In February, it'll be three years since I made my legendary rifle. Without going into the minutia of the process I used my vast stores of materials, sold a few investments, and last night I made the new legendary staff, Nevermore. I thought it'd be fun to see how my characters have changed...

False colour landsat image I was playing with Long time no see TAB. I submitted my PhD thesis a couple of weeks ago just started a Post Doc doing the same stuff, and I have a bit of time on my hands right now. Having become a virtual hermit (in both meanings of the term) for the last year, I...

I thought about posting this, but decided not to in case it was distracting from Tristan's endeavour. (EDIT:Thread has been moved.) But since we're already here, organic doesn't mean pesticide free. It means using inferior pesticides that may well be MORE harmful than conventional ones (ALWAYS...

I have been very much enjoying the free-to-play open-beta third-person shooter Warframe. It's a mission based game with up to four players doing co-op missions against one of three factions. Not pictured: the Infected faction Take a look here for some fairly representative in-game...

I am rapidly becoming obsessed with Google Ingress. We first started talking about Augmented Reality (AR) in this thread, but Ingress really is something new and exciting. It's the first popular expression of AR in a game format. Three screen shots from the mobile interface. Source...

This briefly amused me

I don't know if you've noticed, but it's near-impossible to get the same critical chance in PvE than PvP, even with Ascended items. I've been trying damn hard though - and this is the best I can come up with so far. Here it is It's an unconventional build, to be sure, but it combines ends up...

Before: After:

An in-depth look into the legendary process Why did I write this guide? After finishing my legendary rifle, The Predator, I just felt the need to tell my story to other people. Embarking on and completing my legendary was possibly the longest single task I've ever completed in any game to...

I thought I'd get some community opinions on the high-end PvE content in GW2, given that that's both my officer position and my major interest in the game. What is your favorite dungeon? Do you regularly run any dungeons for fun, profit or all 3? How far have your progressed in fractals and...

Here's a useful albeit very cheap trick if you want to lose monster aggro and/or avoid armor repair costs. It's called Alt+F4. No really, if you quit the game/return to character select while your character is still alive, then load your character once more you will return to the game with...
