<_< where can I get some of this "popcorn"

@Stovahkiin Popcorn puppy?

So my PC bricked itself yesterday. Stuck in a Startup Repair loop. Tried all the standard things; System Restore, Safe Mode, even typed some random codes into Command Prompt. No joy unfortunately, so taking that to PC World tomorrow so someone else can try all the things.

Edit: I guess bricked is technically the wrong word, since it still turns on...

Oh yes I believe that popcorn pup will do just fine, and as for your comp, I hope you get things sorted out soon.

The addon - Rare Fish Tracker is your fishing friend

I'll have to look into that. I think in my mess of addons I have some sort of fishing tracker (I keep seeing fishhooks in different colors on my maps) but I never really paid attention to it.

How is everyone and what's been the biggest Drama since I left 10mth ago

Did you get resurrected?

Enodoc · August 2016

Got my PC back from the repair shop. Corrupted operating system apparently, so I have to install everything again from scratch, including Windows 8.1 (since it was originally a Windows 8). Won't be going back to Windows 10 though! Luckily I stuck the ESO data files on an external hard drive not too long ago, so if the copy-paste-repair method still works I won't have to download all 50+ GB of that again.

PTS might be another matter; does the copy-paste-repair method work for PTS if the source data is from Live? I know you used to be able to do Live EU - Live NA that way, but I'm not sure if that worked for PTS or not.

Thanks for this thread - I feel much better after accidentally watching video on youtube about ESO, hoping for interesting background informations, just to turn out to be hate flame to all Skyrim fans, calling them *** for wanting Skyrim in MMO, and blaming them for ESO not having success - what a lie - those fans were between those, who bothered with subs before console launch, otherwise they wouldn't post anything on forums... And it connected with ZOS attacking any RP fans daring to share their passion for roleplaying on forums, after their beloved console launched, with screaming: this is MMO, not a singleplayer, never bothered to explain what they meant by it, attacking players for discussing what they would want in MMO, calling them armchair developers, eventhough those players paid them money when their game was close to end with subs model, I'm so glad I came to a friendly thread - maybe I can go play ESO again without having such pictures in my head. I don't eat popcorn, but sure I can find some drinks atleast

Man I missed this thread in my forum absence...

And no, that's not me...

UrQuan · August 2016

Oh, totally off topic (but then this is such an off topic thread that I feel like that's OK), but I recently discovered a much better way to fish than what I've been doing. Fish using a controller! I hate using a controller for other things (keyboard & mouse 4life), but it's amazing for fishing! You get a little vibration when the fish are just nibbling, and then a stronger vibration when you've got a bite and you can reel in! Just like in real-life fishing! It's great!

A guildie told me about this - I would tag him here, but I don't know his forum name.

Morning all!

While it's not quite as funny as watching me play ESO...

“A jolly young fellow from Yuma
Told an elephant joke to a puma;
now his skeleton lies
beneath hot western skies-
the puma had no sense of huma”

UrQuan · September 2016

Hmm, not exactly a joke, but here's my all-time favorite poem.

I shoot the Hippopotamus
With bullets made of platinum,
Because if I use leaden ones
His hide is sure to flatten 'em.
-Hilaire Belloc

UrQuan · September 2016

Also, hey @WldKarde glad you joined in on the world boss guild event last night! I don't think you were on voice chat, but it was sure handy to have you there on a max-level character considering how many of us were playing on lowbies

Traffic was kind last night, so it was fun to be able to attend. I'll get Discord up hopefully tonight.

How handy I was is up for debate...
Character was max-level for sure...Now the driver on the other hand???

I try to at least be entertaining if nothing else

Well considering we started with a level 3 and a level 5 in the group (as well as me on a level 20, and I think we had someone at about level 27-28), and considering how relatively smoothly those fights all went despite a bunch of us being on our lowbies, I'd say you were providing valuable contributions lol

lol that's awesome. I love Powell's. Last time I went to Portland I went to Powell's in the morning and bought about $50-$60 worth of books. Then I went to some brew pubs trying out different beers. Then when I was a bit tipsy (it was mid afternoon at this point) I decided it was a good idea to go back to Powell's, and I spent about another $100 or so on more books - mostly ones that I had already seen but decided against buying when I was sober. My bags on the train home were way heavier than they were on the train down there...

A small selection, for @MissBizz .........

How do you know when there is an elephant under your bed?
When your nose touches the ceiling!

How do you stop an elephant from charging?
Take away his credit card!

Why were the elephants thrown out of the swimming pool?
Because they couldn't hold their trunks up!

What's grey, yellow, grey, yellow, grey, yellow, grey, yellow, grey, yellow, grey, yellow?
An elephant rolling down a hill with a daisy in its mouth!

and my personal favourite........

How do you know an elephant has been in your fridge?
Footprints in the butter!

MissBizz · September 2016

Hahahahaha love it. Swimming pool one was my fave

UrQuan · September 2016

Elephants huh? OK, here's a puzzle involving an elephant.

But of course you have to take the giraffe out first

My hubby is a total elephant joke expert, my kids were raised on them, there's several that still make me crack up even after hearing them so many times.

This is one such sequence.............

Q: How many elephants will fit into a Mini?
A: Four: Two in the front, two in the back.
Q: How many giraffes will fit into a Mini?
A: None. It's full of elephants.
Q: How do you get two whales in a Mini?
A: Along the M4 and across the Severn Bridge.
Q: How do you know there are two elephants in your refrigerator?
A: You can hear giggling when the light goes out. (Or: Two footprints in the butter)
Q: How do you know there are three elephants in your refrigerator?
A: You can't close the door.
Q: How do you know there are four elephants in your refrigerator?
A: There's an empty Mini parked outside.

Oh I love elephant jokes

WldKarde · September 2016

Well darn!

Wish I'd known you were going to be in Portland last week @newtinmpls it would have been fun to say Hi in person since that's where I live.

We Portlanders are a goofy bunch, but we do know our coffee, beer and books

Dang.... and there were 4 of us ESO-sters; @sekou_trayvond , @riverwind (don't know if she is actually a forum poster) and my beloved @Francis_Toliver

Oddly enough we found ourselves playing board games ... and I did NOT get myself a copy of "exploding kittens" (you have to defuse them or everyone dies).

And food. I went to Mother's while I was there.... oh I could go broke there.

Of course if I really lived in Portland, I would spend so much time in Powells I'd get fired, so that would be bad.

For those of you who have been able to enjoy and test One Tamriel on PTS.

Please take good notes!

I'm now stuck in the wondrous journey of watching the launcher cruise at a blistering average of 200 kbps as it re downloads my PTS client

Luckily live still works, so I'm able to continue training new players in the ways of playing like a Knucklehead....

But I'm beginning to suffer from severe PTS withdrawals!

If I wake up in the AM and find that I still can't get in...There just might be a Grand Mal Tantrum in my future!
And trust me after working at a university for the past 24+ years...I've had a LOT of examples to use as reference

Oh...now up to 73% complete!

Probably be done just in time for Tuesdays maintenance

Edit: Well for those of you waiting for the tantrum...sorry

Woke up this morning and had PTS ready to go! Lots more to explore, but looks like One Tamriel is going to be a lot of fun. Not quite sure what to make of Craglorn as of yet though. It's either stupid easy...or one helluva lot harder than I remember depending on where you are. Either that or I'm a lot more rusty than I thought. I do like the Dolmens now, not such a face-roll as before.

Hi guys, this thread ran its course a long time ago, if it was ever a good idea to begin with. At this point it's so far off track, it's best just to lay it to rest.
