    The Secret World

    A lot of people at launch managed to gimp themselves in Savage Coast by not equipping a second weapon. Sometimes it was because they simply didn't know you could at first. (Like myself) The others simply objected to the idea of being forced to use two separate weapons or be gimped. I had a RPer...

    Torrents

    I'd never, ever download movies, shows, games, or music from PirateBay. I have gotten away with using it to get a hold of things like Adobe After Effects. Adobe, as far as I know, doesn't have the millions to throw away chasing torrent sites like Hollywood/EAgames/Activision seem to do.

    Torrents

    Anyone with an invite to IPT or comparable torrent tracker? My IPT account seems to have gone dead.

    Becoming a Youtuber

    QFT. Just like how many MMOs are trying to be the next big thing by copying WoW, you get a lot of derps like Waffles copying Pewdiepie. And just like those MMOs, those people happen to crash and burn just as bad. You are dead on about "zero hooks", sometimes people post stuff that gets zero...

    Becoming a Youtuber

    Also, as people like Totalbiscut have pointed out with Garry's Incident, copyright claims are often used to censor people from speaking out about shitty music/games/movies/media. There's basically zero penalty for the person throwing out the copyright claim and it can be for virtually anything...

    DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

    FrankieOnPC is one of the only guys who makes 30-40 minute videos for DayZ that I will actually watch all the way through. An unusual amount of people who make DayZ media think that their audience is actually interested in hearing them ramble about shit while they run 5k to the NW Airfields for...

    Archeage

    Every so often that I log into Rift, I occasionally see a GM in the low-level global channels asking people what they think of Trove. What's funny is people ask more about Archeage and they deflect questions on the subject. Another case of a MMO company plugging their ears when listening to...

    Black Gold Online

    What's great is if you view that video on youtube, there's only seven thumbs up and 153 downvotes at this time of writing. I'm guessing the upvotes are from the dev team.

    DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

    Guess what? You're done son! You're done! I don't know why but people going into online multi-player games as 'voiced characters' is fucking hilarious to me.

    Neverwinter: PC

    Learning that 12 to 20 slot bags in their item store cost $6 to $10 dollars real money was enough for me to uninstall this piece of shit. You get a grand total of 2 small bags during questing in addition to your 30 slot starter bag. Even if you do enjoy throwing money at the item shop; A lot of...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Just cancelled my pre-order as well. I really do want to like this game but I'm not wasting the first free month to repeatedly click at a log-in screen to maybe get access to a queue. As I stated before, they had two years to pull their heads out of their asses.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    At this point, this is a second launch for a game that has failed it's first launch. After fucking up, they personally gave themselves TWO YEARS to get ready for this day. TWO YEARS. Most Funcom games, which are less fucked up than this game on launch day are pretty much functional 6 months...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I can't even get to the point where you can login for the FFXIV browser. I'm literally stuck on the license & agreement portion because even after scrolling down and checking off that it was read; the "next" button does not function at all. I'm questioning if this is a new SquareEnix strategy...

    EQ Never

    With Landmark, you'd think they'd release it early, tell the fans to make their own racial city hubs, pick the best ones via fan vote, give the makers in-game titles/flashy shit/IRL prizes then call it a day. It'd be almost effortless advertisement for their new games and everyone would be...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Off topic but totally forgot how dark this was for a "family film". I can relate the feeling though. I've basically said, "Fuck it" and re-downloaded EQ1 before until I logged in, diddled around for 10 minutes then logged out. I wish Smee was there to stop me.

    You're Next

    I'm disappointed that this didn't turn out to be about former WCW World Champion Goldberg as himself in a horror movie. Yes, I know about the existence of Santa's Slay but Goldberg not killing anyone with a jackhammer made me sad.

    Everquest II

    Does EQ2 still require for you to complete your epic class weapon quest to be worthy to take on raids/higher end groups? I have an 80+ Troubadour but when EQ2 initially went F2P a while back, I decided to give an Illusionist a shot and had a ton of fun with them. I was pretty much zipping...

    Grudge Match

    They actually filmed part of this down in Metairie, Louisiana just off of New Orleans. They rented out an abandoned car dealership left over from Hurricane Katrina to park all their trailers in. I found this out when I went to a Subway on Veterans Blvd in Metairie for lunch one day and...

    The Wolverine

    I'm totally fine with actors using steroids and understand it's not a "magic pill". However, Hugh Jackman and other actors do get sponsorship deals and fitness magazine covers. HGH/Steroids are a no-no to be mentioned if they want to keep those going. You can't really blame sponsors for being...

