Re: [Multi-Plat] Has SE finally hit rock bottom?

Well maybe in the near future, aside from indie games, most games will be online activation and online content only. You install a client and download everything else. So no more SW Force Unleashed I, II.. and so on. Just SW Force Unleashed... with periodic 'dlcs' that we pay for in u-transactions. ...

Re: PlayStation 3’s internal security overthrown

Re: PlayStation 3’s internal security overthrown

Dunno, if it would do much good. The fine print and EULAs covered them well. Mind you, I would PAY for them to put back the Emotion engine as well as 'Other OS' support. I know they took them out to save money, but they can just put them back in and charge more to compensate and people will buy it. ...

They had to do something, if only for show.

When I was deliberately trying to get the 'low grade' ores, I would equip the +gathering instead of the +rare abilities.

Re: What do you run XIV on?

Like my 650watt... which didn't support PCI-E power supplies nor the new format pinout on motherboard power inputs.

Less than 6 months old, but had to be replaced. Of course... not long after that, you needed 8pin PCI-E plugs... then you needed TWO of them instead of just one.

Re: FFXIV Keyboard vs Controller

No, it's normal. "Normal" that is, basically the communication between the game and controller is far more frequent and hence responsive. Didn't you use a controller in FFXI? In many ways, going from keyboard to controller to keyboard in FF online is like going from mouse to joystick in a ...

I'm betting it's the # of connections and not bandwidth at issue. Use uTorrent, then throttle it down, not in terms of bandwidth but in the # of connections. Your existing p2p program is probably capable of doing this. Set it to just one torrent active, one leech and seed connection per torrent, i.e...

Things to do when FF14 is on PMS

I play Recettear. Where you run an item shop stocked with items you make from materials you get fighting mobs you fight in dungeons and what-not. FF14 in other words.

*Preemptive Maintenance Schedule or Pretty Mithra Show.
