    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    So what's the point of using destructible environment as a selling point of the new engine when they limit it to "strategic" use. What's the difference between destructibles in DA:I and DA:O when they're pre-selected and placed by the devs? Nothing besides the engine you're pressing 'A' in...

    Video Game Symphony

    I had a feeling someone would mention Chrono Trigger, but didn't know what they would suggest since I've never played the game. I've seen the Smooth McGroove (or something similar) before, so I know at lot of the older MIDI/polyphonic stuff would be convertible with a choral group. Other than...

    Video Game Symphony

    So I couldn't find the old gaming music thread to look around in (or maybe I'm misremembering the biggest gaming moment thread), but our local symphony conductor does a lot of "pop" concerts in addition to the classics and the normal visiting artist/guest conductor concerts. He hasn't done...

    DOTA 2

    I understand it's to be expected that after 6.79 the game would have gotten shaken up, but I think there must have been a massive chemical attack on the east coast. It seems like the average IQ of the public queue has dropped significantly -- beyond mouth breathing levels. I'm almost at the...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    You're spot on. At the start he has very strong push on how good the "expansion" is. However, towards the end it was clear to me he lost his energy in trying to sell the product and opens up some of his non-filtered observations that do nudge the product as something that should have been...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I feel like this video justified my comments about this being an overpriced DLC of features that should have mostly been in from the start. He almost says as much himself at several points. Yet I get neg'd for it. Well hah! I'm not alone, bitches (although I'd be more positive too if it...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    You are the source of problems in modern gaming culture.

    DOTA 2

    I just don't get some of these changes though. I understand tranqs are a small part of the game, but it seems like the whole patch was focused more on killing smart-dota than it was "shake up". What's the point of taking out points of flexibility and adaptability on top of punishing aggressive...

    Gun control

    This is spot on. The framers had portrayed a pretty specific idea of the power of the individual/minimalist government. Empower the individual so when times of duress arise they can come together to create a stronger solution together; whether it were an invading nation or wide spread famine...

    DOTA 2

    Out of everything that got patched, the thing that pisses me off the most is not being able to deconstruct my Tranquil Boots as WR/Rub/Nec. Such bullshit.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    If by crap you mean the 'meaningless "gameplay" added in and misnomer in the description therein', sure. Out of the hundreds of critic videos out there, this one had very little 'bite' to it -- especially considering all of BioWare's "crap" in game development. In reality it was a pretty weak...

    Mount & Blade - A Clash of Kings 2.0 Releasing March 28th!

    I enjoyed TLD because it did feel like another game, unlike ACOK. It lacks some of the funner features of POP/ACOK like enlisting etc, but it is very playable however the custom maps do crash and crash hard at times.

    Mount & Blade - A Clash of Kings 2.0 Releasing March 28th!

    I've been playing ACOK a lot for the past month with no issues. Are you sure it's not a driver issue? My only complaint is that "The Last Days" figured out a lot of features in MB that I think ACOK could use in Warband. I saw wargs, trolls, and goblins -- I want to see direwolves, Gregor...

    Washington D.C.

    Crystal City has rooms ~140 if you book early. Cheaper if you're a member of the various hotel reward programs. I'm back here again and find myself enjoying another great pizza and beer at District of Pi.

    World War Z

    I'm with Sutekh. A good director/screen writer could do a great WWZ film with no effort what so ever. Mix and mash District 9/Reservoir Dogs/The Nines/any mockumentary or multiviewpoint film and bam you have a great WWZ movie that maintains the spirit and vision of the book. Some chapters...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Dio, there are significant changes in the game engines between TES games on top of the delay between iterations. Even if it were a valid comparison, it would be a case that the devs don't mind giving you their tools because they already know they will always have better tools and the bigger sand...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Why provide the tools necessary to provide future competition to the franchise? Initial gain is negligible when they fail to sell copies of BF5/2143 because BF4 gave the community everything they needed to make their own games for the next 3-5 years.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Purchased JA:BIA around a week or twi prior to EU release.. comparatively they are the same class of game. Even as an older outdated and buggy game, BIA has far more depth and control than EU. Then looking at mod support, you have leaps and bounds difference in value. EU unknown is a great...

