Oh I get enough of those already and I'm only 7 years younger. But Simpsons still has it's moments. I love how they have a flat screen in the living room instead of the old box and the kids have cell phones and Homer texts. :lol:

I never even noticed the flat screen. I'll have to pay more attention next time I watch it, which will probably be whenever the Halloween episode comes on ;) I know Matt Groening was commenting just recently about how Bart has had something like 3 separate 10th birthdays.

Oh, okay, it's a song lyric, and also happens to be the name of an online show, thanks.

Check out my latest STO column and leave your feedback about it here :)

I share some of the community's feedback that is based off the Economy and C-Store updates to the Tribble test server.

I'm wondering if forum registration and activity have anything to do with the selection process. I have a friend and a co-worker who have both applied for the test, but not seen anything yet in any of the invitation waves, not even weekend tests. Neither of them are registered on the SWTOR forums (until recently when my friend decided to finally register), and wonder if that has affected their invitation candidacy.

Is there guild set up on the beta server, I saw Old Timers Guild running round so it must be possible.

I haven't found us, yet, so I started rolling with a group called "Synergy".

I've had to check them a few times for comments,

"What's wrong with being a gaymer/tv/ts?"

"Nothing, I didn't say anything was wrong with it."

But I attribute that more to them having absolutely no standards when recruiting. They seem to be more concerned with getting numbers and recruiting everyone within earshot (in general) who can hear them.

For most intents and purposes, they're a nice lot, and I stay around for the company and so I can keep them honest. :p

That seems to happen to alot guilds that have no formal application and let anyone in who can post on the forums. Thankfully it's only beta and you guys won't have to endure it for to much longer.

Have fun in Beta! I've given up hope on getting an invite and set my eyes on 12/20. Hugz

What is this 99 Problems thing? There's a topless bar down the street that says they film for it inside, and that if you enter the bar, you agree to being filmed. But is this thing more than just a Minneapolis thing?

"I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one..."

Im only looking to spend 250 or less, unless i actually wait until next year and use my tax refund. The problem is that im not sure my card will like SWTOR or Diablo 3. I can play Crysis 2, but i get a warning every time i run the game and i dont get very good performance.

The Simpsons did change a lot over the years but it's gotten better in recent years again. I don't watch it all the time but I find it a comfort that it's always been there through most of my life.

You get to a certain age, thigh, where it's no longer a comfort and just reminds you you're old ;)

None of Mike's characters have unlocked the ships yet, so I have yet to actually see any of them in game, much less see the layout. Looking forward to it though.

I got to run around in a sith's ship once... and promptly got lost.

It's not an excessively big ship, it's actually no larger than the rest, it's just more confusing. I had to keep bringing up the map.

Can anyone give me an idea for a current card to upgrade to? Currently im an ATI Radeon fan, but make a case anyway on others.

I have a GTX570 (and an i7 processor) and don't have any problems with STO or SWTOR (both running on max settings). If you've got the dosh and want to wait a bit, the GTX6xx series will be coming out soon, I hear.

Hah! I'm dying to play the Trooper, but it's my LEAST favorite ship. I love the Imperial Agent and Sith Force user ships. Heck, I'd be "satisfied" with the Jedi ships. Guess when it comes to vehicular design I prefer symmetry.

Sith ships have the most annoying and frustrating interior layouts. The Agent's ship has a fantastic layout and is as gorgeous as it looks in the concept art. The Trooper's ship has a very sensible and pleasing layout, as does the BH ship. The Jedi ship is also sensibly laid out, but I hate it; and I haven't unlocked the ship on my Smuggler.

So my Beta starts tommorow . Is the guild set up in beta yet so I can join it?

Imagine living in a household where one (MikeyNY) has an account but not the other (me). How's that for dangling a raw bone in front of a pack of rabid dogs? Totally sucks I can't play with him to experience some of the group content.

Ah well.

When considering any GPU, keep in mind that some games, like STO have a UI that is run solely through your CPU and is Single-threaded. That means that you can have a great quad-core CPU but, since the STO UI is single-threaded, it can't use more than one of the processing cores. This is why you can have the best Video card and a great overall CPU but still get less than thirty FPS in a game.

To test that out in STO, go somewhere, like, ESD.
Type /fpshisto 1 and /fpsgraph 1
Then open your inventory.
Watch your FPS drop...
Now Hide your UI entirely and see the FPS spike up.
