Normally I'd agree with you, but what the hell would the fix be? I can't see Mayweather taking a dive under any circumstances. Mcgregor taking a dive would be pointless because everyone expects him to lose anyway.

Yeah this is the most exciting possible outcome for what will undoubtedly be an otherwise boring fight- and there is pretty much no chance of this happening. If this was an mma fight, Mayweather wouldn't stand a chance. Since this is a boxing match, Mcgregor doesn't stand a chance. 12...

Prepare for much nicer weather and year-round top notch outdoor activities.

Tim Roth? Really? I guess if you asked any actor "Hey, do you want to be in next Twin Peaks?" Who's really going to say no to that ?

Dear god, the number of recognizable character actors in this show is nothing short of astounding.

Went with Colorado. Not upset about it.

Thought it was going to be a Thunderheart remake for a min, but looks substantially different. I'll probably check it out. We need more movies like this.

If you're still in the Denver area go to Bluepan Pizza and get the Brooklyn Bridge. Haven't had a better pizza anywhere I've lived- and they have a great tap too. Who knows, maybe I'll see you out (not that I'd recognize you).

Yeah from what I understand getting eaten off the coast of Australia is more likely than a lot of places but you'd still have to have pretty bad luck. I've also heard that the actual shark attack rate is lower than other places overall, but the fatality rate is a little bit higher because the...

I've been to Atlantic City. I found none of the things I mentioned there. Unless you count the homeless as dangerous wildlife, which I generally do.

Kinda off topic, but if I'm looking for great weather, fun nightlife (working professional), water sports/beaches, and a general fun/friendly environment what city or area would you guess recommend in Australia? Sounding like somewhere on the Gold Coast so far... how's Sydney though? Better...

Pretty useful. I've eaten several body parts so far. Found a hidden treasure spot due to the memories I got from eating a hand I found on the beach. Loving the game. About 22 hours in.

That's about as far as I got. Agree, it looks powerful and not overly complex. That's great news. What I didn't see was the actual content creation toolset. We saw him GMing a group through custom content (including a cool custom in-game map), but we didn't get a look at how he actually...

Never do early access but pulled the trigger on this game and I'm very glad I did. Game is awesome so far. They basically took all the good stuff in the Enhanced Edition and made it better and then added several new features. Color me impressed.

Probably going to pull the trigger on buying early access to this on Steam... Has anyone else done that? Is it decent/playable enough to be worth buying early?

Nope. I don't think we are missing out on anything-- that's part of the problem. The filler doesn't come from the events and the scenes themselves, but how those events and scenes are being presented. Anyone with sense can see the show is excellently crafted, but it drags. It doesn't drag...

Others have said it but I'll concur. Watch the old series first. I wasn't sure before I saw the new premier, but after watching it, I'm going to go back through and watch all the old stuff again before watching any more of the new.

Every episode moves the story along a "few pegs." They are taking a novel approach to filler content. Instead of having a two or so throwaway filler episodes in a normal season (as is typical), they have spaced the filler content out over the entire season so that every episode is like 15-20%...

Watched Fire Walk with Me many years ago before I saw the series. It's a weird movie. I would have gotten up and left my friend's place 15 minutes in if I hadn't been too drunk to drive at the time. But halfway through the movie it really started to grab me. By the end I (and everyone else...

Only thing I liked about Vah Shir was the sound they made when you killed them in pvp.

Yeah used to listen to it when I was a kid. Actually think it scared me when I was very young. Definitely brought back some memories hearing it again. Thought it was a great episode. Liking this season a lot. Very different than the other two seasons, but still very Cohen Brothers.

GM mode is the feature I'm most excited about but it's also the hardest for a studio to implement. It's really hard to give the players a solid toolset that isn't insanely complicated and that enables you to make the kind of game you want for your players. The original NWN did it better than...

Several dungeons in EQ like that

I spent a sick amount of time killing the Millers in Qeynos Hills. Took a lot of my chars from low 20's to low 30's there. I was on SZ and QH was out of the way enough I could usually level in peace. Got a few GBSs while I was at it. Early days on the pvp servers GBSs were money

Tbh pvp is by far the best way to resolve all kinds of shitty things players do. Doesn't help the vast majority that don't want to play on a pvp server, of course. I played on pvp servers for 95% of my EQ career and it was funny listening to people on pve servers complain about raid calendars...

So is this season a flop or what? Was looking forward to it but then when this board panned it I held off...

Pretty much where I sit. Going to hold off judging the relevance until the season unfolds more. There were some unusual things about the episode, but i wasn't bored at any point- that's the main metric I'm going to use to judge it for now. Was awesome seeing Leland Palmer. Dude looks almost...

I don't want to beat this horse but so much, but yes: There are a lot of things that can be automated and built into the system to GREATLY reduce the amount of resources needed to minimize bad RMT stuff. But you at least need to consider those things as you are building the game.... they don't...

Yep. I'm sure you're right. Should have quoted it ;)

Yeah, I mean I think most game devs would agree with you. On an alphabetical list of priorities, "Q" is about right as far as where stopping RMT/exploits/etc stands. Sigil made it a priority and (at one point) had significant resources, and even that wasn't enough. In other words, you can't...

lol I'm sure you're just shitposting/trolling, but on the off chance you aren't, what about that is bragging?

If you have an open-market in-game commerce system (as I definitely favor), you can't stop RMT. I think that's ok. The worst part of RMT (imo) isn't the out of game money changing hands, it's the effect it has in game a la spammers and farmers who are hogging game assets for the sole purpose...

I can tell you with full certainty that the crew I worked with at Sigil was fully dedicated to stopping RMT because everyone believed RMT was not a good thing for the game. I can't speak to other studios.

Looks like a movie very loosely based on the book series.

I'd agree with both points.

My impression from the books is that Belters were on average taller and thinner (with larger heads) than earthers, but not weird giant people. I think that Belter in the premier was kind of an exaggeration

Yeah I know. Running a game like this is all about prioritizing and resource allocation. You know that, of course. I'm sure everybody in this thread does. But the reason I mention it is because you are always short on time, money, and manpower. So you really have to make it a priority if you...

You can't stop it entirely, but you can mitigate it. But like I said, you have to build in tools from the ground up. A big part of successfully mitigating RMT is requiring that every account be linked to a real world item like a credit card. Free trial accounts that don't require...

I'd love to know VR's plan for RMT. Their intended mechanics are going to make this game a feast for gold spammers/farmers and RMTers. I'm sure with all the other stuff that's going on it'd be easy to leave this issue until it became a problem-- but that would be a big mistake. There are a...

Seems there is a definite "in combat" and "out of combat" distinction. Lots of abilities (certain rezzes, spell memorization) seem limited depending on if you are in combat or not...
