    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    ^ Not to mention, the poorer and dumber you are, the more likely you are to commit crime. Scandinavians are in general better educated and have a better standard of living than Americans. Meanwhile we have inner city slums that are essentially mini-Somalias full of uneducated poor with low...

    Hmm wow the Blaze is doing rifle reviews. So it now has 3 redeeming qualities: (1) gun home defense reports, (2) rifle reviews, and (3) some of the most insane comments this side of WND and FreeRepublic. Blaze Review: DRD Tactical AR-15 Rifle | TheBlaze.com

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    Actually 1 thing the Blaze is useful for: pretty much every time there is a successful home defense with a gun that makes local news, The Blaze reports it nationally. If you have any super anti-gun friends (I do) you can send them sometimes multiple articles a day from The Blaze about...

    Yeah got to love the lame Facebook rants about how the President is directly responsible for people's personal economic failures. Did Mitt Romney cry on Facebook about any pesky recessions? Nope he bootstrapped and still made $$$. Oh and Chaos, can't go wrong with C, C++, then C# in that...

    Weird how all the following Kickstarters were not only funded in days, but in many cases massively over-funded, but this one doesn't seem on track. - Wasteland 2 (Wasteland/Fallout successor) - Torment (Planescape successor) - Elite Dangerous (Elite successor) - Double Fine Adventure (a...

    Yeah agreed. What's really weird is that I haven't played EQ since PoP but... The other night I had a dream that a bunch of dudes wanted to kick my ass, but then I Fading Memories and they left me alone.

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

    Ehh most of the discussion seems pretty valid. I have used Unreal, CryEngine, and FEAR engine all in commercial products. Obviously performance is developer-dependent, but I'm a bit skeptical about Unity performance based on the games I have tried. Using the exact same laptop for all 3 games...

    Brad, get Furor and Tigole to name check Pantheon on twitter and the WoW forums. Those guys basically wouldn't have jobs in the industry if EQ never existed. Its the least they can do.

    Hopefully Rise of the Fallen is better than Revenge of the Fallen: In for $45 bucks. Don't have time/interest to beta test, don't care about titles, but at least gets a name reservation.

    Wouldn't mind seeing combat/non-combat go away. Kinda dumb you can't sit down and eat a sandwich because someone else in the party is fighting.

    Board Games

    In Descent if you have less than 4 players, it is generally a good idea to have someone play more than 1 character. If just 2 players, then one player would run the full party of 4 characters. The other player would be the Overlord and run the monsters and scenario. Like most board games it is...

    Another option for tactical fantasy gaming would be Descent 2nd edition. It is kinda like D&D-lite as well: Fantasy Flight Games [Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition] One box includes all the dice, maps, and minis you will need for a while. Check the reviews section on...

    Just switched to T-Mobile from AT&T. Don't notice any difference in service but bill is about $20 less per month than the same tier At&T plan (which has lower bandwidth cap). Also got a Nexus 5 which is pretty damn sweet, especially the price. BTW, was looking up phone stats. I knew Android...

    Ehh I dunno, Pathfinder for newbies to D&D, none of which have ever played, might not be such a great idea. How about the starter edition red box? Dungeons Dragons Roleplaying Game : Red Box That way you can all get an idea of what the game is like and only 1 person has to shell out $20...

    RPGs of 2014

    Haha. I won about 80% of fights in DA:O before they even started by dropping Mage AE slow/ AE damage spells through walls. Not sure how they never noticed/cared area effect spells could be dropped through walls. Game was still fun though.

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    ^ Yeah I kickstarted Wasteland 2, Torment, and Eternity. Wasteland 2 is essentially Fallout 1/2/Tactics successor. Torment and Eternity should be Baldur's Gate successors.

    Downtempo

    Another vote for Carbon Based Lifeforms. Their first two albums are some of the best electronic music I've ever heard - in any genre. A lot of ambient/downtempo stuff gets boring due to simple predictable melodies and repetition. But these guys add so many layers of complexity to their tracks...

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

    You pretty much have to have "the magic bubble" in a seamless world game. Sadly it seems to be ridiculously small in most games, WoW especially. A one mile far-clip plane is kinda pointless if you can only see mobs 100 yards away. ;( But yeah, back in EQ you could see everything in the zone...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Played both Healer and Spiritmaster to high RR level back in the day. Both were in-demand in both PVP and PVE. Spiritmaster solos well with pet, great for AOE groups which are very fast XP/loot. Healers are OP with spread heals, aoe mez, aoe stun. If you want everyone begging you to be in their...

    Too many games?

    I limit myself to: 1 PC game installed 1 console game disk I can't buy a new PC game until I finish the current game. Same with the 1 console game, which I always trade in for the next game. Seems to work and there is incentive to finish.

    There was some discussion about it in another thread, but it is still unfathomable how Games Workshop still has no interest in making a straight up online translation of the tabletop Warhammer Game.
