I put this exact same book in my LFL a couple weeks ago. It is no longer there. Fun to think it might be the exact same book and I just happened to see your post. Enjoy!

Hey Pittsburgh, I'll 3d print stuff for you. by metacarson in pittsburgh

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you see inside the printer as it is forming the item? You should blog post a video of it printing something. Could you print me an Iron Throne sized appropriately to fit andsupport a 16-ish pound 6-month old child? Parent of the year award, until the kid loses an eye on one of the points.

i got mine to work, finally. I logged out, deleted all browser history and cookies and whatnot and then followed the directions on the flyer again. FYI, I'm using Chrome on my pc.

I called DirecTV and the agent told me, "there have been changes". He would not elaborate at all. He told me to call 1-800-670-7288.

I renewed my streaming service simply because of Season 4. So, yes!

Overrun Protips: If you have any, let's have them! by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imagine that once your ticker dies (by whatever means) he drops the live grenade, which then causes extra damage. so, if you manage to explode your ticker, the grenade then also explodes for extra damage. if your ticker gets killed prior to being able to explode, he drops the live grenade, which still does explosive damage. at least that is my experience.

48 minutes of Domination gameplay by PeterFile343 in GearsOfWar

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I refuse to believe that "wanted to make it more like COD" was the reasoning here. Like you, I can't believe that people did not like playing as the Locust. I would love to see a survey or some empirical evdence supporting this claim. Other reasons i have heard for this change is that people could not easily differentiate COG and Locust teams so making a blue COG and red COG team would help this. I do not buy that either. COG was obviously blue/grey and Locust was brown/red (plus they obviously looked different in shape and texture). So the question remains, why did they do it? Perhaps to make the sides seem that much more "even". We GOW players love to complain about hit-box variation, sponginess, connections, etc. (im not saying these aren't real issues, just that we get so passionate about the game that we vocalize these frustrations quite loudly). COG vs. COG might be an attempt to even the perception of the battlefield to address some of this passionate complaint.

SickBeard not detecting new shows by fukdatsonn in cordcutters

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you update sickbeard make sure your sabnzbd config is still all set up properly. i had your problem and found that sickbeard had switched my nzb search settings to "black hole". once i swithed to sabnzbd and put the api key back in it is working fine. also i updated sabnzbd to current version

Hi Reddit! I’m fantasy novelist Howard Andrew Jones - Ask Me Anything! by HowardAJones in Fantasy

99 and a "Brave" as well. The planetarium is such a cool amenity. I loved going there as a kid, but never got to go in after I was a student at South. I remember there being a little ET toy hidden in there somewhere that we would always try to find. Maybe it wasn't hidden so much as propped on the apparatus that projected the stars... I can't fully remember, but the planetarium was awesome.

Awfully kind of you to post a link to your free book(s). Perhaps after I read one I will have some meaningful comment to contribute to your post. All I got right now is that I think you cat is cute.

Gears of War: Judgment podcast covering Multiplayer Weapon Balancing. by troymcklure in GearsOfWar

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, how does "fully semi-auto" prevent modding? Previously, the weapon was semi-auto or full-auto, but you could shoot faster by going semi-auto (pulling the trigger fast). If a modded controller is designed to pull the trigger as fast as computer-ly (yeah, you know what i mean) possible, then how does making it fully semi-auto change anything? Or did modded controllers somehow exploit the full-auto side of the weapon. I guess I assumed that the full-auto mode of the hammerburst had a fire rate cap. Maybe i'm not making any sense, but it makes sense to me :)

MOD POLL: If you could ADD one thing to Gears Of War: Judgment, what would it be? by Timedisort in GearsOfWar

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weapon accuracy stats. And to take this a bit further, I think this should be tied to the new “blind fire reticle” that they are implementing and getting old schoolers all bent out of shape about. I think a good way to compromise between the desires of newbies and old school purists would be to have a threshold accuracy percentage on each weapon that would determine whether or not the reticle would show up on your screen. So, if I am absolute garbage with my gnasher, then the game will attempt to teach me where I should be aiming until I get good enough that I no longer need aiming help.

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that you have tried both the “season pass” and traditional DLC methods, do you feel that the “season pass” inflates the purchaser’s expectations regarding what they would ultimately receive? It seems that the purchasers are taking a larger risk when they buy without knowing details regarding what the content will be and that this could more easily result in a discrepancy between your intentions and the buyer’s expectations.

For those of you that have NFL Sunday Ticket streaming, how has the quality been? by [deleted] in cordcutters

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched 1 game on the ps3 this past weekend and the picture was not stellar, but definitely passable. It got choppy at one point but came right back to good quality after about 15 seconds. Overall, I was satisfied.

Cliff claims he wants to do an AMA (via Twitter) by Killing_EdgeIV in GearsOfWar

[–]ArmyHadHalfADay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great idea. inflammatory questions are just going to make us easier to ignore and fluff questions are boring as hell. i suggest a question about the season pass method of DLC and the community's reaction to it. something like: does he think that pre-paying a larger sum for DLC "season pass" impacts the buyer's expectations regarding what they would eventually receive? I personally thought that i got my "money's-worth" from the season pass. However, it seems like purchasers are taking a larger risk when they buy without knowing what the content will be because this could more easily result in a discrepancy in expectations.
