    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Rift fans are delusional. I'm convinced of that. They are truly believe their game is successful and popular when everything points to that being false. There is a reason this game went F2P and it isn't because a ton of people were playing it. Storm Legion barely registered on the radar in...

    Is it a better game than say Path of Exile though? My short time with MH, the answer would be no.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Been a few days but finally got to see this. The annoying thing about episodes like this is the plot holes it creates (or seems to). For example: With them not showing the black gate, what stops the wildings from just waltzing through? That light at the end of the tunnel looked pretty...

    Welcome back to the throne Sony. We missed you the past 7 years. What an ass kicking that conference was last night. Oh to be a fly on the wall in the MS offices as they were watching their company getting raped over and over.

    Didn't Obama rail against this back in 2008? http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9845595-7.html For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and "wiretaps without warrants," he said. (He was referring to the lingering...

    Path of Exile

    Finally started this weekend (wanted something more than Marvel Heroes). Took the advice from earlier in the thread going to exilepro and working on a shadow Freeze pulse tank. Like it so far, only lvl 11 but mobs go down quick. Haven't figured out if it's better just buy better gear or...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    It's supposed to be a superhero MMO/Diablo hybrid and yet is missing the two vital aspects of those type of games: Superhero MMO - Customization (extremely limited) Diablo clone - Loot and gearing (very vanilla, boring in most aspects) Hate to say it, but this is an example of why you...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I agree and I see now why there was a lot of disappointment when it was announced the game was going to be top down (I think very early on this was supposed to be more like DCUO). Not that a game like this can't be good, but I can't see anything that makes it stand out. The devs are obviously...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    So I put a decent amount of time in it last night, playing Hawkeye, and the gameplay just feels bland. I mean, I know there is a story there but it just feels like mindless clicking and button mashing with no point. There is nothing exciting about the drops, even when it's rare (outside of...

    My first thought would also be camps. Yea it's expensive but you only have to worry about it for a couple of months and then your good for the rest of the year. Not something I need to worry about, my kid is in a year round school.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why wouldn't they think that, it's not like the show has gone out of it's way to prove otherwise. No Tower of Joy dream, barely even mention of Rhaegar (do non-book readers even know who Rhaegar is or even Lyanna Stark for that matter?)

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'll never understand why they gave Talisa/Jeyne a bigger role in the show than she ever had in the books and in my opinion they did that at the expense of Catelyn's character.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I agree. In fact we just saw an example of that with last night. There's a ton of inner dialogue with Catelyn, especially at the end but of course we can't see any of that in the show for obvious reasons. As for last night, it would of been nice if they could of filmed them when they get to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Her character is condensed, in the same way Jon's is. She's not as much of a badass in the show as she was in the books at this point. How many times has she recited her 'list', twice? But each episode is only an hour and you can only show so much. That way some actors disappear for 2-3...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I saw a quote from Martin where he says to expect more deviations from the books in S4. I guess my question is when does the show stop being canon? (if it's not already).

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They also changed when Jon get's his face messed up by the bird, I believe he was on the other side of the wall when that happened. I had forgotten about it until they showed it last night. I don't think it was Oona Chaplin, I think it was the actress playing Ros (thus why they killed her off).

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't see how you would properly convey that on the screen to get the same desired effect. Maybe have the camera on Arya's face and then see something crashing down on her head and then go the black? I'm sure the internet would probably go even more apeshit than it is now. I don't get the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well, for all the hype building to it, it was a very good episode. Not great (I'm not sure anything comes close to Blackwater in S2), some things just felt off. RW didn't have quite the impact as in the books but I guess that's my fault for reading the books. Once Talisa announced she was...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I probably can find this exact same quote posted two years ago in the Rift thread. We see how that turned out. History proves time and time again that any game that contains both PvE and PvP, a majority of players and therefore development, will gravitate toward PvE.

    We did this once when she was 3 months old, 8 hour road trip. For the most part it wasn't that big of a deal, she slept through most of it. On the way back though she was more fussy, would cry everytime she was awake. Be prepared to make lots of stops, if not for the diaper changes alone...

    I agree with this, up until my daughter was 5, the only things she ever did screen time wise was watch Nick Jr and play educational games (Starfall, Nick Jr, sometimes Disney Jr.). As long as you limit times then it shouldn't really be an issue. Obviously as they get older they want to start...

    What did you just read?

    Just finished 11/22/63. Thought it was a very good book, although I've seen some put it on the level of some of King's best books (Shining, Salem's Lot, etc) and I wouldn't go that far. I didn't like the ending as much but that's more because it wasn't the way I hoped it would end. When you...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Actually, they haven't portrayed any of the people on the other side of the world as how they are described in the book. This goes to Dany herself, they don't have her wearing a Tokar (I think that's how it's spelled). Titan's Bastard stole both scenes he was in.

    Good episode, definitely better than the last two. I still think as a whole this season isn't as good as S1 and that's a shame because SOS is such a great book I though it would translate better to the screen. Book purists are going ape shit over the Sansa wedding (her kneeling), I've...

    My daughter did the sign language learning when she was in day care, it actually was really good.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I dunno, I think the show is strong in some aspects and weak in others. There are some scenes that are great and then some that have some bad writing. I thought the Tyrion/Shae scene was pretty bad but maybe that's a reflection on how bad the actress is? I think the Theon stuff is overdone...

    Not a great episode. Tyrion continues to be pussified in every scene now. Theon continues to get tortured. Bear scene was underwhelming. Did they ever explain why they replaced a somewhat memorable character like Vargo Hoat with a completely uninspired character (Locke?)? Also looks like...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They are kinda fucking up Tyrion's character a bit. He's become Ned Stark 2.0 it seems. That scene with Cersei was painful to watch, he's practically begging not to have his life in danger and then it's him that tells Sansa about the marriage. Episode was average.

    The best sequel of all time?

    I don't see how Godfather 2 isn't the clear winner when it's a sequel to a movie that was already considered one of the greatest movies ever and then surpassed that.
