I'd have to add my voice to the "Avoid Alienware" crowd. They're expensive and not very Upgrade-Friendly.

That $2000 would be MUCH better spent on building a computer yourself. If you can't build it yourself then get a tech savvy friend to do it. If you don't have any computer geek friends available, then you could even pay to have Best Buy's Geek Squad to build it for you, although their abilities range from 'They did it just fine' all the way down to 'a blind quadriplegic monkey could have done better' and they are pricey.

If I didn't have my dad to build my computer for me I'd probably go to Geek Squad, I'm paranoid about even TOUCHING computer parts for one very good if really odd reason.

My body acts like an anti-technological field. I can't use wireless devices (mice, keyboards and even phones) under a certain power range or they just DIE when near me. Also when I was a teenager my dad was teaching me to build a computer and was going to have me install the whole thing bit by bit. He bought a brand new 1gig drive, the biggest on the market at the time and handed it to me. I felt a jolt of electricity pass through me, and when I installed it the entire drive was dead. It's like I took a huge magnet to the whole thing and fried it from front to back. And the thing is I had already de-shocked myself by touching some metal before grabbing it! Just 'pfft', gone.

Executive Meddling and Network Decay continue to chip away at what once was a great science fiction channel.

It's gotta be a problem with how ambushes work. They've been getting out of hand as of late.

On a new alt I made when GR went live I was able to call the starting contact in Atlas, so I called him and got my next mission, Hunt 5 Clockwork.

Ok, I close the window and figure since I'm already on a roof in the warehouse district of Atlas, I'll find them quick.

I'm then ambushed by 13 Clockwork! I was lucky that a lvl40 Defender was flying by and healed me as I fought for my life. They were all even con Minions and Lts, but for a Hunt 5? Why would I be ambushed by thirteen of them suckers?

I wasn't running around grabbing aggro, I was alone on a rooftop after taking down a few Hellions since I was close to leveling. It didn't level me, but it was close so that's why I called for the next mission.

I'm not sure what I can do for most of my characters.

My main is a Dark Defender, and his build is kinda tight for slots to make sure his powers all work at their best. There's a couple slots I could move around so I could take some Leadership (Assault and Maneuvers are always great choices), but the third power? I already got Hasten, I really REALLY don't want to take Black Hole. Although there is the self rez in Dark Mastery, and that wouldn't really need slots, so I could go with that.

Kinda nice idea too, team wipe? Self rez - team rez - and we're back in action quick.

But due to my altitus, I have somewhere around 100 characters spread across the servers; that's a lot of builds that would need fine tuning. Especially for those who have tight builds slot-wise or those that wouldn't be able to take much of anything that would fit their character/concept.

I'm half elated about Fitness becoming inherent and half dreading the work it'd take to use it.

A lot of the time my character's name is their name, or a slight variation thereof.

For instance, my ninja/ninja Stalker is Kaito Kiana (since he's the adopted son of my main, Shadow Kiana) while his Praetorian version is a dark magic Stalker, so he's named Twilight Kaito.

One of my most used web sources isn't a thesaurus, but an http://www.dicts.info/2/english-japanese_romaji.php dictionary (the site also covers many other languages).

An example was an evil uncle to my sweetheart's character, I needed a first name, so I put in 'uncle' into the search field and I saw "uncle (younger than one's parent), shukufu" and I though 'Hey, he's younger than his brother, so that works. I'll just cut it down to Shuku and we've got his name'

After naming some of my pets, I found their names changing at times. For instance, I've used 3 letter names for my Thug MM's thugs, but a 4 letter name for the arsonist.

After some fighting and the arsonist constantly dying, he somehow inherited one of the Thug's names, and the thug took the arsonists.

Usually this fixes itself after another death/resummon, but I'd kinda like their default names to be back. I tried putting in Thug, Thug and Arsonist, but when putting in the second Thug, it cancels the name change saying it's an 'invalid name, try another'.

So far, I haven't found anything in the guides and a quick search comes up zip; so I'm asking here.

How can I undo my name changes and put their names back to their factory default?

I can't remember the spell's name, but I know there's a D&D spell somewhere for use in Good alignment necromancy. You summon the spirit of the person to inhabit the corpse for a time to help right a wrong and help them find peace afterwards.
