    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Offspec at least another dmg spec while leveling; since you're gathering agi leather already do a feral spec off. It kills way faster, and if you get into trouble (by pulling too many, aggroing an elite/rare or something) you can still shift into bear form and be relatively tanky. (Though you...

    Kudos EA - Worst Company in America two years running

    Firstly, a lot of third party games on Origin also require additional things; Batman Arkham City went through Origin, but also required logging into my games for windows live account, which was a clusterfuck, and ended in my game being associated with my Origin account email instead of my xbox...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yea little tweaks like that are awesome. Doing the hunter/priest epics back in vanilla were epic; I still have both the Rhok'delar and Benediction, and not many people have them. They weren't hard, just required some out of the box thinking or some gimmicky stuff. What's a little...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is essentially what LFR already is. Example: First week of the last part of ToT and Iron Qon and Twin Consorts went down like bitches. We actually wiped once on Iron Qon because we weren't running with a full raid (Missing two healers) and couldn't out heal his stomp crap. Twin Consorts...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Will agree with everyone else; awesome, awesome episode. Probably loved the Varys scene most of all - Varys is fucking crazy awesome, but comes across as soft spoken, very subtle etc and then he is just very casually prying open this box...doo doo doo...let me just wash my hands...holy fuck the...

    Except the high end is constantly getting higher, and most games are made with console specs in mind anyways. So, high end gaming *now*? Great, fantastic. I'll just upgrade my shit. And they still won't get close to what that guy did with skyrim and that crazy rig of his. It wasn't...

    Probably the craziest thing I've heard regarding most of this was the quote: PS4 and Xbox are going to get close to computer graphics! Like wait, which graphics? What is this...I don't even...

    This. Also as someone said above I like the OSTs most times. I own all the Blizzard CE's (All of which come with art books, soundtracks, mouse pads (lol), as well as perks in game) and the Dragon Age/Mass Effect CEs. Beloved IPs also get the CE treatment. The only one I waffled on (and...

    Yea, this was what the Vita/PS3 did to an extent and something I'd love as well, but I don't think that's what that rumor means if it's true.

    a_skeleton_03, I get what you're saying but I don't think you see Sean's point. The 720 adds *nothing* whatsoever for a PC gamer. If we have a 720 for a reason, ok, cool. But if a selling point of the system is, hey guys, "Play PC games on multiple platforms!" PC gamers aren't going to give...

    I'm primarily a PC gamer; I do not give a fuck about running my games through any other platform. I own a 360, Wii, PS3 as well as all handhelds (except the Vita, because I am fucking DISGUSTED there is no way to get a digital form of the games I already paid for on the PSP) solely for the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    In the show I think they highlight it more how the unsullied will literally ONLY obey the person who owns them, and obeys them implicitly. In the book I think it was said by the trader who was trying to sell them and then communicated through the girl, but in the show she asks again if the...

    Whoever said about Jamie not getting his hand chopped off, they *had* to have it legitimately happen; that's the entire reason, or at least a large part, that Jamie rethinks who he is. Brienne and her whole quest for justice and crap is part of it, but Jamie's sword hand has always been who he...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Before the RW Robb was headed home to reclaim Winterfell. It would have consolidated the North's power; Tywin could not have afforded to leave a King unharmed. He also, would have gotten back the allegiance of the Freys and Boltons. Sorry, shit might change in the future because of Tywin's...

    You're not right, but at this stage I suppose taking what you say with a grain of salt is just part and parcel with the name Dumar. Blizzard has significantly more creative freedom than any other studio because of their clout; in fact the original merger brought no changes to management, no new...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Cersei was already in power before Tywin rolled in (though Tyrion did his best to rout her); he hadn't, as of yet, managed to replace the people on her high council. He was still trying to reconcile peace with Highgarden; the most he did during his "reign" was squelch the rebellion in the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's hard to say - I'm firmly on the Red Wedding being a bigger deal, especially to the reader. You lose two POV characters, and the last vestiges of Eddard Stark technically, since they were the ones going after vengeance. Things carried on like we've come to expect with Cersei after...

