    I like all the changes except the PI change. "Modify pass interference so that it can be called within one yard of the line of scrimmage." Going to be hell on Defenses which are already neutered. It will be difficult to jam receivers in the first 5 yards when the QB simply throws the ball...

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

    HMD stuff really gets me excited. The tech is going to advance rapidly over the next few years with all the players, big and small, bringing products to market and competing. We are watching the next big thing in gaming develop right before our eyes.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    One step further, earth's circumstances are likely incredibly rare. Right place in the galaxy, right place in the solar system, right sized planet with a super sized core and relatively huge, close stable moon (all from an impact with a very specific set of circumstances) are some key...

    Really that is what is needed. Bounties on notorious players from the other factions would spice things up. If "Ikilljoo" steals all your shit you should be able to put a bounty on his ass. Lots of cool possibilities there. I really don't have a problem with people getting something off...

    There are NAS devices that run Plex media server but you need to watch which one you buy. They all don't use the same chipsets. Yes if you have plex server running your Roku will be able to watch just about anything you throw at it via the plex app.

    I doubt we get any answers for that until after the NDA drops and they go into NDA free closed beta. Now isn't the time marketing wise because there is nothing to gain from doing so.

    How I would do it is this. If you didn't have x number of delphi awarded in Y period of time the daily opens. If you do the daily then you don't get anything from your first Z trade runs with z being the number of coins you got from the daily. Allows casuals to do some shitty quest to get...

    Skyrim : The Elder Scrolls V Statistics | Statistic Brain Skyrim sold around 490k on PC in the first 48 hours. Skyrim doesn't have a monthly fee and also didn't launch to mixed reviews. I'm sure there are a few of us Elder Scrolls fans that normally pick up every game that is passing on...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Slow but still a good show. Seems to me though they have a bit too many shots of NDT. Shots of him walking in abundance in the second episode and other non science shots of the extinction halls were shown way too much. Lots of things like that in the show, including the stupid space ship...

    I don't really have a problem with the 60/40 although I think it should be more like 75/25 on the split if anything. Sure its a little welfare to the guy that got ganked but still provides incentive to the ganker. My main issue with 1.0 is the moving the process of obtaining delphi coins to...

    The Russian F2P system isn't bad at all. Its F2P so anyone can sign up, download the game and play. The limitation on the F2P comes in how your labor points (crafting / gathering) accrue. F2p players have 1/5th the point cap and accrue points 1/5th slower. 1 per 5 minutes as opposed to 5...

    There are a fair bit of named mobs around many of the camps. Sometimes they are quest mobs which should be apparent but about 50% of the camps have some rare named that pops occasionally and drops rare loot. Found a few of them later at night / early morning RU time and got a few rare drops...

    Please they are forcing their bull shit decisions and that is what is pissing people off. They essentially think you're so stupid that if they don't force your mage to go 2h you won't do it. So they removed the option which is par for the course for this game. In addition, they copied the...

    If they go with the current Russian patch and do their own thing from there its going to be as I said before, very solid game. If they decide to go with the patch pattern in Korea then things do change a bit. I never played Korea but I do know some of the changes there were terrible...

    These games are all about having fun so it shouldn't be surprising. I can give you a laundry list of things I dislike about TESO and Wildstar and why they are different in Archeage or not as impacting but that would likely derail this thread a good bit. Suffice to say how the world is...

    The way the Russian servers do labor points (no clue if its the same on Korea I'd guess it is) certainly lends advantages to subscribers. I don't really have an issue with it just that the difference is huge and if you do any sort of crafting, harvesting etc you'll want those points. 5x the...

    Not that I have a clue how these guys think but I wouldn't go to a shit team just to sit in purgatory for my entire career. Regardless of money.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I don't like the game at all but its very good timing. TESO will likely be hemorrhaging subs after the first month so anyone looking to game hop might take a look at it then.

    I just got around to watching it. I've always liked NDT and he has a certain TV appeal to him that is easy to enjoy. I really enjoyed the show. The ship is a little cheesy but serves its purpose and the slow intro played really well into the best part of the show. The cosmic calendar was...

    So got a little bit of time in today. Setup is simple. Applying the patch is also simple you just need to edit the .bat file with your folder location so that the UI and tool tips are in English. I forgot how nice it was to play a game with a good UI. Everything is pretty painless to...
