    Better Call Saul

    Agreed- it's all idle speculation. That said, I'll end my idle speculation with this: 1. According to the Chekhov's gun principle (Chekhov's gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Chuck will absolutely use the tape. 2. It's possible he could try and use it to ruin Jimmy and Kim's...

    Better Call Saul

    Sure, it could be limited to that. But I still think "Chuck coming after Jimmy" is going to have professional consequences for Jimmy. Chuck is a letter of the law guy and he doesn't let stuff go. He also doesn't want Jimmy practicing law, and this seems like a golden opportunity for him to do...

    Better Call Saul

    Probably right. I just wonder what that scene was about with Jimmy and Kim in bed when Jimmy says Chuck is the best lawyer he has ever seen and they agree it would suck to have to face him in a courtroom. I figured that for foreshadowing- especially in light of the tape incident, but who knows.

    Better Call Saul

    I guess you guys are way more positive than I am. I assumed he would get disbarred and then reapply under the Saul Goodman moniker. Who knows? But it is possible to get disbarred and then reapply.

    Better Call Saul

    Dunno- but he has "overcome" his "disorder" before during important events (like the Mesa Verde meeting where he left all electric stuff on- and then collapsed at the end).

    Better Call Saul

    Going to go ahead and disagree and say Chuck will definitely use the tape and that it will put him in a courtroom against Jimmy one way or another. I felt like they have been foreshadowing a conflict like that for a while.

    Better Call Saul

    Great show but they are spreading it too thin. I understand they want to stretch it out over multiple seasons, but the show could pack a lot more punch if they weren't so focused on longevity. And while the season finale was "ok" for a typical episode, it was piss-poor for a season finale...

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    No doubt there were more important things going on than pvp. The whole company was struggling to stay afloat the entire time I was there. Trying to fix pvp issues was like watering the lawn while the house was on fire. That said, there were some basic non-systemic pvp specific problems that...

    Investigations GM. I took on several tasks in my free time though, including testing and communicating with the players about issues. One of my main side projects was trying to improve the pvp server. And yes, I was there at the end.

    Better Call Saul

    The show is great, but it's primarily due to writing/acting/directing- not story. They are trying to do too much and we are missing that tight/focused/driven plot we got with BB and (to a lesser extent) BCS last season. Right now, this is really two separate shows. The first show is about...

    I was one of the few in the company fighting for pvp fixes. We just didn't have the time/funding/manpower. After doing some testing on the live pvp server, I came up with a list of the top ten issues and the bard invis thing was near the top. When I went to management, they were so...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Pretty sure this will be the case. I'm guessing they do a crossover a movie that will end "Indiana Jones" and start a new series. New series will have a new name and Pratt will take over as protagonist, but the new series will be in the same vein, in the same timeline, and in the same IP...

    I'm perfectly ok with them saying no one but Ford could ever fill Indy's shoes, as long as they are ok with letting the franchise die with dignity. Don't want Chris Pratt to play the next Indy? Let the series be done and come up with something new instead of trying to squeeze every last drop...

    I'll play the devil's advocate here: You could write a book on all the shit that went wrong with Sigil. Just having a bunch of people and a bunch of money doesn't mean you are going to pop out a great game. There were a ton of toxic personalities at SGO trying to pull the game in...

    Making an mmo is such a pain in the ass. There are a million little things like that that need to be shored up and fixed, even after you get the big stuff down. That's where having a big team helps. You can delegate all those little tasks out. Pantheon's small team size is going to slow...

    Just went out and got mozzarella sticks. This is like the third time this thread has done that to me since the whole mozzarella sticks incident. I don't know if this thread will help Brad sell any copies of his game, but it sure as hell has helped the mozzarella stick industry in my town.

    Sure, you can post whatever you want to post. But if you use that little demo as a platform to keep asking people for money, you're going to kill whatever positive feelings it's generated. Let that shit stand on its own merit (assuming you think it has any).

    There is one that Aradune pulls at the orcs early on but doesn't kill anyone (other than himself) with. There's a pretty funny unexpected one at the end, after the demo while the characters are standing around at bind point answering questions. That, more than anything else, reminded me of EQ

    The buff sound is literally identical to EQ and the ding sound at level up is the same but they 'enhanced' it a bit. The con system was word for word for at least some of the cons. Their combat sounds lack the punch of EQ and their spell effect sounds aren't bad but need work. EQ had...

    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...

    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...
