No Mage nerfs at least, they were definitely too weak in Arena Kappa.

Snap chat worth at least 3-4 billion of the social sharing market (google and facebook offered). It's doing something right.

First versions of Deadwood, Lich, and Magmus were pretty good.

Great deals as usual, but I've stopped buying them because they just end up in my backlog. They're definitely worth the price though.

RIP in Peace best modded servers.

Just like platypus said. Carefully back up everything you want. Format hard drive. Reinstall from scratch. I would never recommend trying to "repair" a hard drive when it's much safer to restart everything.

Honestly don't want to get the expo anymore. I know they've gotten rid of the spam 3 button crit builds, but I doubt it's Path of Exile complex character building (especially Paragon, where you just get X stat). Also seems like buffing Legendaries just makes rares the new magic drops depending on late game drop rates. Account bound stuff makes it worse (though hopefully they change it), as taking out economy from an ARPG seems weird.

Experiences vary. Seems like a great deal for Cherry Red's at $25, but the reviews say that problems start happening. Just a risk you take just like with older Sandforce SSD's. Could get a good quality one, could get a shit one and have to RMA.

Anybody here do races? Aside from dumb deaths in Sins I'm pretty good at them (Descent/D:Champs/Endless Ledge). Generally play Duelist. Also, Spectral Throw is a pretty broken ability.

Any server can be technically exploited that's not CEVO's. Just having someone monitoring the server/checking for class changes and everything is a potential problem. Everything else though can generally by caught with demos (demos log all commands so you'd probably be able to tell, though I wouldn't guarantee it if it can be done remotely).

It used to be check if someone played 25 or 40 hours of TF2, and you had to make your profile public for that duration. Steam hides account creation date and all that other stuff so stopping alts takes some extra work. Though I'd never want a manual queue.

Pie Food thread.

I've never had a meat pie, but I like apple pie because it's a "safe" pie. I needa try more types other than lemon meringue and pumpkin pie stuff.

Can you guys even read my post? If you don't blanket ban all plugins, you're allowing people to use exploit plugins UNLESS they create a signature system like valve does and sign each OpenPlugin version as it comes out. And god forbid an update comes out that needs a new signature, and people complain they can't use the new OpenPlugin because it wasn't signed by CEVO yet. Or I use the OpenPlugin dll and during run time replace it in stack with my own code.

What exactly is stopping me from getting the OpenPlugin source and making into a real cheat? Heck, what's stopping me from taking the spectate plugin and toggling it to work while I'm not in spectate mode? Plugins are cheats until they get signed by valve (like P-REC), so why disable VAC just for people to force more verification and system checks through CEVO?

tl;dr Allowing OpenPlugin makes the anti cheat more complicated and likely more vulnerable.

Openplugin is a cheat though, you could see through walls with a high enough FoV. If you made your own plugin version of it, you could toggle it during matches. Also, you would have to disable VAC to enable the plugin, which a lot of people like to have just to filter out the known hackers (in addition to the AC client).

I remember dropping Zone Alarm for the same reason.
