Yeah, scams and the CS complaints to accompany them, or people actually just dropping money on the ground by accident, like in water or something. About the only thing normal people used it for was shedding weight as a monk or dropping 1000 coppers so they could loot something worth more.

Salmon is fairly robust; should be able to handle a cast iron pan no problem. It's fish like halibut/tilapia/sole that need a lot more care. The trick is making sure the pan is hot enough and whatever medium (oil/butter) you're using as lubricant is even enough so that when you place the fish...

The game is called TERA. It already exists, and EQ's lore was hamfisted on a good day, which is completely unlike anything in the Souls' universe(s). EQ could probably run on a smart watch, since it is literally almost 20 years old at this point. The issue is connectivity, and since we...

Just a note, but the orc chick being just bodypaint is because that's most likely Garona, who is half orc/half human. I'd imagine that full orc broads are mostly CGI as well, or they got Chyna out of pornland to bodydouble nonstop. Trailers have been looking better since the first, and them...

Ranta must have saved his HT just in case. Good stuff.

Abigail is such a caricature of a misunderstood gamer girl that I couldn't help but patriarchy the shit out of her. Instrumentals in the rain, bitches.

That is an unfortunate hereditary smile.

Jesus, I'm not canadian, or a redneck, or a hockey player, or a skid. But I laughed very hard at that. And there's more!

Imagine that, modern military absolutely dominates medieval military. Shocked! This was the Strike version of the episode where the guys on horses charge tanks. Good stuff.

Eh, the invasions in Rift that shut down locations were usually bugged in early release. As in, you'd have an invasion over some little quest hub/along the only way to get to some location, and it would start chain spawning on top of itself. You'd have hundreds of npcs stacked onto each other...

I like it a little better than 7, and overall a lot better than the official unmodded 8 releases. It's not game-changing though at all, and I still don't like the default start menu setup. But it hasn't had any real issues for me so changing from 7 to 10 was just a mild start menu/search bar...

Looks a tad low-budget, but that combat/no loading screen went right to the feels. Especially when the samurai guy does Whirlwind and hits all the mobs that are located near each other. Wtb.

EQ was pretty cool for mmo virgins in 1999-2003. EQ is a pretty crappy game for the current gamespace and especially so if it wasn't your cherry-popper. Remaking EQ (what people keep clamoring for, apparently) with updated graphics is not going to have nearly the same impact as EQ did in 1999...

There was a lot of super sweeping balance changes shortly after release. I played... 3 months? Or something afterwards, and they absolutely gutted a lot of the free-form build concepts because the game is very (jfc, I hate that I'm even referencing this) DIKU based with specific roles, and...

Yeah, that's actually a strange design decision to not have thing sorts of spelled out for you at the start. Even the RF/HM games either have manuals or something to go along with it, while this game uses the unique approach of not telling you that the "manual" for the game is actually unlocked...

It's mostly their reliance on a lot of stock stuff art stuff vs. the actual engine, I suppose. Had they went with another engine, they might not have the sheer volume of stock items to just copypasta in, and would have to be more creative on that front. That said, it certainly looks better...

That's 'endgame' gear. Dudes in pantheon were in cloth robes and shit. Try to find the differences between tanks at level 20 in ffxiv, or healers (or casters in general) at level 20. Or dps! Because when I played, it was all about having items that were transferable between classes while...

It was a sad grab at attention before, but now she's just being boring.

I definitely didn't figure out that you had tountil like, two weeks into winter. Also, I never quite looked directly at my sickle, because I figured there would be special grass in the summer to cut. Cleared like 80% of the farm of grass before I actually looked at the damn thing. Oh well...

Pretty large reach advantage over most fighters, and abusing the rules that you can't do soccer kicks on a "down" opponent, hence all the crawling around and shit. He was also warned for eye pokes a bunch due to him always keeping his fingers in people's faces. He is definitely a very good...

It's a common Harvest Moon/Rune Factory deal. You start with -so- much shit you could theoretically do, each day. You clearly aren't doing all of it, and that's sort of niggling. But as you progress you make certain purchases and plant certain crops and you end up with a lot of free time each...

