    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    I get the feeling some are going to downvote because it's not more a 'true' sequel to AC than anything else. Joystiq review mentions it feels more of a Civ 5 expansion then anything else.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Another one who brings up Dark Souls. How many times does it have to be stated, stop comparing game mechanics of a single player game to an MMORPG. The difference between playing a game like Dark Souls and playing an MMORPG like Dark Souls is you are in control of the single player game. You...

    It's too bad it only focuses on the 'gold' part of the hacking. Would be nice if it went after the land hacks too which would of freed up the land. It also doesn't seem like it affects things that were bought with this gold (like apex and workers comp).

    Blizzcon 2014 - Who's going?

    People going to this seem to think they are going to at least tease the next WoW expac which actually wouldn't surprise me that much. They'll probably show the new Hearthstone expansion but what else is there?

    I saw two of these annoucements happen the other day within a span of a few minutes. I didn't think anything of it at the time besides never seeing an annoucement like that while I've been online, let alone from the same player. I saw a server wide annoucement last night talking about them...

    Did you chase them down because you had a greater number of people? I get what you're saying but you are also speaking from the perspective of a player who's in one of the top guilds on the most populated server. Also most of the stuff that's getting posted as far about PvP sounds more like...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'll probably resub at the end of the week, the question is do I continue with my main (prot pally) or make a new character. It's been a long time since I tanked in this game.

    This has everything to do with what server you play on then, because on my server this shit just doesn't happen with any sort of frequency to give a damn. It is a rare fucking site to see any sort of coordinated trade run that does not take advantage of peacetimes. Even out on the sea, you...

    Never got the paddle (or saw anyone get it) but I do remember teachers using pencils (erasers down) on our heads to check for lice every so often. I remember the bomb drills too. It's amazing they do the same kind of things now but for very different circumstances.

    My kids say it and I did in elementary school but for some reason can't remember doing it in middle/high school. It's actually a law on the state level where students are required to recite the pledge. I'm kind of indifferent on the whole thing since I did it myself as a child. My daughter...

    Pretty much this. When you start to question why you are logging in anymore, then the fun is gone. This game is designed for large scale warfare but it's not like you have huge sea battles going on every night.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This may have been answered before but for someone who hasn't played since the beginning of Mists but plans on getting WoD, is it worth resubbing now (main is 90) or just wait until the expansion drops?

    Nothing wrong with PvP, it's just the PvP in this game isn't very good. First most don't seem all that interested in participating in it and even when it's there, it's not really all that rewarding.

    You just said the key word there. Dedicated. The fact of the matter is your average player is not. Hell, your average guild is not. At some point smaller and even larger guilds who have no coordination/dedication are just going to up and quit because it's only so much fun banging your head...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    It's no big deal to him because what else is there for him? I'm sure his reputation in the industry isn't so stellar and if he was to join some other development house what's he going to be, just another dev in a company who you'll only recognize if you see his name in the end credits? I sure...

    The bad part is when the dropoff occurs (it probably already is in some places), this isn't one of those games where you may revisit 6 months down the line to see how things have changed unless a large group of your friends/guild is going to get back into the game. It'll be interesting to see...

    That's what I thought. It would be nice if you could though, that would be tangible assets and real penalties to losing in PvP, especially large guild warfare.

    American Horror Story - Freak Show

    Decent 2nd episode although Paulson singing Fiona Apple and the mosh pit in what supposed to be the 1950's was ridiculous. Pretty boy is about as crazy as the clown (it was funny when he gets popped by the bowling pin though).

    I agree, the drama that's been going on here the last few pages surpasses anything I've seen in game or on the official forums. It's too bad that because of the mechanics of the game, we probably won't get Eve levels of drama.

    The Walking Dead

    I agree but I think that's as far as it'll go when it comes to kids. That's why when they show any scene that involves Judith (like the guy threatening Tyreese in this last episode) I'm thinking nothing is going to happen because I can't see them killing off a baby. As far as the girls, that's...

    As far as the PvP in general, this has been my concern for awhile and it's across all servers. A large (dare I say majority) of players in this game are firmly content with farming, running trade packs during peacetime, and the small scale pvp/ganking mostly of lowbies if the oppotunity...

    Only dumb people travel solo through a PvP zone carrying a trade pack. It's why the roads are flooded when peacetime happens. I don't mind the peacetime periods but it does carebear the game up a bit, I hardly ever see anyone running a tradepack in a warzone unless they have escort. I did...

    I think what this whole thing has taught me is I don't think people want EQ1 remade. Yes, they want a game that has all the same things that EQ had but I don't think most of that group (which is pretty small to begin with) want EQ with prettier graphics. I also think that despite what anyone...

    Wife actually brought that up last night. They all know that walking around with zombie guts hides you from them so why don't they do that all the time or at least when they are out in the open? Also caught a little bit of Talking Dead last night and they said the first guy to die at the...

    It's been going on long enough now (and not just with the housing hacks but gold sellers in general) that the economy is fucked on most servers. That's pretty bad for a game that is highly dependent on the in-game economy.

    There's longevity but the game is highly dependent on others playing (namely your guild). If your in a smaller guild and people stop playing, you'll burn out quick unless you join another larger guild . One thing that's distressing is way too many players are playing this game...

    Questing in general is usually boring but its mind numbing in this game because there is no variety to any of it. Its the same kill x of this mob or collect x of this item.

    After week 1 of the KS, the writing was on the wall to many people with common sense that there really wasn't anything of substance. It became even more apparent when the 'team' started doing interviews that they were making shit up as they go. For me I was always skeptical at first because...