    Overpriced for features that should have been fleshed out in the main box. :/

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Is it just me, or is it really sad that a mod using the BF2 engine has more advanced features than BF3/4?

    DOTA 2

    Mayhaps. For those of you still struggling with the game, and interesting alternative to learning besides the small pool is to watch: Dota2 - Fails of the Week (alternatively, Top Plays of the Week) // Dota2 -Did You Know? on Youtube.com .

    Godzilla (2014)

    1998 Godzilla for life. It was goofy, campy, and just plain fun to watch - it even kick started a cartoon series that wasn't horrible. You guys are whack band-wagoners.

    I think in the pubbie realm the consensus is BR is fine, just get vision. But for all that is holy nerf Huskar -- blood too stronk.

    Total War series

    In almost every single dev diary they said they were talking about putting more into R2 than anything previously. This happens when you shoot for the moon but you don't actually put in the table time to plan it all out and then war game it for holes. I completely agree with the depth and...

    Total War series

    Isn't that the point though... to get us off thinking on the city side and more of the provincial? Shifting between military production/cultural hub to economical/grain basket seems to be what works the best as Rome.

    IIRC there was a big to do about how great they were in RE4 on the FoH forums where they initiated the complete change of genre on the main title games.

    DOTA 2

    Looks like the ball is slowly rolling, but rolling. I've been pushing the announcement in the channel every now and then, but I need others to be doing the same so we can get more people consolidated for the draft. We have a split between the channel and the boards, but am I missing anything...

    Desktop Computers

    Looking at doing a mid level/budget gaming pc soon. Thinking i5 / GTX 670 then playing around from there. This is going to be a completely new build so no harvesting from prior PCs, but I wanted to know what pieces you would splurge on vs go price shopping on. I know everyone is encouraging...

    The Division

    The question comes to mind though. Even with this at risk of being a port - is that really a negative yet since we're looking at an entirely new generation of consoles? I haven't upgraded my gaming PC in 5ish years, so the next gen are going to be more powerful than what I currently have access...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    After getting burned by DA2/ME3 and watching Bioware shit all over their fans both times, I'm sitting this one out like I did with the ME3 DLC. If I get DA3, it'll be a GOTY edition with all the DLC. Best wishes that they pull their act together and deliver a game and a healthy piece of...

    DOTA 2

    I assumed that we had more players on the forum than in game, but shows what I know - eh? Okay I'm asking for some help here in getting word out for the in-house gaming so we can get pre-tourny tryouts/community building going on. Due to my own schedule and wanting to make sure I can assist...

    DOTA 2

    Having the option to requeue and escape trolls increases the number of "good" games. Turn arounds still happened in HoN all the time -- I held my team hostage plenty of times trying to carry (that's why there was a timer). However no one is going to turn a game around from rage feeders or...

    DOTA 2

    Based off the wikidoc we have ~50 players, so it shouldn't be that difficult to get 6-10 teams going if we get a healthy interest going.

    DOTA 2

    That's what I realized when I started thinking about the W/E divider. I was thinking rolling everyone into simply East and West, but I think That would leave West with 1-2 teams and 4-5 on E. I'm liking the idea about taking set captains and having them draft teams, but I want to see everyone...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, but still annoying that with as many troll games that go on there's no way to put a forfeit up for vote. Had a SkeleK hold 9 players hostage until the team he was continually feeding could push through mid and end game for us. That and I wish Harkon's Blade, Lightbrand/Searing Light...

    DOTA 2

    Now that lobbies appear to be functional and in the client, we have the ability to start corralling RR players together. So with TI3 barely behind us I wanted to gauge the interest in an in house tournament. We can come up with a snazzy tournament title and maybe some prizes/titles? later...
