I've gotta say, I'm really surprised. Even Convo would have a hard time finding something to complain about this. He's going to have to check his negative attitude for now. Edit: never mind, he's at it again, the hater

Seriously, dude does need to do a better job at constraining himself and have a talk with his team about what it means to set realistic expectations and downplay things. That's just good business practice. It's funny, EQ was such a smash success and VG such an abysmal failure- and Brad has...

Nice! Thanks Bisi!

Looks good, actually. Looking forward to this.

Same. Some pretty serious changes form the book, but doesn't ruin it.

.

While it's true that Brad is extremely polarizing, there are a few people on the forum that don't fit either of those categories. I'll go ahead and predict most of those without serious bias will be generally underwhelmed, with the more optimistic among them saying things like, "Well, it's a...

My prediction is that the detractors will continue to detract and the apologists will continue to apologize, and life will go on much the same as it was before.

Pathfinder online had the exact same plans. This is one of those obvious ideas that has been tossed around for years. It makes sense. It's a great idea. But it's not new and there's nothing groundbreaking in suggesting it. It may be the first time you've heard it, but lots and lots of...

"Evidence" isn't "evidence" until a crime has been committed. If there are no charges (Indictment, criminal accusation, etc), there is no "evidence." Saul and his client are free to make all the videos they want with relative impunity up until the point that charges are levied. There are...

I'm going to give some free advice to those Pantheon team members that read these boards. It really applies to just about everything in life and you can take it or leave it as you want: Keep your mouth shut about your intentions. Do work. Produce results. In short, don't tell me what...

They're just pretty words man, don't fall in love with pretty words. Wait until you can put your hands on a game that actually does 20% of what that doc says. P.S. You'll be waiting a while

So Crowfall isn't panning out, huh? Stopped following that thread but it looked like they had some good ideas. Anyone want to give me a brief summary on what happened? (Or what didn't happen)

Was thinking the same thing. Present it as symbolism only to reveal it's also actually a plot catalyst later. May not be the case, but that's the kind of thing these guys would do- and part of what makes their shows great.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, the whole package for the game and expanded content is like $90 on Steam. I want to play, but that's ridiculous.

Damn. That must have been a short sale. Missed it already and you just posted that yesterday. Oh well.

Avoid Comcast like the plague. Seriously. I could tell several long, drawn out stories about how many times they have screwed me and then parade in most of my friends and family to tell you their own stories. Worst of all is the amount of your time they will waste. I put a premium on my free...

Naw, that type of stuff is his bread and butter. He can write something like that up in less than an hour. And have it make sense and be pretty persuasive.

The garbage room = the prison where Gene has locked Saul. "SG was here" is what people write on the walls of the cell where they do time. As others have mentioned, the light switch and the door alarm are parallels. Saul would just open the door, knowing he could talk his way out of any...

Just played Dune II for the first time in almost 25 years. Awesome. Thanks.

In the novel he goes back to '58 and basically has 5 years to prepare to stop the assassination. Not sure they can do a novel of that size and depth justice in 9 episodes.

/ooc is global. I'd get the file pack.

I'm pretty critical and I don't feel like people got plot-stupid for the convenience of the writers. I can sense that shit a mile away and I didn't feel it in the books or show at all. They acted pretty similar to what average joe types encountering an unexpected situation would act like. And...

This show is funny. Seriously funny. I'm super late to the thread, but I watched the first episode months ago and all I got out of it was that it was weird. Got really bored yesterday and watched the next few episodes- really fucking surprised. It's very witty. Definitely gets better as you...

It's a shame too. The books stay just as good or get better after the first and since it's a 9 book series they would have enough material to keep the show going to numerous seasons. It would suck if their bungling of the release derailed the show for good. It definitely feels like we are...

It's the way the books are written- at least as far as Holden goes. It's unrealistic, but Holden is unrealistic- or a better word would beidealistic- that's kind of a major part of who he is. When couched in the context of the books, Holden's character isn't unrealistic at all. Everyone...

Had a good time. I don't mind soloing a chanter, but it's much more fun in a group.

Yeah I PLed her a little with the chanter in Uguk last night (exp there definitely rocks). She stayed up playing after I crashed, so she should be 14 or very close by now. We will be on tonight Edit: Kalla is 14.5

You guys may outpace Kalla and me, but we are going to try and keep up with you. I'm switching to my 20 enchanter and Kalla is a mage. If we can get on the same page, a mage, chanter, war, sham will be a pretty good 4 man. Both Kalla and I are at Guk now. If anyone else wants to join, we...

Might join you guys with my 12 necro. Name is Stella. Not sure how much I will be playing, but would be fun to log on and mess around with a group.

I've listened to all the books so far in this series on audiobook. They are all great, but for some reason they switched the reader in book 4 and it screws shit up (especially Avasarala). They go back to the original reader for book 5 though.

Sounds like what would happen if Slayer and Megadeth had a baby and then punched it in the throat.

I was wondering if that was the case- if it is it's much more forgivable. I may not like the added stuff, but at least the original creators are the ones adding it in. I have a hard time believing that all the changes are the authors' doing, though. Some changes totally undermine things in...

My one complaint about the show is that they keep adding random shit in and changing book events. I can't stand it when shows/movies do this. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the producers/directors have time/money constraints and have to cut certain things out. Sometimes they even need to...

In the books Belters spoke a patois that was a smattering of numerous earth languages, but primarily Spanish based. The words were Spanish based anyway, but the accent was unclear. I like the show's take on the Belter accent. I agree that Jared Harris is doing a great job.

Globes lose credibility for failing to recognize the best tv series this year.

Yeah, put me in for being curious as to what a negative command is. Especially since it's a suspendable offense.

Yeah... I've seen lots of comments about no one sleeping past dawn due to howler monkeys. I'm a super light sleeper too... bad news for me.

Haha nice racket you had. You make Cuba seem like a blast for a guys trip. Going to be bringing a girl with me, so a lot of that stuff is off the table (although she *is* pretty openminded now that I think about it). That said, I think as an American Cuba is still a bit of a hassle. Plus I...
