So I just finished King's 11/22/63. It was the first King novel I've read and it seems like it's probably fairly different from a lot of his other works. Either way, I was absolutely hooked on it in a way I have not experienced in years.

I'm having trouble pinpointing exactly what it was about the book that I resonated so much with. It wasn't necessarily the genre. I usually read a wide variety (more fiction than non-fiction but that's about it) but something about the writing style just drew me in and I could actually feel everything going on. A lot of times, I find myself having to slow down because I'll get impatient and start skimming paragraphs but not with this book.

Would anyone re

Ok, so with classic launching in a few hours I really need to try to nail down a class. I won't be hardcore spending time in classic, so I feel like it's important for me to try to focus on one character. I'm trying to pick a character off a mixture of everything, but quality of life is definitely up there. I plan to PvP and PvE.

First up is mage. This was my first planned choice. They seem really good in PvP if you can get skilled and react to everything/predict properly. Good PvE too. Lots of quality of life stuff, like food and portals. Downsides being that I doubt my ability to play PvP mage at it's potential and the leveling is meh.

Warlock. Automatic downside for having to farm soul

I absolutely loved the ending to Game of Thrones. I felt like it encapsulated the "morals" of the story and stayed true to the deep motivation core of every single character. I wanted to explain why I thought this was such a fitting ending because it blows my mind that I could see this show and interpret it so differently from others.

First, I want to start off by saying I definitely found faults with this last season (and some previous seasons but I am focusing on this season). I thought the pacing for the fall of the Night King was jarring and that the subsequent destruction of King's Landing was also oddly paced out. I also wasn't really a huge fan of the way the NK died. My point is tha

Air vehicles are absolutely awful in this mode. It's completely non-engaging for the ground troops. You can't kill one with a hit from the heavy's ion launcher so there's not much point in even trying.

This mode is nothing but people rushing to spawn as air vehicles and then farming as many points as possible so that they can spam hero spawns.

Leave them in a mode of their own and GA will automatically be much better, even without addressing the other issues.

As the title says, the defender advantage is absurd in this game. Not only do most maps favor the defense in terms of how attack has to funnel into the map (even at stage one) but the ticket system means that dying as an attacker is MUCH worse than as a defender, so a 1v1 trade is in the favor of defense.

I rarely, if ever, see evenly matched teams get past the first stage. This is worse on some maps (Endor holy fuck) but overall it is just way too biased towards defending teams.

As the title says, I'm shopping for a new CR-V EX-L without navigation. I've looked at truecar for the average but unfortunately my locals do not have prices listed with truecar. The best truecar deal is about a 2 hour drive away. Without doing more negotiation, that distance dealership offered OTD $31,005.22 although I'm not sure if they calculated that with the right TT&L since I'm in a different state than they are (I'm in FL, they are GA).

My local gave me an OTD quote of $32,118.59 via email (I work afternoon and nights, wife works 9-5 so internet sales is all I can work with for now).

More information time. I've been keeping up with the [CR-V owners club pricing thread](http://ww

I've been shopping around over the past few days. I'm set on the CR-V and I would ideally love to get a new 2017 EX-L but if I can't, there's a 2016 EX-L from Carmax with my name on it, no negotiation required. Knowing I have a backup (even if it is less ideal) means I'm going into the dealership prepared to walk if I can't get something that works.

I've got a truecar quote from a dealership ~one hour away for $29,395 before tax, after fees. I'm hoping to pull my local dealer lower than that and get my OTD to $28,500. My rationale being that my local is already pushing the 2018 CR-V and still has about 5 2017 EX-Ls sitting (not to mention the other trims) but I am worried that I might be ge

I don't really get to play much for this week but I managed to steal two hours away this morning to play unholy DK. It feels really thematically awesome (although I think most of the awesomeness extends to all DKs, not just UH).

What's been your favorite so far?

So my monitors are super old and I've been looking at upgrading from dual 21" monitors to a single 27" monitor. I mainly use my computer for gaming. I currently run a GTX 970 8GB but with the new cards coming out this summer I might be in the market for a card too.

Right now I am deciding between the BenQ XL2720Z and the Asus MG278Q, as they are both priced right around the same point ($350-400 USD) and that's pretty much the most I'm looking to spend right now.

On the one hand, I know how solid the XL2720Z is but I'm skeptical about buying a 1080p monitor so late in the game, so to speak. But the ability to finally break 60hz is a huge deal to me for gaming, and I know that I'll be able t

I'm going to need a new monitor soon as my current one is on death's door. Currently I have two 1080p 60hz displays but I'm thinking about replacing my main screen with a 1440p 144hz display for gaming. I spend the majority of my time gaming on this computer and if I ever need the dual monitors for grading papers I'll just hook my current secondary back up.

So here's the list of choices that I see: List

Right now I'm leaning towards either the BenQ XL2730Z or the Dell S2716DG. That's already a little more than my initial budget but I figure if I am getting a new monitor I might as well ditch 60hz and

Hey everyone, I played back at release and had a 50 sage that I did whatever endgame we had at the time. Dabbled in PvP too but my server pvp horribly favored Empire so that was a giant headache.

I decided to come back because I'm feeling the Star Wars itch and the story really interests me. I always thought the story was the one thing SWTOR did better than any other MMO. I naturally gravitate more towards light side sort of stuff in these games but I'm trying to stick to Empire just in case I want to PvP once I get through the story.

Ok, with that bit of background information here is my dilemma: I made a Juggernaut because I've always liked the style of 1h lightsaber fighting in Star Wa

Just logged in expecting the backend error but I'm looking at the Inn as we speak!
