    If stuff doesn't spawn always in the same place can it really be contested?

    Whatever happens, this game better have snakes that kick or it will suck.

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    It is the XBox version of the board game. I never knew it existed. Looks like Big Huge Games developed it. ??oThe Settlers of Catan??? for Xbox 360 | Catan.com Board game is classic.

    Ahh my bro had Soundwave and his tapes. Was a huge DinoBot fan myself. Also, Cobra characters and vehicles from GI Joe. Favorite was Firefly.

    Hehe yeah good point. Np. Yeah same here. I'm not big on beta testing either but couldn't resist trying this.

    Wasteland 2

    The NPC interface is interesting. They give you a some pre-set choices but you can also free type any keywords. Screens from my laptop running on medium settings. Haven't played with vid settings at all. Overland travel map is like Fallout. Your party consumes water (bottom...

    Wasteland 2

    You can customize 4 characters for your party or use the premades. Already spent an hour on this heh. Very strong Fallout 1/2/Tactics vibe even in character creation.

    Project Eternity - Spiritual Successor to Planescape/Icewind Dale/Baldurs Gate games

    I funded the following: - Shadowrun Returns: already released a decent, albeit short game, and a new campaign is coming - Grim Dawn: early access is on Steam now - Wasteland 2: looking pretty damn good in vids - Torment: still in early development Those 4 games have little to no chance...

    So, do you think there will be a Second American Revolution?

    Dude assault rifles are a dime a dozen these days. Why don't you round up a few good men with a few good ARs and take the first shot bro?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Personally, it is because I didn't sign up for "shopkeeper simulator online". Though I acknowledge a lot of people enjoy trade aspects of online games and it is probably an under-served market. A potential compromise would be to have an escrow service (not AH) where players put their items in...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Someone mentioned on that IO9 thread for the Iron Fist TV show they need to use Motorhead for the theme song. Would be pretty badass.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    That's kinda what the show is about ... how regular humans that work for SHIELD deal with problems in a world of mutants. Besides, this is TV and the CG budget for an unproven show would never allow for 1st stringers like Iron Man, Thor, or Hulk to appear on every episode. Notice the4 new Marvel...

    What is the Best first episode?

    This is a pretty good list considering I can vividly remember most of what happened on the first episodes of all 3 of these shows. Yeah BSG and Lost kinda went off the rails a bit later, but damn those were some memorable 1st episodes. Rome and Deadwood are superior quality shows overall to Lost...

    Ender's Game (2013)

    Read book a loonnng time ago. Movie was great but I agree it felt short. Definitely could have added extra 20-30 mins but I suppose it is better to err on the short side. Edit: They did a Half in the Bag on it. Think they may have been a bit too harsh on it, but yeah, Harrison Ford needs to...

    Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade

    Yeah good point. Just run it like M:TG or any of the other online CCGs. Buy new units, monthly ladder tourneys, use it as qualifiers for world tourneys, etc.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    A potential drawback to AE damage is it pretty much forces AE healing? Yeah BW/Sorc AE damage was ridiculous but it could be countered by equally ridiculous WP/DoK AE heals. Imagine how even more OP Bright Wizards would have been if only single target heals existed...

    More patent war buffoonery if anyone cares. The original $1 billion suit by Apple against Samsung isnow down to $290 million, and will likely be appealed again. This shit is so out of hand when you can patenta rectangle with rounded corners... with 15 alleged "inventors", really? Especially...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Hmm, I kinda want this game to be good since I enjoyed Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, but I have to admit that given therelease date is 4-5 months awayand they are only beta testing 1-17 content which people will blow through in a few days, with intermittent server up time no less, is cause...

    Fallout 4

    Yeah, the best part about Fallout Tactics was driving around in an APC, real-time mode, with sniper rifles in the window ports, and running over shit. Would be nice to see that in Fallout 4 in addition to multiplayer. The no-vehicles deal is probably due to whatever mediocre-ish engine...

    Pathfinder Online

    uhh wow never heard about that On a side note, this is still looking to be a huge misuse of the Pathfinder IP. Why they don't license a company to make a Baldur's Gate / Dragon Age clone set in Pathfinder (essentially 3rd edition D&D) completely unfathomable.

    Grim Dawn

    I was confused and looked into this. You had to buy in at least $35 on Kickstarter to have access now: Buy Grim Dawn - Crate Entertainment There is also early access on Steam for $29.99 where so far only the first act is available: Grim Dawn on Steam I gave the minimum on Kickstarter...

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    Besides that this is some obvious bought-and-paid-for bullshit legislation, should it even be legal to make 'classified' laws ... especially when they pertain to (allegedly) free market businesses? How the hell are you supposed to even know your business is running afoul of a classified trade...

    Warhammer Online RIP

    Yeah the WP AOE healing was kinda OP at first, but once you got one of those super fast Righteous Fury (mana) regen hammers it was insane. I don't remember them being that hard to obtain. I won it randomly when taking a keep. The class seemed initially designed so that you would have to hit...

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    Finally picked this up and the latest patched really did add some nice upgrades including better UI and crisp fonts. Doing solo multiplayer mode so I can make all 6 characters. Current setup is: - Paladin (Blackguard) - Fighter (Dwarven Defender) - Bard (Skald) - Cleric (Priest of...

    Pathfinder Online

    If the game really is a fantasy Eve online (all players in single world, zero instancing, everything tradeable, multiple economic hubs, town building, guild vs guild warfare, zone control) then those graphics are more than sufficient.

    Gamer Retirement Homes

    Yeah, location would matter. Would have to be in the suburbs (so business class is available) around a less trendy city (so prices aren't that high). Prices sound high in MD. I'm looking for a 5-bedroom around Orlando and can easily find nice ones with a pool for $250k-$300k range. Mortgage...

    Why wait until retirement when disability and food stamps exist? - get a bunch of people on disability and food stamps - rent 5 bedroom house and business class internet Then just give extra DKP to whoever cleans or cooks.

    Warhammer Online RIP

    Kinda sad and nostalgic for my Warrior Priest (was in Ruin on the Open RVR server Dark Crag) so I checked out the forums. WTF isthis sticky thread? So the lead moderator quit, put up a sticky talking shit about the company, admits to removing mod powers from the game's lead developer, and that...

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

    Why not? SOE pretty much owes everything to EQ. All they had before that was Tanarus and Infantry. They would never have Star Wars Galaxies, DCUO, etc... if not for EQ. Similarly to how Valve owes its entire empire to the guys who made Counter-Strike. If they had chosen a different engine for...
