    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Just put a 3090 in my gaming system.. Can't find a game that slows it down yet.. LOL. It IS huge though.. 3 slots wide, and weighs like 7 pounds..

    I still don't know the cause of death for Brad.. I'd prefer not to speculate.

    Absor will likely be on EQ until they turn it off. The man has over 20 years on the team in some fashion.. He's a fixture. In a good way.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Lol.. probably not. He doesn't have the incredibly stupid looking Troll Doll hair like Romero does. What's truly crazy to me is I know someone who's actually spent nearly $20,000 on Star Citizen so far.. It hurts my head to think about it too long.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    No. It's Chris Roberts. The dude has an amazing gift for turning PILES of money into mid-level garbage. Star Citizen is going to be the Daikatana of Battlecruiser 3000AD games.

    Jason is a good guy.. talented programmer too. His story is not unique though.. Despite all of his faults, that's exactly how so many of us met Brad, and how we became involved in his projects..

    Just pre-ordered the new PRS SE SVN Holcomb 7-string in the Walnut finish. I need a 'beater' 7 string that I can take to Afghanistan.. Not bringing my Mayones out here..

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    You're comparing Blizzard to a bunch of people, many of whom have never made a game before, making an MMO with basically no money to pay people, and wondering why they don't have much to show yet? WoW cost something like 85 million dollars to make with a VERY large team.

    RIP Brad McQuaid

    How he died is really kind of immaterial at this point. Regardless of his personal demons (we all have them), he was a good guy. A friend. Brad gave me my shot in the industry, and for better than a decade, I got the chance to be doing something I truly loved. I'll ALWAYS be grateful for that...

    Desperate times cause desperate actions. Not forgetting it, but I can't say what I'd do if my wife or daughter were in critical health danger. I don't condone it, but I can understand.

    To be clear, I don't speak for the team in any way.. They may have fully designed the game, and they may intend to continue. I'd support their efforts if they do!

    Nothing has been made public yet. His family is going through rough times with this so I haven't even tried to ask..

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Unless a design was fully fleshed out it would be hard deliver the game Brad was trying to make. I have a pretty good idea of it, as he asked me more than once to be design lead, but I couldn't give up my current gig to come work on his passion project without a REAL paycheck. And there's no way...

    They were making progress.. Regardless of whether people here believed it or not. Brad had pushed development this long on a shoe-string budget and I'm sure the gane would release at some point. As to what it would be is hard to say

    RIP Brad McQuaid

    Well wishes and condolences are rarely poorly received. One reply to Utnayan's post. His skin wasn't as thick as he showed.. He knew his failings, but they really gutted him deeply. The chatter didn't hurt so much as the self-realization of failure. And it wasn't the failure of the game that...

    It's real.. I literally just talked to him a week ago. We had lunch plans and he was super excited to show me the progress the game had made. So sad..

    Don't be dicks. Like or hate him, he had a family and friends. I wouldn't have had the great time I enjoyed in game dev without him. Put aside the snark and jokes for a bit.

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    Planetside Arena team got smashed. EQ/EQ2 teams were untouched. No idea what's going on there internally.. but they did register a number of new game companies.. My guess is the EQ/EQ2 team is about to become Darkpaw Games..

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    They didn't, but this was one of the main areas where we repeatedly explained to people that we couldn't go back.. The code for damage, armor, evasion, etc has been DRASTICALLY changed since those original days.. Players at lvl 50 today are probably 60% more powerful than they were at 50 in...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    It depends upon the kind of game you're making. Emergent content is great IF it doesn't turn into "grief the fuck out of other players", unless you're specifically making a PVP world. Personally, I don't give a damn about social integration.. I'm making the game for people playing, not the...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    Wrong in every way. The way you induce people to be online as much as possible, is to make a great game that's fun to play, with lots of content..
