  1. Minecraft Realms is a good idea, right guys? It's so powerful and flexible! ...Guys?
  2. Brand recognition, probably. There's also a sizable playerbase to work with/advertise to/etc.
  3. I'd just like to see an official modding API that means we won't have to rely on third parties with questionable legal status. Being able to push content to the client would be welcome as well.

    How about five new heists, each of which is really quick and involves running around shooting people. It's like the Transport DLC but less disappointing.

    Which Antivirus should I use, dorks?

    You generally don't need one. Just get a good adblock plugin and don't download files like http:65.222.202.53~TILDEPUBCIA-BINETCINIT.DLL?FILE=_AUTOEXEC.BAT.MY%20OSX%20DOCUMENTS-INSTALL.EXE.RAR.INI.TAR.DOCX.PHPHPPH.XHTML.TML.XTL.TXXT.0DAY.HACK.ERS_(1995)_BLURAY_CAM-XVID.EXE.TAR.[sCR].LISP.MSI.LNK.ZDA.GNN.WRBT.OBJ.O.H.SWF.DPKG.APP.ZIP.TAR.TAR.CO.GZ.A.OUT.EXE I leave Microsoft Security Essentials running because it came with our school laptops. It seems to be in a neverending cycle of trying to scan the entire computer, then failing because it takes several days to do so.
  6. Mojang has been pissing around for the past year and a half (particularly in light of the Bukkit fiasco) so perhaps this will inject some new life into it.

    The effectiveness of armor can be measured in a few different ways: Total effective health: How much damage you can take before going down, presuming your armor never regenerates. Time until death: How long it takes to die when taking constant damage. Armor health: How much damage it takes to lose your armor. Time until armor loss: How long it takes to lose your armor when taking constant damage. Total effective health is most relevant if you're caught in the open. Time until death is important for making big sprints. Armor health and time until armor loss are key if you're fighting in cover. Armors with better speed let you cover more distance in the same time, but lose armor health and take fewer hits. This means that a suit will probably allow you to run farther out of cover, since you're moving more quickly. Another key factor is dodge, which provides (on average) a reduction in damage you take. This applies to both armor and health. Having higher armor health dramatically improves your overall survivability if you can take cover as needed. For example, the ICTV lets you take several shotgun blasts, whilst the suit goes down in one. This means you can lay down more fire before having to break off, which is why I act like a complete idiot with my shotgunforcer build and run around spamming the Raven (without dying all THAT often). Suppose you have 100 health (because I said so) and a suit. With the right skills and whilst sprinting, you dodge 49% of shots that would have hit you. This effectively doubles your health (on average, of course). Meanwhile, the ICTV does nothing to your effective health after your armor is gone. On the other hand, it offers a gigantic load of armor, significantly improving your effective health. SO The CTV is problematic because it slows you significantly and makes you very unlikely to dodge anything. It has its niches- Rats day 1, for example, would probably be fine with it. However, the lower speed means you can't get as far before dying, which makes it inadvisable for heists where you need to dive through cops. An HBV or even a suit would be more effective for that purpose. On the other hand, if you can kill the cops fast enough, armor is preferable over speed- you can just kill them before they can deal enough damage to break your armor. Hence the power of the ICTV. Personally, I use the HBV when not spec'd as Enforcer and the ICTV when I am. tl;dr CTV isn't always very good but sometimes is anyways

    Apple Watch: Stupid Product, or Stupidest Product?

    I wear a watch because it's more convenient for briefly checking the time (especially when sitting, as pulling out a phone can be tricky). It also looks nifty I guess

    You should try Big Bank with us. I think we only failed once because one of Guy's friends couldnt return and we got stuck with Chains bot. (Also because Witty was using a build he never tried and Guy was using a suck ass armor) Pure technician build = ABSOLUTE SADNESS

    Respecing is expensive, which is a drain on your cash. It's less of an issue now that they've buffed most heists, however.

    Getting no experience is ridiculous. I'd prefer if you earned EXP throughout a heist, then gained a small chunk at the end. I finally managed to get the samurai armor on Shadow Raid DW solo. 21 bags in all. Got a cool $12,000,000 payday.

    EA Says No Sims 5 if Sims 4 Flops

    They wont. Instead they will kill the franchise, then move to another, like they did many many many other times. It's just like the Madden games. They release new, slightly modified versions of old games with tons of new DLC whenever the money pile gets low. If they do ax the Sims series, they'll just start spewing out even more DLC-ridden drivel that barely functions as a game.

    But then how will they sell the DLC to you again after you re-buy it in Sims 4 after having bought it in Sims 3?

    Audio-Technica Repairs?

    I used some quarters and electrical tape to hold the hinge in place. It's still slightly off- I'll need to adjust it later- but it definitely works. I can't swivel or close it, of course, but it's better than it just flying off my head when I try to wear it.

    Audio-Technica Repairs?

    My ATH-M50x headphones broke this morning. The tiny plastic tab that keeps the left earcup from swinging out too far snapped on, preventing it from sitting snugly against my head (it hangs out quite some distance) Has anyone ever sent in an AT product for repairs? It seems quite expensive, and I'm debating whether or not I could just superglue in a new piece of plastic.

    Audio-Technica Repairs?

    I'll post some pictures after class. It might not be as bad as I originally thought, although I'll need some hefty superglue. For now I might just use electrical tape and a quarter to provide reinforcement.

    Audio-Technica Repairs?

    Getting a price quote involves sending in the product and is a $30 fee if you don't get the repair (since they had to spend bench time on the item to figure out the price). I might do the former- I have a friend who'd like a pair, and he might be able to get them fixed.

    Minecraft

    The problem is that the Minecraft server is closed source, but is used in the GNU licensed CraftBukkit. This violates the terms of the license, from what I understand. Its source would have to be reproduced in full to satisfy the conditions of the GPL.
