    I am getting a wireless charger for the nexus 5, there is some neat batterypack/wireless thingy that will likely get me arrested in airports and or blow up and take my leg off but it will be cool! I just have to find it again.

    Parents Computer Died, Need Help Picking Out Something Cheap

    I would almost say a tablet. Especially if they have the computer in a little back room squirrelled away. Depends on your folks of course, but my 72 year old Mom who is computer illiterate has taken to the tablet like a duck to water. Dad has had a computer in the house for like 35 years, she...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    If I hit the lottery, I would design a game that The server clusters would be a continent, each server would be a township or "State" and npc guilds and player guilds would be the towns and cities. There would be overworld commodities like food, water, ore, oil, power crystals and the like...

    Alternatives to Oil Heating that aren't Natural Gas.

    Seal up each room nice and tight, put on sweats and light the pet on fire. If you have a goldfish sucks to be you. Oh you were serious. We use natural gas, it is great. Then the power goes out and you have heat and no way to get it around the rest of the house. Each of the plans has...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    +Rate players you group with for xp. You group with some dudes in a dungeon, you give the tank a rating on tankyness, dps, knowledge of fights and leadership. Rate the healer on the same with healyness. Reward people for playing with new people too. More xp, higher % of loot drops for # of new...

    So Utnayan, do something about it. Get your shit started, get some people together, invest in an idea and make the game you want to play. Maybe McQuaid and Schilling could tilt at you for a change.

    Yeah they need to end it. Beckett went from interesting, fun, and a little damaged in early and middle season 2, to whatever the hell she is now.

    Oh good lord. Vertical leveling. 1-50 Horizontal leveling tier 1-5 with 10 segments in between. To get to tier 2 you have to get all the tier 1 pieces. Like 10 of em. Pretty close to the same damn thing, dressed up in dev speak. If a tier 5 dude is the same power as a tier 1 with more...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The feature is smart devs pushing a consistent game mechanic from level 1 on. And actually upping the ante. Not starting at level x where the real game starts. And having mechanics effect mobs as well means there can be more than get out of the fire. You can set up the mobs too. Like that one...

    I wish devs would have some innovative ideas. Everyone is familiar with autoattack what if you could take a chain of common use spells in every game and have a choice to autoattack with them. Rather than just standard white damage you could put the filler into choice. Like a castsequence chain...

    Give me a Magic Carpet 2 Game with rideable fantasy monsters and wow gnome Gyrocopters and the voxel farm engine, and I think I could die a very happy gamer. Likely 3-4 days after it comes out from a lack of sleep. But I will be smiling.

    Even if the game is a disappointment to people here, I am buying it for the enjoyment I get out of the devspeaks and the character intros.

    Is the game going to cup you softly and lead you into the perfect MMO dream of 50 levels of ecstasy. No. It will be fun for a few weeks to months depending on your level of jaded assholishness. Then the new smell wears off, the music gets repetitive, the goofy ass monsters start to become...

    Wow Vanilla AI was already quite smart. Tanks had to work to keep aggro. Some folks loved the challenge. They were the good tanks, the rockstars.
