  1. MYSQL crashed on the server. First time I've seen that happen in almost a year.

  2. Thats the thing too. Shes only 5'5". She'll basically have to jump up to even get enough height to strangle someone. Just about any woman from the Descent movies would make a more plausible Lara Croft. Daisy Ridley was a potential Lara Croft too. I don't think she would have fit the part that well either tho.
  3. http://nerdist.com/alicia-vikander-is-your-new-lara-croft/ I liked her in Ex Machina, but she doesn't look like the new Lara Croft from the games to me. She looks skinny but not fit. Its hard for me to imagine her strangling the hell out of men and killing people like crazy. But I never thought Charlize Theron could play an action packed character either, but she nailed it in Mad Max. Maybe Alicia was a good pick. I dunno. But I hope this new Tomb Raider is actually based on the new game and is nothing like the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies.
  4. MAD TV spoofed President Donald Trump years ago..

    Trump's composure is pretty much the same as "drunken president"

    XD

  5. I made my gift of bolt tonight. If I can't get this back piece within a week, I'll make bolt instead and give fractals a break for a while. Maybe the guild will start up a fractal night again or mix it in with a dungeon night.

      I just need to run AC to make gift of lightning and I can toss everything into the forge. X_x I should be asleep, but I had to get artificer up to 400.. ugh the guide was so boring because all the potions. I blew all my laurels and karma to get the obsidian shards... I'm going to be dead broke in gold and mats for a while.

      You must have been up half the night leveling up that crafting. Even with the guides every crafting profession took me at least 2-3 hours each to level up. I still need to finish my last 2% of world completion to make bolt. I might just make it this weekend because as soon as I don't have a gift of fortune, thats when I'll get that last piece I need for the back piece and I'll have to wait 2 months to finish it. lol.

  6. Well holy crap. I'm sure vanilla WoW must have been great.. but they'll never make a new Warcraft RTS sequel again now. ;_; (btw, i found a new bug in the forum software, on my phone my last post shows my angry smilie as a heart/in love smilie. wtf. lmao.)
  7. They killed Arthas? WTF!? Wow.. I was hoping for an eventual Warcraft 4 so the series could go back to its roots.. but that kind of crushes that dream. ;_;
  8. I remember watching the first Independence Day and afterwards I never thought there would be a sequel. I thought it was a great standalone movie. If anything I assumed it would get rebooted all these years later instead of actually getting a sequel. I'll definitely watch it because its scifi and action packed. But it could be crappy and only on par with other big cgi action flicks like San Andreas or 2012 that are only worth watching once.
  9. So much action. I'm glad Will Smith isn't in this movie.. his last couple movies really were't that good and if it was once again a Will Smith / Jaden Smith movie it would have sucked. *looking at you After Earth*
  10. I noticed that JQ hardly has any queue at all now. I bet BG is at 100% capacity during peak hours at this rate.
  11. And I thought only Star Wars could screw up their own canon that bad. I'm kind of glad I skipped WoW.
  12. I wonder how many people are streaming WvW now. WvW is really unique too. I've never seen something like it in other MMORPGs.
  13. When I think about Warcraft and how their dialects should sound I always have Warcraft 3 come to mind like in this clip: But when I see Travis Fimmel in these trailers, he sounds exactly like Ragnar and the vikings. I can't unhear his viking speak.
  14. I finished watching Star Wars Clone Wars the animated series. I find it hard to believe that Disney kept this as canon. There were a handful of episodes that literally seem to throw alot of movie canon right out the window. I'll have to post a topic about it once I get some references together. I'm trying to catch up on everything that is considered actual true canon now in the new Star Wars universe and this clone wars series really boggles my mind with some of the really dumb things that happened. Overall it was a great series tho and had so much killing in it for a kids show. holy crap. There were even some decapitations. Surprised the hell out of me for a kid's cartoon. XD

      Never could actually get into this show and from what little I've seen and heard about (watch a lot of Star Wars youtube videos) it is quite funny how this is cannon (then again Lucas declared it canon when he still had control over it). I hear Rebels is quite out there too (again wouldn't know since I haven't watched it).

