He needed cover in case Iran and Syria follow through on their threats and go after Israel after he bombs Syria. Because in that case he might have to put some boots on ther ground.

No, you'll win because Boehner is going to get the House to approve. You lose if the Senate votes yes and the House votes no. Bu tthe House won't vote no.

Not until 5:30 PM today. Stream at 6:00PM PDT.

I don't mind the stylistic approach, in general. I mind the DEs. When I saw Disney's Tangled I said - that's what EQ3 should look like for all the usual reasons (longevity, etc., etc.) but even Disney's Tangled had some nasty looking bad guys (and some nasty looking good guys).

Which is why the better move was for him to annouce he wasn't going to do anything about Syria beyond econmoic sanctions or whatever today. The best outcome is us not bombing Syria. I think he's confident he can get Congress to approve the measure and, as noted, I think he's right. So at the...

You can, but SOE shouldn't. See my comments about Red Letter Media. SOE isn't good enough as a company to break away from traditional fantasy themes. They should stick to what they knew instead of going for a post-modern EQ where we're all just shades of grey.

Classified briefing to Congress (who are in town). http://www.politico.com/politico44/2...ng-171538.html

Credit where credit is due. It was a very nice move. Obama "I'm against killing babies, what about you Congress? Are you against killing babies? Don't tell me you're _for_ killing babies. A vote against bombing Syria is a vote for killing babies" Congress will vote for the bombing. 2...

I think Congress approves.

Yes, he's still going to bomb, it's just a matter of when.

Hahahah. Nope. I've done my Avatar bet for the year. I think he gets approval, but I'm not going to bet on it.

I think he gets Congressional approval. The Dems have to back him and there are enough R Hawks to give him the win.

Yep, we can call it. You win this round Tuco. So from today until October 1st. One month.

Yep, I think Obama believes he can win the Congressional vote (and I agree with him - he already has Pelosi, Reid, McCain & Co. so he just needs a handful of House defectors). So we do bomb but not until next weekend. Edit: I've lost. Congress not back until the 9th. -_-

So Congress returns Tuesday?

Key & Peele on deck.

May still happen after Thursday. Between now and a month.

We're taking action.

Sure he has control over it - no dobut he's waiting for the teleprompter to get data uploaded. And you are right, I shouldn't have waited around for this - though who wants to work on a Saturday ;-)

In comparison to the DE's, the Kerran Lion-O is fine. DEs are one of the most popular races, Kerrans not so much.

It's a little fucking annoying. I'm going to be late now. 5 minutes I understand, but 30 minutes late? Is Obama taking time out for a little afternoon delight with one of the interns?

Tweet the devs and ask why the model is so different from the concept art.

Nah they looked pretty similiar to old Male Art.

15 minutes late and I need to go work -_-. Come on Big O.

The DE Concepts were shown this year at SOELive and are up on the EQNext site. So SOE doesn't get a pass. @gogojira for the record, I actually agree with Teekey on the dwarf chicks, not ideal, but not something I'd worry about. Who the hell plays dwarf chicks anyway. Besides that crazy...

http://www.politico.com/politico44/2...ay-171540.html Looks like he won't be annoucing strikes today. Just his 'decision making process'. Whatever that means.

Probably true. Certainly I shilled for Vanguard back in the day. However, my posts were usually of the form "Yes, but". I would agree with some of the criticism ("Yes VG was super buggy", whatever) then I would add "but the classes are great." This guy on reddit tries to dispute obvious...

If you'll re-read my comments - you'll note that I'm not talking just about lore. I'm talking about traditional story-telling elements. So yes SOE "should" abide by traditional story telling elements, one of which is the need for strong villians. Since you're going to reply something to...

I honestly think he's a shill - not a paid shiill, mind you - but someone who works in SOE CS or something who didn't get fired. Nobody could be that obtuse.

My thought too. I'm guessing he's telegraphing to the Syrians because he wants to limit any actual damage. Give everyone time to get into their bomb shelters. Then bombs away. Done, Finished, We can all go home.

I get where you are coming from buddy. But it's the wrong choice for EQN, or any RPG. DE's should start evil and you should be able, as a player, to overcome that and become non-KOS in "good" cities and able to succesffully group with "good" races. Similiarly, Dwarves should start good and...

I would take Twilight Vampires over that DE any day of the week.

More Landmark info coming from PAX at 5:30PDT. Ten Ton Hammer ?@TenTonHammer 8m #PAX Day One brought us more info about what makes EQ Landmark a true MMORPG. Embargo drop at 5:30p PT today, so stay tuned!

1:15 EDT Obama on Syria at WH.

So if EQ Classic is dead what are the options for PvE Classic era emulators then? Are there any that aren't horrible - or is EQMac the only option?

Nah. This makes more sense to me than even the Qatari pipeline and explains the run up to war just prior to the October budget negotiations. Obama can make common cause with McCain and other hawks and get a defense spending and social spending increase. Edit: And it only takes some missle...

http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-mone...-in-debt-talks So these guys think Obama will bomb Syria so he'll have an edge in the upcoming budget negotiations. Who knew killing a bunch of Syrians could be a budget negotiation tool, Right?

As one of the few people who really liked the human model, likes the dwarf model and didn't mind either the Kerran or the dwarf chicks let me just say you're full of shit on the DE model. The issue with the DE model _isn't_ that it looks like fan art of Aladdin as one of Cameron's Navi. The...

Art models have to be approved by Butler (Creative Director.) who approves everything else...

It's a worthless subreddit. If SOE listens to them then EQN deserves to fail. Though it probably won't. Right now they're not making Diablolcraft. It's more Diablolcraftrealms. I just got a huge Free Realms vibe from the latest artwork.