    I think it's Selmy that explains the madness took like, every other generation. The Mad King's grandfather (Jaerys or something?) was crazy as well but I think it was mitigated. There are *a lot* of stories about the targs though; many of them are venerated as being the best of the best -...

    Monsanto is the fucking devil and Bank of America is like the son they always wanted. The BF uses Bank of America, even knowing it's practices and just on a general level they're fucking idiots. We live and work in the San Fran area, and anytime a purchase is made for more than 50$ it shuts...

    I always ended up buying more indie games over the course of the year than I do the big blockbuster titles. This year has been great so far for releases, as well as Q4 of last year, but the fact that the PS3 had games like flower, flow, journey etc kept luring me away. The fact the xbox won't...

    Also, a lot of games will still let you load them even if you are offline. There are a few that won't, but the majority of them can be launched from their own icon without the steam client in the event of an outage. The way microsoft is doing things, that won't even be an *option*. Hell...

    It's not like we haven't had any examples of "always on" that haven't bombed or been totally fucked. In fact, the ones that we have had, are quite famous for being god awful. (Diablo 3 and SimCity.) So you say, we'll wait and see, could be cool, could suck ass. But this is like being fed...

    Well, the whole point is if it's "All about the games" for you. If so, the new xbox is looking less and less likely to really do it for you. They have exclusives sure; I really enjoyed those titles already mentioned and considered it necessary to have an xbox for them, but now? Always online...

    Honestly, I'm surprised he got fired. You can do some weird shit in the industry and it'll just get swept aside - I imagine that as you said it was due to the complete idiocy of his comments. They had to know that decision wouldn't be very popular, and when you have one of your menz sitting...

    So new rumors have it that the dude got fired, more for his comments than actually letting the cat out of the bag. Also, it's pretty legit. Another twitter posted that he couldn't confirm or deny, but definitely pay your ISP. Which is pretty much confirmation. Edit: Neogaf with the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yea, I mean, wanting her throne is selfish, but throughout she seems to be the only one worthy of it, so I guess I don't really think of it as selfish. She does unsavory things, that she hates just to procure the safety and well being of the people who follow her. That doesn't strike me as...

    ADWD Dany < other book Dany's imo. I started to be a little annoyed with her in the last one, but up till that point I really liked her. She is one of the only genuinely "good" people in the series. Her motivations are not selfish, though they might be influenced a bit by her own wants. The...

    I dislike Dany in the show but really liked her in the series. Like I said, without all the internal shit she just comes across (to me) as a spoiled child who was told once upon a time that she is amazing and a queen and OMG GIVE ME MY RIGHTS. In the book the way she thinks through things...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think there's anything wrong with whittling down the show; it doesn't detract from how great the show is, but let's be honest. ASoIaF is perhaps the greatest fantasy literary work since Tolkien. There's a tremendous amount of depth that can't come across in the show, and that's going...

    Little late to the party, but wanted to add my two cents. Only read a few posts but it reminded me what I disliked about the premiere so wanted to get it out before I forgot then go back and read. I was a bit disappointed by some of the scenes. GOT I always felt was about the story, not the...

    The issue with that fight is that the cues comes extremely fast and without really any explanation; the entire fight is basically trying to make sense of the language of the particle effects. Even when I was fairly sure I thought I knew what was going on and where I had to be, it was so...

    Well, I did some reps for profession recipes - priest needed enchanting and tailoring, paladin needed the belt buckle etc. The priest got the worst end of the deal, and that was the bag and enchanting recipes from shado-pan and august celestials.

    The warbringers/warscouts that spawn in the coastal areas of MOP drop insignias that give 1000 rep (2200 with the commendation). After killing a few trying for the mount my characters went from never having encountered a rep to exalted in a couple clicks. Not exactly an elegant solution, but...
