Star Wars and a dated concept of futuristic.

But we're arguing semantics right now of a made up society. Im not arguing what the poeple in the Star Wars universe are doing im arguing what the people that made the Star Wars movies did at their time, but honestly I think it would be pointless to comtinue to debate this because anything made 30 years ago will always look dated by modern standards.
Star Wars and a dated concept of futuristic.
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
Let me illustrate my point a little better, looking at Star Wars after being exposed to more modern Sci-Fi is kind of like looking at a Camry from the 70's right next to the newer 2012 model, they function the same way but one definitely LOOKS older. you can't be like "Oh they look the same." because they don't and I think majority of people if they were given a choice between the two they would choose the 2012 because it looks better.
PS. I have no other issues with Star Wars I too enjoy it from time to time and I think I might buy this game I just find it dificult to get immersed because it looks like it was made in the 70's and it was.

General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
I should clarify, it's concept of advanced technology looks dated.

General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
Now I am about to say some things which people might consider trolling but I assure you I am not, just pointing out something that turns me off to the entire Star Wars universe. Star Wars was made way back in the 70s and it's visual concept of what is futurisitc is kind of dated by today's standards. Now I know Star Wars is not the future but a galaxy far far away but you get what I mean. These days I would consider Mass Effect futuristic in it's visual style. The fact Star Wars looks so dated makes it dificult to enjoy anything from that universe including this game. Anybody else feel this way or am I just wierd?
Only reason i'm not buying this game.

I put this together on Newegg. It's a pretty good gaming computer, it will last you for a while. There is definitely places you can cut corners to make it cheaper like the hard drive and power supply, but I went for something thats kind of cheap and pretty damn good. Kind of funny/creepy that the price after mail in rebates is $666 lol.

PS. They don't have to replace the current controls and UI, you woudln't be able to play it on console without it, all people are saying is a second set for PC players to use would be nice.
Has anyone been able to get a group yet?
General Discussion « Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
I feel exactly the same way. I shout a question, not a single response. I don't think you can manipulate the map. And the UI is everyones biggest gripe.
For a suposed next gen MMO it lacks a lot of features which were established in the previous generations of MMOs. I would like to give SE credit because it's not easy making a game but it still feels like everyone who helped make this game did it blindfolded. What I mean is im surprised they didn't do researche in what makes MMOs streamlined. I applaud the innovation, the MMO market definitely needs it, but they overlooked some general things that make an MMO easy to play, and when I say play I mean Controls and UI, im not talking about difficulty so don't accuse me of wanting a WoW clone.
In the end it feels like they forgot to ask people how they like to manipulate their game.
Kinda upset ... (the FFXIV complaint list)
General Discussion « Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
I agree with everything you said, I also want to add that even the patcher is as buggy as the game, I mean a laggy mouse while patching the game, come on, thats just ridiculous, and don't even get me started on the patchers port issues. I had to use my torrent program to download the updates then paste them into the patcher directory because the patcher isn't capable of doing what it's designed for.
I played and loved FFXI and it had it's issues but I still loved it. I was hopping that they were gonna fix those issues in FFXIV but it looks like just like they made more, I mean is some streamlining for PC gamers too much to ask for.
On another note, is anyone else getting that "render bubble" effect where shurbs and bushes are loading in a bubble around you as you walk and sometimes you can see them loading in the distance. Really annoying. Another thing this game desperately needs, optimization, I have a Quad Core Core i7 at 2.8 GHz, 4 Gigs of RAM at 1600 MHz, and a GTX 470, I should not be having the issues I am having.
I had really high hopes for this game but it looks like the game won't be what I hopped it was going to be, as you can tell by the hype meter, it's out of the top five.

Now those are the kinds of images I was trying to find, but it's really hard to find, and a new video on YouTube is more rare than finding a diamond in a pond lol. Thank you for those great screenshots. If they would allow for some new media to come out I think that might lower the hate a little lol, get people a little excited. When I saw the screenshots on this site I thought to myself "Jesus, this is depressing" I know it's a "Dark Age" game but I think they had forests during the Dark Ages lol.

Judging from the screenshots the environments in this game feel really bland and colorless. I love all the unique mechanics that are in the game, I just hope that in the end product the environments are going to have some more life and color. I mean all I can see is a vast grassy expanse with just a few trees dotting the landscape, and in my opion that is really boring. Like I said in the title this isn't a hate thread so can we please avoid the flaming and trolling, thank you.
PS. Oh yeah, why does everything have a brown tint?

