Yeah, Hot Heart, if you're not able to pull of some headshots with the sniper rifle the Assassin might not be for you. It's what I'm playing at the moment, and it looks like he'd be really terrible if you can't headshot enemies, as his critical hit buffs are first to unlock and are really powerful. I'd say go with the Commando, but I've always found that class to be really really boring. Gunzerker looks like a lot of fun, though.

I'm thinking I just have bad luck with this type of thing. The PCI card seemed to be a pretty obscure error, and I have a feeling the Cisco was just a dud. Either way, works now.

A little while back I posted that I picked up a PCI wireless card, and since then I've had a bit of fun discovering the horrors of wifi first hand. First off, that PCI card doesn't play nice with Sandy Bridge audio for some reason and would randomly distort and warp audio at relatively random times, with increasing frequency, until it started doing it all the time. So I went to Best Buy and bought a little USB card instead. It worked well for about 20 minutes, then it started overheating and dropping its connection, which is really no good for even light web browsing, much less gaming. So I returned that one, and bought a Netgear one instead. Luckily it still works, doesn't drop connection, and I still get okay ping, but goddamn, I really really hate wifi.

Yeah, steak sauce here is A1 and the like, whereas BBQ sauce is, like gerbil said, much more sweet usually. I believe BBQ sauce has a ketchup/tomato base as well, and steak sauce has a vinegar base.

We don't season our bacon because more often than not bacon is used as a seasoning, on top of burgers, salads, eggs, potatoes, whatever.

These and cheap greek yogurt is the best part of living walking distance from a Trader Joe's.

This was not a wise purchase. It cost less than a fast food meal though, so I can't be too upset about it. IMO the only Hitman game that still holds up today is Blood Money and even that is a bit janky now.

I believe this has now become the "ghost thread".

Yeah, I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. They improved the combat, and those cutscenes were actually pretty gorgeous, but it was short in the story department, something I'm not used to with Remedy games.

Honestly, it's not what I was expecting. I'm not an Apple fan, really, but I actually expected a bit more out of them for the 5 than just a bigger screen and another iOS update. I'll be in the market for a new phone in the next couple months and while I was previously considering whatever the 5 turned out to be, I'm not so sure anymore. This doesn't seems notably better than the 4, which isn't notably better than any Android alternatives.

A researcher has filed a patent for a shit cannon. Apple is said to be threatening a suit.

No, they are genuinely big. I had a go on Armored Shield, Albors Mountain, and Death Valley and they're all gigantic, Albors in particular. Based on the in game distance things you see below capture points, it was about 1400 units from one spawn to the furthest capture point, far more than the 600 or so on Firestorm. Honestly, the only map I haven't liked is Death Valley, mostly because it's a straight line of capture points like Oasis from Bad Company 2. I think that's lazy map design, but whatever. The others are great.

I am downloading now, should be hopping in later today if anyone wants to play. Unfortunately, when I moved my internet and ping sort of got really inconsistent, though, so I've actually been entertaining myself more with ARMA 2 again just because you don't need ping below 100 to really play well. Fingers crossed my housemates quit their torrenting ways for a couple hours today though so I can get some smooth gameplay.

Soooo, I got in. I know Duke, Six, and Vecha are in as well, and figured maybe we should start some sort of informal outfit/characters so we can all squad up sometime. Since at the moment there's no real good way to do that, I've got a couple ideas. 1) We all pick a server somewhat central to our locations, make character for the race we want, and tag them all with PXOD or something at the beginning. At the moment it looks like we can have quite a few characters, and I'm personally totally okay with re-ranking one of mine seeing as SOE have said they can and might reset XP at any time anyway. 2) Well, I don't really have a second idea, but perhaps a similar idea to the first except waiting until more people have the game and Outfits have been officially added in like they were in PS1.

Yeah, I think the only character that I got to a remotely high level in Borderlands 1 PC was Mordecai, and that was just because he was the character I cooped with my friend on his xbox. I had/have something like 6 characters all below level 20 I think just from starting to play with friends and then abandoning them.

Episode 3 is has been by far the best, IMO.

To me, it sounds like your idea of a pub over there is what we call a brewery, but I'm assuming you guys have those over there as well.

I have a copy of Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2 from an Amazon order a little while back that I'm willing to give to whoever wants them. They both should activate on Steam.

Cyber looks like TotalBiscuit. His true identity revealed!
