What Will You Do While FFXI Is Off For Week + ?

Someone's not getting a birthday present anymore.

Socks?
>:( no thanks.

the land line comment was just in general, not really on topic.

when SE's damages are 100 billion, let me know until then I'll expect them to comply with their obligations.

Japan =/= SE

I feel for Japan and it's people, I don't feel for SE or any other company for that matter.

I fixed the door / window on my truck, reformatted my computer and ghetto-reinstalled FFXI, and now I'm watching Afro Samurai Resurrection. Quite a productive day.

Hmm just off topic sorta

When servers down, does that pause Timers on AH sales?

When dynamis becomes 1 day rest, will it be only 1 group a run or will the zone have a cap like MMM/SW.

Watching Pandorum atm. Awesome flik

I think I'm gonna watch all the X-Files episodes again from season 1 on until the servers are back up. If I finish them all, then SVU, here I come!

refreshing the PoL site and hoping not to see maintenance.

How about soap?

Anyone know an emulator that can play pokemon white?

edit: nvm found

Catch up on tv!!!

I did the same thing o.O; I was having fun with it, then....stopped playing it. lol. I think it was all the horse races. Or something. I didn't buy "Horse buggy racing adventure!"

Wondering this as well kinda. .

Yes, if I recall correctly during the WoTG update they enacted a code that suspends AH timers when Servers were down or being Maintained.

24 and Lost are pretty good waste of time too!

I didnt make this, someone posted it on my facebook wall...

Bored? Pokemon Black/White for you.

Well after 8 hours of non stop building, wiring, re-wiring, and double checking the stability of everything, i finally finished my second computer build.

The only thing that I'm already disappointed with is the hard drive performance, but everything else is an awesomely good 7.5/7.9 score on the windows benchmark.

I wanted to go with solid state drives but who the hell wants to pay like 200$ for a 60GB solid state drive at the moment. Way too expensive and i was on SOMEWHAT of a budget. The two neon colors actually worked out the way i wanted it to, a perfect mix and almost a teal radiance to it.

Also if you notice, i took extreme OCD care on the cable management this time around as the first PC i ever build in 2007 is a wiring nightmare and cords often rub against fans and annoy the ***out of me.

I'm curious on the input of people who may know about the keyboard and mouse i am interested in.

Razer Naga Mouse:


Razr Lycosa Keyboard:


Does anyone have any experience with either of these? In either case thanks for reading and checking out my new build, i was excited as hell to finally build my second custom PC. Luckily it will easily take the week of FFXI being down to plan the network schematics and prepare a backup of all my information and prepare the entire home for a re installation.

Next up i need to order 3 new monitors as i want to sell my current 3 dell ones.

I'm semi-interested in these monitors here:

Acer G215 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009275

Not a bad monitor for $134.99 and the display goes up to 1920 x 1080. I currently use 3 Dell 20" monitors which are stuck at 1680 x 1050 at this moment.

Also for anyone interested in my old PC i build in 2007:



It was on display at my work for a bit before i finally took it home in the pictures. I actually hate the shitty paint job i did on the case... learned my lesson with that one too lol.

No drinks near the computer!

I love your 2x4 and picnic tablecloth desk. /thumbs up

AH you noticed! Look at the very top of my new case... it's actually slightly angled so you can't set ***on top of it, that was actually a very bad habit of mine for awhile and this case ensures i can't do it LOL.

Should get a masamune for ur wall :x

That's at the computer shop i work at, hes a cheap *** *** sometimes lol. The first pictures are in my actual home (at least for now we're moving soon)

I lol'd for real though.

@cinpachi

The lycosa was trash when it first came out, lots of casual gamers have said that the coating on the keys wear off really fast and keys don't register when more than 3-4 are pressed at the same time or some ***.

not sure if they've revised it now, it has been quite a few years.

the naga mouse -- no idea but i've had a few wow gamers recommend it to me.

also, hdd performance is really terrible now a days... it's all about SSD unfortunately. although the WesternDigital 1GB BLACK is one of the faster 7200rpm drives right now, maybe even the Seagate Momentus XL hybrid drive...

but it's probably pretty economical to spend just about $250 in storage... $200 or so for SSD boot/game drive and about $50-60 for something like a WD 2TB green drive for storage.

I will still probably do a SSD drive in the future for the OS. I knew the 7200 drives were going to hold the performance back a bit but 1.5TB for the price i spent isn't really a bad deal at this exact moment. I'll check more into the lycosa reviews before even thinking about buying... i always do massive research and travel to microcenter and stare at the box for an hour before buying lol. The Naga mouse i've heard nothing but good things about it sofar.

i use the lycosa and naga still have for awhile now keyboard i've had for maybe a yr or so almost and keys are fine only space bar is starting to wear

Were you ever able to get the keys on the Naga mouse to macro? I've had a few people tell me they can only respond to the 0-9 on the numpad/above the A-Z. I want to bet money you can customize those keys, but i keep getting mixed responses.
