    The Pokemon Thread

    I had never played any of these games. I remember when I was a CS student in college a Comic Book store hired me to do their networking and set up their eBay store so I actually worked there for a few months. I remember hearing about these games and the card games. I despised these kids at the...

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    I'm playing pretty casual due to time and how my job is going right now but FFXIV is definitely the only MMO I even consider playing for the time being... i'm sure others will find their itches scratched with Wildstar and Star Citizen. New consoles are on the horizon as well so i'm sure things...

    The Hobbit

    Yeah.. looks pretty good. Been hearing that most people expect this movie to be the best of the three. We'll see but this is coming from someone who really enjoyed the first one. I was pretty forgiving as I felt LotR TT and RotK were far better than FotR. So, I was anticipating The Hobbit...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I think it is hilarious that people are rushing to the top in a month or less expecting this massive amount of content when it is blatantly obvious the majority of the content is currently in the middle. You pretty well ordered a burger, asked for all your favorite toppings, dressings,whatever...

    Having a great time as well. If anything it feels like what I expected EQ2 to have been with nicer graphics. In addition I feel like I have a ton of things to do. I may be the minority but I like the choices of FATES, Duty Finder, LeveQuests, GuildHiests, Story Quests, normal quests, and just...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I still think it's possible. Also, was it the Spider-man or X-men cartoon series that had the Secret Wars? That was a great storyline too

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I don't see how they can pull off the hero portion of the Infinity Gauntlet. You pretty well have to bring in everyone not to mention all the cosmic beings. I would love to see it attempted. I don't know why... maybe his voice just sounds cool to me but I'm voting for Faramir to be Adam...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I want a good Daredevil. I want a good Fantastic Four. To finish it all off, I want the Infinity Gauntlet and then they can do whatever they want. Couple of other notes of past and possibly future screw-ups to watch for and/or possibly correct. Galactus - Don't screw that up Madarin -...

    Pacific Rim

    When are people going to learn that sometimes it is ok to accept that massive explosions and giant robots, without any kind of sophisticated, supporting storyline is a completely reasonable means to make a profit. I do believe Pacific Rim is a far superior movie than any of the Transformer...

    This. It has killed me to not play a healer for the first time since 1999. I would finally decide to change classes the very game that brought back asking for rezzes. To me, that's a major layer of community. I always like running dungeons for people who needed a particular item or update...

    I noticed two things you said there that I have really missed as well. You log on to chat with people and you do melds for people. I hear people all the time helping others out to finish relics stuff or whatever. Sure they're making money is most situations but I haven't seen anyone do that...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I would agree to this until this game. I really believe there's more time worth playing than a month or two in this game. It could be that i've been so busy and RL has limited my gaming time. I think if you rushed through the content you missed a lot of old school MMO feeling but if you're...

    World War Z

    Movie was a C+.. Ending was a F. Just seemed to get worse as it went along. Should been more like the book where they jumped around from various perspectives and interviews.

    This year? Perfect for me even if its December. As a school Administrator, Thanksgiving and Christmas are my prime gaming time. Hoping to enjoy a little console gaming for Thanksgiving and then 2.1 for Christmas. I have it all planned out haha. I'm moving really slow in FFXIV as well. Some...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    It wasn't so much of what they had right but rather how many bought in to it. It was nothing to see 100 vs 100 in Kylong with 40-50 of the neutral guys coming in to gank. It was just fun mainly because of the people. Everyone knew the good and bad. Gank spots were fun. It was really timing...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    PVE: Server first Yelanik was awesome. We tried it with about 300 people and failed and failed. Our raid leader finally freaked out and kept about 4-5 solid groups or whatever we killed him effortlessly. We had a Plane of Sky raid and on the last island I was the last on alive one time and...