Hah. Alright.

I'm not surprised Polygon has late updates on non-swj topics. Color me beige. EQ:N Cancellation: Shocked. Had they tried to aim for and realistically implement 1 or 2, not all 500 of their random "improvements" it might have turned out better. Destructible voxel environs in a MMORPG was a...

Erased was... formulaic. I expected/anticipated something else. I have a bad feeling about the "present day" stuff.

Yeah, this game is pretty baller. It's not quite as good as Rune Factory for combat, or Harvest Moon for farming. But it has a lot of just random shit to do, and it's very nostalgic feeling. Easily worth the $15 if either of those games I mentioned interested you.

Re: DOMS and what to do Sack up and deal with it, sadly =/ I would say do some hardcore yoga, but at your height/weight, that might be out of the question. On the bright side, it will drop off pretty quickly if you spend quality time in the gym in subsequent sessions. You'll keep getting...

Hickam's Dictum up in this 'ma. My personal theory is that he's actually stuck in a time loop, and that the only way to get out of it is to fix whatever is wrong. He'll keep leaping back and forth in time, until he fixes it. Hopefully his next leap will be the one home. of logic.

Fucking love Dopethrone. Thanks for posting this! I feel a little bad for rarely contributing beyond just going "holy shit this is awesome, thanks!" to this thread. So much good stuff here.

It felt like he was seeing himself to a degree in the chick about to die. I'm not a film school douche, but it stands to reason that he'd have to progress beyond himself in order to be a darth in the SW mythos. Which is of course totally trampled in the clone wars series. Either way, that...

Yeah, when it comes to shortlisting of "actors who just make shit better" by being in them, Sutherland, Dance, and Reeves (Keanu!) immediately rise to the top. It's like spectacle and history entwined.

I think the vast majority of people (lifters or not) would benefit heavily from doing some bodyweight burnout type stuff in their routine. I know planks are some hippy bullshit to most people, but being able to hold one for a period of time takes considerable core strength. Totally worthwhile...

I just wanted to revisit this. Because... it's majestic. Considering the guy literally came home to his murdered mom, passing the murderer on his way in, it's -very- unlikely that he's the killer. There's no reason to even spoiler this.

My instant response to that video is "lawl dumb." =/ The fact that it just shorthands the damage as "3T" is enough for me to realize it isn't aimed at me. Numeric inflation does not make me excited in the slightest.

I was just trying not to have to type out a routine =/ My personal recommendation would be akin to supersets and german volume training. In between powerlifting training and cardio with weights. I lift alone, so going super-heavy is just asking to wind up as a statistic. Though I do...

Rousey, even in defeat, is still the "face" of women's mma. Granted I'd much prefer Tate as the face over her, but whatever. Rousey was a cash cow before, and given the kryptonite of Holm isn't on the horizon for the moment, it would be silly not to have her "comeback" be against someone she...

Start with diet. Get yourself eating 4-500 calories under whatever your maintenance weight is. If you haven't lifted before, you may want to just check out "Starting Strength" and go from there. But your diet is going to be 90%+ of your weightloss, especially where you are starting from...

There's a few ways around those issues (primarily, my ancient posts about procedural content creation) in that an area being overrun by powerful monsters needs to be enticing to higher level players to deal with. Rift tried that by having the rift-only crystals being used for the trinket slot...

No wonder I play Tau. I identify with them as a fellow short bipedal thing.

It really comes down to what you are looking for in a srpg. If you want pure mechanics, I would imagine that the Disgaea games are pretty awesome. I've only played 3 of them (1-3, specifically, at times of release) and I personally want a little more meat to my srpg than just mechanics. The...

Pretty sure since they have four obvious character archetypes, people are going to be comparing the ladies to the originals pretty much nonstop regardless. Venkman! With tits. Spangler! With tits. etc. But yeah, this is an obvious cash grab. The problem is that criticizing it (much like...
