Give it 8 more months guys...and the doors will actually open!

Not quoting all of your stuff but.. EQ also had immersion breaking features. They had 3rd person. Some short fights. weak mobs datamining instances PvE that is gated easy travel thru ports, J-boots, etc bad graphics falling thru the world camping of mobs mobs appearing out of nowhere trains of...

I didn't mean to shit on Wilson. He is definitely most of their offense this year and has elevated a good game into a really great game. At the same time, one man isn;t going to beat you unless you suck. The Dolphins aren't going to beat a really good team. It was more of an indictment of...

Russell is a top 10 QB but I also think people forget how good the tools he's had are. Baldwin is really good, Marshawn was the best safety blanket ever, Tate was really good, and they've had an elite defense to lean on especially during his first few years. He's definitely come into his own and...

With all the injuries I thought it wouldn't be nearly as competitive much less you guys deserving to win. Lots of mistakes especially from Petey. It can't make Atlanta feel good though. Reminds me of the Atlanta loss to the Phins honestly. Something there stinks.

As a Dolphins fan, I know your pain.

The refs are one of the primary reasons I don't watch much ball anymore. The Dolphins were robbed an obvious safety Sunday and every team has at least 2-3 stories of refs fucking them over this year already. It's hard enough to compete against other top athletes but the refs can utterly fuck a...

Yeah, I'm sure you are right. They are busy designing the next set usually but their quality testers are either dropping the ball or just don't have the time and resources needed. I wonder how many they have testing these sets? I didn't mind broken or meta warping cards as much when the game was...

As long as someone from the NFC can beat them, it's all good.

For the QBs mentioned, these concerns were legitimate. Newton has always had accuracy issues. Winston had int and maturity issues(still went #1). Kaep's only good year in the pocket was with QB guru Kelly. Kelly made Folk look amazing and Sanchez decent at times. Guy could work with anything...

I just don't see it. Sure, even up thru the 90s but Michael Vick was the top pick in 2001. Opportunities in college were limited and the position has been the most important and hardest to get right for over 3 decades. Show me the absolutely amazing black QBs given less chances since Vick. I...

Felipe Rios has just asked all 32 NFL owners to collude for Peterman. This man must start and he must start against the Chargers every week! Rivers's 487 children need a father who can support them into his 50s.

Damn! Saints tied it up!. Sorry, Merrith but hoping Saints win this thing. Hell of a game either way

Excellent post about those early days. It was fun! It can't be replicated today. This is one of our primary arguments. How do you reinvent shitty internet, no walk throughs, piss poor video cards, a new design philosophy no one has seen yet? Now, do you think Pantheon will be that game? Not one...

So...at what point did you actually learn how to play your class? I remember the primary chanter spells coming at the beginning so you wouldn't be a worthless liability to your group? I mean chanters had it hard. No one ever wanted them in their groups, They provided shit spells, and they had to...

In August they said the game was making $40 million a month. They have a team of 47 developers. We still see stuff like Bonemare, Kelesith, etc. They finally took DKs out of arena. What exactly are the 47 doing during development if they aren't testing? I spent about $130 by Gadgetzan. If I get...

I agree with a lot of that. As I said before, many people, including me, are tired of WoW shit and are willing to give this a try. Some of the rose tinted convos though are completely wrong or outdated after the first 6-12 months of EQ. People are describing EQ at it's absolute best, without...

Once again, you must have been in some shit groups.

Watching with wife tomorrow because she doesn't think Thor would be better and loves Momoa way too much. So...buying Thor for Christmas to encourage better film making and eventually get the taste out of my mouth? Not excited.

Yeah, so the early part of the game was by far the hardest. Pretty poor game design. Just get through our artificial level blocks, get to 40, and once we actually make some endgame content...it will be pretty damn easy. Amazing game indeed. Every game made in this industry has resource...

I miss this too but I don't it's ever coming back. Two of the classes that abused creator content the most were the bard and necro. Neither is in this game yet and may never be added. We talk about emergent gameplay but developers hate it. It limits their future options. It may prevent them from...

Great post. The worst part are the people who couldn't have played as much because they somehow didn't notice all the problems? The bugs like falling through the world, shitty pathing, unfinished quest lines, empty areas where development couldn't keep up with player leveling, etc. Many of these...

Impossible. They've had four 11+ win seasons since 1953. In comparison. the Jags were formed in 1995 and have three 11+ win seasons and Cincy has three since 2005. No one Browns like the Browns.

Yeah, I'm glad Miller kept Zona flying after Olson. Landscape wouldn't have been the same without them. We just need to keep feeding Coack K young virgins for the next 30 years and i'm good.

DUUUUKKKKEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Rezz's post didn't seem to sink in. EQ had 38% retention in the first few years, followed by the game completely hemorrhaging subs to the point they hid numbers. That is piss poor retention overall. Even at it's best, it did not meet WoW's first six years. WoW, first SIX years had massive...

I can somewhat agree with these parts even though everyone was out to make money. Do you think Brad snorted thousands of dollars into his nose because he was trying to save the industry? Or make better games? Blizzard just did a better job than everyone else. We shouldn't blame Blizzard. We...

I think it's pretty easy to tell who had a much larger following cafe accounts or no. That's rather ridiculous. EQ also released at the perfect time when computers still had an advantage over consoles and no one else had the 3D setting like EQ. EQ released with very little true competition and...

Have you read the Malazan books? They are top notch, huge, and plentiful. Also, the Expanse series is solid by Corey. Not epic but great reads were Powder Mage trilogy, James Islington debut, Pierce Brown Red Rising trilogy. Those are the best of what I've read lately.

To add further concrete to your foundation. https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Everquest-die .This gem within; "EverQuest had an unprecedented 450,000 players and was the big beast of the genre. Everyone who played it loved it! However, what they didn't do was account for the 800,000 people who...

But that's not actually true. EQ also had massive attrition and the only reason they tried new things was to get new subs to make up for lost ones. There is a reason EQ never had over maybe 500,000 subs at any given point. There is a reason less than 60,000 play today. There is a reason WoW not...

Sure seems quiet today. Anyway, looks like Dallas didn't need Zeke Ellio....oh, damn! That score! Ummm....nvm...lol....

Bro, I feel for you. As bad as my team has been, they don't self destruct quite like your boys do. Or the way Merrith's Redskins got BTFO by Case Keenum.... Edit- @Daezuel , that's one reason I love the Rams this year. Look like shit in the first half. I go to get some groceries. They pile on...

I couldn't even give SS that. I tried my damn hardest to like it too. I ignored all the feedback considering I like some shitty movies at times. I watched it at home so it didn't cost me a penny. Wasn't going to compare to Marvel and didn't expect the characters to be perfect or great...

Well, Miami has made me a believer again. ND was toasted and the Canes are looking better every week. Clemson is still the better team overall, but now it should be a dogfight. That U defense looks great. Another great week except for Miss St shitting the bed in the 4th.

Looks like he has company today.

I don't know if this has been said but it always brings ummm conversation. Not appropriate for parties or social gatherings. What's the best thing about having sex with 26 year olds? There are 20 of them. Edited- Hoss noted I left out the best part of joke. Thanks Hoss, much better now.

I'll take one whenever. I lost my old version when comp when down.

While true, and while his age has lessened his influence(among other things), I don't think he's wrong here. The only positive for most people about Goodell was his ability to bring in loads of money for the NFL. Now that it's bringing in less while 6-7 drama filled events happen every year...
