    E3 2014

    Microsoft was way too effective at snatching up all the third parties for their press conference; didn't leave a lot left over for Sony.

    Impressive progress from their first video, especially considering the whole "flooded studio" thing.

    What did you just read?

    I was given the Sword of Truth series recently, and just finished book 2. For the first 70% of book 1, I honestly couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about with this series (really, for a lot of book 1, if you set aside some of the more unpleasant imagery, the language used makes it read...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they announce a date for open beta a SOE Live, so...let's say August at the absolute earliest. Far as we know, no wipe from open beta to release (the two are basically the same thing, anyways), just a wipe from closed beta to open beta.

    So Platinum is doing Bayonetta for WiiU and now Scalebound for Xbone; when do you think they'll reveal the PS4 exclusive?

    E3 2014

    Are racing games really so popular that they deserve to so consistently get first-third billing in these press conferences? Seems like every E3 press conference in history has had a racing title as one of the first three games covered, and I have admit that I really don't get it.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Here's their current style guide for dark elf architecture.Link The basic idea behind this whole thing is that they release the style guide to us, give us a month to riff off of it (or just build whatever we feel is "dark elfy" in style) and then they'll use that to revise and finalize the...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Just got back from seeing it, and it was a damn good movie overall. Quicksilver, while only in a relatively small portion of the movie, seriously stole the show. And to top it all off, What more could one want out of an X-Men movie?

    The latest ebook:https://www.everquestnext.com/downlo...age-part-2.pdf No real new lore info in it, but the latest dev diary said that this one wraps up the Dragon War ebooks, so starting next month we should start getting a new time period, which'll be nice.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    So, looks like they're getting ready to start doing the whole "help us build EQN" thing. This week's roundtable poll is about which architectural style we want to start with (dwarf or dark elf), and next week they'll use the results of that poll and start giving out concept art and have us start...

    Godzilla (2014)

    So, was I the only one amused to note that, even though this was an American movie, they still managed to work Japanese_child_with_a_baseball_cap into the movie? If only he could've spent the movie palling around with Godzilla's baby, or talked about how one of the monsters was Friend to...

    Well, they've mentioned Bertoxx in one or two places, he's just not a god that most members of the Combine make a habit of worshipping. If he's in, I see no compelling reason why Inny and Cazic wouldn't show up as well.

    Godzilla (2014)

    Having grown up watching all the old Toho movies, I really enjoyed this. The human element was mediocre (but not as outright corny as the Japanese films) (and really who gives a shit about the human element in a Godzilla movie?), and the monster scenes felt all too brief, but every moment the...

    E3 2014

    Omeed's already refuted EQN being playable at E3 over at reddit, so don't get too excited on that count. However, he phrased it in a way that suggested there might besomethingE3, so we might get a little info there.

    Why was the Civil War fought?

    The Republican party arose out of a growing abolishionist sentiment in the north, although they generally took a long view of taking care of slavery (prevent its spread to new states, then gradually free slaves while financially compensating their owners, shit like that, rather than just up and...

    Amazing Spider-Man 2

    I'd say that it was better than a lot of the reviews gave it credit for. Not spectacular, but good. However, it suffered the same problem that Spider-Man 3 suffered (well,oneof the problems Spider-Man 3 suffered): it had more villains than it had screen time to flesh out. Rhino's basically just...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Not for this first phase. This first pass at water isn't going to be voxel-based; it's functionally going to be one big prop, so no mining through it, or otherwise altering its shape.

    It's also worth mentioning that static water is going in before swimming, so water will act as a solid surface you walk across (sounds like swimming will coincide with the addition of non-dynamic water voxels). So you'll probably want to move, if your claim is currently on a lake/seabed.

    Character models, at the very least, were changed with the reboots (take a look at the old human screenshot, or compare the old dark elf concept to the art and early model they've shown for the current version of EQN). If I'm recalling correctly, the reason was at least partially because they...

    World of Darkness

    I would imagine Onyx Path only has the license for books and tabletop gaming paraphernalia, while CCP retained the rights for electronic games, so I don't think they would have any issue giving that out to someone else. Bloodlines was the biggest name to come out of WoD videogames, but not...

    World of Darkness

    Pity. Well, if they aren't going to do anything with it, hopefully they'll have the sense to license the IP out to someone else and let them make some games. I certainly wouldn't turn up my nose at someone doing some single-player WoD games in a similar vein to VtM: Bloodlines.

    There's a roundtable poll up on the official website about that right now, so we should have a more concrete idea of how it'll work when they do the response video in a few weeks. That said, I recall them talking about their tentative plans in interviews and the like back around last SOE...

    Batman: Arkham Origins

    An on-screen death, and a dev saying on video (and I believe this is an accurate quote), "the Joker's dead. Dead, dead, deaddeaddeaddeaddeadeadeadead. He's not coming back." I'm guessing they're not going to try to sneak him in.

    Finally popped on for the first time today (name's Randin in game, as well). Haven't claimed yet, just ran around, doing some gathering and crafting. Getting piss-poor fps, however, with it looking like the CPU's the bottleneck. Anyone stumbled upon any good solutions for that? I will say...
