    EQ Never

    There's already been one of these. It was a MMO where they literally created new land masses (including an orbital space station) and sold the virtual land to players and it included an RMT means to buy things. But curse my advancing senility I can't remember the name. I played it briefly...

    First and foremost I would pay cash money for this mount if when standing still the "jump" (i.e. space bar) made it rear up into a middle finger stance. As for cash shops... What's the difference between paying $15 a month for a subscription and paying $15 a month for currency to use in the...

    Anchorman: The Legend Continues

    OK, I just filled out my Ferrell movie agenda by finally watching The Other Guys, and any of you who don't get the genius in taht movie should go back to you homes... on whore island. I also fear for this movie because the first Anchorman was so iconic I fear it won't be possible to live up...

    To paraphrase an old Taoist proverb..... A Confucian, A Buddhist, and a Taoist are standing around the FSR thread. The Confucian opens a spoiler and immediately scowls because it is a tranny. The Buddhist opens the spoiler and is unplussed, he has distanced himself from any shock the internet...

    How do you prefer your steak?

    This for me. Depends on the place and the quality of meat. Better the meat, rarer the steak.

    If you expect a gaming journalist to be a good/great gamer then I assume you're expecting political correspondents to be good politicians? Movie Critics to be good directors?

    Neverwinter: PC

    I just got my third profession to level 20... and it tastes like... sadness. If they at least had alternate leveling paths that would be one thing. But the same set of zones and quests have made me alt-averse.

    They just keep hitting that one damn button over and over to authenticate. Obviously this is being designed to require no skill.

    Well, in case it matters today is the official launch day. And apparently they're adding an alchemy trade skill in. The end of beta even was moderately fun for around an hour. (standard "evil army is creating portals and invading the normally safe city" bit) And the cool prize is a skeletal...

    My wife has consistently said things like this. And for the last couple years I have over and over had to say "Whereas it's technically possible there's no way the government would actually be doing this shit". Then consistently within a few months I have to live through the "I told you"...

    Man of Steel

    Went with the wife. Solid movie. I'd give it an 8/10. Wife puts it more around a 9/10. She puts this at third behind Avengers and IM1. Only things I didn't like really were the darker outfit (I know, everything has to be darker and grittier now.. yadda yadda yadda) They could have done...

    I'm in the same boat. Although I actually prefer my original Nostromo n52 (not the stupid Razer second edition..). With the n52, or a G13 I was able to AFK level in WOW in a couple areas where mobs were on a fixed movement pattern. So I could stand in one spot with a repeating macro.. easy...

    Own two Xbox 360s in my house, don't plan on ever letting an XBOne through the door. Might get a PS4, haven't decided yet. As with many around here, I game on my PC. My wife, likewise, uses hers more than either xbox.

    I'm looking forward to a few things. a) Warplots - Reminds me of Shadowbane, which was a game I liked because I like the idea of building a city and defending it. b) Paths - Nice to see a game which will tailor to the playstyles of people, specifically looking forward to both the explorer and...

    Now You See Me

    I can pretty much ditto this review. It's not a cinematic masterpiece, but it was enjoyable. And the ending was one neither my wife nor I guessed or saw coming. And of course, as usual, they pay Morgan Freeman to explain everything (to a certain degree).

    I've hit level 60, and gotten a tradeskill to 20, and at this point feel no more compulsion to log in.... looking at the massive slowdown in trade on the AH I would suspect I am not the only one in this condition.

    I like the idea of timed events/encounters. Defeat boss X and get <loot> , defeat him in under so many minutes and get <loot>+<loot> (or <loot++), and so on... rewarding more efficient/effective teams with either more or better loot. Want better loot? Learn to play better.

    I think the topic many are dancing around here is why you are in a guild. For some people it's the necessary means to the ends of conquering end game content. For some people it's just having a group around of people you get along with the group/game with and maybe even do some things you...

    SO it looks like player housing form Horizons, plus Guild towns/forts from Shadowbane. And an actual explorer class. I could get into this. When do we sausage surprise our way into beta?

    Neverwinter: PC

    I don't know about people saying the bosses get harder in the 30's. My wife and I have been playing and neither of us died before our early 50's. And the bosses really didn't seem difficult until the level 58-60 range.

    Especially since armor and weapons are app specific to a SINGLE class. Not even any of the old "Pallys and warriors both use plate" nonsense. Seems like a massive oversight, then again... you could enter negative bids in the on line auction house until around 48 hours ago

    TO put it in simpler (or possibly more complex) terms (depending on your technical forte). Have every transaction (AH, trades, Zen Store, AD store, Zen/AD and AD/Zen) generate a syslog event, funnel them all to a big ass syslog repository, then slap Splunk on it and go to town with business and...

    Yeah, I can see possibly a day rollback. But even if they do they'll have to refund any zen purchases within that time. They can remove the AD which were in the exploiters possession, but I don't see how they'll undo "cat-a-palooza". Part of me would think the only way to level the playing...

    And it all comes back to the one true addage of programming in the internet age... "Always sanitize your inputs" I'm also wondering what they're going to do. I could see if they had records of all AH transactions they could remove some of the money and ban those who did it. But that didn't...

    Kinda let down in the season finale here. No resolution on what they're doing with Crowley. No resolution on Cas really. I was hoping to wrap up some of the tablet stuff, and they really didn't do that.

    Arrow

    Yeah, I loved this finale. Which is essentially around the opposite of how I felt about the Supernatural finale. Merlyn will end up alive because Diggle will leave the roof and Merlyn will call in a chopper evac after. That was a tidy way to wrap up the whole "will he turn evil like his did"...
