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

    While it's true that Brad is extremely polarizing, there are a few people on the forum that don't fit either of those categories. I'll go ahead and predict most of those without serious bias will be generally underwhelmed, with the more optimistic among them saying things like, "Well, it's a...

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

    My prediction is that the detractors will continue to detract and the apologists will continue to apologize, and life will go on much the same as it was before.

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

    Pathfinder online had the exact same plans. This is one of those obvious ideas that has been tossed around for years. It makes sense. It's a great idea. But it's not new and there's nothing groundbreaking in suggesting it. It may be the first time you've heard it, but lots and lots of...

    Better Call Saul

    "Evidence" isn't "evidence" until a crime has been committed. If there are no charges (Indictment, criminal accusation, etc), there is no "evidence." Saul and his client are free to make all the videos they want with relative impunity up until the point that charges are levied. There are...

    I'm going to give some free advice to those Pantheon team members that read these boards. It really applies to just about everything in life and you can take it or leave it as you want: Keep your mouth shut about your intentions. Do work. Produce results. In short, don't tell me what...

    They're just pretty words man, don't fall in love with pretty words. Wait until you can put your hands on a game that actually does 20% of what that doc says. P.S. You'll be waiting a while

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

    So Crowfall isn't panning out, huh? Stopped following that thread but it looked like they had some good ideas. Anyone want to give me a brief summary on what happened? (Or what didn't happen)

    Better Call Saul

    Was thinking the same thing. Present it as symbolism only to reveal it's also actually a plot catalyst later. May not be the case, but that's the kind of thing these guys would do- and part of what makes their shows great.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Yeah, the whole package for the game and expanded content is like $90 on Steam. I want to play, but that's ridiculous.

    Damn. That must have been a short sale. Missed it already and you just posted that yesterday. Oh well.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Avoid Comcast like the plague. Seriously. I could tell several long, drawn out stories about how many times they have screwed me and then parade in most of my friends and family to tell you their own stories. Worst of all is the amount of your time they will waste. I put a premium on my free...

    Naw, that type of stuff is his bread and butter. He can write something like that up in less than an hour. And have it make sense and be pretty persuasive.

    Better Call Saul

    The garbage room = the prison where Gene has locked Saul. "SG was here" is what people write on the walls of the cell where they do time. As others have mentioned, the light switch and the door alarm are parallels. Saul would just open the door, knowing he could talk his way out of any...

    In the novel he goes back to '58 and basically has 5 years to prepare to stop the assassination. Not sure they can do a novel of that size and depth justice in 9 episodes.

    The Expanse

    I'm pretty critical and I don't feel like people got plot-stupid for the convenience of the writers. I can sense that shit a mile away and I didn't feel it in the books or show at all. They acted pretty similar to what average joe types encountering an unexpected situation would act like. And...

    Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

    This show is funny. Seriously funny. I'm super late to the thread, but I watched the first episode months ago and all I got out of it was that it was weird. Got really bored yesterday and watched the next few episodes- really fucking surprised. It's very witty. Definitely gets better as you...

    The Expanse

    It's a shame too. The books stay just as good or get better after the first and since it's a 9 book series they would have enough material to keep the show going to numerous seasons. It would suck if their bungling of the release derailed the show for good. It definitely feels like we are...

    The Expanse

    It's the way the books are written- at least as far as Holden goes. It's unrealistic, but Holden is unrealistic- or a better word would beidealistic- that's kind of a major part of who he is. When couched in the context of the books, Holden's character isn't unrealistic at all. Everyone...

    Had a good time. I don't mind soloing a chanter, but it's much more fun in a group.

    Yeah I PLed her a little with the chanter in Uguk last night (exp there definitely rocks). She stayed up playing after I crashed, so she should be 14 or very close by now. We will be on tonight Edit: Kalla is 14.5

    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    You guys may outpace Kalla and me, but we are going to try and keep up with you. I'm switching to my 20 enchanter and Kalla is a mage. If we can get on the same page, a mage, chanter, war, sham will be a pretty good 4 man. Both Kalla and I are at Guk now. If anyone else wants to join, we...

    The Expanse

    I've listened to all the books so far in this series on audiobook. They are all great, but for some reason they switched the reader in book 4 and it screws shit up (especially Avasarala). They go back to the original reader for book 5 though.

    The Expanse

    I was wondering if that was the case- if it is it's much more forgivable. I may not like the added stuff, but at least the original creators are the ones adding it in. I have a hard time believing that all the changes are the authors' doing, though. Some changes totally undermine things in...

    The Expanse

    My one complaint about the show is that they keep adding random shit in and changing book events. I can't stand it when shows/movies do this. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the producers/directors have time/money constraints and have to cut certain things out. Sometimes they even need to...

    The Expanse

    In the books Belters spoke a patois that was a smattering of numerous earth languages, but primarily Spanish based. The words were Spanish based anyway, but the accent was unclear. I like the show's take on the Belter accent. I agree that Jared Harris is doing a great job.

    Haha nice racket you had. You make Cuba seem like a blast for a guys trip. Going to be bringing a girl with me, so a lot of that stuff is off the table (although she *is* pretty openminded now that I think about it). That said, I think as an American Cuba is still a bit of a hassle. Plus I...

    Probably a good call on the car thing. Almost every airbnb review I read started with "The place was nice but impossible to find..." I don't mind a vacation a little on the bohemian side, but don't want to totally rough it. Not too concerned about groomed beaches. Tell me more about...

    Costa Rica

    Really surprised not to see a thread here within the last couple years about Costa Rica- considering how popular it's become due to cheap prices, friendly people, its relative safety, and ease of travel-- not to mention gorgeous environments. Anyway, I've never been and would love some advice...

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    That's disappointing to hear. (I'm no programmer) So, the eq emu guys had eq source code but the vg emu guys don't have vg source code?

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    I agree, if someone did with VG what Wiz and co did with EQ (i.e. Shards of Dalya), it would be fantastic. If you could tighten things up, shrink the game world, re-zone, re-lore, re-populate, fix some of the programming issues, etc, it could be an amazing game. Some of the assets...

    Did they ever open a new server or pvp server? I enjoyed my time on SoD but the server is pretty stale at this point.
