    Asking for a Raise

    Offer to have a meeting to discuss your role in the company and how you're excited to have a much larger role. Bring up your pay because it's a legitimate issue. ALSO, most importantly in my mind, tell him you'd like to have a meeting like this one every year so both you and your boss can be...

    The 80s kid thread

    THE GOBOTS INTRO - YouTube This thread goes nowhere without mentioning GOBOTS. Maybe all of you 80's kids were rich and could afford transformers, but GoBots were the working class toy of all time.

    Worf vs. Khal Drogo

    wasn't worf also the lawyer defending Kirk and Bones in the Undiscovered Country? I'm guessing in his prime he beats Drogo since he's like 150 in TNG.

    Dedicated MP3 player for Stereo System

    If it's networked with the PC, isn't there a PC application that you use on the PC that directs the output of the receiver though? It's an assumption I'm making on the receiver route so if I'm wrong please correct me.

    Found this today: Amazon.com: Onkyo TX-NR828 7.2-Channel Wireless Network A/V Receiver: Electronics I'm sure there are other modern receivers that do the same thing. Just have to pick one now.

    Dedicated MP3 player for Stereo System

    1. I love the idea of the wireless, except that every review I'm reading leads me to believe that the wireless connection is tenuous at best and will not be ideal music quality from my PC. 2. A new receiver may be something I look at if the price is low enough, but you're right about being...

    Dedicated MP3 player for Stereo System

    Only other option I'm thinking of is moving the receiver into my home office and buying a higher end PC sound card with the correct outputs. i.e.HT a built-in HI-FI Headphone Amplifier - Newegg.com Only problem with that is that I want to be playing my PC games at the same time my wife...

    Dedicated MP3 player for Stereo System

    Negative. The TV and the uber 7.1 system is all downstairs where movie theatres should be. This is merely an upstairs receiver and stereo speakers for listening to music that was previously used with the 300 changer. No TV on that floor at all. Computer is 45 feet away in another home office...

    Dedicated MP3 player for Stereo System

    Ok, so I have a 300 CD changer that just died on me in a bad way, so I decided it was time to join this century and buy a dedicated player where I can upload to an onboard hard drive, and it would play all the music I desire. I've had a really hard time finding any product that isn't $3,000...

    Endless Legend

    I bought into the early alpha access and have put in about 30 hours. Right now the art of what is implemented is there and it looks impressive. Learning the game and each race you should feel pretty good and it definitely has more to do than AoW3 even at this early stage. However, once you...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    Morons in the thread just don't understand that there are skill difficulties to the game that require you to rethink the way you play after each setting. If you think the highest difficulty setting is still too easy you can stop playing games altogether.

    Mob HP goes up pretty significantly from HoT to VoA, but it's nothing that a wizard merc can't handle. Necros, when it was current content, preferred the City of Bronze for their kiting fun. Mob density isn't an issue, but it's a T4 zone so mobs will die a little slower, but exp should be...

    How can you mention the ring and aug and NOT mention the Ancient Cloak of Flames from the revamped Naggy lair? It's T4 raid quality, droppable, with a 17% overhaste clicky, which is better than any raid gear currently.

    If you think Everquest, just because the game is older, requires less work to get re-oriented, you're making the worst gaming assumption of your life. Perhaps next time you should start in CR and follow the hero's journey in the achievement section.

    Ok i'll try to be fair to the players on test. There are progression servers on test that thrive doing older content. It's a self imposed ruleset that works for them and there is a TON to do, and it will never cost you a dime or 20 hours a week to maintain. If you want a lvl 100 player on...

    Because perhaps the only worthwhile thing to do in EQ is raid, and there are no raiding guilds on Test that measure up.

    You're just a crybaby if you think the hotzones are bad. They not only provide a variety of zones that many would otherwise never see, but the highest levels provide instance flipping swarming for those rangers/SKs so valley/grounds doesn't become a stupid camp of high levels looking to PL...

    If you're leveling in a group or solo, you will always find alternatives to using a warrior. However, by the time he becomes viable (4k+ AA and lvl 100 with gear to match) you can finally take the next step and farm all current content named, missions, etc. But thats the difference. You'll...

    Nothing wrong with a Bard and/or a tank class. Tank classes require a lot of work to see the best results. If no tank class, a mage would be appropriate.
