My neighbor said he made ramps like that with his dozer around his property. He keeps jumping his atv on them. I hear that guy out there almost every afternoon. All the ramps are way back so I can't see them. Lol.  he hasn't invited me over to check out his ramps yet.

Lol. I'm going to do more testing with steam streaming and my steam link to see if I can use steam to stream gw2 in full quality from my pc to my laptop. If it works I could grind at max settings on my laptop. I know it'll work like that for all my steam games but I don't know yet if I can get gw2 working like that with the steam overlay.

Did a AB mutlimap probably for the last time I had a chance to do it. I hope they patch this. Its killing the prices of rares and exotics on the TP. I now know why just about every exotic is around 80s with 40s buy orders. Some rares are only worth 20s now. So in actuality the mutlimap isn't very profitable anymore, and its dragging down the profitability of everything else.

At least flax and iron are still profitable. I never understood anet's logic of the reward being so massive in AB. Even world bosses are a single chest and maybe a couple bouncy ones in the corner.. AB gives out so many chests it takes almost as long to open all the chests and deal with the contents as it does to actually do the event. Thats crazy.

LMAO, Just in time for LWS3 Ep6.

Exactly.  Thankfully she is showing no interest in electronic cables unless they are in her way. x_x But she has a fascination for anything white. She has tried to destroy both of my white ear bud sets, has attacked white shoe laces and knocked over a bunch of my work papers and proceeded to bite the papers until I threw a toy for her. x_x

Nier and ME have been relaxing after I grinded out machined weapons. I'm taking a break until LWS3. I'll get in some SAB here and there, but that took a toll on me.

I finished up my Gift of the Raven. I still have to turn it into the Gift of Nevermore which isn't difficult at all at this point. I wanted that part done before SAB started. I hope they patched the exploit of selling tribulation runs. They allowed the selling of trib runs last year but said they would patch it. Since they allowed it I went ahead and bought all the runs of world 2 that I needed to get all the green weapon skins and the red SAB infusion. If its not patched I might feel torn about buying all the runs I'd need for the yellow skins just to get the blue SAB infusion.. I'd feel torn about it because I'm a bit burned out on infusions now, but the blue one would actually look decent with my fractal back piece. But I also have just enough gold left to finish Nevermore.. lol. I hope it's patched.

Make sure to do your daily 3 SAB events like last year for the multiple daily meta achieve. I got a late start on it last year and only got 1 of the kaiser weapon skins. If we do the SAB daily every day this festival we should be able to get at least 2 kaiser / crimson skins. I'm really interested in seeing what the big SAB reward track chest will have for pvp or wvw. If the finisher is in there as a reward I'll start doing my pvp again.

I'm glad I finished Nevermore and got my Daredevil equipped with it. So many Spirit Raven effects on critical hits. I love it.

Everything was working great, then windows update kicked in yesterday.  last night I got another IRQ bluescreen crash. wtf. Only the one crash so far.

Its because you had me check my Necro build. GW2 was running like absolute shit because windows wants to update everytime I start the game up. So once I decided to launch GW2, windows pushed through and update.

Lmao. Windows update strikes again.

You'll never play them.

I left my PS3 on for its entire life. I never used that "off switch" in the back so it was always on low power or what ever it was called. I had a first gen launch day version. It actually got me more money on trade it towards the slew of PS4 games I got on the PS4 launch. thats pretty sad that a first edition was worth more than a newer slim because of the backwards compatibility.

I might not ever play them, but it was the Final Fantasy 13 games. I could pick them up on steam now, but that PS3 was the best bluray player ever because of it's built in dolby digital surround sound decoder. With a bluray movie and my 5.1 speaker set up, that PS3 made my living room sound like a movie theater with massive bass. I think to buy a bluray player with that audio output would cost around $50, so I still think I'll spend the extra $50-$80 more and get a refurbished ps3 instead so I'll get the benefits of auto firmware updates, a 500 gb hard drive and access to all my games again.

Linksys fa life My 4 antenna dual 5ghz/2.4ghz beast was worth every penny. I'm sure my neighbors 3 houses down can pick up a medium quality connection on this thing if it wasn't WPA2 locked.

