    Oblivion - Tom Cruise goes WALL-E

    i've always liked him as an actor but he seems to be choosing his roles a little more indiscriminately these days which is a little disappointing.

    dude, wow and eq were fundamentally different. in eq there was a little more comradery, relying on others was an integral part of the game, and even if you account for some of the distractions, leveling was still slower. wow was all about soloing through cartoon land with the occasional...

    that's kind of the point. you can't recreate the experiences of baldur's gate in an mmo.that's what developers nowadays are trying to do and they're failing miserably.

    a lot of the enjoyment comes from being emotionally invested in the world. modern mmos don't appeal to those sensibilities so you're left with soulless products that try to convey the strengths of single-player games in multiplayer settings. modern mmos have the potential to become fantasy...

    what kind of combat do you guys want? combat in an mmo is restricted by things like group dynamics and other mechanisms not present in single-player games. second of all, mmos should not be made with casual players in mind because casual players don't play mmos. people nowadays want games free...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    dude, you've made it clear that you have no clue what kind of fat intake is promoted by people on this diet. you even threw in some bullshit about bacon as if it's a paleo staple.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    you think the paleo diet is all about stuffing one's face with bacon and you also think dietary fat somehow makes its way into the arteries. what podunk fucking medical school did you go to? your opinion means jack shit. oh, and nutritional recommendations by major health organizations aren't...

    The Walking Dead

    i wasn't bothered by the show before the break, but i found myself really annoyed with this episode and started hating the show. the superhuman accuracy of every character, the insufferable andrea, and rick's theatrics just really started to bug me.

    it's a shame companies water their products down instead of just relying on reputation and brand name to draw people in. look at blizzard. they could have made diablo 3 a little darker, more unforgiving, and less appealing to instant gratification and you'd still have off-the-chart sales because...

    while i often eat and appreciate good food, i also love all sorts of fast food. burger king is delicious. i used to live in the bay area so in-n-out was always available but they could never get their fries right.

    i liked most wow raid encounters but they didn't feel like raids. also, they were simply more choreographed than eq raids because you only had 40 people

    there were many difficult raid encounters in eq. finding ways to exploit some of them doesn't take away from that. most wow raids were brilliantly designed but most people didn't even raid because, like eq, you had to commit quite a bit of time to preparation. aside from discovering some of the...

    i'd like to know who developers are trying to target these days. it seems like this is the only genre where people expect to make significant progress in 20 minutes. can you imagine people approaching every fucking game that way?

    i played on project 99 for the first time ever last night. it was cool to see some of the old world zones full and people in kunark raid gear. i would definitely devote some time to eq if sony implemented some truly classic servers and they had healthy populations. have they ever done something...

    Relocating to San Antonio

    unless you like spending inordinate amounts of time traveling to your destination, biking everywhere isn't realistic. the layout of san antonio (shit, most texas cities) isn't conducive to that type of transportation.

    i like realistic combat but i just don't see how that kind of coordination between several people would be feasible. in real life, your movements would be much more intuitive and enemies would die in one hit so i don't think it's fair to compare behaviors in that regard.

    i don't see anything wrong with conventional aggro behavior. without it, you just have people kiting mobs around and it becomes disorganized.

    Relocating to San Antonio

    aside from some tourist spots (river walk, zoo, alamo, sea world) it doesn't have a lot going for it. downtown is pretty pathetic for such a large city. however, my biggest issue with san antonio is that it's so fucking expansive that getting anywhere feels like a chore.

    are you going to keep using the same tired arguments when it's been shown time and again that the kind of mmos you endorse have no long-term appeal? you have no idea why people really play mmos nor do you understand what kept you hooked on everquest like it was heroin. you're absolutely clueless.
