OPEN BAR: It's actually about ethics in fictional bars

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Cutting up half-frozen duck carcasses first thing in the morning isn't as fun as it sounds.

How is that possible?

The cold, numb fingers. The icy duck breasts. The slicey knives.

I have returned from the land of broken computers!  Bwaha!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Amateurs.  I get to work at 7:30.  I wake up at 5:00.  I stay up to 11:00, minimum.  Playing rock and roll.


NO EXCUSES!

So, some belated thoughts on ESO:

Pros: easy enough to do solo at early levels, plenty of content, pretty, not actually that different in terms of overall gameplay than, say, Dragon Age: Inquisition. Spiders not horrific abominations from Skyrim that must die in a fire.
Cons: really variable framerate (depending on area, I was getting between 15-100 FPS.  Averaging between 50-80, but still...).  Perhaps too much content (lots of meaningless "steal the thing" sidequests).  Instructions unclear, for everything from levelling your character to how crafting works), though at least descriptions for abilities are clear and concise.  Some characters appear to have really useless talents, based on what I've done so far, that Argonian swimming speed passive is utterly worthless for example.

Not tried PvP yet, but I expect that to be a complete shitshow of vampiric Bosmer nightblades invisibly ganking everyone unfortunate enough to not have a fully min-maxed character with Veteran Ranks and Ultimate abilities coming out of their eyeballs.  Should be fun.

Why isn't stealth archery a class?

[Cain]

They nerfed it.  You can play as a nightblade with a bow, but understandably, people found PvP to be quite annoying when people attacked them for massive damage from 500 yards away.  It still has its uses - the very first talent, poison shot, is really good at taking down werewolves for instance - but as a main source of damage, it is pretty meh.

The best option for DPS is definitely an Imperial or Bosmer, vampire, nightblade with dual daggers.  Or a Dunmer Dragonknight.  The speed and stamina regen passives of the former and the fire damage passives of the latter just blow everything else out of the water.

Does anyone know about nvidia (fancy that:) graphics cards?  The last time I was in the market for one of these things I was looking at a Cirrus Logic board, and things seem to have changed somewhat since then.  I think that what I'm after here is RAM, like around 8gigs on the GPU.  Are we there yet, or is the price going to be unreasonable?

An 8 gig graphics card?  It probably exists...somewhere.  Either that or you'd have to hook up two GTX 980's together, SLI style, which wouldn't exactly be cheap.

If you're looking for a good graphics card, which probably won't need updating for a few years but is also reasonably priced, I'd suggest the GTX 780ti.  It's got more than enough grunt for existing games, though you probably wont be running Assassin's Creed: Unity on ultra settings or anything.

Meh, if the registration system is buggered, it's likely everything else is, too.

Did both.  It is possible that I typo'd the email addy.  But not likely.  Because he would have gotten a bounced email.
