I normally don't mind the online bit, but late last week when there were major server lags I was cursing Diablo and his soulstone to an eternity in Lag Purgatory.

farming white items is actually pretty easy. Find an area with a lot of armor/weapon racks, those almost always have white pieces. Good places are Act 1 - the Cathedral or the Skeleton King's area, or Act 4 - pretty much everywhere. I agree not as much fun as getting Legendaries and not as easy as buying supplies on…

EA's official stance - Offline mode is impossible, we will never enable that. 1 year later - Here's offline mode, quit complaining.

you can't give Common Debris, but you can give white items that can be salvaged to CD. The hard part to get is the legendary Fiery Brimstone since new Legendary items are account bound, you can't drop those for someone else to salvage. I made a killing selling FB the last few days the AH was open, that stuff was going…

In some ways I like the AH, it was a good way to unload some of the items pre-Loot 2.0 that were completely useless to my characters. After Loot 2.0 they changed it to where the items dropped were more geared towards the character you were using, that helped a lot.

My wife has nearly punched people who thought they had the right to rub her belly. Pretty much all of the points in the article are exactly what we have been going through. People I don't know have been talking to us about their pregnancies and going into details that ought not be shared in public, but for some odd…

I started a new job at the beginning of the year and so I did censor myself quite a bit at first. I have been told by many people that I can come across as a bit abrasive and sarcastic so I at least wanted to get a feel for the environment before I was my normal self.

Instead of freezing breath, he would have firehose ..., you get the picture.

Ours are not the simplest taxes to do, we have been taking medical expense deductions and have 4 W-2's to enter, but doing ourselves is not too bad. The last few times we went to H&R Block to get our taxes done I realized that the screens they used looked exactly the same as the ones I had played with seeing what the…

Whoops, you are correct there. I misread a portion and thought it said video as well, but here is the section from the article: as long as your Android device is plugged in and Dormi is running, it'll listen and transmit audio

Just from reading the article, I would say that this app basically turns a phone into a webcam. So if you have a spare phone to leave lying around running this app, technically it could be used for these purposes, just the same as any webcam or spycam.

These tips make a lot of sense during the winter, but during the summer months (at least in Texas) it would probably burn out the A/C or at least jack up the electric bill like mad to try and keep the house below 65...

I just dealt with it for several years. I got pretty good at just bottling up the stress and then decompressing on the way home, but toward the end it was driving me to drink. I didn't want that, so the final step was to find a new job. Quitting is sometimes a luxury that not everyone can afford so my advice is to…

I've been keeping the heat lower this winter and we've used space heaters/electric blankets/wood fireplace when possible instead of heating the whole house. I probably need to do some maintenance as there are some drafts and be better about vampire drains, I just have not gotten the gumption to actually work on that…

Oops, I did not see that part of the paragraph. I promise to read a bit more carefully in the future, thanks for correcting me on that.

Let's make a few adjustments to these to make them more realistic for some of us. How about we add $100-$200 a month for medical bills, another $300 for a car payment, utilities vary (my electric bill jumps from $100 to $350 depending on the weather), no one has Internet listed (usually at least $50).

DUDE! Put me down for a copy of the PC version. This looks freaking awesome. Of course, I suck at teamwork so I would do best as the big beastie. Hopefully you can swap around the roles, I am sure it would get boring for the medic after a while...

Yeah, but that requires much more effort than just starting the car and letting it warm up </sarcasm>

I do like the vinegar solution to keep it from frosting, I am just too lazy to actually use it most of the time... Maybe I should invest in some de-icing washer fluid instead. Good call.

Thank you for posting these tips. Here in Texas we have a lot of people who are not used to driving on icy roads, and so it increases the risks. I lost track of the number of people I saw braking or trying to accelerate on an icy patch and start to lose control. If you just take your foot off all the pedals and let…
