    Board Games

    There's a Kickstarter for Wil Wheaton's Table Top Season 3. Some pretty cool rewards including Steam versions of board games, dice, and a Cards Against Humanity expansion: Tabletop Season 3 - With Wil Wheaton! | Indiegogo Also, they already surpassed the target to do a new show about RPGs.

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

    What I don't get is why don't they just make a coop 4-8 player RPG first? That will get IP name recognition out there, they can test the waters with game mechanics, and would take far less time/money/effort to make than an MMOG. You don't "need" an office for that. Guaranteed it could be done...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The old Daario was better. Also, didn't know he was a rapper. Can't say I like the song much though: Seems like a dumb move to leave the show, if only for future bedroom scenes with Khaleesi.

    Shouldn't that be the other way around? In EQ you had 8 ability slots. In WoW most classes have 4 hot bars full of shit and need about dozen macros just to be baseline effective for non-trivial content (e.g. hard modes, arena).

    H1Z1 (Not actually an MMO) - Server: Antidote (info in first post)

    With Planetside 2 engine can easily see this being feasible. DayZ and Left4Dead are pretty damn cool, but a zombie MMOG could approach something like the Walking Dead TV show but in a game.

    Shadowrun Returns

    Yeah, imho the best main character is a Street Samurai / Decker. Mainly because the hired runners all have absolutely turrible stat allocation. For my main in both campaigns, I put all points about evenly in in Quickness, Rifles, Dodge, intelligence, Decking, ESP, and my main guy was better than...

    ^ Ehh I couldn't get into Heritage at all. It was a like prog rock album better left in the 70's, and I love their Pink Floyd-esque stuff from earlier albums like Blackwater Park and Hearse. Heritage just didn't compare to that stuff. Anyway, I'm researching the gold mine that is YouTube for...

    TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Not sure what there is to 'ruin' with TMNT? IIRC it started as a somewhat dark b&w comic but the creators sold out big time almost immediately? The cartoons were godawful and, tbh I've never seen these movies, but they look pretty shitty from the trailers even for kids movies...

    Noah (2014)

    Hmm I wonder if there will be Unicorns in the movie? The events in Noah occur in Genesis but all Biblical references to Unicorns occur in later books. Therefore logically, Noah must have saved two Unicorns else how would people later on even know what Unicorns are? BibleGateway - Quick...

    ^ Exactly why we did it too. Payments are lower just in case. Paying it off early anyway so it shouldn't make much difference in total interest paid. Anyway, for those who say invest instead hmm it is a close call imho. If I just throw in an extra $1000 a month, I pay it off 16 years and 3...

    Finally used my VA loan. Got this in a nice tree-lined neighborhood where all garages are on back streets for $320k. VA loan so nothing down, no PMI, 4.2% interest, 30 year. Had some money saved up for down payment but it didn't change rates much. So I now I'm 6 months ahead on payments. Gonna...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Hmm yeah good point. Ganking in WoW is basically: (1) target some guy and (2) decide with ~90% certainty if you can kill him based on health (i.e. gear) and class. Not being able to see enemy class, health, mana, cast bars, etc. will make PVP a hell of a lot more of a gamble. At first I...

    Godot Engine (Free open source game engine from MIT)

    Haven't tried it yet, but if this is actually what they advertise, then it is basically a free and better Unity. Better IMHO, as in you aren't stuck going through the Unity level editor, they just give you a Main(), Update(), and Draw() and then you just use whatever functionality you need.

    My new game - Tornado Time for iOS and Android - 3D physics tornado destruction

    Pretty cool. Downloaded on my Nexus 7 tablet and my gf's 10-year-old son's Samsung Galaxy Light. Works great on both, no issues whatsoever. He really likes it. I got 350k on the first level but then he destroyed me with over 600k.

    Yeah, but to be fair there are supply and demand issues involved. AFAIK the supply of dungeon tiles that cool is fairly limited? Whereas, the supply of generic fantasy PVE MMOGs far outstrips the demand apparently.

    First high school reunion coming up

    Definitely go imho. I went to my 20th last year and it was a big drinking fest. Was pretty fun. I had just gotten divorced and brought a 25-ish year old date (I'm class of '93, she's class of '06). Earned some cool points for that I guess. Most looked great for being near 40. Although, I...

    AFAIK the companies behind the Kickstarters for Shadowrun Returns (single player RPG) and Shadowrun Online (MMOG) have nothing to do with each other beside licensing the IP. - Shadowrun Returns is a single player game for PC, MAC, IOS, Android and was made byHairbrained Schemeswhich is run by...

    Enchanter, Bard, and Monk would like to have a word with you. The difference between an average player and a great player at each class was huge.
