This handgun was printed with a $1,725 Lulzbot 3D printer and fired for the first time above. One plastic barrel survived eight shots, and another barrel was swapped in for the ninth, before nightfall cut short further testing.
Thoughts on this anyone? I personally think its pretty cool, and this is just a prototype, and designs will only improve from here on out.

The traditional MMORPG teams are boring, they all play the exact same way and there is nothing new or challenging repeatedly playing a game according to that setup. Things get more interesting when you aren't locked into a specific team combination required to win. A game I used to play called City of Heroes, traditional team requirements were out the window in that game. Unless you were taking on a Arch Villain, which was pretty much = to a raid boss, you didn't really need a tank or healer. And you only needed a tank in AV fights because they could 1hko non-tanks. And there was a class called Controller, who could mitigate threat with holds, stuns, sleep, and then grab a heal or support role as secondary. That was the first MMO I played that did something completely out of the box.

Try turning the settings down to medium, and lowering the resolution. Play it like that and see if it crashes or not. Honestly your CPU is really old, and there is probably a stability issue with you stressing your already old rig to its limits.

First time I saw one I actually got rofl pwned. They're actually quite powerful if they hit you. If you are lower level and don't have a lot of health they can easily 1hko you.

My current mouse has seen its better days, and I need a new one. I'm hoping for some suggestions.

Woah, I guess I'm gonna pass on it then. Especially about what I heard about the mechanics. Yeah that definitely sounds broken. You can't have an effective MMORPG team when tanks can't even tank and healers can't even heal without getting all the aggro.
I read some replies on other forums about the game, and people are saying Warriors are underpowered, can't tank, can't DPS as good as the others. Clerics are able to tank better than warrior, and DPS better than warrior, etc.
But to be fair though, Clerics were always very good in NWN games, one of the best all-round classes actually.

Go with something like this for a SL 100 mage:

The pursuers + bow combo is really good. Most people panic when you got pursuers up, and then you can pressure them with a bow while pursuers are chasing them. You could use a chaos +5 comp bow instead if you want a different damage type. You can also swap the bow out and parry someone with your shield if they try and rush you down while you're shooting a bow. -
Out of curiousity, is this free to play, or pay to win?

If you got a PS3/360, there is a game called Nier, its a decent ARPG. You can buy it used for like $10. I played it recently and thought it was OK. My biggest criticism was for how many fetch quests they stuffed in the game, and that playing the game without doing those was really short. Of course, I didn't do the fetch quests so I was done with the game in about 15 hours.
The boss battles were pretty well done, and actually required you use your brain, and the general combat mechanics were decent. The game was reasonably challenging.

For consoles:
Chrono Trigger
Wild Arms series
Suikoden
PC:
Xcom: Enemy Unknown - loved the sound track and battle music.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were the last ones that left me with a good impression. The game is intence, especially invading someones world and killing them. I don't normally like PVP in games but enjoyed it in both of those games. If you get backstabbed too much by invaders, its only because you're bad at the game.

You can easily go 3 years without upgrading if you got a mid-range GPU, and solid CPU. I got crossfire 6970s and I'm not gonna have to upgrade for a few more years at least, and this rig is already 2 years old. I might get 5 years out of it.

I never understood why WoW was so popular. There was nothing in particular about that game that shined in any way IMO. A lot of people said vanilla WoW was what was the best; well that is the part I had issues with. The early content was just bad. Terrible in fact. At no point was the game challenging, just boring and monotonous. When I played it was before they had things like dungeon finder, and it was incredibly difficult to get on a decent team, and it seemed like nobody needed DPS and wanted a healer, or if you were a certain type of DPS like Hunter that made it even less likely you'd get a team. The few teams I got were a terrible unorganized mess, and nobody did what they were supposed to do right and things never went well. And this was basic MMORPG strategy; do's and don'ts. Mages couldn't understand why they couldn't just sit there and spam AOEs and just because there is a tank in the middle they shouldn't ever get aggro - period, or the tank is just a bad tank. Nor did they understand that it took the tank a few attacks to build up aggro. It was just incredibly frustrating trying to play a game with people that stupid.

All I know is I'm getting better FPS than you, with higher settings, and your GPUs are a little bit better than mine, I think, or about equal. The biggest difference between us is CPU and I'm using an I5 2500k OC'd to 4.5ghz which is a pretty decent overclock. Around 30%.
What resolution are you running at? I'm running at 1920 x 1080. If you're running a higher resolution than me then that could be the problem.
Also, here is a benchmark:
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/11/06/amd-fx-8350-review/6
The numbers are skewed a little bit to compensate for overclocks, but clock for clock the I5 2500k still handily beats the 8350 in Skyrim. In fact a stock clock I5 2500k running at 3.3ghz beats an overclocked 8350 running at 4.8ghz. No offense but that is getting owned pretty hard.
And they are using a GTX 690 which is a pretty monster GPU. So its no way comparable to the results me and you are getting, like dips in the swamp which probably don't happen with a GTX 690 with 4gbs of Vram.
Considering our GPUs are pretty close to as powerful, or yours being a little better, then only difference between us is CPU power. I got 16gbs of DDR3 ram, but I don't think that will impact skyrim performance in any meaningful way.
Basically, try overclocking your CPU. If you don't know how there is a good forums that can help you its called overclock.net. They helped me OC my I5 2500k. -
Honestly the A10 5800k is a great APU for a budget rig, and you can play a lot of the newer games on high settings with it. My brother built a $450 PC using that APU and I was shocked at how good it was for the price. And its overclockable, just buy a $25 after market CPU cooler, because it does run a little bit hot.

