    Darksiders II

    the earth levels in darksiders were somehow more depressing to me than the undead levels in darksiders 2. they were just visually unappealing and i also preferred darksiders 2's combat.

    Django Unchained

    1. the gore wasn't realistic. it was over-the-top and hilarious (i don't know if this was his intention or not) 2. it blows my fucking mind that people are offended by the use of "American Inventor" in a movie about slavery. you're a god damn retard if you don't understand context

    Well, now what?

    you may very well be retarded. YOU MEAN PEOPLE WHO WERE FAMILIAR WITH A GAME WERE ABLE TO ADVANCE FASTER? SAY IT ISN'T SO. and your assessment of the mmo community is a joke.

    SWTOR

    long before the game's release, bioware explained that they included only humanoid characters because they felt these characters would better relate to the two factions' missions.

    Well, now what?

    are you seriously advocating modern mmo AI? the same mobs you can solo in 30 seconds without fear of dying? furthermore, what mmo has been "difficult"? what is difficulty? you people keep talking about it without defining it. eq was superior to modern mmos in several ways. it had a...

    Do you have health insurance?

    i have BCBS and was charged over a grand for an emergency visit and an xray. the healthcare system in the u.s. is absurd.

    Weight Loss Thread

    a good way to balance hormones and increase insulin sensitivity (and really just to optimize health) is to eat a quality high-fat diet plus some starchy carbs after a workout so your cortisol levels don't go through the roof.

    EQ Never

    to touch on a couple of points: 1. most 50s in eq didn't have full planar gear by kunark's release because MOST PEOPLE IN EQ DIDN'T EVEN RAID 2. where do people get the idea that the mmo market is largely comprised of people who don't have a lot of time? there are millions of people on...

    EQ Never

    who gives a flying fuck? eq felt like a living world and that's more than you can say about other mmos. you want challenging puzzles and bosses around every corner? go play a single-player game.

    Dark Souls 2

    so what is the best ascension path? i'm on NG+ and i'm using the black knight halberd that i got at the beginning of my last playthrough. is that pretty much the best i can do?

    Dark Souls 2

    has anyone ever gotten more than 4 kings to spawn in the abyss? i beat the 4th king and a 5th appeared out of nowhere and killed me with the purple magic arrow. i had never experienced that before.

    there's a reason mmos haven't implemented that kind of combat system. it would be a logistical nightmare.

    Well, now what?

    1. eq raids were "simpler" because you had 70 people and the coordination needed for a heavily choreographed encounter just wasn't possible. many wow raids were fun but they just didn't feel like raids. 2. death penalties are good if you care about pacing at all

    Dark Souls 2

    using the stone armor set to tank smough and ornstein at the same time is a surprisingly effective strategy.

    Dark Souls 2

    i didn't have any frame rate issues when i played on xbox. the only thing about dark souls that disappoints me is that there isn't much that sets the classes apart.

    you can get that physique either by eating a ketogenic diet with enough excess calories to build muscle or by carb-loading while lifting and then eating low carb in order to shed weight.

    success depends on more than just design. an mmo with little overseas marketing and no international servers isn't going to do very well.

    i remember devs nerfing (or wanting to) the efficacy of kiting and the subsequent community uproar, but i can't imagine kiting was considered an exploit when several classes had a host of spells that slowed movement.

    Well, now what?

    on the subject of death penalties: they're not unique to everquest. they're present in almost every single-player game you've played. you die, start from the beginning, and then breathe a sigh of relief once you've mastered a level. without these constructs, the reward centers of the brain...

    EQ Never

    it's amazing that some of you fail to understand the nuances of eq's pacing and the character interplay involved. yeah, you create a character and kill shit but small, ostensibly insignificant differences in design result in radically different experiences. i don't even think smedley knows what...

    Do you sneak into movies?

    if there isn't someone stationed at each auditorium, the easiest way to sneak into a movie is to simply ask the ticket taker if you can use the restroom. i was banned from a theatre in my hometown for trying to sneak intoblack hawk downusing anorange countyticket. they actually called the...
