    Timeline: Kingdom Hearts

    I loved Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2. They're releasing KH 1.5 for the PS3 shortly. It's going to combine 1 & 2 as well as some of the hand held games or something, to really give you the story. I would assume that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be available for the PS4 in the future. Such an awesome...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Yeahlight reached out to Smedley about Sony hosting the EQClassic servers. They could charge people a subscription to use it and YL would make no money at all in the process. All he asked, in return, were the official drop tables and random spawn chances from the EQ Mac server. Smedley said...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I'm REALLY late to this thread, but I felt like I should post old images from vanilla that I still have on my HD. And this was the general opinion of most Horde during vanilla. This is from my days in FoH. So is this one. (Our first Onyxia Kill) My Warrior, Szader, at...

    How dare you think logically when people are looking for a reason to flame the project for being a huge troll?

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    It isn't vaporwear. We are absolutely 100% playing the game. We've found pretty much every bug or error that's currently available. The server has NEVER crashed, and random bug updates were taking upwards of 10 minutes to put onto the server. Things were going great. They were about to...

    Japan

    Christmas and New Years are reversed in Japan, as far as America views these holidays. Christmas is a time be with your friends. Get them small gifts and the like. New Years Eve is for your family. Travel back home and enjoy your parents & grand parents. Definitely the opposite of what...

    YL just minutes ago made a new post on the tester forums saying that his RL got real busy all of the sudden. The company that he owns IRL is being bought out by another company, and he's going to spend the next 6 months doing nothing but making sure that goes according to plan. Which means his...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    It was a joke, yes. But I didn't feel the need for a sarcasm tag. I assumed it pretty much read as it should have. As for going back and re-watching the old show, I just don't have time anymore. I have difficulty keeping up with modern shows that are still on. And gaming? Forget that. I...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Because it's completely different? I mean, Khan wasn't even the official bad guy until people told others that he was in it. I can answer the question though. I've NEVER seen a previous Star Trek anything. Not a movie, not a TV show. It just wasn't my thing... seemed way too nerdy for...

    Urgent Advice Needed from an American!

    I put premium fuel in my car (roughly 20 cents a gallon more), and I'm out ~$60 every filling. That's putting 15 gallons in. However, this is Philadelphia area, so 100% the opposite side of the country. I suck.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Well, it's purely game mechanics. IE - How things work related to combat. It's only combat based, though. Nothing with world geography. They were trying to determine if anything they had done up until this point in the design process would have fatal errors to occur that would crash the...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    So I just wanted to bump this up to the top. EQC's testing appears to be stalled out right now. I personally haven't had a lot of time to play recently, but every time I log in, even for just a few minutes, the server appears to be a ghost town. It's possible that people are just waiting...

    I heard an un-intended spoiler on Opie & Anthony today about the new Spider Man. Giovanni Ribisi is playing The Rhino, and he's all tatted up. Might be good.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    EQC's approach would be to allow boxing in the form of 1 running copy of the game per computer. If you have more comps, you can box. But he is dead against scripting. So let's say you work at a help desk or something and have access to 50 computers, you would not be able to have 50 accounts...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    People seem to neglect that around 95% of the audience of these movies have NEVER READ a comic book, much less a Marvel comic of Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America or Thor. We are a small audience. With that said, they can't introduce all of the nuances that make the characters great in a...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    YL's personal goals are to make a SoD-type server that he will run. Harakiri, on the other hand, is the "Up through Velious" type. YL just sees a server that only ever encapsulates 3 expansions as having a permanent stop point. Realistically, there is only so much someone can do with a...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    You have a point, but had it not been for the way RDJ portrayed Tony Stark / Iron Man, the entirety that is modern day Marvel cinema would not have existed at all. He hit the ball so far out of the park that they were able to use it as a pillar to build Thor, Captain America, & The Avengers off...

    I was making an email blog of the trip. Looks like we were there back in August of '09. (We went back this past September to show off our daughter to her relatives). Anyway, here's what I wrote back then: After reading this, I've realized just how much of a foreigner I was on this first...

    Japan

    Here are pictures of one of the meals. I'll look on google maps to see if I can find the place. Even though it's been a few years, I could pretty much locate it. (It was Really close to the Thousand Steps temple thing up on top of the mountain).

    Honeymoon Ideas?

    I spent a few days in St. Croix (US Virgin Island) this past December. It was a beautiful country and you don't even need a passport to get there. On top of that, the currency is USD. It was a really beautiful place. The days were roughly 85 degrees, and the water was like a bath. Went...

    Japan

    I was in Kyoto with my wife (she's Japanese) 2 years ago. We stayed at one of those traditional style hotels. It was roughly $600 USD per night, but it was incredible. Also, that price included breakfast and lunch every day. The hotel had a total of 26 rooms, and a "room girl" that took care...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    In the ultimate universe they wanted to create a "new" Galactus. They couldn't imagine a being only a little larger than a sky scraper being able to eat an entire planet, so they envisioned it something like a swarm of Locusts or ants that can destroy the entire harvest of a farm in no time at...

    Technically, Galactus is a swarm of insect-like things in the Ultimate Universe. It isn't a single entity as it was in classic marvel. http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/201/img022el.jpg(what they do)

    Scenes that made you cry like a bitch

    Let me elaborate on my above post of the Japanese film, Departures. (It won an Oscar for the best foreign movie). It's a film about a guy that's kind of a fuck up. In Japanese culture, when you are of age, you should be working. This guy couldn't hold onto a job to save his life. He gets...

    Scenes that made you cry like a bitch

    While it's not a scene, pretty much the entire movie of "Departures". A Japanese drama. It was incredible, and I cried like a bitch a good 6-7 times during it.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    You're locked in the book until 35. Then you can just /sit to mediate. As far as the design choices from EQ, they were made based off of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I don't know enough about AD&D to say this perfectly, but supposedly hybrid type characters were at a leveling disadvantage...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Yeahlight is creating a single ruleset. Not an ever-changing one the way "real" EQ had. For example, he just decided to do away with the Hybrid Experience Penalty. This penalty was gone by the end of Velious, so he didn't see a need to keep it in for his version of the game. The reason for...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Keep in mind that all of this testing is ONLY game mechanics. It has absolutely nothing to do with the database. IE - Mobs, their drops, their locations, their spawn cycle, items in general, and drop percentages. There's a ton of work that still needs to get done. P99 has a nicely worked up...
