    This. If their precedural generation can pull it off, where they have a truly unique world ready to replace the old one? It will be amazing. Each cycle will be like exploring an MMO world for the first time, and all the risks and little discoveries that go with it. Right now in games, exploring...

    hah, I was thinking this; we called it the Dark Moon cycle. It's pretty cool it's being so well received here, we were wondering if people would like an Azure-Dreams type MMO where a cycle of entropy reset your progress, and the worlds, but not your character persistence. Ours worked slightly...

    Crowfall

    This is something I hope they talk about. I'll avoid speculating but it feels kind of disappointing if the alternate worlds are just "battles". Maybe though the whole export thing means that whatever means of accessing or leaving the world requires someone to be in control of a method of travel...

    The problem with scrapping the trinity is that the concept of the trinity is actually the last in a long line of abstractions that depend on each other; changing it is like removing a support frame from your home, do it without altering other stuff and you end up with a pile of shit. If you want...

    Yeah, MB is a good example; but your right, I don't think that could be done in an MMO. However, I think a less complex system of attacks having consequence tied to them, beyond just resource usage, could be done. Right now, the only thing that really governs attacks in most MMO's is resource...

    Yeah, the more I played MMO's the more I realize that it's just such a massive weakness if you're able to figure everything out on a spread sheet. And while, for example, WoW's gear puzzle can be fairly complex, in the end the there is no debate about "what's best"--you can prove it through...

    I've got this one, no issues with it so far. Pure plug and play. Amazon.com: Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller for Windows: Electronics Is yours the name brand? Or generic? I've heard some generics can get fucked with by windows.

    They've said everything right so far for a good return of PvP hardcore sandbox, with great incentives combat. But you know how that goes. Pillow talk is cheap.

    Generally, melee attacks happen in the area in front of the character. There is no hard "target". Attacks use various shapes such as: cones, rectangles, and spheres. You can optionally turn on or off a projected ground texture, if you want to visualize where your character is attacking. I...

    The Flash

    hah, you know, this is exactly what I thought too. "Oh, so 24/7 solitary with no showers or bathroom, without a trial....And flash is a good guy?" And who decides how long they get? Lemonflash.

    The Flash

    To be fair, flash is one of the most difficult characters to write for, I would imagine. His power even with a modicum of imagination makes him retard strong, you almost have to write him like an idiot to have some tension in the show. But it is annoying how at certain points in the season they...

    To be fair, the investors who would ever back a video game are incredibly slim. And by and large they do it not because they want to see a return, but because they are fans and have disposable assets. Video games have that rare combination of a long return horizon, high risk and difficult to...

    Can you even imagine the rage? It might be Internet Ragnarok. (There are two decent vs series on youtube that do something like this. Like Dumbledore vs Gandalf and what not.)

    It was Tulkas which beat him right? Was there a passage that reflected he was weakened when they had their brawl? I only ever skimmed the Similarion in high school, I don't even know if I have the right combatants.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    In a fight, yeah, supposedly any of them could be killed by a stray arrow; Tolkien had a few super elf lords get smoked by goblins if I recall correctly. Power rankings though are fun just to discuss characters, and all the stuff they could do. Hence why every novel eventually has the discussion...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Yeah, maybe; because Tom Bombadil probably could have still kicked his ass if he really was the Dwarf God (I think?) But I don't know, I don't think Galadriel was stronger than him in his "White" form; the "White" wizard was pretty close, supposedly, to a Maiar at full power. In addition to...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    So many things wrong with that list. Gandalf the white, because he had an Elven ring too, was far stronger than Elrond and Galadriel. He even flat out said in the book the only force within the world that could counter him if he used his full strength was the dark lord himself. (But he couldn't...

    American Sniper

    I talked about the Gump thing, and Vietnam mainly because they illustrate how personal bias can warp someone's view; and interpretation can vary wildly from one person to another. Also, this, all of thsi? Isn't propaganda:information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote...