    The Wolverine

    I swore I read at one point that any mutants capable of storing and releasing energy blasts (Jubilee, Dazzler, Cyclops, Gambit ect) could be considered Omega? Reason for this being that Xaiver mentioned that someone like Gambit for example, could charge an object to the point that it could blow...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    I don't understand why Zimmerman isn't suing them both into the ground. Cities that have riots over this shit should be allowed to sue media outlets that are editing news designed to entice a race war.

    Defiance

    I did get some entertainment out of Defiance when I picked it up on the Steam sale. Like I said before, I did like the GTA/Saints Row style rampage/racing/situational challenges littered around the main map and the gameplay itself is not terrible. Although I can recognize positive aspects of...

    Guild Wars 2

    That's one of the things I enjoy the most about GW2 was seeing how each class used a weapon in it's own way that could drastically differ from another. I was floored when I saw what the Mesmer did with the great sword at first.

    The Secret World

    This. I had a Phenom II 925 for quite a while and it wasn't until the last year or so that for many MMOs, it was the obvious bottleneck of my system.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Bingo. This is more about class than race these days. I had a friend living up in Washington in a good area with some middle/upper class blacks with a fairly liberal upbringing. He came down around New Orleans to visit for Mardi Gras for a week. He was almost leaning Republican after dealing...

    Defiance

    What blows my mind the most about this game is the non-working chat. I mean, I can log into any number of shitty Asian F2P MMOs and enjoy working, functional chat between players. My experiences with Rift at launch were spectacular compared to most MMO launches as well. Patching took way less...

    Defiance

    Despite paying only $12 on this during Amazon's Summer Sale, having to redo settings EVERY FUCKING TIME I log in for video, audio, keyboard config and mouse really pisses me off and quickly made me regret buying it. I checked their official forums to see if there's a fix for it or at least a dev...

    Man of Steel

    I really don't know where this pussy-footing whining of "Superman never kills" came from. Pre-Crisis, it's known Superman had no problems killing. You used deadly force against him and you were likely getting some back. A simple Google search pulls up the canon instances of Superman killing...

    The Secret World

    I attempted to come back to TSW a month or so ago only to find that there were zero pub missions for elite dungeons going on no matter what time of day I logged in. (Elite dungeons are a requirement for the gatekeeper for access to Nightmare dungeons) Has this changed at all lately? It was...

    Neverwinter: PC

    It's supposedly an item dupe. There was people selling rank 4 enchantments in stacks of 99 for 40,000 AD. This plummeted when the AH started to get flooded with tons of stuff for lower and lower AD. It ended with the phoenix bird pet that's in the nightmare lockbox being sold for under a...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Auction house just got closed down and there's currently about a million phoenix birds in the instance of Protector's Enclave I'm in. Looks like rollback number 2 will be happening soon. The Neverwinter Forums continue to provide an endless source of entertainment stemming from this. Kind of...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Servers went down just now. Zero warning. What's great is some of the posts on the Neverwinter Forums regarding the chances of a rollback or a character wipe. It's starting to turn a few of their "it's a beta, duh! Lol" fanboys into mouth frothing ragers. It does make me feel kind of glad...

    There's actually a few foundry missions like Game of Ogres (Game of Death parody) that has a congo line of well placed single ogres which is great for neglected melee like Guardian Fighter to grind exp.

    Neverwinter: PC

    What's great about the servers crashing is CO and STO players are hitting up Neverwinter's forums to rage there since all three games are in the same server cluster apparently. One MMO crashes, they all go down. It's going to be great if Cryptic releases another MMO after Neverwinter. I bet...

    Neverwinter: PC

    They'll keep them that way. This is the same company charging $25 bucks for a ship in Star Trek Online and offers $200 lifetime/bonus packs for every new MMO they pump out. I'm sure this has been linked time and time again, but what do you expect with Jack Emmert as their CEO...

    The random all grand finals was way more fun and interesting to watch than 30 minutes straight of soul fist spam. That said, I respect Chris G and the work he puts into perfecting that strategy with his team but it doesn't translate into anything exciting to watch.

    Bioshock Infinite

    Never knew any of this. I really thought it was entirely cosmetic for Elizabeth's necklace. I hope someone eventually puts a video together showing what effects, no matter how subtle, the choices have in Infinite. I just learned today that demanding your tickets for the airship instead of...