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I know they visit Malachor in rebels and refer to the events mentioned KOTOR 2 about the Jedi civil war. Funny since what was left of the planet was destroyed at the end of the game.

      I started watching Rebels when it first came out but then missed enough eps that I dropped it before the first season ended. I'll watch it again to see how the canon is treated in it. One thing I remember being incredibly dumb is the slingshot energy weapon the kid had. Why have a slingshot that you have to manually pull to shoot when a blaster is 1000% more efficient, is faster to fire, takes up the same amount of space and can be used with one hand? So stupid. lol.

  15. New trailer that doesn't really show much of anything new. Still looks good tho.
  16. The season finale was good. Alot of action. Vikings getting their asses kicked and then a time skip. I had a feeling they'd time skip but I thought it wouldn't happen until the beginning of the next season. Instead we see all of Ragnar's kids grown up already. Ivar's blue eyes. wtf. Looks a bit creepy. I know after the Paris ordeal is around the time Ragnar died in history.. but then he shows back up in the show. lol. I'm interested in seeing where the next season goes. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see Lagertha after the time skip. I don't know if the Vikings are ever going back to Paris or not, but if they don't next season then I hope they don't keep showing clips of them like they were with wessex.
  17. Thats the part of the guy's comment that pissed me off. I sit at a desk all day typing my ass off and "pushing a mouse" and its work. I'd like to see anyone that says its not work, sit on their ass for 8 hours a day for 15 years and tell me how good their health is then. Anyone that has ever told me: "I wish I could sit all day, must be nice." I give them a f*cking ear full. All those people that stand all day and then finally sit down are like: "ah, that feels so good." but for me after sitting all day, I'll often be in my kitchen and eat dinner standing up because it honestly feels good to be standing for more than 10 minutes at a time. I couldn't imagine doing crunch time of 80-90 hours per week. My ulnar nerve and carpel tunnel issues are bad enough after typing for 15+ years for a living, I often have to stop doing overtime when I have it because if I do to much, I'll wake up in the middle of the night with my arms partially paralyzed until it turns into full on pain inducing pins and needles and intense pain in my hands. Kojima makes some great games, but MSG2 really put me off on the series and his writing as a whole. Even tho Snake wasn't the main character, it was still a solid game until the ending were it just turns stupid. I vaguely remember the Otocon plot line they threw into that game too. It was so bad that I kept laughing at what was supposed to be a serious moment for his character. It felt like a bad soap opera. I keep telling myself I'll get the newest MSG and relive the fun I had with MSG1 (one of the best games ever made), but I still haven't gotten around to it. There was one for PS3 I wanted and the newest one on PS4 looks great. But every time I see it go on sale I don't feel that rush to go buy it.
  18. I really should. lol. I'm on my laptop for about 90% of my PC gaming. But thats usually when I'm farming GW2 while watching tv.
  19. WvW on our server is starting to pick up. I already saw queues for EB and Jade Quarry borderlands a couple different times tonight. The potential for big wars in EoTM and in EB are getting my hyped. I really need a new graphics card. I keep holding out for these new ones that are coming out this summer to drop the price of existing ones lower, but I don't know how much longer I'll hold out for.
  20. Wow. No wonder they said the reward tracks are in beta. 4 minute participation sounds like they took the HoT meta event participation scale and applied it to WvW. I don't see how that would work well. Maybe the reward tracks build slower than in PVP because in WvW you still get loot bags while in PVP all you get is some chump change 30 silver. They need to give us WvW reward track potions for WvW dailys like they do for pvp dailys and that would probably even it out quite nicely.
  21. Guild Wars 2 spring update has got my interest. I must get that fractal back piece. :dizzy:

      The Ranger sword is amazing now. S/A is just beastly. I'm so happy they fixed that. I took my ascended sword away from my mesmer and gave it to my ranger. XD I want bolt now.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      My full ascended armor is complete. My agony resistance gold sink is done too. All thats left is to get some more fractal relics and I'll have full AR for that fractal 100 boss fight. All I've done the last 2 evenings is craft. Starting tomorrow I can actually resume playing. XD

  22. I'm going out to vote today. I bet Trump will win NY because Cruz is too religious for the majority of this state. Bernie might win but I hope not. Everyone that is "feeling the Bern" and go out to vote for him will "feel the burn" when they realize all the free crap he's promising is all a pipe dream that will never pass through congress. If he gets to be president it'll be another 4-8 years of Obama 2.0 imo.

