Who gives a flying fuck about WoW's numbers? Citing its popularity is like arguing that Twilight popularized vampire movies. Games like EQ and UO had a substantial American following long before WoW was even a concept.

Some people simply lack the capacity for critical thought and understanding context. EQ popularized the fucking genre in the west. I cant believe some of you are suggesting otherwise. Who cares about WoW? It did nothing to improve the genre but add choreographed raids to the end of a very...

Kirun, Dark Souls has sold almost 3 million copies. Are you some kind of moron?

Seth Meyers doesn't have the charisma to be a talk show host. Who were the other candidates?

Using games like Darkfall and Vanguard to reject the notion that "hardcore" MMOs could ever succeed is just ridiculous. Darkfall was an amateur hackjob and was just plain boring. Vanguard was rife with bugs and had a host of other issues, not to mention that it was released during WoW's peak. If...

I can't believe I keep tuning in every week. The last two seasons have been some of the worst television I can remember watching.

Any movie that finds an excuse to get that many A-list actors in the same room probably isn't going to be good. I knew this would suck 10 seconds into the trailer.

Grande and ATT U-Verse are the best options.

Ok, if it's one of this hallucinations then the points I made still stand. Nearly all the shots in the final scene make no sense in that context.

By ending, do you mean the spacefaring Freddy Kruger or Cillian Murphy's closing scene?

I don't know if the director intended the ending to be ambiguous, but many of the shots and filming techniques suggest the storm is real. There are no dreamlike qualities to the final scene. If it were indeed a dream, the shot of the wife in the kitchen is completely pointless considering a...

Also, I thought The Departed's ending was pretty satisfying. What's better than a corrupt Matt Damon getting whacked by Mark Wahlberg?

It's been years since watching it, but if I recall correctly, members of the crew board a seemingly derelict ship and are killed by its Freddy Krueger-looking captain. I remember that it basically turned into a horror movie near the end.

Take Shelter is phenomenal for the first two hours. It's packed with powerhouse performances and suspense and you think it's going to be a real examination of mental illness until the final scene that shows the protagonist's premonitions are coming true. Just a complete buzzkill.

Has anyone ever had an experience with a driver who's insured by the same company? Another State Farm customer hit my car, we both gave our versions of events, and State Farm made us pay our own deductibles even though the damage to our cars made no sense under the circumstances the other driver...

I don't think I've ever wanted a movie to fail this hard.

Sorry. It was a bogus injury claim.

A couple of years ago, my sister lightly tapped a car belonging to this piece of shit ex-marine and he ended up getting a settlement. I tried finding out where he lived so I could destroy his car but wasn't successful.

Nirvana addressed this when they played Top of the Pops in 1991. The producers wanted them to mime their instruments, etc. and this is what happened. And by no means am I an Eminem fan, but I remember seeing his performance on MTV Video Awards (I think that was it) several years ago and...

Conceptually, parts of the game are appealing but it LOOKS like a game from 1999 and based on several interviews, Brad McQuaid is still unsure of the game's direction.

Fuck Florida. Seattle or Austin would be a much better place to establish their business.

What does WoW's success have to do with EQ? WoW's population largely comprises people who had never played an MMO before.

Aradune, are you going to use some of your money to finance this MMO? You have to be loaded.

I understand that games in the alpha stage are usually quite unrefined, but why would you charge people knowing there is such little land to accommodate people?

I'm a staunch supporter of older, more "hardcore" design and even I know that a simple LFG window isn't going to betray the community-building qualities of a game. In Everquest, what did you do if you were looking for classes outside of your current zone (after they implemented the LFG tag)? You...

Casters were squishy so there had to be some trade-off. I seriously don't understand why people want classes to be homogenized. Not once in EQ was I pissed that casters could bind or sometimes solo stuff I couldn't. I could train most stuff without getting killed while a caster would die in a...

I never played a druid or wizard in EQ and never had a problem with mobility. I'd either spend 5 minutes running to my destination or 5 minutes looking for someone to port me and I'd send them some bullshit like "Please, sir. I will pay 5 pp for a port." MMOs need to avoid the "get in and get...

I'm skeptical of tv shows that have this much promotion and this much focus on how stuff was made before the premiere, and the pilot pretty much confirmed my fears. There's nothing dark about this show and the CGI is terrible.

Did they ever fix Mads Mikkelsen's mumbling? I watched the first two episodes a long time ago and I swear I needed subtitles to understand him.

Everyone is aware that it can be difficult to clean up the predecessor's mess and that Congress can pose problems, but Obama is such a political dodger that it's hard for shit to gain traction. Hurrr, I don't support gay marriage. Oh wait, Yes I do. I support marijuana legalization *proceeds to...

Perpetuating these measures is just as bad as implementing them. On top of that, Obama is much more insidious than Bush. I suppose he's great if you're into superficial charm and frequent flip-flopping, but he's the complete opposite of the progressive candidate that people supported. Wiretaps...

I don't give a shit if he didn't initiate them. He fully endorses them.

While I agree that Bush supporters' fears are a little ridiculous, Obama is the worst president of the last 30 years. PRISM, Patriot Act, fiscal irresponsibility, warmongering (Nobel Peace Prize huh).

That was easily the stupidest episode of the series. The prison that contains Ben Turner looks like a jail in a podunk town, Roy is standing a few feet from Arrow IN BROAD DAYLIGHT and can't tell it's Oliver, and the person on trial for mass murder is now running for mayor.

Forming tenuous, unstructured groups with people you never even talk to is one of the lamest MMO concepts I've seen implemented in the last decade. Did people actually like that about GW 2?

It's his son's broken sword. I know that living beings can become wraiths but I'm not sure under what circumstances. Are all wraiths necessarily agents of Sauron?

You can't recapture the old EQ feeling on those emulated servers because they have such a small community. There are probably 100 people who play on the pvp server. It's kind of sad.

9 minutes worth of gameplay footage was released Dark Souls 2 Gameplay - YouTube I'm not impressed by what I watched. I was expecting a significant change in scenery (kind of like the difference between Demon's Souls and Dark Souls) but this looks like Dark Souls DLC or something. Also, I...

Mark Jacobs raised 2 million bucks for Camelot Unchained. I don't see why Pantheon couldn't do the same.

So, there's no encounter-locking mechanism in place and loot will be shared? Please tell me I am wrong.