Lol. I've had a linksys router crap out on me. Ever since then I've had no brand loyalty for routers.

I've had a Belkins and D-Links crap out on me but the only Linksys that died on me got hit by lightning. I'll have to give that one a pass. I've never had a TP-Link.

I guess the dip tube was broken in the apartment I use to live in. The shower would only stay hot for a good 5-6 minutes. Shit was so annoying. Eventually the damn thing just cracked open and they had to replace it after saying nothing was wrong with it for a year in a half.

Lol. Sounds like a typical landlord to me. I watched these 2 very informative videos and the guy explains the entire workings of a water heater. I had no idea what that plastic tube inside my water heater was called so I watched videos to try and find out. Those plastic dip tubes corrode and break off after a while. I had no idea this was a thing. This guy's tank had 2 or 3 broken ones inside.

It makes so much sense why my showers don't stay hot nowhere near as long as at my old house. A replacement tube with the metal nipple screw on piece is $39 on amazon. I can't find the damn things for sale at any hardware store. But lowes and home depot will sell a drip tube because they need to sell those with new units. But a dip tube, nope, they'd rather have you buy a new water heater.

Also, I turned the heat up on my water heater last year because of the cold showers, turns out with my hard well water, that caused the heating elements to burn more of the minerals out of the water faster causing the build up mineral sediment faster. My water heater is working good now since friday but I'll replace the dip tube this spring when I don't have to worry about draining any more water out into the snow. Then my showers will get a significant improvement. In the mean time my showers now last a good 10 minutes of hot/warmth and that's good enough for now. 

Wow, thats crazy.

Honestly these books were way too long for movies. It was made too early. With HBO and Netflix these days, this would have been an amazing 5-7 season series easily. Digesting all of it an hour at a time would have made it more enjoyable and manageable.

You mean so much better Yea the end of RotK kinda drags on for quite awhile with a lot of little things that weren't exactly necessary to get the story across (but remember, Tolkien was a world builder before a storyteller and he built one hell of a world).

God what I wouldn't give for a literal book to TV series adaptation of Lord of the Rings (preferably HBO, Netflix does good stuff but I think HBO would do it much more justice). The movies were a little too condensed for my tastes and honestly not as enjoyable as a TV series would be.

If its anything like the standard TWD game its not for me. I still need to play through it on steam. A friend let me borrow the Xbox 360 version and after the initial car crash scene and 1st house, I turned it off. The controller was too frustrating for a point and click game.

Its not for me on a console is what I meant.

I haven't tried it yet but I think it is. It's a bit annoying to move the cursor on the screen fast enough to respond to something. It would be better on pc for that reason alone, but I got used to it pretty quick on ps4. Maybe the speed of the cursor was bugged on the 360 version. I was disappointed these tell tale games didn't take advantage of the touch pad on the ps4 controller. It could easily work like a laptop TouchPad mouse and there isn't a single game on the ps4 that utilizes it like that. 

I still need to get on and play the new DLC. I got to try out some of the maps prior to its release because of Premium but never did get around to actually playing them now (I'm not looking forward to seeing the unlock requirements for the new guns though I want to get me hands on the Federov, makes medics extremely op now).

Using spears on horses looks brutal now. lol. I'll be playing a bunch this weekend to try it out.

On the web browser version you only see "Rotflmao!" unless you click it. but on the mobile version you see the link

I noticed that to. I'll have to remember to type something else in next time since links don't seem to end up in the shortened preview part everyone sees.

Sounds like BF1 money to me.

Hell yes.

I like that photoshop clone. I found out that for guild wars 2 we can keybind a Hide UI option to make full screen shots that don't need editing. It works pretty good but I forgot what my keybind was when I first tried it. lmao. I couldn't see the settings option to turn it off. I hit a bunch of buttons until my UI came back on so I could change the setting.

I have mine set like that, but I still crop so I don't upload a 1400x1080 pic.

Thats why I like that image software I have on the server now, it'll auto resize and reduce the image size. I sure won't try uploading a 4k image tho. My upload rate is 25 mbps tho too so upload speeds are pretty quick for me now.
