    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    I'm not sure how marketable a true Prey followup would be so close to the Doom reboot. Doom reboot really checked off many of the same boxes as Prey original. (but not all) System Shock style has been a pretty empty category for a while now. Even the closest fits aren't that close. Deus Ex is...

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    I don't think it was ever meant to be that type of game though - especially with the little references to "Looking Glass" and such that was in the demo [I think that was what they called the video tech or something?] it seems clear they were going for a System Shock style, not a mind-bending...

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    I liked the demo - but not to the degree to buy - definitely looks like something I'd play through once and be done with it (Gamefly tier). Pacing is very much like System Shock 2 with how it was feeling from the demo - slow but steady reveals besides the jumpscare mimics. And the potential to...

    Sirius XM

    Likes Creed and Christian Rock, hates Pearl Jam - silly kids. Not to mention, if you can't stand PJ it seems weird to not downvote Lithium considering they sneak in a PJ song every hour or so.... [Not to mention how many music reviewers compare Creed to some of Pearl Jam's catalog - something...

    Still sounds like video level for me - I don't bother seeing too much in the theater, pretty much just the best of the best. But thank you for the review.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    We were keeping him consistently aggroed with him being yoinked out of the aggro spot ASAP so that he wouldn't chain aggro off the stuff running to (and porting in many cases) to the spot. Logs have comments of other pullers (I was the junior on the team so I wasn't really too involved in...

    It's not that weird with EA related stuff to be on sale insanely early. Not to mention poor review scores/etc

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    The CT pull trick is something that is a symptom of changes in the past 20 years, FYI. Felt the need to state that since there was an implication in there with the 20 yrs statement earlier in there that it was ALWAYS doable. No clue when it started functioning, but back in my pulling days (I...

    Indeed - its why I've taken to making sure we've always got cheese and crackers when the in-laws come to our home. Every fucking time they visited for the longest timeframe they'd opt to make themselves some popcorn to snack while here, and even with a popcorn button on the microwave that works...

    Ah shit.... sorry, I'd lost track of time due to some panic attack level shit... >< Was still dealing with it up until just nowish. (Let's just say, it might be for the best I've got that other job opportunity I'm waiting to hear back on the results of my interview from... got a feeling I might...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Honestly, probably 2 weeks will do it for most people with LJ/RF XP rates. (1 week leveling, 1 week getting drops squared away) Only chasing rare items from underutilized zones will really take that long (i.e. FBE - with the new "closing instances" changes I expect FBE to be pretty obnoxious...

    I can't recall if she got the forages in classic, but the planar drops absolutely are available in classic. (The forages take like 5-10 min a piece with max forage anyhow)

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I wouldn't be too sure of that - mages and SKs both were pretty rare on the first batch of TLP - and keep ramping up in popularity each TLP generation as the "word gets out". And unlike mages, SKs didn't get any nerfs to turn people off of them. And druids have been almost non-existent this...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Would depend entirely on the era - for Agnarr... Classic -- PAL, DRU, BRD, ENC, MAG, MAG PoP -- SK, CLR, BRD, ENC, WIZ, RNG Would probably be my crazy 6-man for early-server/end-server if I was doing solo and wanted to min-max in each era. If you're talking more than 1 human I'd tweak it a bit...

    It's not awful - but KBM juggling can get annoying quickly. Still waiting to hear if the Steamstreaming thing was for real or a theory/joke though - too busy to test run something like that this week (interviews lined up for something with MUCH better pay than my current WAH/set your own hours...

    Indeed for dual boot or some version of Win10 - I'd even consider it at $600 - past that I'd be dubious

    Hmm - you can set up Truebox EQ with something like that? That would be beautiful.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I know the feeling, redone my desk config since Phin - if her and I play 3 boxes between us doesn't seem to hard to swing with the current setup - but god help me if I know where we'd put a 4th box for her. (Screen space being the primary concern)

    To be fair though, your disposable income sounds insane. Although knock on wood, I might be there soon myself if I score at the interview tomorrow. I'll lose out on most of doing my own scheduling but nearly triple my personal earnings. It's still worth it when you've got a lesser gaming budget...

    I absolutely prefer control myself - but control tools are pretty weak ATM for the mostpart. Closest thing I've seen in the metagame is playing a topheavy purple blue with the ridiculous removal suite. (I guess the weapon + Harsh builds are too, but they've always seemed ineffective to me)...

    I've got zero experience with such things (not even messed with a Win10 mobile device to date) - but if there's no means to prevent such, yea, that does sound like a problem.
  24. Vaclav

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Well, yea, I'm sure if they did it would be one of the mobile platform Win 10 versions to inherently limit it.
  25. Vaclav

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yea, I doubt it as well - but the value skyrockets if they do that. Would be a great marketing move though.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    If they do that, I'm probably sold on one, even just as an extra low-end PC for shit like Trueboxing EQ and running a media server.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    The one right outside Cab (Warsliks) really seemed to be the roadblock one, and the threshold there was closer to 40 to spawn a pick from what I saw. With a dozen or so lurkers at any time so a die roll on who switches quicker. And since it's a hated XPing zone it's not like natural pop there...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    More than a few of us "progression people" like the idea of catching up to modern EQ without the shellshock of skipping 16 expansions or whatever. And some of the later expansions like DoDH (minus the stupid monster missions - they were a waste of time mostly) are pretty damn amazing. Even GoD...

    Ok, that makes it less ludicrous to add a serverwide for her then I guess. I can only imagine how hellish the goblins will be with her being instanced though, lol. Really nice for Greenmist though I guess.

    Speaking of Drus: Did they ever get around to instancing Drus? Or that still a "we'll do that eventually" thing that they dropped the ball on?

    Eternal the Card Game

    Shrug - I personally stick to decks focused on lower CMC stuff to avoid that problem as a rule of thumb - if something is CMC>4 I think long and hard before including it. The only way I've gotten topheavy decks to work is a control shell and some success using Azindel w/ sacrificial shit. And...

    Purple has Plague (3 CMC) and the Shadow one (5 CMC) that do well at curtailing zerg as well.
