Last time I talked to one of the Vanguard senior game designers he was getting ready for E3 and didn't have much time to chat. However, he didn't really say what sort of presence they'd have there this year either. FWIW.

That's hilarious btw Ragorn about the IGE thing heh.

... they (Australia) celebrate Easter the exact same way we do: commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night.

Naw, if you slack on the descriptions you get a ton of bishing about that as well.

My ameriprise advisor is my boss's wife and I've never had a problem or felt that I've been treated unfairly. I only have a portion of my investments in AXP funds as they don't seem to perform as well as some other funds out there so it hasn't been an issue of costing me much money. I've never felt ...

I do most of my retirement investment with Ameriprise financial. I think the main thing is to do something, anything at a young age. Yes, you want a reputable firm to work with, but you need to make an effort of your own as well. Try to sock away at least 10% of your gross income if not 20%. Max out...

I'm glad the lady who got burned by coffee won her case, because everyone knows coffee should be served at room temperature or below. Who ever heard of cofee being hot? Crazy to even think of that sort of thing.

Spend your 10k on a honda, toyota, or nissan and you'll be money ahead with very few if any worries about repairs. Plus the gas mileage will be better :) Don't buy a new car. Let someone else pay the first year's depreciation as they drive it off the lot. Cars are almost never a sound financial inve...

What Ragorn said. I'm 100% against removing the 15 person group cap for anything other than zones of Tiamat difficulty. This is the official stance of Vaprak, not the staff as a whole btw.

Other options would be to combine the automatic updates with your squid proxy server if you have one This way the updates are only downloaded one time and stored in the proxy cache, so that clients aren't using so much bandwidth to download the files.

I just show up late every day. That way when I'm late because I was up too late mudding it looks perfectly normal. It's gotten to the point that when I show up on time everyone says "Gee, you're early today."

Brilliant.

Actually, all the Seagate drives we are buying an integrating into our PCs right now have a 5 year warranty that is honored regardless of hour warranty on the system. This is true for both SCSI and SATA drives.

Each weapon procedure is different. Some procs happen only on critical hits(which is based somewhat on your racially modified strength). Some happen completely randomly. Others may be tied to your stats(str, dex, etc). Some are keyword procs (you say something to make the proc happen, usually the pr...

Actually, I doubt you can do as fancy of a paint job as Mike Lavallee. This guy does flames with an airbrush like nobody's business.

Longer battery life than previous Centrinos and more power. Yay.

You should really really consider AMD for desktops. The new opterons are amazing. I have no doubt that the CPUs themselves are cool. The problem is the the "whole package". We sell Intel CPUs on Intel motherboards that have Intel chipsets. I can't remember the last time we had to RMA a motherboard ...

Vaprak

The Pentium M CPUs stay cooler and consume less energy (direct coorelation there). So not only does it not overheat, it also lasts longer on a battery charge. This is one of the reasons that Intel is looking to include some of the technology from this mobile line of chips in its desktop systems (les...

Glass half full - I went to Tiamat, typed my butt off for 12 hours straight, and had an absolute blast!

Vaprak's personal opinion is definately for the situational damage where you have racial vulnerbilities and invulnerbilities (and ranges in between) for various types of damage. Then each spell/skill is assigned 1 or more damage types. We had this on Homeland and it did indeed serve the intended pur...

I must respectfully disagree with your assessment on enchanter buffs and warrior tanking, Vaprak. Honestly, when they rolled up warriors, did they expect to become like Sephiroth at level 50? Or do they just want to be the sole macho dominant badasses with the non-physical types being weak worthles...

Vaprak's personal opinion (note stressed personal): 1: Fumbles should be non-existant at maxed individual weapon skill (ie 1h slashing, 2h misc, etc) for all classes that can achieve at least a 75 in that particular weapon skill 2: Tone down caster area damage. 3: Virtually remove the tanking abilit...
