You're right.... some things are just not worth changing.

No disrespect to the guys behind EQNext, there ideas would be the best in MMO history as far as we know but, I really feel like everything from the lore to art direction is all over-thought. What is wrong with EQ? Why are they trying so hard to answer so many meaningless questions and modify...

I had posted before that it was odd that so many people had posted positive reviews. I guess they were just hiding for awhile. I agree though (and I assure you that I am a fan of the books and sensitive to the integrity of the story) these movies are pretty well done. I think you have to at...

Let's face it... this is leveraging words. Brad listened to their ideas and they used his name to create a little stir a few months ago and in exchange he bounced some ideas off them and they probably allowed a few artists to create some images for his kickstarter thus he is working "close"...

Regardless if you agree with the choices or not in these movies if I was in their shoes, I would have my agent lobbying hard for anything Marvel. Especially if it could be somehow tied to the Avengers. I can't imagine what casting would be like now that RDJ did what he did with the Ironman...

I have a strange feeling that Saruman is either going to kill, banish, or whatever Radaghast as a nod of Saruman turning. I'm pretty sure, if my memory serves me, we are never told Radaghasts fate after he speaks to the eagles. I also have a feeling we may see a Yoda moment were Radaghast goes...

Without getting to in-depth.... just the summaries of the war would suggest the movies has a good chance to be awesome. I'm going to read The Hobbit again over Christmas break just to get everything back into context. http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Battle_of_Five_Armies

Seems like I read somewhere before that Jackson, when attempting to get the blessing to bridge the books/films per say, was given access to a lot of things the Tolkien had written that may have not even been published. It is hard to tell what Jackson has read in terms of notes, journals, etc...

I was a Bard in Conquest. I had just moved to them in EQ not too long before we rolled the second time on DAoC for some new serve they opened. I didn't want to move from EQ but the Sleeper incident has happened and they kicked 2/3's of our guild. I wasn't extremely familiar with DAoC outside...

I mentioned this earlier... I am pleasantly surprised how positive people have been about this movie. I think for the most part people have enjoyed it. I've seen a handful of negative comments thus far which equates to me that it must be a pretty good movie. (You can check my review a few...

I don't entirely agree with the review but this is really the best one I have read. The more I think about it. The more I like the light heartedness and Disney-like moments. The Hobbit was introduced to me and even now my children at an elementary school age so I'm glad they did that. After...

I don't see how people consider it below average for a MMO? If you want to be critical of the game just say it offered nothing new or special. It isn't a giant killer or revolutionary but the game delivered at the very fundamental level of MMO's. I really enjoyed it for what time I played it...

I wouldn't go as far as Lucas 2.0 and in Jackson's defense, I think he remained pretty consistent. All the complaints in these movies you can see hints of in the others. (i.e. Legolas jedi) Lightening rarely strikes twice and I still say if the 3rd delivers and improves the way 2 did from 1...

For years I would have said National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation but Elf is my Christmas movie now. It is just the perfect mix of everything. Other stuff I look forward to for Christmas are just a lot of classics from my childhood that I can't believe my kids actually enjoy.... Rudolph...

I don't think you're being fair to the possibilities and abilities that technology lends. You are comparing what some dude in a $50.00 outfit he probably made himself looks like to what can be potentially done through CGI and some movie magic. I do agree however that it is probably much...

We can justify a man wearing a spider costume, a giant lizard, and if they go with Doc Oc in the future a man with robotic arms but we can't go with the above? There are other versions of the costume as well that look great.

Yup....

Going to watch it again this weekend. I really enjoyed it. Liked it better than the first. I'm not sure how I feel about the elf/dwarf romance.... it didn't hurt anything but I felt like it wasted a little screen time. If it would have been excluded, I don't think I would miss it. So...

True... i'll give you that.

What I have read and heard as well. Was what I was hoping for... Though I liked the Fellowship better than The Hobbit, found each more better than the on before it. I walked away form The Hobbit feeling not too differently as I did the Fellowship. Again, better movie than the Hobbit but I...

