    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Honestly, I think its just because I was over reliant on my old social circle to meet women, and now being in a new town with few friends and not having that crutch, along with the fact that I'm not interacting with college chicks anymore, has left me pretty clueless. The fact that I work the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm mostly bitter because I went for the self improvement route and it improved my life in every area except getting women. Over the past 5 years, I nearly tripled my income, bought a house, and put $100k in the bank, and lost like 50 pounds. Yet my ability to attract women seems to be less than...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That set bonus was like a 15% DPS increase, would probably have never been replaced even in 6.1, and requires absolutely stupid actions to take advantage of in PvE, namely macroing roll into jump so you can trigger the bonus without actually moving much.

    The problem with the legend is that Delve is parasitic. You used your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise, you don't have one anymore to cast this.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    When the meat patty on my burger is off center and not aligned with the two buns, and since the melted cheese has fused the meat and bun together, I can't fix it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The main problem with Mistweaver is that Multistrike is by far your best stat and Mastery is near-worthless. Guess which stat is on basically every HM leather piece and which stat is on basically none of them. Going from HM gear to BRF gear is like a 50% HPS increase due to better itemization alone.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Templar is the best spec in the game, by far. 1. Spell Purge is an AoE eldritch detonator, and is absurdly powerful because it's considered a Mage ability. Eldritch detonators do a flat 500% weapon damage when detonating a Warrior or Rogue ability, and Warrior weapon damage is triple that of...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I would avoid 2H warrior because the combo detonators are bugged and don't work. Only discharge (mighty blow or whirlwind a paralyzed target) actually works, the rest do no damage at all. The sword/shield combo detonators work fine.

    My Monk puts up 600k Guards at full resolve, how much do DK tanks heal themselves for? Monks in HM Mythic gear also have 60% Stagger and Serenity provides enough Chi for you to purify every single melee hit if you want, making it a full 60% damage reduction. Then on top of that there's a the 45%...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Best or second best behind Warriors, if played well. Quite a bit harder than the other tanks. Would be best, but all HM leather has haste on it which is a useless stat for BrM.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Monk is still good, note that maxing out monk DPS requires 2 PC PvP gear and a jump + roll macro to trigger the bonus without actually moving. You can't skip it, it's like a 20% DPS increase and you'll never replace the gear, not even in BRF.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Note that the standard whirlwind drag spot the majority of guilds use for heroic mode (right by the entrance) is a very bad spot to use on Mythic, that area will be covered in fire when Phemos starts to whirlwind, and as the tank you will be rooted in place and killed with no ability to dodge it...

    I'm curious as to how they pulled this off as you can only server transfer with 50k gold, and that's not enough to win mythic items off the BMAH.

    Collections question

    Blizzard didn't send me to collections. I didn't pay the credit card bill since I didn't know I had accidentally picked the card that had been sitting idle for years. The credit card company closed my account after it was delinquent for a full month and reported it out as late. Wow got shut off...

    Butcher hits both tanks with his melee attack and his cleave ability also hits both tanks. The only thing he does that only hits one tank is Tenderizer and both tanks have to get hit by that equally.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Does anyone know if Recount tracks tank damage accurately? Just killed Heroic Butcher and I (Monk) managed to come in below two of the DPS in damage taken, at 8.1%. My Warrior co-tank was at a whopping 20.2%, and he's only 4 ilvls below me in gear. That kind of gap seems immense, I'm not sure...

    Collections question

    No, it was charged successfully for two months. Three charges, one at the start and one more after each month. The fourth one was declined. I admit I probably should have noticed it wasn't on my card, but I don't scrutinize it that closely since I'm not responsible for any fraud in the first...

    Got Mythic shoulders out of mine, they have haste which sucks for BrM, but it did roll a socket as well so that's pretty good.

    Collections question

    I lost something like 60 points to fucking World of Warcraft. When I resubbed it was still defaulting to a very old credit card with a $0 balance that I hadn't used in years. I put in new card information but somehow must not have actually selected the new card as the card to use. I had since...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The augment runes stack with everything, so if you're on a server with enough Mythic raiders you can sell them for stupid amounts of gold. Chaining heroic dungeons as a tank with the bonus up is a fantastic way to make gold right now. You get 150g directly for killing the bosses, can disenchant...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    The theaters don't care about the actual risk of an attack. They have insurance for shit like that. Like I said before, the theaters are concerned with their customers not showing up because their customers don't want to take the risk.

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    So basically, Sony tried to release it in theaters and no theater would touch it. Then they tried to release it as video on demand and all the major cable companies and VOD providers said no. George Clooney tries to circulate a petition of support for Sony over this and not a single person will...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    Well, yes. It's no secret that before Sony shitcanned the movie, every single major movie theater chain publicly stated that they would not show it. Of course Sony has to pull it, at that point. What good would releasing it do when no major theater will screen it? There are costs associated with...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    I don't get why this is so hard to understand. If you have a billion dollar movie running at the same time as this, and 3% of your normal customer base that would normally go to the movies but doesn't because they're afraid of terrorists due to the NK threats doesn't go watch it, you lose $30...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    Yes, and? Do you think that running this movie would increase their total revenue by more than 3%? If this was some blockbuster like Star Wars that NK was bitching about, no way would they pull it. A movie like this one where making triple the budget is an exceptionally good result isn't...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    If you're going to strawman me, at least post something that makes sense. The fact is when you have a 15-25 screen theater and you lose 3% from every single one of those screens it's worth a lot more in total than the movie would make.

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    Not many would, but like I already explained, it doesn't take a lot. Even a 2-3% drop in attendance would lose them more money than this movie would make them. Sony has no choice but to cave to the demands. Every single major theater chain announced that they would not show the movie. Why should...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    The thing is this is pretty much just railing against human nature as well. What do you want to do? Mandate that Sony throw away money? How do you get the people who forego going to the theater because of the threats to go anyways? A lot of them probably aren't even making this decision...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    So what are you raging against? Human nature? This is a country where we consent to having our balls fondled to fly on airplanes because we're afraid of terrorists, do you really think even a bullshit threat like this one isn't going to cause people to stay away from theaters that show this...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    I do not understand the surprise and rage here. Sony and theater chains are corporations whose only reason for existing is to make money. If even a couple percent of your normal customer base decides to stay home because they're afraid of the threats, then they lose far more money running the...

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    The thing is, the way US laws work, it's actually not impossible for Sony to have been sued for damages had extremists actually blown up a movie theater. They can very much be held liable for ignoring a credible threat to the safety of their customers. In addition, no theater in the country...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    It's called product sabotage and exists for the same reason coupons exist. It exists to identify the people with more disposable income that can afford to not have to fuck around with the coins so they can be charged extra for the same product.

    Personal loot is 20% chance to get something per player. That means if you 10-man a boss it's a ~10% chance for nobody to get anything.
