borderlands 2 super spencive pre-order comes with box, here is dag in box :3 by devteslain SRSGaming

[–]beef_swellington 4 points5 points ago

Man, $150 is a pretty steep chunk of money; this doesn't even come with a beige dye for ingame items. Then again, I do love maps.

So I found an Oar.... by uw_NBin Diablo

[–]beef_swellington -3 points-2 points ago

It's only like 5.something dps. Do you know what it's actually used for? It isn't a component in the staff of herding

Wirts Original Leg is the same way. It's blue and not very good, but I've been hanging on to it Just In CaseTM

The Diablo Thread! Let's Talk About Diablo! by RobotAnnain Gynocracy

[–]beef_swellington 2 points3 points ago

I've been rolling with a 4 player group of friends for the past few nights (monk/wiz/barb/dh), and this game is fantastic. Energy Twister + frost nova + shock pulse? I HOPE YOU FUCKERS LIKE DYING.

I also appreciated the difficulty ramp up; we were just kind of facerolling our way through act 1, then I got hit by something in the first champion pack in act 2 that dropped my health by half in a single blow. This is good!

Also, my wings of conspicuous consumption make people mad. p sure they jelly.

Anyone have an EPROM programmer? by clawesomein orlando

I bet familab has one. Some guys from over there post here occasionally.

I need one guest pass for a coworker, if anyone is willing to facilitate some inter-office team building!

This tiny spider (1/3rd of tip of my index finger) was biting my arm. Got a good picture before it walked away... what is it? (South Carolina, USA) by Omnishinzuiin whatsthisbug

[–]beef_swellington 0 points1 point ago

Oh, you're right. I'd searched for images for both, and for some reason all the samplings of wood ticks I'd found looked significant different (no white markings). Another search just now indicates that my previous attempt was inadequate.

[–]beef_swellington 12 points13 points ago

It is not a spider, but a tick. I believe it's actually a dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), not a wood tick as another poster suggested. Also you are not likely to get lyme disease from these, but they are transmission vectors for other ailments.

If you have pets, you should look them over to make sure they're not hosting more of the little bastards. To remove them, use fine-pointed tweezers and grab the head, not the body (or use fine-tipped forceps). I give my dog comfortis to prevent his becoming infested.

A Bar I Created at Vintage Ultra Lounge in St Petersburg, FL [1200 x 800] [OS] [OC] by studioartebelloin ArchitecturePorn

Awesome! Did you do any work for the Vintage in Orlando, or any of the owner's other bars?

Did Blizzard genuinely drop the ball? by NorthernSkepticin Games

[–]beef_swellington 1 point2 points ago

That doesn't sound like it would make the game more fun. Most people don't chose to play games where they're more severely punished for things they like doing.

Also, the thing you're describing is pretty much impossible to accomplish.

Did Blizzard genuinely drop the ball? by NorthernSkepticin Games

[–]beef_swellington 0 points1 point ago

They said PVP wouldn't be ready at release. If that was the most compelling aspect of the game for you, there is no penalty for you to wait to purchase until it's added in. I don't see the problem.

What's wrong with the RMAH that isn't wrong with d2jsp or ebay? Should they have just ignored the fact that item buying/selling happens?

SPLC follow up to its report of misogyny within the MRM. by Manphobein SRSBusiness

[–]beef_swellington 7 points8 points ago

That excerpt actually struck me as really problematic. The position quoted is rooted in the idea that "feminism" is equated to "oppressing men" or some similar nonsense, which means that any actual conversation with this guy would be practically impossible. He is not using words that we share a common definition for--the "feminism" he talks about is some shadowy cartoon evil and is pretty completely divorced from how I suspect the overwhelming majority of self-identifying feminists understand it.

Lots of people, apparently.

Diablo III getting hammered on Metacritic by EIRELEGENDin Diablo

[–]beef_swellington 0 points1 point ago

You seem to have completely invented an argument that you are wish I was making. It's kind of neat watching you try to refute things you entirely imagined that I said.

So much for "logic, reasonable actions, and understanding"!

That's cool. Diablo isn't an MMO but thanks for your history lesson. Your arms are going to get tired if you keep carrying that torch for blizzard though.

expected it to be perfect,

I think they just expected it to be functional, bro. People are entitled to services they pay for.

It's weird that you've chosen to be so personally invested in a corporation that you take peoples' exception at paying for a service they are not receiving as personal slights. You should take a step back and look at what you're doing here, because it's kind of ridiculous.

Too bad they didn't talk about the situation ahead of time or mitigate the effects of their shortcoming via some sort of queuing system or a more granular activation schedule, thereby breaching the trust of their most eager customers! It's not like "buy more servers" was the only alternative to "do nothing".

It's a good thing blizzard doesn't have to pave parking lots, then. Too bad there's no equivalent for carpooling in D3.

I honestly don't care too much--I'm not even home yet and I guess I'll be mildly annoyed if I can't log in tonight, but it probably won't ruin my day. I just thought the car analogies (in general and especially this one in particular) were ridiculous.

[edit: it's apparently my cake day; what prescient timing!]

The "IT SHOULD JUST WORK" mentality is that of someone who does not understand nor do they care to understand. You are the ignorant customer who just wants the end goal

Yeah, those ignorant consumers being all entitled in thinking that the product they just bought should be functional. What jerks!
