i don't think anyone has suggested permadeath was always looming in eq. however, the time spent recovering your corpse was important for establishing the game's pace and death even promoted player interaction. there was nothing "treacherous" about exploration in wow. you could run past most mobs...

i lost my corpse on two occasions. the first time, i didn't realize your corpse decayed in 30 minutes or whatever if you were below a certain level. i spent hours looking for it in butcherblock. the second time, i died and didn't log back in for a couple of weeks. i lost all of my crafted armor...

i love that rezz keeps peddling the "eq players were naive" bullshit as though no one ever got used to the way things worked in the game. the dude really is an idiot of the highest order.

1. morons like rezz and itzena equate polish and convenience with good game design. these are the same guys who think eq and wow had the same social atmosphere despite having fundamentally different designs. you can't reason with these people because they just don't get it. 2. why are...

i'm surprised only 2 million people bought the game. i thought the IP would have attracted a lot more. did they even market this overseas?

eat two or three meals a day

swtor's fate was sealed long before any public outcry. the game has bigger problems than the engine which frankly has received undue criticism. the developers banked on the creation of alts to drive the game's long-term success, but the problem is that the stories aren't that exciting and...

eggs don't raise blood cholesterol and are pretty fucking good for you

potatoes and other tubers are staples of the paleo diet. the sweet potato is one of the most nutritious foods on earth. one of my favorite meals is garlic roasted lamb and a sweet potato with two over easy eggs on top

pvp is fine when it's an integral part of the pve experience. duking it out for resources, forming alliances, and the politics involved give it meaning. i can see why people would have a problem with class imbalance but open pvp isn't about besting all of your opponents and getting your name on...

look at the traditional japanese diet as a whole instead of dissecting its constituent parts. vegetables and animal fats are a staple of the diet with rice used as a cheap, innocuous source of glucose. you'll see the japanese life expectancy decline as more people adopt a westernized fast food...

grains provide absolutely nothing you can't get from more nutrient-dense foods. why do you keep chiming in with your caloric intake nonsense when no one is even talking about weight loss? you're not very smart.

there's nothing unhealthy about it unless you're eating nothing but steak. stop being a moron.

the more i think about it, the more i welcome this change. lucas' prequels failed because he applied the same tone and acting methodology from his previous films and it just didn't translate well. as long as he doesn't overdo the lens flare, i think it'll be decent.

1) eqwindows came out nearly two years after the game's release. 2) you needed a cutting edge computer to even run it. 3) the alternative was using multiple computers which wasn't an option for most people. every guild had a couple of people who either used bots in cases of emergency or...

weight loss doesn't equal health. stop talking about calories

posting the same meaningless studies and then telling someone to come up with a double-blind experiment isn't handing someone his ass. you're one of the most pathetic pieces of shit i've ever encountered on the internet. stick to talking about fake girlfriends.

you just wasted time disputing a claim no one in this thread has even made

this game should be good for about a week

anyone seen it? it's a documentary about serial identity thief frederic bourdin who impersonates a missing 14-year-old from san antonio. one of the better movies from 2012

what's your point? wow wasn't hard either. the only thing that was remotely challenging was figuring out a strategy for some of the raid bosses. wow raids were also a lot more choreographed because you had only 40 people as opposed to 70. eq was "hard" in the sense that you actually had to...

conceptualizing is fun, but the fact of the matter is developers can't do a whole lot to guarantee a game's longevity. narratives are nice and one of the reasons people love single-player games, but an mmo storyline isn't going to span weeks or months. developers don't have enough money to...

i hate this guy http://www.thewrap.com/movies/articl...xclusive-74596

1. death penalties and the like aren't about difficulty. they're elements that are conducive to creating an effective fantasy world. 2. "difficulty" has several definitions and if your argument is that eq wasn't difficult then i'll tell you every mmo since has been child's play 3. eq's combat...

- stay away from 6th street at night. that's when it's full of rambunctious young college students - see a movie at an alamo drafthouse theatre - east austin has some of the more charming areas - austin has some of the best food in the country. some of my favorites include little deli and...

wow the package the braves offered for upton is absolutely terrible. kevin towers might be retarded.

grouping in gw2 versus grouping in eq is like going to the grocery store versus shooting the shit with your friends in your apartment. i find it hard to believe that grouping in fucking mmos has become such a bone of contention. just blow up the genre.

why don't we just let players adapt to certain obstacles instead of segregating the population?

upton is a remarkable talent

1. butter and olive oil have beneficial properties. no one is suggesting you eat a pound of butter and guzzle olive oil every day. in fact, pufas can be pretty inflammatory when taken to excess 2. it's actually easy to overeat fruits because most of them are very palatable and fructose isn't...

the braves are supposedly close to acquiring upton. if texas doesn't land him because jon daniels refused to part with luis sardinas i'm going to be pissed

rice is a pretty harmless grain and even promoted by many in the "paleo" camp.

games have the ability to become fantasy worlds. that's ultimately what people want but modern games fail in that regard because they do everything they can to remind the player of all the restrictions imposed on him before ushering him through. instead of being sucked into the game world people...

list some of the benefits of saturated fats, "doctor"

the studies you keep posting to "prove" saturated fats are bad effectively lack context. i'm pretty sure you're retarded.

you'd have to monitor the subjects' macronutrient ratios and ensure they ate quality saturated fats. you do realize there have never been any significant double-blind studies on conventional dietary recommendations, right?

what do i know? you spent years studying outdated information only to get a job prescribing statins (assuming you really are a doctor). seriously, you're not an expert so stop acting like one. it's not hard to analyze the nutrient profiles of foods and to think critically of the things you're...

that's precisely what a cohort study is. these studies have countless undefined variables. what are you having trouble understanding? signed, a biochemist/lipid researcher

still citing epidemiological studies heh
