I have a story on the other end of the spectrum. Since I started EQ1 kind of late (on Quellious), all the people I knew RL who played were already max level and playing around in their respective guilds and those guilds weren't about to take a lvl 1. Fortunately we all played at a LAN store...

Hell, I've forgotten details and have had to endure friends dropping nerd-bombs on me quite a few times. I found the books enjoyable but it seems pretty easy to miss a lot of the details if you only read through them once, and I'm not sure I'm ever going to read through them again. I also...

Only Astro would bitch about the taste of free pizza.

Most people assume that since no one wants to invade in order to topple the regime and give them food directly, and that since giving them billions of dollars in food aid as things stand will do nothing in regard to winning the North Koreans over since the Regime will in all likelihood lie about...

I agree with the first quote, but I think the first quote also goes some way towards why I disagree with the second quote. Performance is still an issue across the board and even people who build super-rigs are going to see a performance drop most of the time; it's unavoidable. Also, in...

Long pointless derail I guess, now that I looked at what I typed.

I don't remember who your husband is on here, but I have this mental picture of you two reading this thread together, laughing, and saying"Thank God that's not us. Oh look at the time, we're late for sex again. Damn you Rerolled!"

Don't take this the wrong way but get into therapy, you and her both. I say this as someone whose own family was and still is to a degree batshit insane. It doesn't sound like she WANTS to be a bitch to you and drive you away, so the next step is to figure out exactly what is going on and...

Like most things of this sort with EQ2, there is a lot of variation between individuals. I'd randomly log in and be forced into using streaming when I already had the full client installed. As far as "what is wrong with streaming", it's slow. Even with an average connection you have the wait...

I agree in principle but I'd probably like to go much further myself.

It isn't surprising though. Their patcher service is terrible; every time I ever had to DL patches or new content it would either try to download an entirely new client, or make me stream. A number of times I wouldn't be able to play for a day or two because I would have to search for other...

Personally I don't think it is black and white, and there is a number of games that populate this odd grey area in the middle. Games that aren't completely terrible, but games that aren't probably what they should be either. AoC was one and I played it twice, but I can see why other people...

I agree with this, but I think it is even more remarkable when you consider that CCP is far from perfect and that they've had their own trainwrecks. But you have to give them credit for still taking some chances on game design and thinking outside of the box, even if they have shit themselves...

Even much later when I did mine it was a PITA still. There were still people fighting over drops, particularly in Temple, for quite a while. I may be remembering a combination of both VT parts and Emp key parts that had to both be farmed out of Temple, but regardless it sucked dick. By the...

I want to apologize to everyone who had to put up with my IRC rant sessions. I don't know why they started hitting a nerve like they were, but it's probably a good thing to step away from S2. The randomness in a competitive setting was probably the bulk of it, as when I played TT it was pretty...

A famine discussion isn't what I expected when I saw that there were new posts.

Last I knew it was probably AB, but someone else might be able to tell you better.

Yes and no. The amount of CRAM you would need to shield SK from the massive amount of arty that NK can throw would border upon the impossible. Even when I was in Iraq, CRAM wasn't nearly 100% and rounds still would get through - and this was by lackluster strikes from insurgents who often would...

I'm sorry Aleksei but I keep reading your posts in this voice, lol.

Whether they were successful or not is arguable as it's largely subjective, but it isn't a mystery that WoW and EQ2 share many of the same design traits. From soloable content starting at level 1, less content teiring and character power "resets" at certain points, to expanded combat systems...

EQ2 is really amazingly similar to WoW on a number of levels when you get right down to it. Both EQ2 and WoW addressed what each thought were failings with EQ1 and tried to make a "better" game. And they both didn't just try to improve upon EQ1 because they were bored and had millions of...

You've made more than enough posts about this already, if anyone out there will be interested then they'll PM you. At this point you're just being fucking annoying.

Honestly, I've wondered if they could have kept swinging if she was more confident in herself and didn't take it as a sign (I'm guessing here) that there must be something wrong with her, or something she she wasn't doing, that was the root cause of her husband wanting to swing. As in,"It's my...

It is odd that some of those made it into EQ2 but not EQ1. The ones I can think of though (like Loping Plains and the Miraguls instances/raid) didn't come out at release, so I do kind of wonder how much work if any was done at the time, or if they did nothing at all until they started on those...

A couple I know got into swinging a bit and it sounded kind of hit and miss. They're both more open about sex than most but I still nearly choked when I'm at lunch with the wife and she tells me about it. I gather it was more the husbands idea and she told him she didn't have a problem with...

When you say "drop the ceiling" what are you thinking of exactly? Like, a simple grid ceiling with acoustic tile, or are you talking about framing/furring it down and doing drywall? A drop ceiling doesn't look hard, but it's easy to have it buckle or be out of level and look like shit...

Funkor, I'll be in IRC tonight and probably through the weekend sporadically.

That's moving in the right direction, but I'm not sure if they couldn't have, shouldn't have, loosened it up more. Only SOE thought that their F2P scheme was worth shit, everyone else openly mocked it (much like most things to do with EQ2 within the last several years).

This was one of the first things I thought about after talking about it in IRC and watching the countdown. I'm not the kickstarter type, but if I were I wouldn't donate to that. I'd save whatever donation to give to some penniless up and comer with a good idea and difficulty finding investment...

FWIW, I think many/most MMOs are heading in this direction anyways. I'm sure I'm not the only one that can name raids within even the last few years that fit the bill perfectly. It's also part of the reason that I came to hate raiding (though far from the only reason).

Read through Shingeki no Kyojin, definitely had mixed feelings on that one. It was almost painful for me to get into at all. I thought the earlier art was often terrible (it did get a bit better later on), and I had to force myself to keep reading past the first 3 or 4 chapters. I didn't find...

I apologize in advance for the inevitable reposts and doubles.

Man, sorry about your thread, Picasso.

We were poking fun at you when you posted that in the MMA thread, I thought you kinda looked like the guy from Sling Blade in that pic. Wasn't that from when you talked about Buddy Clinton or whoever? Best I can figure it, Andys left the PGT up or something and his wife saw it. This was...

I can't remember if the first pic was from here or FOH, or who posted, but I do remember them saying is was a bear's hand and me thinking "You sir are completely full of shit". It probably is but whatevs.
