    there was much more interplay in everquest. it's as simple as that. it's not an exaggeration to say that almost everything you did involved other players. you had to rely on people for transportation, you had to ask people for rezzes, and you could interact with other people's mobs. what's not...

    yeah, frozen veggies give you more bang for your buck. kerrygold sells grass-fed dairy products and they're surprisingly cheap. i use a lot of their butter.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    i'm not talking about launching into a tirade and breaking stuff. listen, i don't think video games are that important in the grand scheme of things but do i really need to explain why frustration makes video games more satisfying?

    where do people get the idea that everything in eq was an accident? it had its bugs and i'm sure things like fd pulling weren't expected, but how do you know what the developers intended or not?

    EQ - The Sleeper

    boxing wasn't all that common back in the day. alt-tabbing wasn't possible for the first 2 years and most people didn't have multiple computers. with that said, i don't know why people play on these servers and emulators hoping to capture old eq magic. in eq's heyday, each server had thousands...

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    people sure love buzzwords. i don't see what's "gimmicky" about the game or how a significant death penalty is stupid. games are supposed to piss you off. visceral reactions like that are what make many games worth playing.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    your arteries don't assimilate animal fat and become clogged. that's not how the body works at all. the problem with fats arise when you promote inflammation by getting too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3, eating a high-fat AND high-carb diet, and consuming all those nasty trans fats.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    dude, you don't seem to understand the nature of the studies you're citing. we don't know what sources of saturated fat the subjects consumed, their macronutrient ratios, their omega-3 intake, or what kind of beverage they had alongside their big juicy steaks.

    there's nothing bad about the paleo diet. shut the fuck up. and people are misinterpreting what robb wolf had to say. he's simply saying you shouldn't eat a hypercaloric low-carb diet and expect to lose weight, although i rarely see that kind of eating promoted. he's also not suggesting...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    1. a paleo diet and ketogenic diet aren't synonymous. most people have to restrict carb intake to around 20g to reach ketosis. 2. that swedish study included people with unknown diets and people who consumed high-fat junk food 3. that doctor's quote shows precisely how narrow-minded and...

    these little conveniences people advocate do nothing but detract from a game's pacing which is vital for creating an effective fantasy world. fast-travel and things of that nature are fine in single-player games as an alternative to frequently traversing enormous areas. let's stop pretending...

    jack-of-all trade characters don't make sense in a setting in which a group is fighting common enemies. these encounters always involve tanking and healing and you end up assigning roles anyway.