    American Sniper

    Honestly it sounds more like you need to believe this rather than what empirically you'd see around you. I guarantee you the vast majority of Americans think of movies like Platoon, or FMJ, when they think of Vietnam. And there were plenty of movies that focused on the brutality of OUR soldiers...

    American Sniper

    The message of Forrest Gump was that if you think about the hard stuff too much, you'll either get AIDS or lose your legs. Dumar, if you honestly walked away from that movie with this impression? Then anything I type here is going to be futile..But I can't sleep. His views on Gump are...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Disney has already done Star Wars right. Guardians of the Galaxy; it has essentially proven space action and adventure movies are not dead, and in fact, everyone still loves them. It really shows how badly Lucas fucked up if a no name Comic can be made into a better Star Wars than the prequels.

    Yes, even half will make it a great game. Having large randomized land masses (Even if they are somewhat generic) with randomized resources, could allow them to add land as players cement control, always shaking up who owns the best what. (New world spawned with tons of Iron--Iron is super rare...

    American Sniper

    I enjoyed it but overall it wasn't as spectacular as many people are saying. I can see why a lot of people thought it was "meh". All the basic movie stuff was great. Camera work, sets, action scenes--all amazing. The character was fairly interesting. But I think you and Chaos are pretty close to...

    American Sniper

    Yeah, he really is. He's also misinformed about a lot of issues that he supposedly has a problem with. But when you boil down Forest fucking Gump to that insane conclusion, what can you expect? As someone in the notes said; his opening paragraph says all you need to know. "I hated this movie a...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    Yes, it is. Eventually alcoholics, like heroin users, don't even use it to get drunk--they use it just to feel normal. My grandfather was a huge alcoholic, he quit a few years before his death due to medical issues. He was fucked up for a couple weeks, really bad. Sweating, vomiting and the...

    Hobbits are human--they are a race of men (like Asians, but smaller. Not pulling this particular nugget out of my ass like everything else--he notes it in the book). I actually think Joot hits pretty close to the mark in terms of their "symbolism". Hobbits were, quite literally, what turn of the...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    Interesting Neg farming strategy, Bingles. I'm curious to see who gets more, Osiris for shitting on free speech or you for shitting on The Wire. Osiris does have the more reprehensible view, I think. But there is a lot of neg overlap in the General Forums because people neg often in the...

    Western humans are protestants. Elves are Catholics. Both races chosen/created by the main god (Both forms of Christianity), while other races were all created by the "lesser" gods (IE "false" Abraham religions, Pagans, Eastern Religions). Humans in the book rebelled against god for power...

    Fargo

    This I agree with. The main weakness of this compared to the Cohen brothers stuff is that in the Cohen brothers stuff, normal people often end up being pretty intelligent. It was pretty seeing some hicks on the screen in No Country and Fargo and then most of them being rational, logical human...

    The Repopulation

    Agree with what's been posted so far. You can tell these guys loved UO and SWG; game is a mix of those. The framework/rules are pretty amazing, and it's going to be a really deep sandbox. However, game needs a lot of work to become well tuned. Engine is poorly optimized, lots of quirks that...

    Well, I thought the first teaser to Guardians seemed meh too...and I was totally wrong. So, willing to stay cautiously optimistic, but going to have to agree--that seemed DC levels of not interesting.

    Yes, me too. Speaking of Sixty Symbols...Here is a video about what I was talking about. (And about this subject, or more precisely, Furry's issue of the universe changes when we observe it.) From most of the physicists I have seen which make videos or write books (Interact with the...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yeah, but that's what I'm saying; it's not "us" who forces the choice. It's interaction with another object. It just so happens that in order for us to measure things, we need to perform that interaction. So "we" don't really have anything to do with it--it just so happens that our observations...

    Wait, what? I know that's how it's explained in those 2 minute videos, and I don't have anything more than a college physics class, so take that how you will. However, it was my understanding that QM wasn't based on "our observation" but rather that unless elementary particles interact with...
