You really don't understand what I am trying to illustrate. So I will get slightly more specific. Take the traditional keep siege. The way I see it, is the Keep should directly confer some benefit to the players that makes them want to hold it. Without this benefit, continued activity in the...

I agree that pvp needs to be important, to the point where players are incapable of accomplishing any worthwhile goal without participating in it. In an open world pvp setting that is pretty crucial. Now why would you send a small force and not a zerg for these alternative objectives? Because...

Easy. First you design objectives that can be completed with small groups and ones that can only be handled by larger ones. A small group objective might be something like, sabotaging a stockpile to reduce the enemy faction's war resources. A large group objective would be to defend a keep from...

Yeah and this story evolved into a bloated, boring, visual effects extravaganza filled with washed out characters and logical inconsistencies. Like I said, I went in with low expectations knowing that it was going to be loaded with all kinds of filler material to hit that 2.5 hour mark, and yet...

That action sequence was to satiate the desire to see the dragon do something before the end of the movie. I just watched The Desolation recently and I have to say that even though I went into the movie with low expectations I was still disappointed. The amount of pointless filler in these...

This is not the best Christmas movie... but this trippy as balls movie is seriously burned into my subconscious. Of all the things to be subjected to as a child... it had to be this. Anyways so yeah,Santa Claus the Movie, I don't know why this got played so many times when I was growing up...

For a revolution to occur in the U.S. the economy has to completely implode. If the U.S. economy goes down in flames, (run away inflation, what have you) the rest of the world can't be doing too hot either. Anyways, lack of funding means all of these nifty control structures we have in place...

Silent Storm Gold is a good time. I bought that a while back off of GoG.

Fuck you for making me count to 6; Use normal numerals (normerals?) next time. Anyways, I do agree with you... but I will publicly deny it out of spite, for making me have to squint for like a second.

I picked up X-Com: Enemy Unknown and the two DLC's for $16. I know I am weird for not having bought such an awesome game yet... but for weirdos like me, deals like that are pretty great.

After reading this thread I decided to grab kings bounty. I went to check steam last night before the sale ended. They had 75% off of the 1C Strategy Collection. So for $12.49 I got: Fantasy Wars King's Bounty: Armored Princess King's Bounty: Crossworlds King's Bounty: The Legend And then...

Better Red than Dead... I started playing this about a week and a half ago. I too started as Necro. But I jumped ship pretty quick. They were heavily discounting the Inferno Starter deck when I started (was only like 32,000 gold) So I bought that. I should have doubled up and just bought two...

Kentucky is a relativistic state, in regards to it's regional and cultural identity. It's position on this spectrum is determined by the location of the observer. The further north the observer, the more southern Kentucky appears. The deeper south the observer goes, the more northern Kentucky...

I don't think you would ever want to see the Warhammer movie that comes out after the care bears in marketing got a hold of it. They would gut it, not because of the violence; heck no, they could show a full hour of baby corpses raining down onto a field of wood chippers and probably get a pg-13...

If you have ever summoned aMonsturdinto someone else's home... Then, like me, you knowHow to Lose Friends & Alienate People.

Another huge advantage to the shotgun is being able to use intervening cover. The zombies are limited to melee attacks... any range allows you to be on the other side of a fence or barrier and still attack. That trumps the ax completely. Also with a two handed ax, the trick is to follow...

Look no further thanthislist right here. Pretty much covers every kind of bizarro bongo fetish freak you could imagine. My personal favorites? "Barbie Horse Adventures" and "GOLF Magazine Presents 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples"

I think that's for the best. If humans are indicative of what it takes to become a sentient living species that is exploring the heavens, then I don't want to ever meet anything else that has managed to reach for the stars. They will likely be expansionists with bad attitudes and advanced...

I have a time capsule down in the basement. It's a plastic tote filled with like 200 dvds in their cases along with a dvd player. Maybe after I die, someone will unearth all of the rare treasures sealed within... or maybe people will be more interested in watching live bloodsports by that point...

Force providers to bid for the ability to provide care... which really sounds horrible in terms of quality of care. But that would certainly lower cost. If you start with sound standards of care that must be met, and then allow providers to bid on meeting those standards, that would help...

Employers used to be able to pay whatever pathetic, un-liveable wages they wanted as they watched their workers die of starvation and become indebted the longer they worked. Collective bargaining came about to offer a counter balance to what had been a completely one sided situation. There was...

