There is alot of crazy boring shit in the Silmarilion. But there is also a metric fuckton of epic awesomeness that would translate quite well to film, stuff that isn't as familiar to most people as the Hobbit or the Fellowship. War of Wrath, Battle of Sudden Flame, Earandil striking down...

Well, this group of players is going to have help that the generations before them didn't have. OR, at least a spotlight on and a better understanding of their situations. Maybe tragedies like Seau and Duerson will make life better for current players when they get to that point.

I've played exclusively PC and haven't crashed at all during cutscenes. The only CTDs I've had were during multiplayer matches, about 1 in every 10 times I approach a relic/heirloom/scroll collection thing, I crash out. Very strange. also, looks like some kind of multiplayer map expansion...

I do believe this launched today. Anyone in on it with some Day 1 thoughts? Apparently there is some kind of monetary reward for the first players to reach Elite status in the different categories, something that I am sure appeals to some folks here. This is something I will check out...

That was a nifty little change. I wonder if they are going to tackle shit like level scaling weirdness/progression smoothening in the patches? That would be serious. Also, despite its relative sub-par-ness, I have totally sunk into the multiplayer. Strictly random pug games because my normal...

I agree. I just got into this finally yesterday and today, and at first I was like, alright, this sucks. Then I started to see what was going on, levelled up a few classes into the teens (they go pretty fast), unlocked a few others, and thought, alright, I can see how this can suck you in...

JJ Abrams? No way that is a coincidence.

I wonder if that's a nod to the original - I mean, alright, it was 25+ years ago, so my memories are a bit fuzzy, but I seem to recall a total lack of instructions, in game help, anything on the C64 version. You got stuck in your ship outside of Lave with 100 credits and that was that.

I think there is a mission on the map you have to do first, 'Training for the Inquisitor' or something like that. Appears right off once you get to skyhold.

Man, I am enjoying the shit out of this. The character interaction and banter is enjoyable, the story is decent and more than Dragon-agey enough for my inner lore nerd, the gameplay not so bad, and it feels so massive with shit all over the place to collect, explore, etc. I am really glad I...

Did a rerolled guild ever come to life on Shadowlands? I picked this back up today after realizing that DA3 is only going to hold me a week or two and after that I will be ready for something else. With Revan coming, I figured it may as well as be this as I have a few 55s already here and...

My experience with 3D printing tech is limited; at a conference I presented at this past summer, the booth next to me had a few 3D printers set up. Other than totally screwing up my own unexciting booth - alright, I really wasn't even paying attention to my own shit because I was watching the...

Hah, Haven with a big chantry and looking like a war camp. I guess it did well after Andraste's ashes were discovered.

'Foodini' machine lets you print edible burgers, pizza - CNN.com Is this humanity's first step toward a Star Trek style food replicator? "Earl Grey, piping hot."

That's what I would go with - Rodgers has a good chance of lighting up the Bears, and Cobb will benefit from that. On the flip side, assuming the Bears are getting molested, Alshon Jeffery will benefit as they pass like mad to try to keep up. Cincy at Cleveland has a greater potential (in my...

I am in nearly the same situation Profundis, I went with Tre Mason. Though Charles Sims down there, that might be a tempting gamble, I think he is going to play this weekend. Of course, the situation is even more awful in Tampa than it is in St. Louis so...

Yeah, really. Alright, so maybe I am in the minority on that one, but I think the point still is valid, there isn't much in the way of MMOs to look forward to. The shinies have stopped.

Man, I've been thinking about this comment, and you are right. I can't think of a worthwhile one either. EQNext maybe in late 2015? WoD? The Vanguard emulator being posted about in the other thread? It is a strange feeling - I have been looking forward to one MMO or another for years now...

I shouldn't have clicked this thread, now I am all fricking fired up again and still two weeks to go. Bah.

Holy shit, I did not realize this was going to have ME3 style multiplayer. This will probably be worth it for that alone.