Screw FPS map design... you just summed up MMO dungeon design. As much I enjoyed FFXIV, why can't we find a happy medium with dungeons and questing?

I agree and was actually going to speak to a lot of that earlier but I guess I would prefer them to adapt the character from the original a bit more to maybe make it look and feel more familiar. Though, I understand their attempt to keep an element of realism. However, if i'm making a comic...

Yeah.. new electro looks like something from the Watchmen. Maybe i'm just old fashioned but when it comes to these stories I think you look at the traditional/classic first. The "ultimate" versions are not always the best.

Happy Festivus! Human fund! Definitely giving +nets for that.... Festivus for the Rest-of-us!

IV (II-SNES US) and III (SNES US) are they two best FF's in my opinion. From the day it came out until this very day, I feel that FFVII's success was the downfall of the franchise. Kind of like a WoW situation. FFVII (and WoW) are good games, I have nothing against them whatsoever but, their...

I guess i'll join the minority and say I liked The Amazing Spider-man. I liked the aspect of it being a solid action movie (the spidey fights were in my opinion as close as you can get to how Spider-man would fight) and the comic/fantasy portion of it. I know people don't like the crane scene...

Thanks for the info... I hope you're right though. It is easy to get a bitter taste and high expectations when you see the really good and then the really bad. I can't help but expect people to attempt to follow suit.

You know what makes me mad about SimCity, Diablo, and other games that had such long awaited reboots is that they missed the mark so badly. They have great potential and have some good stuff but it is as if they wanted to limit how good they could be... Think of SimCity with larger maps...

Anyone play the 007 for WiiU? If so, anyone try some of the 3rd party Pro controllers? Amazon has some for $12.00ish a piece and I grabbed 007 for $7.00 yesterday from Amazon.

I don't want to say SimCity is the "worst" game but it was definitely disappointing and even more so because it would not take much to fix it in my eyes.

I like using this page due to the percentages and such. I don't go directly by this but it is great way to see details and the big picture of a build. http://diablo.somepage.com/popular/monk#builds-hc

Played through again and took a monk to 60 with a couple of friends. Game is pretty good but could definitely use the expansion changes. I feel about the same as I did when I played through the first time. I like the simplicity of just trying to gear out. It is kind of fun as well to just...

Why did they not do ladders and such in D3?

I've heard/read in places they are hoping to promote more community some way but having players go back to the way it once was and i'm assuming that means a chat channel dedicated to advertising goods. I don't know the details but everything points to forcing players to talk to each other or go...

Watched some streams this morning and I like what I see thus far. I like the map, Crusaders seem cool even though I doubt i'll play one, and overall appears to be worth the crawl. Hope it is not too far off. Been playing D3 quite a bit lately and it is a pretty good source of mindless...

Enjoying it. Seamless setup and loving the fact i'm playing 2K14 on PS and not Xbox. One thing everyone was raging about at our Gamestop was the XBONE controller. They had the display setup and had a controller out and that thing is garbage. The system and everything may be fine or even...

This has been done.. and done... and done. There's no point to this and no offense to them, Minecraft has been out for a long time and now Landmark which is kind of the next step (visually and conceptually) has been announced, what's the point? I guess I just feel this is a waste of good...

I don't know how everyone felt about Bane in the latest Batman or the direction chosen for the Mandarin but ever since those examples, I have a hint of fear they'll screw up Ultron.

I never really expected anything ground breaking but when new consoles come out you have to pick a side and move on. If you have a strong enough PC gaming life you can hold out until a price drop but you're saving probably $50 at most. My XBox was on its last leg, I never really liked the...

Was a little disheartened that Console and PC Community cannot play together. I'll probably stick to PC but I was actually considering trying out PC games on the new consoles. Still considering D3 and FFXIV as birthday presents but it is hard to give up the power and conveniences of a PC...
