Is one of his boss mechanics where you have to sit still and do nothing while he reads you his bad poetry for 5 minutes?

Oh, one thing I do remember from release EQ2 that I wonder how ever got past the "that's fucking stupid" design phase was forcing you to stay online and in your home if you wanted to list something you had for sale on the AH. Meant I went to bed with the game running quite a few times until I...

What killed the first game for me was that everyone both spoke and looked like they came from some shitty English village instead of Central Europe. Don't know why they went with those voice actors over someone who had more of a Central European accent. I always felt as if the main character was...

The main drawback to FO1 and 2 are simply that their UI is quite dated by modern standards. And I don't just mean the resolution, that can be fixed with many widescreen/hi res mods. It is quite clunky. These are two of the very many 90s and early 2000s games that could do with an "enhanced...

Play NV first. If you like it, play 3. If you like them both, install the Tale of Two Wastelands mod and play them both at the same time. :)

And even though it's a hassle, I'd still play with mods, if only the unofficial patches.

Someone fucks up in a US war/spy film: "I want him manning a radar/spy/whatever station in the middle of Alaska by tomorrow!" Me: Hmm... peace and quiet, lots of nature, can go hunting in free time, nobody around... why is this a punishment?

I tried it out again about 5 years ago and quickly realised that just by lvl 20 I was starting to stack things high. WoW understood this with their periodical purges of abilities. 10 buttons to push in combat - including situational ones - is probably more than enough to keep things good, and if...

I played EQ2 with some friends from launch for a few months until they moved to WoW. Some of it was quite brutal. But I'll always have a fond memory of the varied nature of the quests, where they came form and such, as well as the collections. I still haven't found a game that scratches that...

My guess is he secretly has this fantasy that one day she'll sit on his face.

You don't need to wait for AI bots if you have lots of RL money. Back in the day (2005-2010 or so) there were a few rich people who played Eve (mostly Russians and Chinese) who actually paid other Russians and Chinese to play in their corps and do whatever they told them to do. Some shenanigans...

The pictures make it look like the thing was riveted together by a drunk - but talented - farmboy in his barn, rather than some of the most cutting edge piece of technology mankind has ever created. Reminds me a bit of the Soviet space station in Armageddon. That said, if I did get an...

I do think that there is something to AAA game dev companies becoming too large. Most of the games I play these days come from small indy studios. Sure, the graphics are not as good (though that is becoming debatable), but the games are usually pretty good.
