    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    An immense dislike for Comcast but not Century Link? When I started looking at internet options in the Seattle area about a month ago I looked at Yelp to get some feedback on Century Link cause I had never heard of it before. Pretty much every review on there said, "Yeah, I don't like Comcast...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    It's a mistake to try to compare this to EQNL as they clearly are targeting different platforms. They must want this game to be compatible with all mobile devices which is the likely reason they are sticking with the lego look. This would run on any Android / iOS device, EQNL obviously will...

    It's pretty clear MOST of what they talk about is not implemented. The way they talk to each other in that stream, they nod at each other as if they weren't even aware certain ideas were in the plans, much less actually implemented. They're actually up there selling ideas. It's weird to me...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Check the stats. He shot the exact same % he's shooting right now for his entire 3rd season and still averaged 20 ppg. He was like a 3rd scoring option on that team though when they had Baron playing his best ball ever and Steven Jackson playing pretty well also (as you well know). To me the...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    I think the Warriors right now have about as good a mix of players as you could possibly have without having a bonafide superstar. Not really sure if that can get you all the way in today's league, and hey maybe Curry is on the cusp of being that guy, but they are gonna be a lot of fun to...

    In every one of these vids they show off new tools and create little scenarios unlike any you've seen in the previous videos. In this latest one they show off an aggro range setting you can adjust. I don't know when this tool will get up to the level of being able to generate an mmo, but it's...

    Debatable. There's a top 3, and Google is of course one of them, but Google is arguably the least powerful of those 3. Less cash, less revenue, less profits than the other two. Yes, you have to love what Google is trying to do with less and I'd love to see Apple and Microsoft use their money...

    This newest video has a nice summary at the beginning. Includes examples of some of the content that was created by players early on in the alpha it sounds like, but still cool stuff. They show a nice skeletal dragon model somebody made but only hinted at the plan for animations for something...

    From what I've seen so far there's going to be a huge amount of flexibility regarding combat mechanics. This isn't an RPG where the combat mechanics are in place and you just create the world. You'll be able to create almost any type of game you want and tune the mechanics to some extent I...

    All great questions I want to know the answer to myself, which is why I was disappointed not to find a thread dedicated to this. I don't know how much of an MMO you can create with it currently (guessing you couldn't make anything to that scale for a while), but I would think at some point they...

    How is there not a thread dedicated to this? I've seen it referenced in the EQ Next thread and it's probably been talked about in next gen consoles some, but this deserves a thread of its own. People have been theorycrafting over the ideal MMO on FoH for over a decade, and this might be the...

    Super lame call by the refs to move Seattle into FG range there. I don't what else a DB is supposed to do when a ballcarrier is fighting for extra yards like that. He made a tackle.

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    Surface Pro 2 is the device I've been waiting for since before Surface Pro 1 even released. The only reason I didn't get one was battery life and the fact that I knew Haswell was on the horizon. Surface Pro form factor, Haswell, convergence, jizz. This device isn't competing with Android 7"...

    Looks like somebody at the FCC messed up. LG clearly had internal / external photos marked for 180 day short-term confidentiality. Actually nix that - the certification body that uploaded the documents messed up because the FCC filing system is all automated. 2 LTE bands, 802.11ac up to 390...

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    I've agreed with pretty much every one of your takes in this thread but I had to chime in on this one. I've tried watching Firefly like 4-5 times because of all the people that claim it's the greatest thing ever, and I just cannot get into it either. I've tried doing Serenity a couple times...

    From Anaheim to Seattle - Travel Advice

    Eh? Yosemite Valley > Big Sur. October would be a pretty good time to go too cause the summer crowds will have died down. However, it is a bit of a detour to the east and maybe not something you'd want to go out of the way for unless you can stay there at least a couple days.

    Most likely. I mean cmon, EQ without levels? Leveling was THE best part about EQ. Finding the best spots to gain them, getting into one of those spots and running so smoothly you never want to log off, the people you meet while trying to find those spots, being terrified of traveling...

    I just finished Dan Brown'sInferno. I liked it a lot more thanThe Lost Symbol(which on completion seemed pretty pointless to me), and it was mayyybe about as satisfying asThe Davinci Code. It's been a while since I readDavinci; while that may have been a bit quicker read for me because while...

    My guess is that when Blizzard caught wind of what SOE was doing with EQNext, they decided they'd pull back Titan for the meantime since for now they can continue reaping the fruits of WoW. When the time is right they'll put out a much more polished version of World of EQNextCraft. Just as...

    Wait, what? Those games are fucking dead relics, you can't cannibalize them at this point. Put out a brand new game with similar mechanics, updated graphics, and world building and you obviously have a fuckton more players playing it than EQ1+2 combined.

    I've come to the conclusion it's fucking pointless to speculate about the actual EQN game at this point. There are some (very?) disappointing things to take away from the brief footage, but they seem so far away from release (gotta be a couple years off) who knows how it will end up...

    The world builder will be fun to tinker around with and may build some hype, but aside from that they clearly don't have much yet. Wake me up in a couple years when EQN is actually ready for release. Unless the game turns out to play exactly the way it LOOKS as of now... actiony, spammy...

    MLB 2013 season

    Yeah, there's no way. You can't make new rules for a guy just cause he's a roiding jerkoff who happens to be costing the most storied franchise in sports a lot of money. I don't see how they can ban him more than the typical 50-100 games.

    Nah, he had 3-4 pretty good seasons. You can call him a chucker now or whatever, but he did a few things really well back then that any team would welcome. The problem is, his best asset was his ability to get easy baskets in transition and his ability to drive off the dribble in the halfcourt...

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Yeah. I would have preferred to give up Klay over Barnes in a S&T for Howard before the Iguodala deal. But with that deal, they have to keep the 2nd shooter and there's no way the Lakers refuse Bogut + Barnes if it comes down to it.

    Warriors deal away 20 mill in contracts by giving Utah two future firsts, take nothing back. Use that space to sign Iguodala. They're trying to make themselves more attractive to Howard and legit S&T options are still available...

    Warriors in the mix for Dwight, I likey. Bogut + either Klay or Barnes in a S&T would be the deal to Lakers. I'd much prefer to give up Klay if it comes down to that. If Bogut's foot wasn't giving him an air of Yao Ming, I'd be fine running with him and the squad we basically had this past...

    It'd be funny if it weren't so smart. They had to blow it up because they didn't have anything to build around in the long term, and they didn't really have anything to draw a big name free agent. Free agents aren't going to go there just cause they're the Celtics, the Celtics need to have...

    Either of the last couple picks in that deal could turn out to be lottery because of how old that team is. Deron Williams has had his share of injury issues, who knows how effective he'll be in a couple years. Joe Johnson's contract really ties them up in terms of being able to sign FA's. Of...

    Yeah I'd put Adleman in Tier 2 because of his track record. Tier 1 is Popovich, all by himself. Adleman has overachieved with the talent he's had in a number of places, he's just never had that one player on any of his teams. Drexler and Webber were the closest things he had to a superstar...
