    Breaking Bad

    yeah. that was a bit weird. Todd is definitely not a genius. But that was a bit odd to sit there and do that. "well I didn't know how that was until you just told me who that was..." The second aspect of this, is Todd going out of his way to not kill Skylar. Not just there, but actively...

    Remakes that are better than the originals

    The thing is as, noted, Zombies are just kindof the constant threat in a proper zombie movie. Its where movies screw up with fast zombies and easily killed zombies. They become action movies. At its core, a zombie movie should have little really different between it, and The Thing, the Road...

    Remakes that are better than the originals

    the one that can't die. the main problem with zombie movies nowadays is they are too easy to kill. Piercing weapons on undead? wtf is this shit? The whole dead rising from the grave part is completely undermined by the ease at which you just shoot them in the head. plots need to be...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    yeah. A good comparison would be DCUO vs Champions online, or City of Heroes. DCUO really removed any ability to give your character its own backstory. in the world of superheroes, I found this a cardinal sin. Capes are all about origin stories. there is a reason we see them remade over and...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    yeah, to keep this derail going. (oops) cliches occur in narratives alot for a reason. there is often only a few ways to sensibly explain gameplay at times. Particularly in video games you need to explain why the player character is a moron, and knows NOTHING about the world they live in...

    Card Hunter

    that seems alright. I guess. does it proc the "use holy on someone else, draw a card", card?

    Scrolls

    Anyone got an update on this? Was playing cardhunter.. and thinking about the hearthstone buzz. then remembered this game. and was wondering what its status was.

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    Comics are meant to be read and enjoyed. not collected in bags. If you want something of value. Autographs, and original art is where its at. Most artists sell original pages. As whats even better then that? The ACTUAL penciled pages...

    Breaking Bad

    Probably. Would not be surprised if he kills the girl and kid. Probably to force Jesse to cooperate and tells Jesse. who then suicides on purpose with meth explosion to take him out.

    Breaking Bad

    yeah, but isn't that Heisenberg? his ego keeps making him do stupid shit.

    Card Hunter

    yeah. like this alot. Early game. mages seem way stronger then warriors. Range, piercing, no parry, elec is strong vs blocking. ground fields. pushbacks. Ive won the vast majority of my pve missions that are close via kiting with my mage or hotspot/spike traps. with my warrior dead...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    dont agree. I think some devs have learned something from the D3 fiasco. As well as some other games. I am pretty sure a hell of alot have learned that making endgame being purely gear is a huge mistake. A path of exile like, Gems, runes,skills and gear allows so much more expansion...

    Salem Witch trials were 1692. And of course he is a Puritan.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    yeah, blocking other player progression is like most other game systems, depends on the game its build around. Presumably such a game has a pvp component. The pvp component could be overt, in terms of actual player combat. I mean, gw2, holding stonemist, is that not blocking player/guild...

    The Netflix Thread

    yeap, gave Resolution a shot from you guys talking about it. Pretty good for a low budget. Liked From within and soloman kane as well. Got got totally overlooked as a number of similar movies came out at that same time. all of which were terrible. like season of the witch.

    League Of Legends

    They've already made some changes to support. Gold income is way better then before. Mastery's, runes, g/5 items. they way assists work. Alot of this came from Leona, I think. she was a problem, and I certainly bitched up a storm about here when she was first introduced. I love her...

    League Of Legends

    that said, I think we can all agree its largely a patch, on what is not the most perfect design/solution. Ideally, a jungle would be an option, not a requirement. and as you say, that jungle should not have total that kindof power when he is there.

    Firefall

    haha yeah. And its funny, every time I look at one of the EQ nostalgia people, like Quaid is doing in the "imploding" thread. "ZOMG EQ used to be challenging, and just dropped you out in the world, without knowing what to do, or where to go. it was so great!" no. no it really isnt. Do...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    wherein lies the problem. in one breath you suggest smaller studios should make these games. but then refuse to even look at anything that is not AAAAAAAA mmo with a shit ton of publisher backing. (of course many of those games also have other glaring problems. Par for course, much of those...

    tons of indie mmos? Darkfalls and the like? are you just pretending these games don't exist, while ASKING for these games to exist and how you would love to see them get made? Also, go look at the GW2 development through betas. it started without hearts, or vistas/etc. And when players...

    League Of Legends

    Morgana. who also "ignores CC", bullies lanes, out farms, deals more damage. Aoe slows without rylais. and an ult that does significantly more damage over a much much shorter period of time. 3seconds in her ult will deal more damage then 10seconds in his. And abilities can be compared. Yes...

    League Of Legends

    what can he do Morg doesnt do better? Or anivia? Swains vamp is on his ult. Morgs is on everything. His aoe root is ok. but the damage vs cooldown and its delay is questionable. a 1second delay with 2 second root. 240 damage scaling at .7ap. 125 radius. 900 range 18-10s cd...

    did you actually even read it? "For fourth-quarter 2012, U.S. revenues were $5.8 billion, a decrease of 9% compared with the year-ago quarter.This decrease was primarily the result of the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor in November 2011 and Geodon in March 2012.International revenues were $9.3...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    I know a number of chemists at Pfizer. They are get hit hard by generics. Every time a patent runs out, they get hammered. Spend billions on R&D. have your drugs copied and you get undercut. there is a reason generics are much cheaper. Zero overhead on research, or clinical trials, and...

    Robocop - Remake

    not a fan of what I see. however, the pg12 vs R is not a big deal, imho. ratings have progressed. Robocops original R would be pg-13 by todays standards. culture of violence and all.

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    well. I am with Tuco. I can't think of any brand I boycott on ethics. there are brands I avoid because I have been dissatisfied with quality. Hewlett Packard, many car brands(never a Chrysler, Ford,etc,) I'll avoid Apple like the plague. I'll avoid some brands due to cost. Sony...

    League Of Legends

    I suppose you could argue that is sortof similar to my problem with a competitive game like LoL. I basically refuse to play Ranked, because I am too competitive. The compulsion to win and rank up, interferes with other games, and even work, etc. So I basically don't play it at all. So I...

    Strife - 2nd gen MOBA

    there are a few champ specific ways. Alistar heals, Anivia wall are obvious ways to mess with creep waves. Another way to build a larger wall is to run past your creep wave. draw aggro from the opposing wave, run to the side. The creeps will follow you, delaying their fighting. You can...

    Strife - 2nd gen MOBA

    not really an engine limitation. More like... feature. An emergent tactic from an rarely used feature. Akin to rocket jumping or z strafing in Quake. An oddity of the physics engine, that was very useful. and even fun. None of which are very intuitive. Rocket jumping I will defend...
