    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    The guy who wrote that sounds like a massive blowhard. I mean he's bragging about raiding during a time when the servers were veritable ghost towns.

    Breaking Bad

    Saul Goodman's good for a few minutes of comic relief, but I can't imagine an entire series being good.

    Texas has looked pathetic the last two weeks. On the bright side, this might mean the end of Ron Washington.

    Dexter

    Hannah going to the hospital was one of the dumbest plot devices I've ever seen. It really feels like the writers were ordered to wrap the series up in the middle of a normal season.

    Zimmerman stands his ground against wild moose.

    People are really defending this dude?

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    People used to get sincerely angry at twinks in EQ. I remember a crowd harassing this dude who was sitting outside Crushbone decked out in a bloodstained tunic and SSB. The one thing about EQ that I don't really remember is how gear was adjusted to a player's level. One of my alts still had a...

    Aradune Returns to EQ aka the EQ Nostalgia thread

    I didn't realize EQ had music until about a month into the game. A guy I frequently played with kept mentioning the music and I thought he was just messing with me. I checked the game's options and lo and behold the music was off by default. It certainly changed the experience.

    Now You See Me

    I remember seeing this trailer at the theatre and thinking it looked like an intelligent movie. Well, I just watched it and have to say it's one of the dumbest films I've ever watched. About halfway through the movie, I had a feeling Mark Ruffalo was the mastermind and was really hoping my...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Combat in Dragon Age 2 was disorganized and most of the skills were unnecessary. It's a shame they had to overhaul the system due to DA:O console combat

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    There was absolutely nothing good about Dragon Age 2. Mass Effect 3 had a pretty solid story, but they tried to lengthen the game with a bunch of lame fetch quests that detracted from the whole experience.

    I think Walt is going to put a hit out on Hank.

    SWTOR

    I'd say the game is worth the retail purchase but that's about it. There's virtually no endgame content and no replay value. The developers were banking on the creation of alts to keep people playing but each class story follows the same fucking areas.

    Have they said anything about oldschool dungeons like guk and unrest?

    Breaking Bad

    The only blemish on this season so far is the fact that they didn't show Hank telling Gomez about Walt. That was a decision he struggled with and all of a sudden Gomez is sitting in his house completely unfazed. You can tell that they're rushing to wrap things up.

    MLB 2013 season

    Instead of complaining about Darvish, you should be pissed that they scored 6 runs against that Twins staff. They seem to play down to the crappy teams outside the division this year. They've lost two series each to the fucking Twins, White Sox, Blue Jays, Orioles, and Brewers, and Indians.

    Breaking Bad

    The characters sort of break the fourth wall (earlier this season I think) and talk about how they couldn't believe only a year had passed.

    I think it's fair to get worked up over the shitty warhammer knockoff art and the pointless presentations. Why are they so excited about this parkour shit?

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

    The Big Bang Theory is so lame that they didn't even give Penny a last name. The show became even more intolerable when they made the autistic dude the focus.

    Friends is still hilarious. Shows like that and Roseanne are great because the characters are relatable.

    The new art looks like it fits the old wow clone design they were using before they scrapped everything. The original concept art was awesome and a little more mature. Who the hell are they trying to target?

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    Wasn't it against GM policy to award people loot that wasn't lost due to a bug? Some dude dropped a Lodizal shell shield when trying to show it to me in the trade window and I picked it up because I really coveted that thing. The GM he complained to didn't seem to care but I felt bad and...

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    Did anyone ever get screwed out of rare loot? I got kicked out of a lower guk group for jokingly saying female dwarves were ugly and a few seconds later the FBSS dropped. That was the only time I saw it drop and I nearly broke my computer out of rage.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    Yeah, because exploring a lifeless world and participating in the occasional mundane group content is soooooooooooo awesome. Games like EQ embody the "mmo spirit" more than modern games ever will because they completely miss the point of the genre. Taking out a fort of storm troopers would be...

    EQ Never

    Do people not understand that contested content and "timesinks" are what create longevity? I don't exactly have the free time to play MMOs for 12 hours a day, but I certainly don't want to play a game in which everything is readily accessible -- a game where I can log on for 20 minutes and...

    MLB 2013 season

    I just think it's odd that pitchers like Kuroda and Darvish aren't even in the conversation. Every analyst has been talking about Scherzer vs. Hernandez with the edge going to Scherzer because of his stupid fucking record.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    It's fair to say that this game will generate a lot of buzz because of the Dragon Age name, but to suggest that it's going to be awesome is just silly. Why would anyone have faith after the heap of dog shit that was Dragon Age 2?

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

    I know a lot of people hated the second season, but it had some interesting character development. Season 3 was 14 hours of poor acting and meetings to discuss future meetings.

    Ray Donovan

    I think it's entertaining, but saying it's up there with The Sopranos and The Wire is quite a stretch. The show is pretty stupid when you really think about it. I mean the writers have Ray Donovan, one of the most connected men in L.A., travel to Boston just so they can introduce some irritating...

    Worst offenders of "zone rehashing"

    Playing Mass Effect 3 got me thinking about how the first game used the same environments for all the side missions. I've played other games that did the same thing such as Everquest 2 and Dragon Age 2. What other games are bad in that department?

    Dexter

    Dexter used to stalk his victims over the course of several episodes and it was something new and exciting. But I guess the novelty of a sympathetic serial killer wore off so the writers had Dexter dispatch his victims in a matter of minutes so they could focus on other things. It hasn't really...