I don't know if I would call DA2 an abortion; more like an extremely premature birth. If they had taken some time to add a bit of encounter depth (and ditched the goddamn ninja gangsters) and to personalize the dungeons more - like you saw in the Legacy DLC - I think we would be talking about...

.5 PPR - Percy Harvin vs the Steelers (all of a sudden he is the entire Jets offense, 11 rec on 13 targets last week) or Vincent Jackson vs. Atlanta (6 rec on 12 targets last week)? I am leaning toward giving Percy a shot right now.

I hope you are wrong about this one, man, and going off emotion instead of leet beta infoz. I would be perfectly happy with something along the lines of Mass Effect 3, but with a real ending that tied shit together and set the world up for future stories. I'm in the camp that thinks Mass...

I am glad I played Big Ben again this week after leaving him benched for his big show last week. He'll never do anything close to that again, I thought, and especially not against Baltimore where the score is always 13-10 or 9-6, but he was my only option. Ben-naissance, baby.

I think he is relieved that HBO is finishing the series for him. Takes the pressure off, and he knows his fans will get the ending no matter what happens to him, and he is going to be super rich either way. The HBO series was his escape hatch; he can go on with stuffing his face at...

Somewhere in that AMA she says that 'high school really doesn't matter' when talking about grades. That's some great advice for people, right there! Though I guess if I was raking in mad cash from people who were watching my cleavage as I played video games, it wouldn't have mattered to me either.

I may have miscounted, but there was somewhere in the realm of $130 in donations in that 4.5 minutes of Kaceytron. Damn.

'Game of Thrones' cast signs on for season 7 | Inside TV | EW.com Reportedly a huge raise for the 7th season; I assume they can afford that raise since by then most of the characters will be dead. Heh.

That is a carryover from Civ5 - the AI there does the same thing if you dismantle enough of its units, it will sue for peace and hand you a city - sometimes extremely well developed cities - even if all you do is defend and never make a single move to attack. Just had a game today where the AI...

Well shit, sorry about that, I totally missed the Jaime in Dorne rumors that have been floating about. Haven't been playing close enough attention.

I saw today a picture of Jaime in a very Dornish, Oberyn-looking robe; could mean nothing, could mean all kinds of crazy stuff.

LOL at your opponent Opiate, trying to ride that Larry Donnell train still after it left the station and is gone forever. And good call on the Eagles D against the Giants, I expected that game to go much differently (as I am sure your opponent expected the Chargers-Oakland game to go...

I was never in Fires of Heaven, but when I was military, I had a commander who was, 2001-2 timeframe. As EQ was still relatively niche then, and being in a smaller RP guild the raid game was generally something I read about on fohguild and not actually participated in until much later in the...

I think that person will find that the hardcores were forged in a time when there were few choices - EQ or WoW. Sure, there were other games around in those times, but not many and those were the clearly superior choices. They were more than games too, there was a huge social aspect as well...

Into my third month of this, best sub money I've paid since Vanilla WoW. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that I wish I had more time to spend with it, heh.

Well 3 quarterback changes this week - Bridgewater in Minnesota, Glennon in Tampa, Blake Bortles in Jacksonville, and none of them with easy matchups. Should be a fun, interception filled weekend! Most likely to succeed? I would say Glennon, though they are all probably going to get...

Never forget -

Peter King in MMQB has a quote from Rodney Harrison about Pitta - 'at least he got paid'. Pitta will get like all of the 16 mil that was guaranteed in his contract; it certainly does suck that his career is in jeopardy, but at least he should have a decent chunk in his bank account on his way out.

I love that tiny bump at 34. You know that is all people who stopped WHM at 34 for stoneskin.

I think that FiveThirtyEight article explains why Goodell has been so aggressively pursuing European expansion and adding games to the regular season, with the slowdown in franchise value increase and whatnot. He thinks that the NFL can't squeeze any more money out of the US - despite it...
