    Green Monster Games - Curt Schilling

    While they may not have a brand name that will be recognizable they will most definitely have the artist and writer name. Slapping Salvatore, Schilling and McFarlane on the cover is enough to warrant some attention from a passerby in your local Best Buy even if they don"t know what an MMO is.

    Green Monster Games - Curt Schilling

    Some professor"s in my courses at University of Toronto aren"t entirely opposed to using Wikipedia as a reference, but I doubt if they would ever allow you to quote it. That being said the courses that the profs allow it in are new media and communications courses where we are dealing with...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    I"m a huge LOTR nerd... but I am really hoping they improve the gameplay. The game couldn"t hold my interest when I tried it in beta, and there was some odd about the character movements. Anyways, I, on top of being a LOTR nerd, love a good dungeon crawl. It"s the thing that I really enjoy...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    While I don"t think that all of the "haters" posts are detrimental in any way (we"re here to discuss things and argue, after all) I do think shitty posts like xmods have no place here. "OMG I won"t play VG "cuz it"s full of skill-less faggots." Ok... thanks, nobody gives a shit that you"re a...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    Kohl, you keep pushing the notion that there is no content in the game and that you need to search, and search for any kind of enjoyment. But yourself, and others who have been criticizing Vanguard don"t respond to something like Nairbog"s post here... That quote about sums up why I am playing...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    Used Fraps to take some shots showing the different quality settings and my FPS. The program is kind of weird as it usually lowered my FPS by quite a bit every time I took the screenshot. so I had to set it to take a shot every 1 second until I told it to stop. I purposely made it so there...

    You"re kidding, right? This isn"t even a good picture... but it shows shadows at least.

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    We all know that apart from WoW most MMO"s get mediocre reviews at best because reviewers don"t have the time to invest to see the whole game, or even the better parts of the game at high level.

    It"s a custom UI. Drox UI to be specific.

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    I"ve uploaded a couple of videos I took of Vanguard to my server. They are at the settings I play on, with FPS (which isn"t shown on screen) quite a bit lower than what it really is because of Fraps running. The vids aren"t of anything, really... but show the game in motion, at least. Really all...

    FRAPS + DivX... I"ve been playing around with some VG vids. You can make a 5 minute clip that"s decent size and quality if you have the encoder resize the width down to 480... then you can play it on dvd players too... hah

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    Well, I am running an Athlon 4200+ X2, with 2 gigs of ram and a nVidia 7900 GTO and I get decent framerates and run the game at 1920x1080 because I am running on a TV. Bring down the reso to 1280x1024 on a normal monitor and the performance would be much better. I would say my rig is slightly...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    Sorry for the resolution, but I haven"t installed Photoshop on my Vista install yet. This first shot of my group killing some drake in Trengal Keep. Yes, I know the FPS is only 7 - I play on settings higher than I should because I like purty graphics and I don"t mind my highest FPS being...
