Errr.... thickens? :lol: Found this article quite by accident: Developers claim they can’t work with cheap, inadequate Wii U hardware - Geek.com Looks like another case of corpratethink dissing the intelligence of their fanbase and overestimating what they will put up with. All I can say is that has...

The entire Game Industry has suffered a De-Evolution of Intelligence. :rofl: :lol: :rofl: I :love: this comment. But really something else is happening here. And not just to Squenix. Today's games have a number of components. Plotting, puzzles, graphics, and fanservice to name but four. There are m...

Only on Wii/wiiU - nevermind.

I see that failing miserably.

Much of Japanese Dragonquest fandom seems to have that EXACT same reaction.

Despite having mod and admin rights here I can't figure out how to move a topic.

So much for abusing superpowers....

It isn't for the PC, but we don't have a Wii section under gaming.

I hate the 360 controller, I would rather use a mouse/keyboard. Granted it is better then the original xbox controller, but still terrible.... OK, I admit, I have never owned a platform game, not played a platform game in my LIFE. But I have often heard that the 360 controller is the best controlle...

I STILL<3 my Kirby. Which has a blower attachment.

But darn that looks cute.

I do that. I put the machine on its side while I blow it out so I can see and blow into the (normally downward facing) fan itself. I had the card out and in my hand but couldn't see the dirt logged in the heat sink fins till I had the fan off. The aftermarket cooler has no shroud covering its fan, s...

Congrrrats!!!

But what are we going to do without your Anime reports?

I got my Duelist's Tabard -1, which will make me 5/5 AF2 +1!!! :D RDM hat dropped, and 3 THF hands. The THF hands all went free lot!!! :lol: :rofl: :lol: And enough assorted -1s on the lower floors that people started asking where the -1 bodies were hiding. Got the win there last week, I have been w...

It WORKED!!! :D Before: soloing event balloons on Eva, CPU 98% temp 96 - 100C. Heat death before finish. After: CPU 98% temp 66C. Balloon died before my machine did. Still can't manage to solo one, but I didn't die from overheating!! Dust bunnies the size of Cerberus lodged in the fins of the stock ...

You haven't been playing XI lately have you Tivia? Because XI was put on the same lousy payment plans as XIV, the only difference being we don't have to use them in XIV, but in XI.... Does the term shitstorm ring a bell? Because that is what developed when they proposed the new payment options. Opti...

You've Spoken and We've Heard You You, the community, have clearly expressed your dissatisfaction with our billing system transition—and we are listening. We now understand that the options we presented you did not meet the level of service you have come to expect from Square Enix, so we have been ...

Thanks for the interesting info. I was well aware that card numbers are far from linear when linked to performance. But you provided some amusing actual cases. My problem is cash. And the case / power supply / motherboard planed obsolesce linkage. So my first try at squeaking another year out of thi...

That just could get me into a handheld.....

Synthetic benchmark results have long been proven worthless, which is why tom's comparison sheet is likewise worthless. I thought they used real games to benchmark.... :?: Now if heat is your only complaint about your video cards performance...go buy an after market cooler. Or better yet, go ahead ...

.... Toms hardware while entertaining to read hasn't had accurate information concerning GPU's in years. It isn't hard to outperform a 9800...not hard at all..... No it isn't. But Tom's GPU comparison sheet, and their tests, are all on throughput, measured by benchmarking, with no points given for ...

I can to easily die of heat death in FFXIV. Don't dare play a key part dungeon running due to it. Waving at bombs ran my GPU well over 90C and 90%. After I vacuumed the machine out. Before it was 98C, 99%. :rofl: But I still had heat death after I vacumed. Processor; AMD x2 4400+, I'm pretty sure a ...

The absolute best copy protection scheme I heard of was back in the DOS days. Dongle era. I forget the game but it came with some neat toy that sat on your (crt) monitor. It was neat enough that people would buy the game just for the toy. And I guess the game, although quite playable, wasn't as exci...

"People are strange"

- Jim Morison.

How about looking for a job in the AE field that will pay you to further your education? As the proud daughter of a Marine have you looked into opportunities in the military? I could suggest taking a year off from school and studying for the GRE while cooking and thinking about a master's. Also, is ...

Mules are worth it for the storage if nothing else. I couldn't operate without mine. That is great luck for one character's marbles, congrats! With all my mules I have gotten one 3rd and 3 - 4 4ths before this bonanza. And the 4ths were not good for much then. I don't gamble IRL. I have friends who ...

I always use all my characters and mules for the marbles and pick the last digit making sure each one will get a 5th prize*. Then again, I like a lot of the little gambling games in XI. (A bit disappointed at the economy's nerfing of the Strange Apparatus.) When I had a second account I think I had ...

Doesn't look demonic to me.

Have to go with kawaii.

Getting 5ths is easy. And with 8 sets of marbles getting one 4th isn't a real trick. 4 4ths is like 50% on 8 1/100 chances. My game theory is way too rusty to determine if that is more or less probable than a first. Easier to figure out who gets what by far though. Spellcast required the windower la...

Overdue update: Scored 4 4th level prizes in the Mog Bonanza! I got a Merciful Cape and an Altruistic Cape which together is +5 skill to anything a mage might do with magic. Downside... a full rewrite of my macros to a totally new scheme incorporating much page swapping. As one of the 4ths was on th...

Congrats!! Can't much help with Orlando, the last time I knew central FL at all well was ... before Disney. :oops: I would remind you about the old real estate saying. "Only three things matter, location, location, and location." IMHO, for a parent the only location that maters AT ALL is t...

For cost of living, CA is right out. ALL of it. High housing prices, high energy prices, and a dysfunctional state government that will lead to poor schools and, eventually, higher taxes. Marin (sp?) county (just across the SF bay bridge to the north of SF) is probably the best option in N CA, but i...

Sony CEO asked to step down on heels of hacking fiasco - MSNBC

TLDR: He didn't step down but his salary and bonuses have been cut 16 percent to 345 million yen ($4.27 million) for the fiscal year that ended March 30 – down from 410 million yen the year before.

Hi, I'm pretty old here (and IRL as well).

If you have any questions about FFXI or XIV many of us can help.

If you are active in either game, please tell us which one, server, and in game name. One or more of us might be on the same server.
