    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Except for the Talib thing, Crabtree has been great for the Raiders. The Raider's issues this year and last is the secondary. We drafted Gareon Conley (CB) in the first round but he played all of 10 minutes this season before going on IR. We payed Sean Smith a ton of money after taking him from...

    Dune (2020)

    Hopefully they turn this into a franchise. That is the only way to do the books justice. I give Lynch's Dune a pass. When he made it the serialized movie franchise thing wasn't the big deal it is today. Lynch did a pretty good job condensing the material into 2 hours. And Lynch's weird eye...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    That was hilarious. Crabtree was after some payback for Talib's punk play last year. Crab pushed Talib around like a toy. Then they both threw some girl punches and got ejected. Even though Crabtree is basically our no. 1 receiver, I think losing Talib hurt the Broncos more. Carr took over...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Well, in a fit of boredom I broke down and picked up the CBS sub to watch this. Have only watched the first 3 episodes but I am pleasantly surprised. Was expecting a bit more SJW virtue signalling (perhaps it is later) but all I have seen so far is pretty typical for Trek. They were always out...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Always liked this game. They did such a great job of making it feel like the Lord of the Rings world. And the players really add to it.

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    VR will be niche for quite a while. They really have to scale down the size of the goggles and up the resolution for mass acceptance. That and they need killer must have apps. I have one of those S8 Occulus VR setups, and have messed around with a friend's Vive. Such a cool experience for 8...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Dont' play CCG games generally. But many games sell booster packs (xp etc) and that's fine by me as long as they aren't required. Don't buy them myself but don't care if others do. The Devs have to pay the bills like the rest of us. So they have to sell something. And there is a lot of grey...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    P2W is the only thing that bothered me about the loot crates in this game. I don't really care that much about loot crates in games that just have cosmetic items, especially since I never buy them. But they are a form of gambling and there is a significant portion of humanity that has issues...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Aye, I'm not looking to get to raid level. Just want to experience vanilla and have some fun leveling with a bunch of people around. Probably wont last long, but I'm willing to resub for a couple months to check it out. Endgame raiding doesn't interest me anymore. I just don't find it fun.

    Retard Dumping Ground

    Musicians get a pass. I realized a long time ago that most of the music I love was created by people I never want to meet in person. A great example is Rage Against the Machine. Fucking commies, but I love their music.

    Camelot Unchained

    If you have access to the forums then there is an interesting update from Mark. He's asked that it not be posted publicly. It's nothing major but it is progress and it looks fun. Game is still a ways off though. Beta next year looks doable but not full release.

    Gerrymandering Supreme Court Case

    The court has already ruled (with caveats) that gerrymandering isn't illegal. And they really don't want to get involved in doing the mapping themselves. So even if they rule against Wisconsin, it will most likely be a very narrow ruling that doesn't effect other areas in the country.

    Guild Wars 2

    Triumphant armor is the unique WvW skin. It's used for the exotic track and the ascended Mistforged Triumphant Hero armor.

    Won't be playing this if there is a cost above and beyond the WoW sub. I'm sure a lot of us scrubs feel the same way.

    Guild Wars 2

    WvW is in a weird place. They originally sold it as a DAoC type of activity, but other than 3 sided warfare it doesn't capture the old DAoC feel. It's mostly just trains of blob vs blob now. Which can be fun, but personally i can only take it in small doses. Use to be a bit of a roaming scene...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'll give this a go. Mainly because I missed out on Vanilla when it came out, was still heavily invested in EQ at that time. Doubt I'll last long though. They waited a bit too long to bring this out. I just don't have the patience anymore for crappy old graphics tied to boring old style grinds.

    They were very slow about balance patches even in GW1. That's just the way they do things.

    I haven't spent a dime. Don't have a problem with anyone that did though. Why you care is the real issue. You spend a lot of time noodling in places you supposedly hate, and you do it by choice. All so you can denigrate people who are doing and discussing something they enjoy. Ick.