Favorite summer sandwich recipes?
I'm eating lunch at home a lot this summer, and I like to keep things simple and light. But I'm getting bored with my standby sammies. So, I'm looking for your fave sandwiches that involve little cooking.
One of my current faves is Grilled Prosciutto-Mozzarella-Fig Jam on whole wheat Italian bread, adapted from a Chow recipe.
Have anything new for me to try? I'll report back on the ones I make.
Some veggie--not vegan--options. The classic Southern favorite: tomato and a bit of good mayo. I also like:
Good peanut butter with sprouts and cucumbers.
Boursin with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, arugula, sprouts.
Over easy egg with tomato, lettuce, and onion.
Cheddar, avocado, lettuce, tomato, sprouts, sunflower seeds, and chipotle-spiked mayo.
My faves are:
grilled or roasted portobellas, garnished like cheeseburgers with cheddar, tomato or roasted red pepper, arugula and mayo or pesto on the bun or roll;
salami, provolone, rr peppers, arugula w/ mayo or pesto or chimichurri mayo
roast pork loin sliced thin, dill pickles, swiss and mustard, grilled or panini style like a cubano medianoche;
turkey breast, boursin, tomato, onion sprouts & whole grain bread.
Pulled Pork or Shredded BBQ Chicken. Cook it on Sunday and have sandwiches all week. Just a minute in the microwave to warm the meat before you artisticaly arrange in on the bun, slather with sauce or add a scoop of cole slaw, and pig out!
re: cheesecake17
My favorite summer sandwich is a slight variation on yours. I roast Vidalias with the peppers in fig vinegar, instead of mushrooms. The carmelized juices mix with the pesto and goat cheese are are just heavenly.
That sounds delicious! My favorite standby sandwich for all seasons is a good French bread drizzled with olive oil and balsamic, served with tomato, mozzarella and basil. Sometimes I'll add some proscuitto or pesto spread to keep it from getting boring!
Good Italian bread with hot (spicy) capicola, rare roast beef and brie cheese with tomato and mayonnaise.
Right now, for just a few rarefied weeks, my favorite "summer" sandwich is the good ole BLT, with fresh local tomatoes. My only tweaks to tradition are multi-grain bread and I really do prefer arugula to the traditional iceberg. Call me an elitist, but it's just how my tastebuds work. And Hellman's.
re: Old Spice
I love it with arugula, also! Love the bitter bite with the sweet ripe tomato.... making blts now!
When my garden is overflowing with cucumbers I slice them lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and fill with tuna salad. Very refreshing bread-less sandwich!

Finland Long-Term Ratings Lowered To 'AA+' On Weak Economic Growth By S&P; Outlook Stable
- We have revised downward our assessment of Finland's economic growth prospects, as we believe that continuing subdued external demand adds to structural economic and demographic challenges.
- The weaker economic backdrop will further complicate efforts to consolidate public finances and reduce public debt, in our view.
- We are therefore lowering our long-term sovereign credit ratings on the Republic of Finland to 'AA+' from 'AAA'.
- The outlook on the long-term ratings is stable.
France Outlook Revised To Negative By S&P; 'AA/A-1+' Ratings Affirmed
- In our view, the French government's budgetary position is deteriorating in light of France's constrained nominal and real economic growth prospects.
- We believe that, due to policy implementation risk related to the budgetary consolidation and structural reforms, a recovery of the French economy could prove elusive and that France's public finances might deteriorate beyond 2014, although this is not our base-case scenario.
- As a result, we are revising our outlook on France to negative from stable and affirming our 'AA/A-1+' long- and short-term sovereign credit ratings.
- The ratings on France remain supported by our view of the French economy's high income per capita and productivity, its diversification, and its stable financial sector.

Moody's Maintains Negative Outlook On France's Aa1 Government Bond Rating; Affirms Rating
London, 19 September 2014 — Moody's Investors Service has today announced its decision to maintain the negative outlook on France's government bond rating, which it has affirmed at Aa1.
The agency's decision to affirm France's Aa1 rating reflects Moody's view that, despite negative credit pressures, the country retains significant credit strengths, including the size and wealth of the economy, as well as its affordable debt burden despite a continuous, gradual erosion of its economic and fiscal strength. The affirmation is also supported by renewed government commitment to accelerating the pace of structural reform, introducing a more consistent approach to economic policy, and proceeding with its budget saving plans.
That said, Moody's decision to maintain a negative rating outlook reflects the rating agency's view that the execution risks associated with implementing the government's proposed structural reform initiatives are significant, given the strength of vested political interests that might oppose them and the poor track record in implementing such reforms.
In a related rating action, Moody's has today announced its decision to maintain negative outlooks on the Aa1 ratings of Société de Financement de l'Economie Française (SFEF) and of Société de Prise de Participation de l'État (SPPE). The two entities' Aa1 rating are affirmed, in line with the sovereign's rating. Moody's also affirmed the Prime-1 rating of SPPE, including its euro-denominated commercial paper programme. The senior debt instruments issued by the two entities are backed by unconditional and irrevocable guarantees from the French government.

