I was taking a broader view of games instead of trying to blame all the dissatisfaction on maps which is just one aspect of games. I didn't think this thread was a referendum on maps lol. I figured it was more about the play styles and social expectations in games. At least that's what I...

That's the thing gamers like Itenza don't understand. They can't wrap their mind around the concept that some players do not desire their style of game play. Yes that makes them "Lol noobs" in the competitive sense but so what. That should just make you feel better about "winning". Players...

You would be right that maps existed back then as did information sites. What you are failing to realize is it wasn't normal for players to be able to live stream 10 different webpages with all the information while simultaneously boxing 5 accounts. The majority of players were not able or...

Idk, Obama signed that bill into law that allows for the indefinite detention (without trial) of American's in the US the other day. Soon they will be rounding up all the republicans for re-education camps. /tinfoilhat

What are you basing this argument that 300 million guns is "too many" on?

Are you being intentionally misleading? edit You did post a link up there I suppose, I'm not sure why you two are arguing though. It sounds like you both are open to the same shit. No gun bans just better regulation.

That's the problem with the way people are looking at this though. No system will ever be perfectly fool proof and safe. Nothing we do will eliminate the mass killing of people. Crazy nutjobs will find a way. Locking up a gun will prevent some strung out depressed loser from getting a hold of...

I think I read a quote from the mayor of new york earlier, it kind of echoes what I was saying a few days ago. Cops with guns in schools are ok, but it shouldn't be mandatory. If the citizens of a state / county want the extra tax burden of a security force of questionable effectiveness, that...

I think he's saying an assault rifle ban won't solve the problem in this case. Gun ownership and the types of guns people own are not the issue. The problem is the people who own the guns, they are irresponsible and don't lock their shit up. Then the guns get stolen by crazy people. Crazy...

Damn, those NES cartridges are tough. This video here puts them through some abuse.

If we didn't have elementary schools, we wouldn't have elementary school shootings. Just sayin'

Yes, but the manner in which people actually play games has changed. Back in classic eq you had a shitty 56K internet connection that wasn't helpful to live streaming 10 different webpages for every possible whim that came to mind while you were simultaneously running around stabbing goblins...

If you want more modding opportunities for custom player generated content you normally need a non subscription based game. I like the idea of being able to replay a custom scenario of a game after the main story has been finished. Some custom scenarios even end up better than the original...

It's hard to find a perfect balance in a game. If you are looking for quality gaming these days you might do well to rediscover a passion for single player games. I wonder if there any modern MUD's now that I think about it. Games designed for a small group of people to go out and adventure on a...

If look closely, you can almost see the end coming. Just a little longer!

Looks like there has been another revision over there fixing various things. One example being the lifts now function properly. If you played on some emu's and you have to hit the switch three or four times to make it go, it won't be like that on eqclassic ;p...

We have been over this before, but of course after a week of media distortions we are back at the start of the discussion. It wasn't the gun's that caused the problem. It was the people who owned the guns that caused this mess. Banning guns indiscriminately isn't the answer and won't stop the...

When the government has been passing laws like the Patriot act and laws like this http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012...ors_picks=true I'd much rather have a few guns lying around in case the government goes full blown evil empire.

I haven't read the latest book and I don't think it really matters much, I can always read the series again 10 years down the road when I've forgotten all but the major plot points. The interesting stuff isn't knowing how a story ends but rather in how it arrives at that point. It will...

Going on 4 days non-stop news coverage of this. I guess the entire world has stood still and nothing else interesting is happening >_>

So his big thing is that computers might become intelligent one day? I don't see how that's super controversial unless he demands we bow down to our computer skynet overlords.

I didn't notice a science thread so here goes. Post about science related topics here!! I was reading about the Tesla Museum indiegogo campaign and it seems I just missed the boat. http://www.indiegogo.com/teslamuseum There was a indiegogo campaign to build a Tesla Museum at...

There doesn't seem to be much gun control discussion going on between the president and politicians from what I've seen. The news mostly consists of people mourning the dead and a few commentators calling for a "discussion". They got this chance to actually talk about gun control but instead...

It's kind of ridiculous how much airtime this is getting. Maybe there should be more focus on violent attacks in education so people aren't so shocked when things like this happen. This isn't about gun's at this point. This seems to be more about people's illusion of safety being shattered...

Kim Jong Un wins the Times person of the year poll thanks to 4chan http://www.seattlepi.com/news/articl...ed-4115836.php awww yeaaa

I haven't watched a new scifi show in over a year so I just started watching Star Trek TNG season 1 last week. Man, I forgot how bad the first season was. Well not the entire season, but i'd say about half the episodes I've watched so far are just face palm worthy. Here's hoping season two...

All the people whose world view comes entirely from television are freaking out right now. I honestly can't believe they are pushing the "if schools were more religious there wouldn't be violence" bit. I was also surprised how hard it is to find basic facts on this case when it seems the...

It's not gun ownership that's the problem, it's the people who own the guns. Everybody is blaming the gun for this when it was the person who owned the gun who is to blame. The owner of the gun in this shooting and the mall shooting didn't secure their shit. Somebody else ended up taking it...

Except that's been proven wrong by other countries that also allow gun ownership and have less gun related deaths. It really comes down to American's being irresponsible. I know that's a shock to everybody and probably the first time you've heard that >_> Gun ownership is ok...

I'd also like to point out that the shooter didn't own any of the guns used in the shooting. I'm starting to see a recurring trend in these shooting threads.

That's the logical fallacy of what you propose though. That anything short of a TSA style system at schools would be able to delay or stop a determined crazy person with any sort of consistency or regularity. I'm ok with optional security / police that some campuses opt for. Unless there is a...

Nice logical fallacy, moving the burden of proof onto me. I'm not the one who wants to change the way school campuses are run. Schools can still hire security or put police officers into them if they want. I don't think it should be mandatory though. I also pointed out some reasons why...

I imagine one police officer stationed on a school campus wouldn't do much good in a situation like this or any shooting for that matter. If anything it would cause more headaches for schools as kids proceed to fuck with bored cops. Most cops have a "better than you" attitude also so I can't...

The plot for this sounded so unrealistic that I can't imagine its story being explained without resorting to whimsical or far fetched explanations.

No ban on guns. Better regulation I can get behind. The mall shooting the other day happened because an irresponsible gun owner didn't lock up their shit. I wonder how the school shooter got his guns? I'd also be for some sort of yearly mental evaluation when it comes to gun ownership...

What in the world happened to this thread. Maybe just move the discussion of guns to the Gun Control thread and rickshaw this one.

Idk, I remembered playing on some EQEmu servers and when I was in Qeynos Hills right outside Blackburrow I remember there was a guard that would patrol around and drop a card for a quest. I think the quest was in Qeynos but anyways, I never saw that card ever drop on any of the EQEmu servers...
