    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    If they want to increase the amount of players who stick around, a TSS start is the way to go. The population has several major die-off points and the biggest is the level 70 era. GoD is another one, but a lot of that is having LDoN as a lead-in, and GoD->OoW itself is a decent era. However...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Torrent dissipates if you press L3 down, which is very easy to do. Before I realized this, he would often poof at really inopportune moments and I didn't know what was going on. As for the ferryman boss, just play aggressively and stay close to him, wait for his big slam attack and dodge around...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I never had much trouble with Kalameet considering how often I see him mentioned like this. His breath attacks in particular leave him wide open for melee damage. Malenia is definitely the fight I had the most trouble with in ER, followed by Radahn. I'd put it up there with Orphan for sure...

    Ms. Marvel

    I know Kamala Khan pre-dates anybody knowing who Kamala Harris is, but I expect a lot of people will think Marvel named her after Harris. Hell I bet a lot of people think Harris is a Muslim. Nobody even seems to know she's half Indian. Maybe this'll help prop her up over that big goal of...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    Oh, I think Kingdom of Sky was what I saw, not Desert of Flames. Or maybe it was both. I think Kunark was also out cause I was an iksar. I think Echoes of Faydwer had either just come out or was about to.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Is this game ever gonna get a TLP? Does it even need a TLP? Seems like it has a ton of players, and you only really need a TLP once population dwindles to the point that people aren't doing mid-game content.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I need to revise my Kerafyrm event server idea a bit. Would the Sleeper even be killable in Velious-era? Probably if you threw 600 bodies at it and chain rezzed but that'd be kinda dumb. I guess make the Kerafyrm server lock at Luclin or PoP? Only major thing about this server is that the...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    Hmm, maybe I should finally go back and finish Nuka-World in Fallout 4 and get my damn 100%. I've got one of those awkward "platinum with 91%" situations going on. Same thing happened with Uncharted 2 on PS4, it's a plat with like 88% or something because they added a set of extra side-trophies...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Just occurred to me. With the new level squish, 60 is the max level as of Shadowlands. If it continues going up by ten levels per expansion, then four more expansions (what that guy predicted) will put the level cap at exactly 100 for the final expansion. I feel like this is too perfect to be a...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    TBH I'm sort of tempted to do this instead of the EQ1 TLP this year, unless the EQ1 TLP has an amazing ruleset. Time is my worst enemy, like I can do a launch but I usually fall off after a couple weeks because I barely have time to play my 1P games at the rate I want to IRL. So I don't know...

    Oh, they showed a RIP picture? I started streaming it right at the start of the signature (Then/Now/Forever montage) so that explains why I didn't see anything. Then to have the announcers not mention it either made things pretty weird. I remember this pretty vividly, as I was mid-puberty at...

    Sports Card Collecting.

    Just want to mention that I had a huge basketball card collection as a kid (from the 1990-1994 span of time specifically). I mean flawless mint-condition cards for all kinds of guys, tons of cards for the Dream Team members specifically, etc. ...and I haven't been able to find it for the last...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Just knocked off the Gelmir Hero's Tomb. Was easier than I thought, just go in the lava to the end and the boss door is shortly after the drop-down. Level 217 here, climbing towards my 255 goal while I look for whatever scraps are left in NG that I missed. I should probably just start NG+ already...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    22.5 points. CHEATER! I'm actually okay with rounding up, whenever I do one of these and set the rules. Yeah, there's a friend of mine who could be demolishing all of us in this challenge because he has this epidemic of getting to the final boss, or final stage, of games and just giving up...

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

    Huh. All this time I thought it was a port/remaster of the existing saga. They're using parts of ep 1-7 that didn't make it into those games? That's...huh. Pretty much all the major setpieces made it into those games, so if this is only covering the uncovered parts, it isn't gonna have much to...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    GoD is pretty damn good as an expansion, but a GoD start doesn't make much sense. If they're going to do a late-start TLP and have it be a new experience for most people, it should really be TSS. That's the start of the modern game, and the only expac post-Luclin to have content for all levels...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    The secret is that I'm not actually playing most of these things all the way through, I'm finishing them off. For example I did like half of my Elden Ring playing (at least) in February, Breath of Fire 4 is a 40-something hour game but I only had like the last 10 hours to do, etc. I really do...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I agree. I had no less than 8 or 9 respec fetuses (or whatever they are) after I beat the game, and I think I've used up half of them already trying different builds and that's with me playing sporadically / switching builds minimally. It should just be unlimited.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, I care much more about open world fighting than I do about endgame raid metas, so warlock is probably fine. Intredasting. Now that I think about it, I used to play a game called Terris (think it's Legends of Terris now) that also had quite a bit in common with EQ despite being a text...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I haven't had a GF in a couple years, otherwise I'd be totally neutered on these backlog challenges. I don't think I've ever had a GF who actually knew how to let me have personal space for an entire 24 hour span without freaking out and wanting to come over. Which is how I built up this huge...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    How do you ride the chariot, just jump on it? lul, when I was here earlier in the game and noped out, at one point I summoned two other players at the beginning or wherever, and then the FIRST CHARIOT we saw instantly killed both of them because they just stood out in the middle of the lava...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Hitting Gelmir Hero's Grave now and the chariots are some BS. Apparently the very first area (if you return to it via the towers on that hill) also has chariots in it and there's more to it. I already used up the key for that on a different tower though. I once dated a girl who told me she was...

