Fireteam Medallions give XP boosts, and from what I can gather at the many Reddit threads, is that players spent real money for silver (D2's real money currency for the EV store) to get the 25% XP...
Was hot and excited for Destiny 2 after waiting for years (refuse to play FPS on consoles), but wife and I are already burned out on it (and upset at Bungie's shenanigans).
We picked up Dying Light: The Following on sale and though we both hate zombies/zombie themes, this is turning out to be...
Got a couple that make me feel... like I've missed out on some real life heh
Insurgency: 423 hours
Borderlands 2: 653 hours
The Division (Uplay): 790 hours (kill me!)
I can't even imagine how many hours I put into HL/HL2/TF/TF2 before everything migrated to Steam...
Hey, I'm interested in your GTX 1080 for sale. For some reason, this account shows as too new to reply or PM, but I've been a member since ~2003 on my original username (Angry_Games). For reference, I used to run the DFI-Street.com forums and was NA Support Manager for DFI during the crazy DFI...
Continued from previous post...
Okay, so are you still with me? Like I said, this isn't a simple "Amazon should do X" or "Hachette should do Y" The real world is never that simple.
Now, where were we? Right. So it's now August, and Hachette has delayed negotiating as long as possible...
Forgive me if this goes long, but it seems I'll be the only one in this thread who actually has first-hand knowledge of what is going on.
I'm a self-published author at Amazon (and iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Kobo, Smashwords, Diesel, Scribd, etc.). I received this email from KDP...
Just bought the P67 version of the Extreme4 Gen3 board with 2500k + 8GB Gskill. Works like a champ so far (not a lot of time into it), and kind of glad maybe I saved a few $'s with the P67 instead of going for the Z68.
However, as we all know, 100 different owners will have 100 different...
Wife and I just started playing WoW about 3 months ago, and we are having a great time with it. Sadness at the friends that have played it for years and are now completely bored of it though. Don't really care much about the expansion as 3 months in she has a single 85 and I'm still about 25...
meh...one day maybe I'll get some dividends from AMD. Thankfully Intel faithfully pays out my quarterly dividends and I just buy more Intel stock with it. Maybe I can retire by 50? ;)
Server: Garrosh
Angrygames - Night Elf (just hit L20 last night) - fire mage?
KrustyKrab - Tauren (this char is for playing with wife) - paladin
Interests: well...I don't know. I FINALLY caved in and started playing after all these years after my wife started earlier this summer. She loves...
yeah I know...was just hoping someone would have something they no longer needed as I don't really want to spend $80 for the old girl. Weird though I just looked at Newegg before posting and the card you linked didn't come up =/.
So I've got an old spare Dell with the 3.4Ghz P4 Extreme cpu, etc, but the vid card in it is an old Ti4200 AGP. Won't play Eve Online anymore since they no longer support SM2.0 or lower cards.
I need something that has at least SM3.0, SM4.0 would be I guess better, but not completely...
I agree, over the last year or so, I and our corp/alliance have probably brought in about 15 new players, and the only way we've retained most of them is by careful tutoring and/or hand-holding so they can learn the game (and be in a social environment) without getting overly frustrated. Without...
been playing since 2003, current characters are 2005. I agree with Thule...the CSM proposals to fix things wrong with the game was pretty much trashed by CCP.
Here's an 86 page threadnought:

players like us want the game...
our little alliance pays for anyone and everyone who wants to take these courses. The greatest thing after the things they teach you is the fact that as an alumni, you can tag along with any class that you've taken that is offered in the future for free. Sometimes there's not much going on and...
been playing Eve Online since beta in 2003. Quit off and on over the years, but keep going back to it. Best, deepest MMO I've ever played. Currently playing Eve more than any other game (though we just got a 4-pack of Borderlands during steam sale for $30).
The wife loves WoW, I got bored of...
I agree 100%. It isn't about the money, it is about hopefully increasing the quality of the comments. One only has to go to any random website that allows comments to see the ignorance posted even among the most lighthearted stories.
when I first saw this today, a small part of me felt triumph for predicting the future =/
but mostly what I feel is sadness because we did have some of the best support in the world at the time, I mean look how many other companies followed or even directly copied how we did things. And we...
Ok I'm not advocating piracy, but seriously...hasn't Microsoft (or anyone else for that matter) realized yet that the instant they 'fix' the piracy bit, pirates will simply 'fix' their fix and be right back to being....well, in the lead?
The RIAA, MPAA, Blu-Ray, MS, Apple, DVD CSS, it...
Dell is closing their tech call center in Twin Falls, Idaho, where I grew up (and live 2 hours from in Boise now). Laying off over 500 people, the 3rd largest employer in the city. Many of my friends and customers have put in 7 years of their lives working for Dell, making a wage that was a...
not really. Volume is the New Testament in retail these days. My worry is like a few others have mentioned, that their great customer service will be the first to show negative effects of this. Then again, it isn't like Newegg is looking to raise $500,000,000.00. You'd get massive investment...
hah! hell really did freeze over!
Imagine Rgone and I being top-tier support for DFI and getting about...20 of these emails a day to go along with about 20 forum posts at DFI-Street with the same theme: DOA
I finally got to the point of having customers in USA/CDN send me their boards and...
I don't find it unethical at all. If a company drops a press release with some claims that can be (not necessarily are, but can be with proper testing) verified, then the company making the claims needs to come out and allow the testing to be done independently.
PR almost always writes checks...
well, I just installed NHL 08 on the PC myself. The first thing to make me angry is typical EA nonsense of not having widescreen resolutions. I have a 1440x900 monitor (19 wide LCD) and only options I get are 1024x768 and 800x600 (or 1280x1024 but my monitor of course won't do this).
Second...
well
I just received one of these today
I didn't even know we were making one (because apparently it was not going to be sold in N America, but now it is so they made sure I received one).
I didn't even know what it was lol
but after opening the box and then remembering a few emails...
