that's just splitting hairs. they both made comedies, so it's not that unreasonable at all to compare two comedic writers/directors. that's about as dumb as saying you can't compare dale earnhardt junior and carl edwards as racers because one drives a chevy and one drives a ford.

i really like leo, and i think he deserved to win an oscar at least twice in his career (for gilbert grape and for blood diamond), but matthew's performance in dallas buyer's club was clearly the best acting job this year and he deserved it. it's rare that the academy gets it right, so i was...

it doesn't matter who they cast in this movie, there's no possible way that it isn't going to suck.

matthew mcconaughey wins best actor (and delivers a great speech. alright, alright), and gravity didn't win best picture (didn't really care which movie won, as long as it wasn't that overhyped, overrated piece of crap). all is right in the world.

i didn't even bring up john hughes. i only mentioned the farrelly brothers in my original post. you went ape shit when abe brought up the comparison between ramis and hughes. god forbid anyone should compare two people who worked in the exact same field for 20+ years and actually worked together...

are you shitting me? i'm not watching but i can't believe wind rises didn't win best animated picture. that is some stupid shit.

i'm trying hard to comprehend where the hatred is coming from with grumblethorn and grimmlokk. ramis and hughes are two of the greatest writers/directors in the history of hollywood. i don't see what's wrong with comparing the two, as they both had most of their success in the 80's, and both...

you can go back and watch ANY john hughes movie right now and they still hold up. they are all classics. just watched sixteen candles about a month ago. still funny as hell, and holds up to the test of time. "what was he wearing? well, let's see, he was wearing a red argyle sweater, and tan...

neither did ramis! neither one made slapstick, over the top comedies like "airplane" or "the naked gun." they both made smart comedies with a moral compass. so the comparison between the two is very accurate. take for example "sixteen candles" for john hughes and "back to school" by harold...

i love the fact that a ringing endorsement of a game in the MMO industry right now is "eh, it isn't terrible."

hughes didn't make comedies? are you being serious? ferris bueller's day off wasn't a comedy? home alone? weird science? they're all listed as comedies as far as hollywood is concerned. now who's being a dumbass?

were you referring to me with this post? have no idea what you're even talking about. i assure you i don't for a second believe that WoW is the holy grail of MMO's, but yes, every MMO since WoW has been a WoW clone. that much is true, and this game is no different. linear, quest driven leveling...

i agree with you. i would put john hughes and harold ramis as equals. between the two of them, they pretty much defined 80's cinema; including some of the best movies of all time. hughes: 16 candles, breakfast club, pretty in pink, ferris bueller's day off, some kind of wonderful, weird...

give me one good MMO to play and i'll be too busy actually playing that game to post here.

the reason why you have that "nothing grabs me and makes me want to play" feeling is because you've already played this game a dozen other times. it's exactly like WoW, GW2, SWTOR, rift, LOTRO, and every other WoW clone that has come out the last 10 years.

the true innovation will be the next MMO that is the complete opposite of what TESO tried to do (along with every other MMO that has come out/is coming out recently). stop making a linear game on rails and trying to tell some boring ass story through shitty mandatory quests. it's not a fucking...

this. his resume trumps even the farrelly brothers, and that's saying something.

i have a solution to the prequel pandemic in hollywood: the theaters should have to pay YOU to go see them. problem solved.

since their boards are sub based, i think we should get a percentage for them mentioning our site on their boards.

didn't this thread already get shawed once? we're breaking new ground here.

i'd agree with you if SOE was trying to do more than just throw minecraft and GW2 into a room together and force them to have a baby.

i agree with you. from the get go, i thought the name was horrible.

no, what they really should have done was put together a demo for their kickstarter, and did some actual research on how to create a successful kickstarter. that way, they would have easily hit their goal of $800,000. but that would have made way too much sense.

the fact that this is already over $100,000 is unfathomable. people really are retarded.

lines of pure colombian off of hooker's asses with all the donations from their sub based forum, of course!

if only that translated to them actually doing work on the game.

why do you assume it would be a small niche market? everquest had over 500,000 players at its peak before 95% of the gaming world knew what a MMO was. if a game made in the mold of EQ could maintain a half million players or so today, that would be considered a gigantic success, and not niche at...

as much as i wanted to see this game get funded and made, i agree; the lore was pretty god awful. i mean, even the name terminus makes the game sound like it's on life support.

any of you ever read the bible? holy fuck. talk about welcoming a guy with open arms and crucifying him just a little while later. anyway, the KS failed, the game is probably vaporware, this thread is where it should be. game over.

i'm sure the VR employees are already waiting in the parking lot.

true, but my opinion was more about what a competent person/studio can accomplish using kickstarter to finance a project. i didn't KS broken age (in fact, until a few days ago i never heard of it), but i just bought it for $25.00 and it was worth every penny (even though right now the game is...

not directly related to pantheon, but my opinion of kickstarter has changed somewhat over the last 24 hours. my friend told me about a game called broken age that i've been playing since yesterday. what a fucking gorgeous game. this game is a kickstarter funded game done right. not that it's a...

great post. there are a lot of benedict arnold's in this thread.

hey, 95% stake still gets the game made, which is more than what's going to happen currently!

anyone else besides me that would like to see brad pitch his MMO on the tv show shark tank? wonder if any of them would be willing to take a risk on this venture? brad, make it happen!

everything you said is true, and yet it still looks better than EQN.

and still, in only 5 minutes they made a terrain that looks a thousand times better than candy land, i mean EQN...

i'm not overlooking anything. i loved EQ, DESPITE its many flaws. i never claimed it was a perfect game. believe me, i was a wizard as my main in EQ and i did plenty of complaining in my time (our mana regen sucked, our DPS wasn't on par with other classes like rogues who didn't have to med...

that's your opinion. maybe if you stop giving your opinion like it's gospel you wouldn't always come off as such a raging fucking douche bag? if EQ wasn't a very good game, then why did you play it for so long? that's like saying you saw a movie that wasn't very good, but watched it over 300...

it really does suck that this won't reach its funding goal. it definitely looks like a game i would have happily played for several years.
