    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Schadenfreude. Which is pretty much what this thread has been about since the first post! Oh, and EQ in a browser. Make that happen Brad. Tyen has already done most of the work, you can steal it off him and sell it. Just like the good old days!

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It's Intelligent Design for agnostics. By itself not a stupid thing to think or a wrong thing to think. There is truly wonder and magic in the world -- it persists despite our best efforts to eradicate it. Something is fuckinggoing on. And if the idea stops there, as a testimony of wonder...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It strikes me as some backwards thinking. Literally, not in the insulting you fuck your sister way. The simulation tool works because it mimics the reality it describes? Astounding. You've found God, I guess. No need to keep looking. It's taking out all of the millions of progressive...

    House of Cards

    They decided to tell a story about how a Congressman backdoors his way into the Presidency. They had 2 seasons to do that. Don't forget the nature of their production deal. If that's really the main complaint I entirely agree. S2 would have been better if they'd been able to pace it over...

    You just have to accept the premise. I agree it skirts melodrama but that doesn't bother me. A show like this is going to skirt it. Political dramaissoap opera for men. I think I said it in this very thread, months ago, and remarked that they managed to avoid the worst parts of it...

    It's a good question, but it does. CoH had it in their beta (they switched it over the a breakout mechanic). DCUO had it in their beta (they switched over to a breakout mechanic). It seems like games that try for a more arcade type feel (CoH at the time was arcade-y) go for this idea...

    Oh. That explains it. It's a real problem with class balance. Yeah, warriors only get that 1 interrupt on a long cooldown. Espers are the same way, but espers can self-heal and range where warriors can't self-heal and have to block the 1st telegraph tick with their face. You get wildly...

    Robocop - Remake

    Why are you shitting on dance training? A man who knows how to dance gets the girls. And if he doesn't want the girls then JAZZ HANDS. I like the redlettermedia Robocop review. They didn't even watch it, they just reviewed robocop and robocop2 and then said "there is no possible way...

    Yeah. It's not "don't stand in the fire: the game" its "wait for the mobs to put the fire down so that you can pewpew them". It's kinda goofy. Up at higher levels mobs that don't telegraph as often are actually harder (take longer) than the mobs that try to telegraph your face in. They...

    Compared to what though? Game of Cosplay? This last season of Boardwalk Empire? All seasons of Breaking Bad except for season 4? It's easily better than any one of those. It's on par with Mad Men, for my dollar. S4 Breaking Bad, S1+2 Boardwalk Empire, and... well, every season of Mad Men...

    Legal Threats of the Psychotic Persuasion

    This sounds a lot like a not-an-actual-problem, tbh. He's claiming some stolen clothes? That's it? He's going to take you to court for a few hundred dollars? And he's gonna walk into small claims court with a lawyer? Do you really think he's gonna do any of that shit? And even if he...

    Yeah, a whole shitload of apple placement. But it's not distracting at least, and it makes plenty of sense within the context of the show. Since they're gonna be using computers and phones anyway they might as well make money off someone who says, "Hey. Use OURS."

    It's sort of a problem that the one really new thing they're offering is warplots. That has the potential to be awesome. It does. No foolin. Unfortunately their pvp is balls terrible. It's just atrociously bad. But here's the real kick, they're 40v40 player crafted pvp zones and... the...

    7, 8, and 9 are pretty wtf. The antibiotics question itself, just to phrase the question that way, displays a subtle ignorance. For a science literacy test I don't think you should write such lazy questions. Same thing for the fathers gene question, but that one is more forgivable. And...

    There are 3 things in particular where the decisions they're making are so obviously bad ideas that they will be repealed in the 1st live patch that they do. It's not that they lack experience... you can see that these guys have, if not played them, at least done substantial research of every...

    Draegon got mad at people direct linking to beta board threads. Really sabbat is right. The only way you can much break the NDA is to either start analyzing the math of the various systems (and some of that is straight fucked up), or by posting walkthroughs of 5man content. Why would you do...

    Gay Frank served a good purpose though. It humanizes him as well as showing that he doesn't give a shit, he truly does not give a shit, about "the rules". It's one of those rare configurations where sucking cock serves to make him even more manly. Well done, I say. Fuckin fag.

    The problem with Vanguard launch was that the word DID get out, not that it didn't. This really was the last chance. Brad just needs to make EQ in a browser with Tyen at this point. There's some money in that, and pulling the strings to get it so that Sony won't sue his ass off is...

    They'll easily make their money back + some. "WoW killer" is not in the cards. Too much feature creep and too much design by focus group. But it'll be worth the price of the box, so they've already beat the past 3 years of MMO releases. Wow Killer is never in the cards for any of these...