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

    I'm pretty sure it's a remaster of the 7 existing Lego Star Wars movie episodes, with 8 and 9 added on. The trailers are all shots I recognize from the other games.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    You can spawn the dual bosses in Redmane by talking to the caster-looking dude in the tower until he says he's moving on, then warp back to the grace point. Suddenly the room that the NPCs were gathered in will have a fog door on it and you can fight the dual bosses. They drop a legendary weapon...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Anyone know offhand what dungeon it is that has the lava ramps and the chariots? I think that's the only dungeon I found in the game that I didn't go back and finish, so I have to do that. Watched a boss list and the only one I didn't recognize was a pair of those giant spinning mech things, so...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    Finished Ikaruga on Switch. It's a shooter that was highly-acclaimed so I plunked down $15 for it a while back, not something I normally do for an unknown, but it seemed decent enough. Turned out it's obscenely difficult and I could never get into it, though I chipped at it for a while to try...

    Went to farm some rune arcs from rats in the Earth cave, with 110 discovery and the silver fowl buff. 45 minutes later and I had like...3. I wanted to get to 5 or 10 but I couldn't stand it anymore and quit out. I thought rats dropped them like candy, what gives? On the flipside I don't really...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It never ceases to amaze me how much WoW ripped off of EQ without getting sued, or even anybody really noticing. I mean they came out with a purple crystal zone called Heart of Fear at the same time that EQ's endzone was a purple crystal zone called Heart of Fear. Pretty much all the druid...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I know Shadowlands is subpar and all that but I'd like to check it out some time in the next couple months, if only to blow through the leveling content. Three classes I'm considering, how are they doing at this point? Arcane Mage - Think this is the BFA character I got to max level anyway...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This actually sounds like it might be pretty accurate. The Void Lords were always the endgame and they're overdue for a dragon-centric expansion and more elemental planes. Aren't there still 2 or 3 other Old Gods still out there too? Like N'Zoth showed up, but none of the others. So 12.0 will...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I used the quit-out screen as basically an FD in this game. One of the reasons I was able to get through it fairly quickly was because I sometimes would outrun mobs and then quit out at a boss door or whatnot to FD them off, didn't actually fight my way through a lot of places unless I needed...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Probably about 80% of the stuff I missed was in Limgrave and Caelid, aka the earliest places I went through, so chances are I didn't get thorough until Liurnia onward. I think for the most part I was just trying to stay alive at the beginning, and was so absorbed with beating Castle Morne that I...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    Lul, first thing I did back in this game was die on like, the first room. I think the difficulty might be a little higher than the very beginning since I did a bunch of cycles (up to or near Phreke) in the past. I don't remember the first room with enemies having like 7 mobs in it. It's gonna be...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I don't get it either. There's nothing interesting about watching a video where someone just warps past 98% of a game. Like "who can fall through the floor at the beginning of Mario 64 and drop into Bowser's room fastest" isn't an interesting speedrun to me. I'd much rather see people...

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

    It looks like you need to play through the trilogies in order? So you choose either 1, 4, or 7 to start and go from there. I hope this isn't actually the case, because I beat 7 not too long ago and have like zero desire to play it again, just wanted to get to the new content (8 and 9 have never...

    RIP. I tuned in to Raw to see what kind of tribute (or well-wishes if they didn't know his status yet) would open the show, and...nothing. Not even a mention by the announcers, zilch. This is like bizarro world, since when did they just ignore such a major passing?

    That's incredible, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's like the One Winged Angel. Nobody has ever kicked out of it (except the one obscure time it happened but we've retconned that out, shh) and if Omega isn't winning a match, he just doesn't get to do it. So there's always the sense that he could...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Was on my way to that cave in south Limgrave to farm some rats, and along the way I discovered FIVE other locations that I missed until now. Two dungeons, a tower with a Memory Stone, some ruins, and an open-world boss arena. This game really is something else. I've played games before where...