Just because you got double the cores doesn't technically mean you got double the processing power. Nor does it mean Skyrim even uses those extra cores you got over an I5 quad core. If someone has a CPU like an I5 2500k, or 3570k it outperforms your AMD in most games, unless they they are heavily multithreaded, and Skyrim isn't. Skyrim is dual threaded, which means your 8 cores count for nothing vs an Intel I5 quad core.
I get FPS drops in the swamp area mostly, and the FPS drops change immediately depending on my field of view. Its a strange drop, and I never found a solution for it and pretty much had to just deal with it in certain spots. Other than drops to 35fps or so in the swamp area I stayed pegged at 60fps. Also forgot to mention that my skyrim is heavily modded with texture packs. And definitely is above maximum vanilla settings.
Skyrim is also heavily in CPU usage, because it uses the CPU to render shadows, which are an absolute atrocity in this game. You might want to try overclocking your CPU. I know the difference in OCing my I5 2500k to 4.5ghz eliminated most of the dips below 60FPS entirely except for the swamp area.
**Edit, the swamp area is a GPU bottleneck, because its using 100% of my crossfire 6970s and all 2gbs of my Vram. I've heard of people using as much as 2.8gbs of Vram in Skyrim heavily modded. I think its the fog in that swamp area that is torturing my GPUs.

Billyro you might like Monster Hunter series. In a way its sorta like Dragon's Dogma, but its far more grindy and the fights are quite a bit more drug out. Like your average monster takes 15 minutes to drop, and I hear a few can take 45 minutes. I personally don't like Monster Hunter, but a lot of people do. They got a few games for the PSP, or if you got a 3DS or Wii-U you can get the newest one. Or there is Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii.

Its the generic happy endings that bore me. Because life isn't just about happy endings.
-
The higher Vram with the 7950 makes it more future proof. The next gen consoles are getting ready to come out and that will impact minimum system specs for a lot of PC games due to them being console ports. Which means its safe to say a lot of games are going to start using more Vram in the near future.

I purchased a 64GB SSD when prices were still $150 for those. They've dropped considerably since.
If you get a Z68 or Z77 intel board you can use an SSD as a cashing device and use a mechanical HDD along with it. In which case a 64GB SSD would keep your OS + most used programs on it, and cycle them out automatically for programs you use more. You don't need a huge SSD to take advantage of that and its a considerable speed increase over a mechanical HDD.
If I was going to do a PC with no mechanical HDD and just SSD, it would have to be at least 256gb, and then you can always use a portable USB 3.0 drive to put your less important stuff on.

Personally this game is more fun if I just make weapons with gibbed editor and run around and blow stuff up.
I recently started as Zero, but used gibbed editor to start in TVHM at level 50 with mobs scaled up to level 50 at the start. Going full sniper is actually sorta tough vs large groups of mobs its really not that great. Grenades help a ton in those sticky situations.

Also it seems like you can't buy anything in there without them asking you at least 3 times if you want to buy a gamestop rewards card, and twice if you want to preorder a game. Asking someone multiple times after they said no the first time is being rude and pestering, I don't care how you want to spin it. I would buy games from ANYWHERE else that sells them before I'd go to gamestop.

I never liked gamestop, or their customer service, or their business practices.
I went in to purchase a game and I asked for a new copy, and this guy has the nerve to hand me a disk in a paper sleeve with no box or manual and call it "new" just because its never been played. My first response was "Are you serious?". I asked him how he could define a game with no box or manual as "new". Uh, its never been played he said. According to them it was the last copy they had, and they had the box out as a display but gave the box and manual with another copy, BUT its still a "new" game. In a way I found it comical that they even had the audacity to sell that as "new". But, that is typical gamestop. If that is how they do business, well its a freaking joke. And from the way the OP is describing their online store, I wouldn't expect any less. Now what would happen if you purchased a "new" game online and had it mailed and they sent you a game in a paper case without the original case in its factory wrapping? Would anyone else be pissed? I know I would.

I can't download anything here either. I tried downloading the HD texture mods for skyrim here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/607//?
The downloads always stop prematurely, or give me a size mismatch error if I use downthemall.
I tried to download on 3 different browsers and 2 computers. Downloads are always failing today. I'm 100% sure its nothing on my end considering others are having the same problem.
Neither NMM or manual downloads are working for me.