"Nothing is better than smelling fresh rosemary and fresh baking bread! This has been a favorite of mine for several years now. Prep-time includes rising time."
Serving Size: 1 (1241 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 1
"This is now my favorite, "go to" recipe for focaccia! I made it as directed, with two exceptions: I did not have bread flour, so used regular, all-purpose flour, and also sprinkled a mix of Italian herbs into the flour before mixing. The directions and rising/cooking time were perfect. I did, however, cook the loaves separately; one on a baking stone and one on a baking sheet. The loaf on the baking stone came out the best - crustier and a nicer golden brown. The bread was absolutely delicious and looked wonderful. I'll be using this recipe a LOT - it really doesn't take very long to make, and the taste is scrumptious. Definite winner, Kim!"
"Yummmm - this is delicious. Made tonight to go with lasagne and salad - it's just come out of the oven and already half of one loaf is gone. My eldest son has a "thing" for focaccia at the moment so he will be taking some for school lunches. I made it almost exactly to the recipe except, like Lizzie-Babette, I used all-purpose flour. Also I cooked for slightly longer (my oven's slow), it really looks, smells and tastes great. Definitely making this again (and again). Thanks Kim D."
"This recipe is perfect. I've made it many times and everyone loves it! I generally add different herbs and spices depending on availability. Newcomers to bread baking must pay close attention to the temperature of their liquid. Too hot will kill the yeast. Thank you."
"This is the perfect focaccia recipe, since I first tried it I have used it every time I needed to make bread. I also make different toppings (roasted veg, etc.) for it and it is always a great success."
"This was my first time making bread and I followed these directions exactly and the dough did not rise. I believe it may be because the yeast needed to be disolved in the water first? Please amend the recipie so beginers like myself don't have to waste time or ingredients. I am sure the recipie is great just by reading the reviews however by not having the directions correct, it can be a dissapointment to first time bakers."
"I do not have a big standing mixer so I deviated slightly from the recipe, doing it "like mom used to". I dissolve the yeast in the water with just a scant tsp of sugar, let the yeast foam up for 10 minutes then add the oil. Then I gradually mix in the flour, beating it after each addition and then I kneaded the dough by hand for 5 minutes. I've made this with rosemary and salt--very stunning--but today I just made it with mixed italian herbs and about 1 tsp of granulated garlic in the dough. Makes a more pedestrian product. But I use this recipe when I want two rounds of Focaccia and it always gives a really nice textured and tasty loaf."
"This was a very good bread. Next time I'd add lots more salt on the top of the bread before it bakes and more rosemary in the dough. However, this was a GREAT bread. Thanks for the recipe! I used this with my dipping sauce recipe."
"Perfect! This was my first time making bread and it was easier than I thought! Thank you very much!"
"a bit dry, but taste very "rosemary" I baked in 15x10 cookie sheet for 25min"
"Very good, i also added some italian herds, extra Oregano and a little powder garlic....The bread came out nice ....Nice and soft which is a must for myself(Can't stand hard crusted bread). Will keep this recipe as a base for many breads."
"I am refraining from giving this recipe stars because its likely I did some thing wrong. The dough was very easy to put together and it rose beautifuly. I wasnt happy with the end result, it was too heavy and the outside was crusty and inside nice and soft. The remaing bread after 9 hours was very hard and had to toss it out. "
"I halved this recipe and made one round loaf. Had to ration everyone's "tasting" when it was ready in the evening so there would be any left for breakfast, was gone in a flash the next day. I substituted 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary for each tablespoon of fresh, crushed it with my fingers first and let it soak in the olive oil a little. And didn't have kosher or sea salt so I substituted normal salt using half the amount. I added some minced garlic on top. Excellent recipe, wonderful dipped in balsamic vinegar. "
"Very nice bread. This is only the second bread I have ever made and it came out great. I also used some Italian herbs and some garlic infused olive oil. Then I sliced some vine ripe tomatoes very thin and put them around the top and they added a nice flavor and presentation. Thanks for sharing the recipe."
"Made it today, still eating the first loaf, ate half of it with left over bruschetta from Olive Garden, now i'm just sitting, munching on the other half with nothing but...bread. I used the dried herbs because i can't get the fresh stuff too often, but i took a mortar and pestle to it, crushed it pretty finely, and added other herbs to the stuff sprinkled on top, oregano, pepper, basil, and a dash of cinnamon, awesome recipe, will definitely be baking it again."
"Excellent bread recipe, Kim!! I was amazed at how easy it was to prepare this bread. My family loved it. We ate one round immediately and we're having the second one tonite. This recipe would be so easy to experiment with. I think next time I make it, I am going to try a mixture of Italian herbs inside and sprinkle some grated parmesan on top. Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! "