    Warhammer Online RIP

    So unfortunate. I always felt like this game was just a swing and a miss. It had great potential and I had a lot of fun until the end game. They couldn't get the RvR right either. People just flipped and it was an endless cycle. There was never a point to defend a keep. If the masses came...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    The comic / super-hero stuff is his interests. I may have spoken too much on my behalf because I was trying to justify it by my own investigation. It is really the only reason i'm considering it. You have no idea how much my house is Avengers, Ironman, Captain America, etc. He's in full...

    Got my code and notice in email today. Curious to see how many new accounts are made today. I actually heard quite a few people the last few days saying they were looking to buy the game. Hopefully the drop off and new guys will offset. It has been good to see groups of people at every quest...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    Again, I appreciate everyone's comments and responses. I think we are still going to attempt to piece out a lot our sports collection to give us a little money to take my sons to some shows and let them spend some stuff. I think Dad and I are going buy them some more collectible ones to throw...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    I guess i'm looking more into the collecting culture now in regards to cards (and maybe my ignorance has led me to believe comics may be different but again, the comic route was more driven more from my son than my market assessment). Due to the current state of cards and sports, the...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    Appreciate the comments and insight guys. Again, not trying to "make" money and I am going to just get what my kids want but I am wanting to add to it. I probably didn't articulate this earlier but I want my kids to get Spiderman actions figures, dollar comics, just whatever he wants but...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    None taken but what we did learn is that Sports collectibles are something you really can't even get into anymore. To save themselves they created the extreme values and then everything else. You cannot casually collect for fun and at the same time get something you feel is worth something...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    That is essentially what my Dad is looking to do. He's wanting to get the Silver/Golden Age kind of stuff. Our Sport Memorabilia collection is pretty extensive and while we would love the investment aspect, it is really not a major priority. Essentially, the money invested in our Sports...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    First, let me provide some background. My father and I have travelled the eastern United States going to card shows and collecting sports cards and memorabilia. We were and are sports nuts and my Dad always felt that it was better to invest in something you enjoy collecting that throwing in a...

    This... This... This. It really wasn't my intention to take it too slow as I wanted to keep up with the pack but life had other plans. My son's soccer season is still making up games. It has forced me to not get in a hurry and it has really made the game that much more enjoyable to me. I...

    I don't know about that.. haha Sure there will be drop off and lets face it, everyone has their own cup of tea but plenty of people are already discussing the game and the upcoming updates. It is still too early to tell. My advice is just get with friends where ever, enjoy the game, take it...

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

    Who is Brad working with on this project? Also, why such a short stint with SoE? Didn't they put him in charge of EQ? I'm thinking this was known in the beginning. They picked his brain and ran some things by him for EQNext then tossed him in the corner. I'm thinking he was just biding his...

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

    I would like to see Brad and Hartsman make a MMO together that way we can finally put to rest if either of them is actually worth anything to the industry. Not to be mean but they both seemed accidental in their work or maybe it was timing. Regardless I would like to see Brad put out a...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    From what i've played and seen of ESO, I think you'll have to be content with the story and what you can do as an individual and maybe a small group of friends. I think it will have the same fate and aftertaste as SWTOR. I think the console and Skyrim fans will get it and enjoy it for a period...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I don't know.. I think there will be some drop off as I said earlier but I think people will stick it out with this game only because of the feel. I give it 3 months before anything significant happens. I believe the crossroad will come sometime in November and/or December. If they are not...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There will be some drop off and I feel no sympathy for those that are just blasting through content but I think we will be pleasantly surprised just how many people hang around up to and through Christmas. I think this game has to focus on Christmas and there after. You're going to have a lot...

    In true "rerolled" style, I rerolled on Gilga remaking my Dragoon. Now that my son's soccer season is wrapping up, I should have more playing time. I'll shoot someone a message in game for a FC invite. Muligan Jurai Dragoon on Gilgamesh. As much as I loved my White Mage, after playing a...

    Wow... I think my Dragoon is still over there but I had given up due to the server issues. I may have to jump on to Gilgamesh if you guys have that much going on. Love the guys on Malboro, extremely helpful and nice guys, but I think the most i've seen on is 10-12 in the FC. Just hate to go...
