    You and your Parser: The Scientific Method

    Osse, you have done a great thing today. You deserve a medal. Thanks for posting this. I've been trying to tell people for ages now, but few people care enough to be as formal as this. I've been using it when parsing things for ages, and the more people that know it and understand it, the...

    Yes. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. That show rocks. The first episode is frigging hilarious, too. It gets you hooked right away. =D

    I've got to give Death Note my stamp of approval. No, not a lot of action, but the intrigue is actually good. If you're wondering that it'll be an anime with no action, but its plot will still be pretty plain, that's far from the truth. To be honest I thought that to begin with, and the start of...

    Ah, I love that series. It's funniest if you've actually seen the original FMP season though. I think it's best when you know how the characters interact already, and then Fumoffu blows it up to the most extreme limit. =P I've got to agree with you. It was quite a golden age for anime that...

    How is my base attack calculated?

    Actually, since I didn't add it in, but I think it should be mentioned. Defense was arguably the most difficult to determine: Defense = 8 + main job level + (main job level - 50) + VIT/2 + def traits + def abilities + def gear + food effects Now, the second term << (main job level - 50) >>...

    My Day

    Hey there Kinkerbelle. It's been a while! No, I really couldn't bring myself to read all of that. My mother's a nurse so I get enough of it as it is. My brain shuts off when she starts talking in medical terminology, and I'm pretty sure hers turns off when I start talking engineering. We...

    RL Pictures..... post em if ya got em

    Ah, what the hell. I never posted my picture when I played way back in the day but I might as well actually join the community and such. As if anyone will ever view it on the 139th page anyway lol. Here's me! And the Golden Wonder, Sophie: Yup, so, hey everyone. As I say, I'll be back in...

    PC help

    Looks like a good deal to me. Getting a machine that can handle running FFXI reasonably well for basically $200 is pretty awesome. Good to hear that you're getting that extra RAM. 768 ought to do. It's not a lot, but FFXI isn't much of a RAM hog anyway, so I wouldn't worry about having more RAM...

    I havn't watched any further than season 3 so far, but I've found that the quality of the show and its plot cohesion in general has been getting worse and worse. It's cool to watch if you don't think about it much, but some of the plot twists are so jarring that they just leave a ton of loose...

    Need help with Essay

    I'd agree with Excalibur on this one. If you need to keep using connecting words, then you're making your sentenses too long and flashy. Sometimes a brand new sentence is the way to go. When you have to use connecting words like that, try to think of synonyms to hide it from your reader so they...

    How is my base attack calculated?

    Technically it's not... I mean there are people out there who parse for hours and days and months to prove these numbers, but the amount of raw data and statistics that needs to go into such a proof is plainly disgusting and I want nothing to do with it. At the very least, if you're dealing...

    How is my base attack calculated?

    There is presumably a base accuracy of 8 as well, but I don't know if that's ever been said for sure. I do know that there was a long period of argument about accuracy issues because there was no way to actually check your character's accuracy. SE eventually admitted that your accuracy is based...

    Actually, yeah. They have awesome deals. I buy from them all the time. I don't know why I didn't say it myself. Gool call Aither.

    PC help

    Well, as it's been mentioned, an AGP video card is the way to go for a machine like that. Stock Intel graphics are to be feared and shunned. I'm certain you could find a decent ATI or nVIDIA card for around $100 that will easily handle FFXI without serious slowdowns nowadays. The extra RAM is...

    Getting Started.

    I don't know anything about what Gilgamesh is like, but I have to agree that Quetz does have a pretty tight community in general. A lot of people know one another here. If you're just starting into the game, as hard as it may seem to throw out the progress you've made so far, you might want to...

    Hi

    I'd rather have people asking retarded questions than assuming retarded answers. It pays off. Welcome to Quetz, Quab.

    Hey Evanos! Hey Blaze! Nice to see you guys too. I'm currently trying to update POL to check my content ID is secure, but my school internet is absolute crap and it keeps failing. I never thought a POL update would be estiamted to take 8 hours and 500 retries, but thanks to the University of...

    Count on my return come summer.

    I'm sure I've seen you around as both Neophytal and Rones. I'm think I merited with you as Rones at least once, now that I think about it. So, nice to see you again. I'll be glad to be back. =)

    Count on my return come summer.

    Your name seems familiar too. I'm sure we've probably partied together. I played since NA PC release up until about july 2006, so if we havn't at least partied together then something strange in going on. =P Edit: Actually, after thinking about it... You know Alexxia, right? I'm pretty sure I...

    Count on my return come summer.

    I know not that many people on this board know me all that well, but I figured I'd make the announcement... Once april begins and the University school year ends, I'll be back to my old WAR ways. I said I'd be gone for good, but I think what I really needed was to just see the other side of life...
