Brad came in on VG but since nobody gave a shit they moved him to EQ where people only gave slightly more of a shit.

Sharniken made sure of that. ^_^

He can't even figure out how mailboxes work, you expect him to figure out pasta?

You know, that's one viscous cycle. Fans bitch about every matchup being the same and stale, mapmakers make unique maps to force players to think outside the box, players bitch about having to learn new strats/builds, map makers go back to making every map a 3-base snore fest, fans bitch...

What's to say? It's going to be a F2P but with cash shop WoW-clone where you run around getting 10 quests per hub, killing 10~20 of the appropriate mob type then turning your quests in for gold, xp and items you'll vendor. After doing this for 30 to 70 levels you'll do the 2 raids they have...

You must be new here.

Can't even play D3 on normal let alone hardcore. It's some cruel hand of fate. I get 10 meg internet just fine. I can download games and whatnot in no time. My ping however even to euro servers is in the high 400's and will spike to 1000+ regularly. Fucking hadji-net.

Went to a little diner called the Paki Hotel for lunch yesterday. Owner came out and said hello and we chatted a bit while they moved tables to make room for our sons stroller (have one of the giant fucking BOB strollers). They were out of green apple soda but they know how much my wife loves...

Pretty sure chicks calling themselves bi-polar is the new calling themselves bi-sexual.

Summoner 1 and 2. If you liked KOTOR and similar games you'll like these. Summoner 1 is a bit slow to start and rough around the edges but as one of the PS2 launch titles and especially one of the precious few western RPG's I enjoyed it immensely. A pain in the ass to set up and get...

So I found my newest favorite cheese strat. It's called live in a goddamn desert. See, nobody wants to put up with someone who is continually almost timing out but for some reason the timer resets and never actually drops them. I usually get called a fucking mexican and then they bail. I...

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Goddamn that cuts deep. I thought we were friends.

Well, you also know how to play now. I mean if you go watch the SC2 speedrun you pick up a few tricks and nothing is even remotely difficult. You can beat the WoL campaign in one sitting.

Innovation is one of those words that are so subjective it doesn't really mean anything. it's a marketing term. I remember Darph telling me how rifts in Rift were this new "innovative dynamic content generation system" and I said, "They're random spawn EQ ring events you twat."

The one thing I hate about a great series like this is I find it incredibly hard to start reading other stuff. Just finished Cold Days after reading all 14 books in the last 2 months and now I'm like, "Well...what the fuck." I haven't really read a book since the mid-90's. Was refreshing to...

Well some EQ quests didn't pull any punches. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=166 Not often you get a quest to go perform an abortion.

Hah, sure. I can usually play from like mindnight to 2 or 4 am your time. <3

Man being able to switch regions is nice. Only stuck here for a few more months but being able to play a game without timing out every minute is nice. Nice to see the custom games are just as retarded in Euro land though. Oh gee, Desert Strike is #1, yay?

la~

Kaubel should have escalated his ticket then. I had my coldain shawl eaten because someone who was KOS to dwarves went linkdead and killed the guy I had just given my pieces to. First two guides and then a GM told me I was shit outta luck. Fourth one apologized for the inconvenience here's...

Rogues are pretty weak in vanilla DA2 unless you're playing one yourself. The prestige class Assassin is just stupid overpowered. Since every enemy wave consisted of 1 bad-ass and 3~5 regular mobs you just one shot the badass with the assassin and then AE'd the rest down.

Is it possible to change the mayors name? I got this on my Origin account for my wife to play and she doesn't like being Mayor Zehn.

Ugh. Not 150 pounds, 50 pounds tops. Sorry typo. Yeah, best bet sounded like just seeing about over-sized luggage. Hardest part of this is our contract handler is a piece of shit so we don't know what airline we'll be taking back to the States. Thanks for the recommendations guys. +1's...

The clash of personalities during EQ just won't happen again. There's too much money to be made or lost. I mean the one guy who could reach as many people (percentage wise) is Chaud who does the updates over at MMO-champ but there's no way Hubert is going to let him tell Ghostcrawler to go...

Google searching for this kind of blows all kinds of goat ass so I figured I'd ask here. When my wife and I return to the states in a few months we want to take a few items back with us. Our kids crib, high chair and two or three large toys. All told it doesn't weigh more then 150 pounds and...

I like to pretend that during development on DCUO Smedley held a conference expressing his concerns about how fun DCUO was and demanded someone find a way to make the game shit. "I know!" exclaimed one intern, "Let's give players a button that makes no fucking sense and is totally hamfisted...

Pretty sure the whole waiting to have sex thing to make a relationship more meaningful is some hollywood bullshit. You're going to have just shy of one billion anecdotes of why you should wait or why it won't matter. I imagine more important is not coming on too strongly or making her feel...

I really wish I could find a screenshot of some of the dev quotes from way back then when they'd post on fan sites. I mean just pure gold half the time. There was no censorship of thought back then either. I'm sure I'm misquoting but I remember Milo talking about how we should all stop...

http://web.archive.org/web/200001252...sp?Article=468 GZ interview about Wizards from 1999. Can you imagine this line coming from a Blizzard Dev now?

My favorite was Hellgate London offering the lifetime subscription fee for 200 bucks. Nothing screams "We have no faith in our product, let's see how many gullible fucks we can snake with this shit" like a lifetime sub.

You're still going to see mudflation. One idea we were kicking around is getting away from the stat-based RPG concept and go with a more adventure game theme of item progression. Think less Dragon Warrior where you go copper sword -> flame sword -> edrick's sword and more like Legend of Zelda...

One of my favorite fights in WoW was the arena fight in ToC. There's so much chaotic shit going on that any plan falls apart within a few seconds. You can't choreograph how you're going to fight it beyond who is responsible for what. There was a little bit of randomness every time in encounter...

I'm assuming like D3 this game is online only?

The wife and I will be moving to Pittsburgh in a few months. I'll give you all the cheese you want then. A young kid like you needs all the cheese he can get.

This is a huge double edged sword. I'm going to separate it into two topics. 1) Twinking. You know what's funny? I remember back to the old flameplay and shit and twinking used to be a massive goddamn problem. People farming shit for alts, twinks taking up all the spawns, etc...if you...

Long winded rant incoming. There was a discussion we had in the 38s thread briefly about how you would get away from the concept of 'dps' entirely from the game, or at least from boss fights. It went basically the same way as what happens if you remove healing. Think about it for a second...

You must never have met Tad.

I perfectly understand it. It's just hard to discuss the intrinsic value of something when you're operating from that point of view. To use a terrible analogy. Let's take a boat ride. Who doesn't love a good boat ride? Now imagine if you could only take that boat ride if you had to sit at...

This is that EQ mentality that really makes it hard to discuss rationally. How does the quote go? "It is not enough for me to succeed. Others must fail." Tad was the king of this. One example was the whole sitting and pulling vs. dungeon crawling. He felt that sitting and pulling was...
