Father Xmas

Option 1 since it doesn't twist Penny like the future splash screen.

God that happens so much.

Tank - "OK, let me pull off a mob from that very crowded room and once they are clear you can hold them and then everyone can attack them"

Controller(s) - right

Tank - <taunt>

Mob turns and takes one step ...

Controller(s) - spam hold

Tank - em facepalm

If you are looking at the CM 690 II Advance at NewEgg, the loop can be found in the last picture that displays the case, shipping box and all the miscellaneous screws and accessories. The angle isn't all that good, it's above the case/mb speaker, looks like a black rectangle with only a bit of the curve loop visible.

You can see a better picture of it in this review of the case (2nd picture, right hand side, bellow the two rubber fan mounts). The manual lists both the loop and the screw for it in the parts list but fails to show you where and how to install it (probably because all the diagrams already has it installed), but it's pretty obvious if you look closely at the case.

I actually rewatched GL a couple of days ago and it's still better than a number of superhero films. I just think the current Batman is just to hard of an act to follow.

Oh, I forgot, Korra does have a glimpse vision of Aang (with a Lincoln beard).

Word is some older P67/Z68 motherboards won't overclock them. May be a bios issue. Might only be a problem with GigaByte motherboards.

Personally I would wait a month until we see if there's another whoops like the Sandy Bridge chipset problem.

Biggest advantages from all the reviews Monday include very low power usage, slight IPC (instructions per cycle) improvement, PCIe V3 video card interface and a big but still underwhelming boost in it's internal GPU performance with Dx11 support.

Biggest downside is an overclocking issue with heat transfer from the smaller physical core to the heat spreader. Intel supposedly switched to a different way to attach the heat spreader.

Edit: Just check NewEgg and Ivy Bridge now has a filter for Ivy Bridge under all of the Narrow Results tabs.

Thundercats - Kittens Vs Raccoon, Lion-o Vs Pumyra (does the team gain another cat woman?)

Green Lantern - We are introduced to the Star Sapphire Corps with the power of wuv. And Carol does show up.

Young Justice - see other thread. Big news, 5 year time skip, lots of new team members with some old ones now in the JL and the first clue to the missing 16 hours.

DC Nation shorts - Funny as usual. Liked Mad's Teen Titanic.

The Legend of Korra - I think we got our fourth team member, Asami, but she's also a love interest for Mako. Her power is bending money from her wealthy dad.

Upside, Zatanna is all grown up. Downside she's league now so we probably won't see her that much.

Five year time skip was a shock. Obviously "The Light"'s is playing a long game.

Some women look good with short hair, sadly Miss Martian isn't one of them IMO.

It's nice to see they've expanded the team, a lot.

Sometimes it happens when the Internet burps. Don't worry about it, unless some of your characters have vanished.

The Socket 1155 CPUs have an internal GPU which is a reason that (I'm assuming you have a Z68 or Z77 motherboard) has all those video connectors. The Ivy Bridge top end internal GPU, the Intel HD4000, is finally on par with a nVidia GT 520.

I run Avira active and do a full system scan with it, SUPERAntiSpyware, SpyBot S+D and MalwareBytes once a week.

I think the Johnny Sokko dubs have slipped into public domain so we get an 9th generation tape of the series on Hulu.

Yes Macross was the least rewritten but imagine someone overseas took V, Buck Rodgers and Battlestar Galactica (the original) and merge them into a single series.

Knightsabers, ADPolice, etc are examples of power armor and not piloted mecha or Gundam size robot.

Yes but baby chimpanzees are soooo CUTE. Also which film would you take your young children to, the one with slapstick violence or CUTE baby monkey.

Last week's episode added another "new" universe. Even though the episode was set in 2036 it's apparent that the team time skipped from a universe that's different still than any of the ones we've seen so far. At least they showed a seemingly young William Bell trapped in Amber.

Also Walter with a fixed brain is very, very scary. Angry Doctor scary.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Illusion Controller and maybe I didn't make myself clear in my meaning. I only have three controllers in my stable the other two being Gravity. These were created in the days of Issue 2 and 3, pre difficulty slider, XP debt to the max, no IOs, the Hollows opposite corner runs and Perez maze runs were standard, no vet powers, leveling was slow and characters were inf poor until level 35.

Compared to damage oriented ATs, controllers as an AT are slow. Yes SW does enormous damage but a significant chunk will get healed back unless you defeat your target within 10 seconds. Both SW and Blind have longer recharges then other Tier 1+2 controller attacks. Again SW and Blind are your only two attacks in the set. If you are use to damage attack chains from your primary this set can be troublesome.

Which is why I emphasis Deceive. Yes it eats a little bit of XP, unless you simply let them defeat each other rather than helping them along. Anecdote: Was on a team doing the trial/TF in the Hollows. Final room, the team leader was porting players to their alcoves and when it got to me he noticed my pillar was rather crowded by spectral everything. Two bosses, a handful of lieutenants and some minions. The leader went back to the front of the alcove and started to port the other players to mine to help the "poor controller" clear his pillar, he didn't ask if I needed help. By the time he was done there was one boss left, badly damaged and just to show off I went down and finished it off with brawl (I was still keeping it deceived). The team wondered aloud why the leader ported everyone there. A combination of SI, extended range SW, Blind, heavily recharged Deceive and one PA to hold initial aggro let me turn them against one another and let me finish most of them in under two minutes with little threat to myself. Deceive was key in this situation since it let me "recruit" lieutenants and bosses to wipe each other enough that a single SW and an occasional Blind was enough to finish them. The minions were mostly one punched by the bosses.

Sorry I misremembered what Flash did, hold not sleep. The only time I had it, I think I was in Steel by then, it was very disappointing. I clearly remember times setting it off in oh **** moments and nobody got held and I was quickly defeated. Long cast time didn't help matters. I was probably still using TOs at that point. Was not impressed and I respec out of it the first chance I got.

On the other hand, getting back on topic, Superior Invis was a Godsend. Getting to a mission door in Perez park maze with large mobs of clocks +3 to you or kitty-corner in the Hollows deep in CoT territory was a breeze. And endurance problems, we all get Stamina now at level 2 and what enhancement other than end reduct are you planning on slotting in it, defense? Since defense is Class B, 3 SOs could give you only 7% defense instead of 4.5%, half once discovered. Not a lot of bang for the buck.

I periodically duo with a D3. We are both mid to high 30s. When I have my Phantasm out its not even fair, we have to crank up the difficulty beyond what he can comfortably solo just to make it interesting. Since neither of us a melee specialists, the knockback from Phantasm isn't a concern.

I end up rarely use PA except on EBs, GMs and AVs. PA may be great for minion cleanup otherwise it's simply to draw aggro. And since I'm not an IO master with deep pockets, a market master or AE farmer, I don't have perma anything on anyone.

I find playing with characters that are limited, by endurance, by recharge, by defense by regen, a lot more interesting than characters that I can simply flail my attack chain from mob to mob without worry.

High RPM centrifuge?

The GTX 555 is an OEM card. It appears to be a GTX 560 cut down to only 288SP (from 336) and 48 Texture units (from 56) and 24 raster operators (from 32) with a 192-bit bus (from 256-bit). Should be a bit faster than a GTX 550Ti.
