Allergies can not be cured sadly, sniff :sad: :sad:

 

 

I agree, that it is likely very true, allergies cannot be cured.

 

But if what effects you causing you an allergic reaction is no where near you, you won't suffer from your reactions to it.

Check something out for me would you? Next time you start getting sniffles and such tell me if the wind around your area is gusting, breezy, gentle, or dying down when you notice the allergic reactions starting?

 

I just wonder if there are signs that would alert you so you could prepare a little and wear a simple cotton dust mask for a short time to reduce the particles getting in your face.

 

For dust around the house I keep a humidifier on. I use the settings: Warm for humidity and the low 1 for the fan. Keeps the dust from floating around inside the house to a minimum.

Hey Billyro, congrats on your mod getting into the hot files!
Not something easy to do with how busy the Skyrim portion of the Nexus is.

Everything talks back.

 

You just need to listen really hard.

I probably talk to things too much already, I shouldn't try to hear them. :tongue:
"Guh! Laptop what're you doing!?"
"Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrr..."

I bought new boxer shorts underwear, it's the first time I actually tried boxers on and I like them a lot.

 

They give my crotch area a new sense of freedom.

 

It's kind of like being naked, but with clothes on.

 

Not really good for a student dorm though, as soon as I sit down the freedom gets a bit out of control.

 

 

So my short review of boxer shorts:

Lots of freedom +

Good to seduce boyfriend when I sit down +

Bad for everyone else when I sit down -

 

Overall rating: 8/10, need to buy more

Whoa, I didn't even realise that. No wonder it got so many comments overnight! :laugh:

Which category was it under??

[billyro]

The animal and creature one, though it's on the front page at the moment so you can see it there.

 

 

Anyway, today I've been playing a bit of ArcheAge, and it's a decent game. This is what I think about it:

 

1. The character creation is quite good, except once you get in-game you look nothing like what you created due to the lighting system. Also, due to the lighting, all NPCs look too similar. EDIT: Well, actually, it's the shaders that cause the characters to look same-ish - setting them to low makes characters much more distinguished.

2. The combat is a bit iffy (auto-attacks) but at least it's not boring. EDIT: It becomes kind of enjoyable after a while. It's similar to Dragon Age 2's combat.

3. The community, from what I've seen so far, is comprised of 3 people: the lore-mongers, the MMO crowd, and the griefers (people who just want to destroy everything).

4. When you talk to an NPC, it plays this weird jungle-themed music in the background for no apparent reason.

5. The intro sequence builds up this massive war in your mind, but then dumps you into an empty landscape. EDIT: It appears that the first location is also the worst location - places you visit later on are much more appealing.

6. People spam the chat-box with websites where you can buy "legitimate" in-game money.

7. It takes a long time to connect to the servers, though this may just be because of Australian internet.

8. There is only one sound effect your character makes when he/she gets hit, and this repetitiveness is jarring.

9. From the looks of it, the game will be a pay-to-win type game, where those who fork out real money can afford the best equipment. EDIT: While this still stands true, it's not too punishing to those who don't cough up.

10. The graphics are decent on mid settings, but it feels bland. EDIT: Again, this was my initial opinion because the starting area was indeed quite bland. Different areas are much better.

11. Music is unconventional and... better when it's muted. EDIT: Yes, definitely mute the music.

12. Confusing controls at the start, though luckily they're configurable to a degree. ESO's controls were bliss in comparison to this game's, however.

13. Chat messages can come from anywhere in the entire world from the looks of things, so it's difficult to talk to a player who's right next to you. EDIT: I didn't realise that when you said something, the dialogue pops up over your head.

14. The developers really talked up the game's player-driven world, though I've yet to see anything of the sort. EDIT: Perhaps this becomes available later on.

15. My male character looks feminine due to plastic-looking skin (probably thanks to the lighting engine again). EDIT: Problem with the shaders - lowering their quality fixed this.

16. It's free to play.

 

I'm not a fan of MMOs though, which is probably the reason I don't have any particular urge to play it that much.

 

 

EDIT: Alright, after playing for a few more hours, I'm going to update my opinions. My new amendments will be in green.

Lol, Ryse: Son of Rome is coming out on PC now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/302510/

 

So much for being Xbox exclusive. Oh well, I suppose Microsoft own both Windows and Xbox so I doubt they care.