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

    A lot of new games are "MMO"s now, of a sort. Playing Destiny 2 pc atm. Feels like a mmo to me. Levels, group quests, raids, gear grind, etc. The gaming studios are pulling away from single player games and creating hybrid mmo / cooperative types now. So in a sense MMO's won. I think it's the...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Lol. Could be. Perhaps it's because I grew up on the original Star Trek, even TNG is a distant second for me. Spent the last few years casually rewatching all the series in order (finished last year). And I ended up liking Voyager compared to DS9 and Enterprise. DS9 is shit. And Enterprise was...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I would be if Gene were still with us. Then again even TNG was unwatchable the first couple of seasons. I didn't get into that show until the Borg came around. I haven't seen any of the Discovery episodes but not in any hurry to even care. Star Trek isn't what it use to be and hasn't been for a...

    Guild Wars 2

    The hard part with GW2 is just figuring out what to do and then sticking to it. I finally picked up 2 legendaries a few months ago but could have had them a couple of years ago. Had most of the mats and hard stuff accomplished. Just had to spend some time with the run around bs. But I was always...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Meant for Chanur but I have 2 my two cents.. The Chargers this year were scary on paper and it looks like the injury bug isn't too bad yet (not like the last few years). So they were always going to compete and be dangerous, especially in the division. The real issue is how far the Broncos have...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Brother plays a ton of TESO and GW2. He likes TESO because for him it's like playing the single player games which he has done multiple times. TESO went for the single player customers who lived in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim and don't have much experience with mmos. And it seems to work for...

    The Wintersday and Halloween festivals are great. I waste a bunch of time in them every year. The activities are fun. And I love the jumping puzzles. They are really tough to learn though, possibly the hardest jumping puzzles in GW2. Wish they had more tough puzzles like that. Guild Wars 1 had...

    Well I live in San Diego and still have a soft spot for the Chargers (even though their owners are retards), so it's cool that they were the only AFC team to win.. NOT. WTF! is up with the Raiders? Damn, I had a bad feeling about the early hype. Too many similarities to the overhyped Raider...

    Server only matters for WvW. PvE and PvP is on the mega server. Guilds are cross server.

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

    Thankfully, Agnarr killed most of my EQ nostalgia. There are still things I would like to see from EQ Classic in Pantheon (or any mmo). But from the videos I've seen so far (the play streams with Brad and the group, etc), Pantheon seems to already have the EQ feel and I'm sure I'll have fun...

    Guild Wars 2

    Doesn't matter what server you are on if you only PvE. Mega server allows you to play with anyone (Have to chose US or EU though). If you want to WvW then usually the top servers (see the wiki for the list of locked worlds) have more combat, larger zergs. Blackgate, Jade Quarry, Fort Aspenwood...

    Aye, the vanilla storyline is garbage, couldn't hit the skip button fast enough. Unfortunately, because of that I skipped through most of the other stories (LWS2, HoT, part of LWS3) before realizing that they are pretty good. Going to have to go back and do them again on another toon. I...

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

    BDO's grind is the only reason I don't play that game anymore. Classic EQ's grind was different. It was more of a journey and there was a lot to do, gear to get, etc. And there were plenty of players at all levels back then. If Pantheon does a good job of making the middle levels enjoyable then...

    Guild Wars 2

    You can do the dungeon track in WvW for the currency. Have 2 legendaries and that's how I got the dungeon coins. Doesn't take long. Just follow the zerg around over the weekend and that should get you plenty. Plus a ton of exotics (mostly weapons). You may have to wait a few weeks for the...

    WvW gives you Proofs of Heroics, I think after each level. You can use those to buy hero points. They are stored in your coin inventory. A lot of people don't realize those exist. A friend of mine who plays a ton of WvW was bitching about having to get hero points for his alts. I asked if he'd...

    Guild Wars 2

    My main complaint with HoT was the destruction it did to WvW. I didn't mind the PvE and kind of liked the vertical zones. Loved the gliding. But I spend most of my time in WvW and HoT killed it. Took a long time for ANET to fix that. To ANET's credit WvW is much better now, but HoT lost a lot...