      Honestly we're fucked no matter who wins it's all just a matter of who you're willing to put up with, Obama 2.0 or Trump (both bad choices but who's the lesser evil?).

    2. Sledgstone

      Hillary won NY. I don't think we'll get Obama 2.0 with her even tho the media might say that. The biggest issue is congress. Obama wanted big sweeping changes and it ended with congress negating almost everything he said he wanted to do. Bernie would have been the same. Big sweeping changes and 4 years of congress saying no. Even if it was all democrats in the majority I still doubt Sanders would get any major support for the things he wanted to accomplish. Regardless tho, even if Hillary was president, if the majority of congress is still republican nothing would get done again. And democrats are lazy about going to vote in non presidential elections. Within 2 years a big chunk of republicans will take over congress again regardless of the outcome of the elections this year. At least thats the track record for the region I live in. I remember about 5 years ago the republican woman representing my area basically put a stop to a high speed rail plan in upstate NY all by herself because it "would have been a waste of taxpayer money" yeah.. who needs rich NY city ppl jumping on a train for a 2 hour trip to spend money vacationing in the tourist locations by the fingerlakes or going to rochester, buffalo or the rest of the state.. nah. But instead we got wide sweeping tax free land options for a massive area of prime city real estate for corporations.. all while the local people got their property tax jacked up massively. I still think a good chunk of politicians are corrupt and getting payoffs for crap like this.

      Her path to the WH is going to be a lot more difficult than its being made out to be. Sanders is destroying her in the young vote, there isnt a lot of enthusiasm there for her. Superdelegates are what is helping her win. Republican turn out is breaking records while Dem turnout is down 1/3rd. If the GOP goes to a contested convention and Cruz snivels his way into the nomination it will be Romney all over again with a lot of people staying home on the GOP side. If Trump wins the general he'll only be around for 4 years. He's not going to be like other politicians and will try to steamroll his plan immediately. This will def cause Dems to show up for the next election. Obama had a full dem congress when he got in, but he knew he wouldn't get reelected if he implemented everything he wanted to in his first term. The dude has always intentionally made his announcements on days before holidays, sporting events, weekends and other times people are generally distracted and don't pay attention. If Hillary keeps running on that extreme gun control platform she def will not win. Suing gun manufacturers for crimes other people commit is like suing car companies for drunk drivers. The NRA machine will be out in full force... and they are more massive than ever with Obama's constant threats over the past 5-6 years. She should know better. When the Brady act was sign under Bill Clinton, the dems got mollywhoped in the mid term.

  23. Ah, it must have been bugged in the mission then. Its a beta so that must have been the issue. I chose the same upgrades for Orendi and I loved that damage she does. Orendi was non stop crazy talk in the missions and it was awesome. She got me laughing pretty good.
  24. I'll give it one or two more eps to try to redeem itself before I drop it. Talking Dead is a better show, but when Chris Hardwick can summarize the episode in 10 seconds theres not much to discuss. I left it on in the background and they thoroughly discussed the episode within 30 mins. FTWD is already renewed for season 3 based off the first episode's viewers. Seeing that they just finished the TWD season on a high note of controversy because of the no death scene, of course alot of ppl tuned in for the first episode of the FTWD season to get their zombie fix and instead got this slow boring mess.. I feel like they're milking the franchise at this point instead of giving us something good or new.
  25. That map looks huge. I never played the first game but heard great things about it.