I think if one was clever about it, most scenes and resources for one path could be used or tweaked for the other. Also, the whole game doesn't need to be one long string of cut scenes. Only take the camera away from the player when it's important. On a side note why did they implement the...

I have only played ME2, when it came out. Which puts me in a lonely boat I am sure. Anyways, given the choices at the end of ME2 I had figured ME3 was going to offer a split path. One that worked with the illusive man and one that didn't. Both paths would involve a final showdown with the...

You know what I really hate... Ticks The small parasitic arachnids that sit in the woods waiting for some hapless flesh bag to wander by and offer them a free ride. The only thing I really hate about them is the fucked up diseases they carry. If it wasn't for ticks, then doing my job...

PS4 NA Sales by March 31st 2014: 1,750,001 units Xbox NA Sales by March 31st 2014: 1,015,002 units PS4 NA Sales by March 31st 2015: 4,685,003 units Xbox NA Sales by March 31st 2015: 3,480,004 units I am coming in really conservative because I expect this next holiday season is going to...

Looking outside of the US kinda squashes that theory. If a person was fat as a child, it's most likely because of an excess of calories when they were young as well. Being fat is almost entirely a symptom of food production and availability. If food becomes scarce... so do fat people. It's...

The best part of growing up, is acting like a total fucking nut. I thoroughly plan on pushing the envelope of my eccentric behaviors by that point in my life. To the point where I am not even sure what is real anymore. As long as there is an FPS and soft taco night, I will be there; And I...

Pellet stoves are pretty simple to operate (provided everything is working properly). The stove will have a hopper that feeds it, all you have to do is make sure the hopper stays full. Then you set your thermostat just like a normal furnace. I know lots of people that love their pellet stoves...

Seriously, wtf did I ever do to you? I am glad to hear you are OK Thorne, but fuck this guy. See this is what sucks about being an internal organ. When you are doing your job, no one even gives you the time of day. You know how many times I have heard, "Thanks for helping me derive nutrition...

I was first diagnosed with ADHD in my sophmore year of high school. The diagnosis came from a Psychiatrist I had been asked to see as a result of my poor performance in school. My highschool transcript is abysmal. In a class of 255 kids, I was ranked 253rd. I think one of the kids ranked lower...

Comedy Horror does sound more appropriate for an official genre, but I always preferred the term Traumady, or Traumadies. If people are dying and I am laughing, then it's a traumady. Of course that definition puts a lot of traditional horror movies into this category for me, because I am sick in...

10 minutes. To drive into the office. After that we head out in the company vehicle to go wherever, but by that point I am on the clock so I don't care. I spend a good share of my time driving to job sites, but it doesn't really bother me at all because it's just part of the day. Then after...

The problem with coming up with solutions for a problem like this is that we don't have the framework of an actual game to talk about real solutions, so we are left with generalizing and making assumptions about some "every game". I have been kicking around an idea for a game that I think...

Saying that "Education is a multi-faceted problem" is an understatement to say the least. You essentially have the perfect world problems and real world factors. The perfect world problems exist regardless of what system you adopt or where you try to implement it. This generally revolves around...

Don't believe eXarc's hate mongering.Cat's and pelicans can live together in peace. Don't be blinded by the media. Think for yourself. Question everything. Western Medicine doesn't have all the answers. People weren't meant to live in boxes. Bush lied, people died. ??e????

I am going as a ninja. Not very original I know, but the group I am going to party with has been calling me the ginjah-ninja lately. I have red hair, and at some point this summer we were hanging around a bonfire and I started attacking people... in slow motion... and then pantomiming the...

Stanley Spadowski was just a regular abnormal janitor when he stumbled into hosting his own kids show on a local access TV station currently owned by the then unknown talent of George Newman, later to be known as Weird Al Yankovich. The show was a major success, but after years of non stop...

Like you said... Early on bringing people together and letting them see each other within a virtual space was enough to amaze anyone who hadn't experienced that. Now, connecting with people online is about as routine as it gets. Just bringing people together is no longer enough, now those...

The more freedom a player is given, in terms of character creation, the less detail can be included in the backstory. Unless a backstory generating tool is provided, which in it's most basic form is a blank sheet for the player to write down their thoughts about their character's origin. When...

For me personally, I tend to stick to whole foods. (pre-processed food, not the store) Or if I do buy something that has been prepared ahead of time, I simply read the ingredients, the simpler the better. The issue I have with just about all processed foods is the need to use artificial...
