I stopped following it months ago. Once I hear that it's closer to being complete then I'll pick it up again, like watching paint dry.

I'm not being negative but I do not like how my PS4 creaks and clicks when I'm playing it, it runs great and does get a little hot but nothing major, I feel it's been designed right on the teetering point of function/form. It's aaaalmost getting hot but has enough ventilation and is just big enough to have it dissipate well enough. Then you look at Xbox One and it's "MOOAR FAN!!!" which runs nice and cool and quiet with minimal clicking and creaking.

Still sucks you got a dud but as with anything mass produced from materials from all over the planet there's gonna be a number of bad ones that passed their testing. Don't you have a moneyback or instant replacement or something? I'm sure most retailers in the UK do this, or at least will do it out of courtesy.

Not coming back. I have 178 days played on my warlock and another 164 days played on my warrior and I dont want to see wow anymore after WoD. One exp, a very bad content patch (6.1) and one content patch (6.2) and now I have to buy another exp? Thx but no thx.

That's how I see it currently, small xpac with a terrible launch and badly designed garrison, one small rubbish patch and then a reasonable patch which got old fast. If you don't like a huge grind then that's half the patch ruined.

What's been said is pretty much it. The biggest weakness these days is yourself, tighten that up and you're about as secure as you can get.

Looks good and the game is definitely popular enough that a lot of people will appreciate it but what in 10 years? When Skyrim is old news and rarely mentioned apart from the dime a dozen "Top 10" articles. I would say very well done on the project, it looks great and certainly impresses me, not $50k worth though, maybe 10k or 15k since he does look successful enough to have that sort of money, 50k could have been better spent but it's his money so it's up to him 100%.

I just wish i had a basement or attic large enough for a man cave, not a 50k man cave mind you. I aint that well off.

Used Chrome for years, yes yes yes it's RAM intensive but what is the point of having 8GB or 16GB of RAM if only 2GB is actually used? And if you're using high amounts of RAM then you're not browsing the web.

I uninstalled FF ages ago, might give it a blast and see how it compares but Chrome is fine to me even at work on crappy PCs with 2GB of RAM, works much better than IE.

Tough one. I enjoy WoW's traditional combat but also love GW2's take on combat.

WoW has had much longer and much more money to invest and perfect, while not perfect it's pretty ideal as everything is solid, well visualised and.. how can I put it... Sanitized? It is just very clean, well polished and when you do something you know it's done it or you don't.

GW2 is a bit grittier, however far more fluid and dynamic and I almost prefer it. I play mainly my mesmer and he's a condition build so I need to move and plan ahead(a little) to see where to plant my abilities such as Chaos Storm(I love Staff build) as it's stationary, I can run in and teleport out of it and I get a Boon for it. You don't get that in WoW. every class has these and when well used are a real game changer, it requires skill to actually utilise Combo Fields in a useful way instead of by accident or at the wrong time.

I dunno.... maybe WoW gets a 8.5 out of 10 and GW2 gets a 8.575 out of 10 purely because it is easy to play for fun without being a huge drawback. Plus dodging can be fun or devastating when you run into a big damage ability.

Funny you should say, I noticed my mouse was behaving weird, movements were sketchy and seemd the optical laser was blocked or being interrupted, usually dust or whatever getting in there and needs cleaned but there was nothing for months I had wondered what was causing this intermittent issue, as soon as i moved to a USB 2 it all was cured, been weeks now and had not a single issue. My mouse is a cheap Logitech i got for £8 on a sale but it's served me well and [now] continued to.

That case could be settled with the cost of a band aide and another free coffee... Stupid American self entitlement, hope he loses and ends up losing his house and any savings and then ends up paying back the legal costs for years to come.
