    Pet Sematary (2019)

    Usually annoyed with remakes but for some reason this one doesn't bother me. Maybe it's been long enough since the original or maybe the source material is just good enough to warrant it.

    Better Call Saul

    Pace has been annoying for several seasons. It's such a well done show you don't really mind, but a lot of stuff is intentionally dragged out in the way it's shot. A sharp editor could cut every episode down to 20ish minutes of run time without deleting a single scene- just clip and snip the...

    Better Call Saul

    Mike isn't good or bad; he's a man with a code. His code isn't quite as simple as a "No women, no children" but he has one. I think it's fair to say that killing a bunch of German engineers who aren't "in the game" just to keep them quiet doesn't really feel consistent with what we have...

    Better Call Saul

    Well, maybe not the only reason. Everybody knows, if you want some shit engineered to perfection, get German or Japanese engineers.

    Legacy of Norrath - Classic+ EQ Experience

    For those that played EQ Reborn- any significant differences between this server and that?

    Dress Shirts

    Anyone have suggestions for dress shirt brand/style? I'm pretty picky about my dress shirts and I have a hard time finding a brand that fits/works well. The fit that usually works best for me would probably be described as "athletic fit." The really slim stuff chokes me to death and I can't...

    EQ Reborn (Classic EQ)

    No, seriously, is Kegz running EQ Reborn? Just rolled a char there and I need to know before spending time leveling.

    Wait, Kegz is running the EQ Reborn server?

    Get Shorty

    Fantastic show. Definitely flying under the radar right now. This is going to be one of those shows where in a few years everyone is going to be saying, "how did I miss this?"

    Better Call Saul

    That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. Jimmy isn't a great guy, but Chuck was his brother and he spent years taking care of him. No indication he wanted his brother to die. Jimmy was clearly very upset when he learned about Chuck's death, it's not like realizing he caused it...

    Possible Star Trek Next Generation reboot

    Guess this is a good thread to ask- Discovery worth the time to watch? I put it on the back burner and forgot about it. Should I bother?

    The D&D thread

    What are the main differences between old PF and new PF? Any major overhauls, like making it skill-based, or changing major mechanics?

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

    Bro, this is possibly the one thread that still resembles the early foh board years. This is the exact same argument that has going on since 2005, except the word Vanguard has been replaced with the word Pantheon.

    Deadwood

    According to just about every metric I should love Sopranos. I've been a Gandolfini fan since True Romance, I love the genre, Rome and Deadwood are two of my favorite shows of all time... Yet I still couldn't get into the Sopranos and I can't figure out why. It wasn't bad, it just didn't...

    I'm intrigued. Why would it have been better to watch as it was coming out than now?

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

    Other than annoying pvp shit, like zone dancing/plugging, zoning never bothered me- as long as the zone times are fast. I liked having dozens of little microcosms (zones) within the broader game world. Different zones had different feelings- different personalities. I liked being able to run...

    The D&D thread

    My group actually played around with the EQ pnp RPG. I was pretty dubious about it, but it ended up being a blast. The system was well-designed and Norrath makes a surprisingly decent pnp gaming setting. The advantage is that we all knew the setting, so when the GM started describing Felwithe...

    History of FoH

    You didn't play early EQ if you weren't part of at least one fucked up fear raid that resulted in several hours worth of failed CR attempts and several naked deaths.

    Vanessa's Tranny AMA Blog Thread

    My best friend and I actually broke his dad's VCR with this movie when we were kids. His dad was fucking pissed- this was when VCRs were actually pretty expensive. Burned the motor out rewinding, attempting slo-mo, pausing this scene over and over. These were the only tits we had access to...

    Lol none of those thing would prevent someone from composing music, but yeah it may very well be a different Nino.

    Nino is a really solid dude and a talented composer. He did the musical score for VG.

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

    I consider p2w anytime you can pay real money to circumvent in game mechanics that those who don't pay real money can't circumvent. That's a long way of saying when you can buy in game shit with out of game money, it's p2w. In early access you aren't circumventing anything. You are still...

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    That's not bad. I'd be solo or with gf. Lots of hobbies though, so I would need a 2BR at min (1100-1300 sq ft) for storage and office space (or a really big 1BR with storage). Haven't really checked out buying prices yet, either. I'd have a firm ceiling of like 400k for a small house (2-3...

    They'll absolutely expand the team regardless of projected financial issues of it's deemed necessary for the project. Can tell you that from first hand experience. Don't use a 'now hiring' sign as any indication of the financial health of a project in this business.

    Buying a Business

    I recently looked into quitting my govt job and buying a business. Met with a broker and had some long discussions. Impression I got was similar to what lots are saying: don't go near a brick and mortar restaurant. Also, I personally decided not to buy someone else's headache. If I were to...

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    I'm actually looking at a job opportunity in Portland myself. My general and halfassed research has turned up pretty positive things so far. Anything I'm missing that would give me pause to move there? I'm in Denver now, so I'm pretty used to the homeless thing and I can deal.

    Who are you kidding- none of those people will be on the pvp server.

    EQ: Classless.

    Dozens and dozens of easy ways to prevent cock blocking. First and foremost, simply don't publish what the goal or condition of server Victory even is. Second, some degree of cock-blocking is good in a PVP server.

    EQ: Classless.

    I like the idea of a goal or condition that triggers a wipe a lot. Especially if you make the goal or condition with the intent that it would take about a month to achieve it. Plus you could certainly play around with it. If it took longer or less time than you thought you could just change the...

    EQ: Classless.

    Depends on a lot of things: max level, experience bonus, drop rates, pve content. I agree 2 weeks seems pretty short if the objective is to encourage at least a little pve play. You would barely have time to make a character, kill some NPCs, get some gear and some rares, and have a few pvp...
