    yeah, they don't ban if you did it 4-5 times. They ban when you do it 50-1000 times.

    Guild Wars 2

    end game crafting recipes not using low teir materials seems like a GIANT oversight to me. (except for cooking of course, which does) Crafting Dusk should require you to farm the shadow behemoth or something. If the major bosses of a zone required DE's being pushed to spawn them, you...

    Gun control

    What they do and what they are supposed to do, is not the same. Hence we get that vid of the cop shooting himself in that classroom. My neighbor that shot off 3 fingers of his hand, duck hunting. VP Cheney shooting his friend in the face.. hrm, there is no drunk carry law is there? Edit...

    Gun control

    I wouldn't. I assume you have fired a gun. would you feel safe with anyone, civilian, or even a cop firing within a panicked crowd, in the smoke? I sure as hell wouldn't. How many people would get hit by friendly fire in that situation? Look at the military and how often they have...

    Gun control

    yeah, that Dark Knight theater shooting, or civilians with guns on planes, are two examples of, would have just made things worse. We don't really want MORE civilians armed. But at the same time, taking away the right of those that are, is a mistake imho. It is simply addressing a problem...

    Gun control

    Basically what a number of us have been pointing out. Raw overall stats don't mean much. you can't compare US to Australia or anything. you need to consider population density, poverty levels, and etc. I mean, if you cut Detroit, DC, LA, Louisiana, and Alabama out of the US average, the US...

    Random world doesn't make a rogue-like. I mean, are those princess maker, or whatever they are called roguelikes? Those text adventure games, you know. (not entirely sure the genre name for those) Click on a location, get random encounter. It has more in common with them. The fuel is...

    FTL is a roguelike? I dont think I understood that when I heard people talking about it. Will definitely check that out.

    Took some time to check back in on this. Its come a good ways since I lasted played it a few months ago. Still not DF yet, but its pretty far along the path now. its a pretty solid game in its own right atm. I would definitely recommend checking it out currently. A number of vids if you...

    Guild Wars 2

    That guildcast vid is very much correct on the end game outdoor pve be a large disappointment. Just like Rift, they seemed to completely fail at really taking advantage of that DE, or Rifts on a large scale. Guildcast nailed it, in saying, it should have required team work. Guilds...

    Guild Wars 2

    I was not aware you can't transmute them. are you sure of that? The blacklion isn't to bad. yeah its a rng. however, you CAN get keys in game. Pretty frequently via map complete. at level 10, 31, and 50 personal story completion as well. very rare random drop, and small chance on daily.

    Ultima Online - IPY3 release 2013

    this is the problem. a good full pvp system will have strong checks and balances. Jackasses don't like checks and balances. Safe zones and shit is of course the easy way. And certainly kindof cheesy. An ideal game would have reasons for older players to want to defend lower players. New...

    Guild Wars 2

    yeah, the gem store seems to be underwhelming. I want to be able to spend some cash in it, to have some cool costumes, pets, whatever.. You don't have a RNG in LoL when buying skins for a champ. And you can actually see the skins for the champ. I'm not really sure what they were thinking...

    wow that video is retarded. My brain hurts having watched it.

    Well, now what?

    Yeah, there is still a massive gap between pnp, and any pc rpg. Player generated content has some potential though. Minecraft, terraria, etc. Even city of heroes.

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    I just got around to catching up on a few. Year one, All star, and Doom. None are as good as Under the Red Hood. Which is easily my favorite. Year1 and Doom are ok. Decent watches. Year 1, I didn't like the VA much. Not a fan of Millars,"is she female? y/n, if Y, then she is a whore"...

    Well, now what?

    game simply has to be designed with the death penalty in mind from the get go. it impacts every single gameplay and social mechanic possible. You can't possibly shoehorn perma death into wow. or exp loss, or item. Think about how those systems work in WoW. Exp loss. ok. But then you hit...

    Well, now what?

    I've mentioned before, when I talk mmo design, I kindof imagine 2-3 very distinct mmos. We often talk past each other, as if there is only 1 mmo that should be made. when really there should be several, radically different designed ones. Its bit weird we never talk about the browers ones at...

    Well, now what?

    That is a very interesting point. And something that I think needs to apply to WvW in those games. I'm not sure how we could make being a spectator/fan in a raid environment. But being a spectator/fan in a WvW, absolutely. In gw2 we can even see it occurring, when we would do those jumping...

    Well, now what?

    yeah, there is some weird stuff going on here. etchazz. "wow is easy, because you die alot. EQ is hard because you don't want to die" Really think about what you are saying there. Death penalties don't make the game harder, they just make you a coward. I fail to see how that is fun at...

    Most jobs in similar situations do not have the training costs. A high IQ person applying to mcdonalds, does not have 20k of firearms training. And people do get passed over, for being clearly overqualified all the time, in other jobs. Also, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to...

    Guild Wars 2

    Comparing GW2 to ToR... I just don't even know... Keep chasing that dragon. You will never catch it. I'm not going to say GW2 is perfect. there are clearly missteps. but its still a HUGE leap forward, when most other mmos are taking steps backwards.

    yeah, know. we all want to say, but our games!? and we turned out fine.. Zelda, mario, street fighter, etc. later doom. our games, were not 95% Call of Duty clones. Same when you talk about Japan and their crime rates. The FPS is not remotely as big over there, as here. Can you...

    Does Goliath still have a penis?

    well, some obviously go through a glam phase. "omg IM a Gurl, and I can wear all the stuff I've wanted too". its like they are a 19yr old, the first time on their own. however, its pretty obviously when even the normal ones would go a bit overboard. As you say, a "real" woman is sexy...
