    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Did they relax the transfer restrictions on Legacy servers? I've been on Excalibur for years since transferring there with old FFXI friends but they've long since quit and the FC went the way of the dodo. Could do with being able to transfer to an EU server now but don't want to start the...

    Can't say I'm sad about this. Hopefully all that spare time can be used on some CBT.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I didn't know that about the Irontoe Brigade etc. or the zones he made. Will definitely raise a glass to him later today.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Torn on this. ME2 is one of my favourite games of all time and I loved the hell out of ME3 co-op missions but fuck you Starchild RGB ending! Fuck you I say!

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I enjoyed SB but I honestly felt it didn't have a definitive ending. That said, SB introduced the annoying concept of battles you can't win as part of the story arc which they've carried over to ShB. It nettles me to waste time on fights where the adversary just KO's you when you take 5%...

    Thing is, even if they fire her worthless ass she's still managed to amass a net worth of around $150mil while forever tainting our childhood memories.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I have to wonder what George Lucas thinks of the whole situation. He must be massively regretting selling his baby to Disney, I'm fairly sure he didn't need the cash but whatever continuity of his vision he may have been promised it didn't take long for them to utterly destroy it.

    Someone needs to work the above in to this scene.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I admit to watching it again as I have Disney+. Mandalorian is a bonus but mainly for the huge marvel cartoon nostalgia hit. Despite skipping past all the shit parts to anything remotely resembling action I found it truly fucking awful. I won't be watching any of the last three movies again...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'd personally choose Whm out of those three. Signficantly faster party invites (Healer vs Dps) and pretty much unkillable for any solo quest content. Rdm is too but probably a bit too much of a learning curve for a returning player whereas Whm leans a little too far in the other direction.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    From my experience, once you get some of the Duty Roulettes unlocked it pays to hammer those. There's a shitload of MSQ gunk after the old 50 endgame but once you have MSQ Duty (Castrum/Praetorium) unlocked that provides a significant daily exp boost. It is painful getting through all of the...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    If you buy the latest expansion do you get all the preceding ones? I think the last I bought was probably OoW... Though to be fair, I'd probably log in and spend 3 days fucking around with custom UIs, kill some shit in the Hole with my pally, roll a level 1, get lost in Freeport, complain...

    Trying to work out if I have time to pick up a lappy before this server launches. It'll most likely be crickets on UK time so I guess I could finally try out playing a necro.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Weren't GoD and OoW supposed to release at the same time? I vaguely remember the stink because GoD was essentially tuned for a level cap increase but they tried to be greedy bastards and split the expansions and sold one most people struggled to get past the first raid on. I left around that...

    Random fact. I live about ten minutes away from Syacamore Gap where that scene was filmed.

    These quests from 70 to 80 are as painful as ever. Run across the zone to click on something, fight a mob that spawns, run all the way back. Pick up some aetheryte and then when you're just about done with the zone you get the quests to unlock flight in the zone. Rinse repeat. They've been...

    Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

    $2k to use the Herman Miller name and $595 for the desk. I like the lines of it, pretty minimalist, but something like that is way down the list right now.

    Clearly this is where I fucked up in ME3. I wasted all that time recruiting useless humanoids and should have just skipped straight to a Thresher Maw.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Is there a benchmark for running EQ at max spec? I'm flirting with the idea of grabbing a laptop to play this and FFXI on but don't want to blow a load on a machine way too overpowered for a 21 year old game.

    The Mandalorian

    You could take the Mandy out the show and replace him with any one of the cool bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe and most people wouldn't blink. Strip out baby Yoda and the series has no central plotline and just becomes Kung Fu in space without the dodgy asian make-up and unconvincing...

    It's only called the Mandalorian because no one bothered to invent a home planet for Yoda's race.

    Playstation 5

    You reminded me of the PS2 launch. I managed to score a pre-order and ebayed it for twice the selling price and then proceeded to not buy another. Think it's the first and last time I bought a console I never used, I was PC master race around that time though, full on EQ poopsock.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Don't necessarily agree with this. You had Gold Saucer in FF7, the various open world monster hunts in 13 (or was it 13-2), you could tool around in the past in 15 or hunt for the Royal Arms despite that game being accused of being hugely on the rails. I haven't played the new one so won't...

    Playstation 5

    I think the announcement of backwards compatibility has swung me to the PS5. At least I'll still be able to play stuff like FFXIV and Borderlands 3 while I wait a year and a half for a semi-decent title to release that begins to use the PS5's increased power.
