Anyone have a link to the most recent stream? Sounds like it was a little better than the one I watched from a few days before.

Yeah, for sure. It's a good idea to differentiate. MMOs definitely did get pretty task-oriented over time. Actual long, involved, story-driven quests are definitely fun. Most tasks suck. Some task stuff isn't terrible, it's all how it's done. For example, I hate the tasks that have you...

There's a difference between horrible or outdated graphics and poor gameplay/animation. EQ graphics are certainly outdated, but the gameplay and animations in EQ have always been smooth as butter. Super Mario Brothers on the NES Classic has outdated graphics, but the gameplay and animations...

Uh huh. Now we get to see how many ways they can twist the phrase “not tied to power.” Or maybe they’ll just disregard it entirely. Ahh the paradox of microtransactions. If the game’s primary source of revenue is microtransactions, the devs would be fools not have significant and meaningful...

This doesn’t change in S02. It won’t change in future seasons either. It’s a complex plot in a rich, detailed world setting. If you’re asking does the pace pick up a bit, the answer is yes.

This movie reminded me of Chinese food. Tasted pretty good while I was eating it, but when I got home and sat down I realized there wasn’t much substance to it.

Been doing some research- lots of decent deals out there right now. For those looking to get a good travel card, you might want to check this out...

What great rewards credit cards are people using these days? Travel, cash back, whatever. I've been putting this off for a long time but I'm ready to go ahead and jump on the all rewards bandwagon and want some input from FoH bros.

If you are running a challenging campaign, loners should die fast and often- especially inexperienced loners. Death often cures lazy play, especially when the player ends up spending half a gaming session waiting on the bench for you to fit their new character in.

Yeah that’s all on you. You've gotta be pretty strict about limiting meta interaction during initiative or in any situations where reaction time is a factor. In general role-playing situations, it’s pretty well understood that the back-and-forth between the players about strategy and other...

Posted this a year or so ago on another thread. Advice from 25 years of pnp GMing:

Early EQ was a lonely, cold, hard world. Maybe you could get by on your own, but it was much easier to band together for survival and prosperity. If you don't have a challenging world, you take away the need to for communities. When you take away the need for communities you lose player...

One on the way to my place- thanks for the heads up man!

I can't fathom paying more for early access to a game than I would pay to buy the game itself. And I can't see paying $1,000 for an untested, unfinished game made by an unstable amateur company with zero aaa releases under its belt. But that's just me.

1. You're living life for yourself. Try finding a reason to exist outside of yourself. Get a wife, kids, dog, gerbil - anything. Go die for a good cause. Give your life some meaning outside of simply existing. 2. Brush your teeth daily. This is not optional. 3. Get some exercise. Start...

Yeah, i mean i guess if Bisbing is your metric for mma excellence, then he did an amazing job.

You know, the whole fight i was ready to say "Ok, GSP is back." Never happened. He won, and he is still as savvy and as competent as a fighter as he always was (maybe more), but physically he looked old, slow, and not in condition. Hate saying it because i love the guy, but truth is truth.

Yeah he for sure looked bad compared to old GSP. He lacked explosiveness and stamina. He gassed early and won against a mediocre opponent in sloppy fashion. That said, I think that a lot of that was his 'weight experiment.' He would be way more comfortable fighting at the next weight class...

I don't know about that. Assuming they fought at 170: I would put the fight in GSPs favor, but it wouldn't be a given. Conor surprises every single opponent he fights with how good he is, and i don't think GSP would be any different. Moreover, GSP looked pretty bad in his win over Bisping...

The term gameplay is subjective for sure. To me, all those things you mentioned are just mechanics. Mechanics definitely contribute to gameplay, but, for me, gameplay is the totality of what it actually feels like to sit down for a few hours and play the game. Something like a comination of...

Tuco was fun to watch. They interviewed the actor that played him- he basically said Tuco was the polar opposite of his natural personality, so he was exhausting to play.

You don't need a ton of money to have great gameplay. I can think of numerous relatively cheap titles that had great gameplay, as did EQ like Dullahan mentioned. But I'm not sure you can tell if a game has great gameplay just by looking at it or reading about it. Gameplay is really a hands on...

It looks good. Looks functional. Animations still weak but they've indicated those will change. Looks very likely that it will at least launch. They key to all that stuff is the word "looks." Looks don't mean much. Ive played a lot of shitty games that look ok. Gameplay is king and it's...

He got his wind back at just the right time. He really started to gas in the 2nd and I was worried he was done. Guy has the heart of a champion though. What he has lost over the years in explosiveness and the ability to physically dominate, he has gained in patience, timing, and fighting IQ...

It's Indiana, not Illinois. And for the record, Indiana doesn't exactly have a sterling rep for being progressively open-minded about race relations. That said, i agree with you. The 70's changed a lot of stuff with race relations. By the 80's it still would have been a gossip-worthy...

Yeah lol, last season it was holes in the walls and strings of lights draped everywhere. This season she turned her house into a notebook paper map of tunnels. Love it. Definitely a theme.

S02 solid. Definitely worth watching. Lots of great new subtle nostalgia from Aliens to Children of the Corn. Once again they do a great job of delivering the nostalgia with just the right amount of touch, giving it to us with a nod and a wink rather than relying on it to support the story...

Uh, speaking of this, is there a good place to find streams? Something like the NFL reddit page? Apologize if it's been posted or is easy to find. I always prefer just getting info straight from a trusted board than doing my own random searching.

Yeah, sure. Except for the fact that you and the rest of us are still in this thread writing lines about him.

Listen, I just thought his quote was laying it on a bit thick, that's all. I think it was the whole thing about"wanting nothing more" that got me lol. I mean, come on, when has this board ever wanted nothing more out of Brad McQauid than to support him? If you want to make the point that Brad...

Lol please, tell that to someone new to the boards. Anyone that has been around since the old fohguild days knows that anything Brad does brings about a 50/50 split of people that want to worship him and people who want to crucify him. For every Convo defending him there's a Twobit Whore on...

Looking good. Always nice to see them making progress. Doesn't mean a ton in the big picture They managed to find the guy that designed Guk in EQ? That's impressive. What a great dungeon that was. Definitely the best vanilla dungeon. It's not really a dungeon, but I was always...

Rogean has stated multiple times he ultimately intends to run two blue servers. For example: open a new server, run it through the progressions, once it gets stale, merge it with the old server. Rinse, repeat. Basically always have a fresh progression server. I made that suggestion to him...

Starfinder is the sci-fi Pathfinder setting. Haven't played it, but if it's as well put together his Pathfinder, it's probably pretty good. Fading Suns is a pretty close match to Xcom. Even has psy stuff. As someone else suggested, Shadowrun could pretty easily be made to fit the Xcom setting.

I've never seen anything done by Ken Burns that isn't worth watching. Really looking forward to this. Never seen a better doc than his Civil War series. I rewatch it every few years.

Let's be honest, there was more wrong with VG than just performance issues

I concur with this review.

Anyone have a good streaming link?

Do I need to spoof my IP or something to use NFL2GO in the States? Does anyone have a link to a summary of how NFL2GO works and how to sign up? Thanks in advance
