    Somebody probably should've told these dumbasses that traffic stops are secondarily for enforcing traffic laws and primarily for catching people breaking non-traffic laws by inspecting criminal vehicles who can't help but break traffic laws.

    The two big questions I have for those robots is cost and runtime/distance between charges. They look spectacular and can handle many mobility challenges that wheeled robots aren't suited for. I can think of numerous use cases where they could be used even with limited range. And I bet they are...

    Probably the most re-assuring answers in the interview. "We have a ton of money and all the time we want to do this right."

    Minecraft Dungeons

    Looks cool, but I'd be more interested in whether it's an open game that allows player created dungeons and mods. Not sold on the isometric view, it's just so... limiting and overdone.

    PS4 games for our kids

    I want to buy a switch for my 4 yo kid, but am not sure if he'll enjoy it that much or if it'd even be good for him, lol. Plus his taste in cartoons is shit, what am I going to do if he's bad at video games? I don't want to carry him through gaming his whole life.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Anyone who doesn't use advanced loot spends as much time clicking corpses as I spend making them. The only problem I have with it is the rare incidents of crashes when modifying your filters. This happens most regularly when mass killing entire zones (where advanced loot is best used).

    I like BG1 better than BG2 because A: The DND combat works better, IMO, when it's more simple at lower levels B: BG1 is effectively an open world game with a main mission that takes you through a large, linear storyline. BG2 has an open world-quest hub (Athkatla) with a bunch of large, linear...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    tbh I would love to see their two best players dueling to win, it's a much better measure of how the combat is vs a guy trying to smoothly move through a level.

    We'll see, but it's going to be finished in a few months and AAA games are rarely better at release than they are at E3. Right now it looks like a stilted melee combat game with lightsaber-looking bats.

    If it wasn't Jim Cummings doing the voice, I might be inclined to agree. His characters get a lot of latitude with me. Same with Mark Hamil.

    Yep. The trailer set the stage for it to be as dark as bg1/bg2 generally was, but I'm sure there will be some camp in it.

    Progression PvP is probably the only progression server I'd consider playing. I bet they don't want it because it'd be a huge drama-fest when some jerk with 50 mages from VMs starts camping players like they're camping hill giants. I am proud that in an AMA directed at the producer I asked the...

    WoW Classic - Guild

    I wanted to go horde back in beta. All the PvP guilds went horde so we went alliance. I stuck with it years later. I did roll horde in beta though. Leveling a undead mage in one of the first patches that had them was fun.

    Trailer was pretty much perfect. Had the same feel of the old trailers while also showing something that was not only grounded in Baldur's Gate lore, but is super exciting. There's a bunch of different directions they could take a BG3 game and illithid is the most ambitious and the most...

    Yes, if you like RPGs. Because it uses 2D graphics the game is still visually appealing and has aged well. Especially with the Enhanced Edition allowing you to zoom around. What hasn't aged well are the loot / spell mechanics that can get a little tiresome. Cheating in a few bags of holding...

    Never heard of Surviving Mars. Can you recommend it for someone who kind of likes city building / strategy / survival games, and really likes early-space travel fiction (Ex: expanse series) and space science?

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Part of me wants to believe that medical researchers and doctors would have the kind of data to show a tripling of rates of autistic behavior in a couple decades that isn't explained by changing definitions and classification, but with the pathetic state of any social science that's politically...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Autism pisses me off, even more than cancer. I don't really know any autists (except you fuckers of course) but there's something about a syndrome that seems to have become an epidemic in my lifetime that makes me want to eradicate it. Here's to hoping the link with the gut biome is relevant...

    I've played BG/BG2 more times than any other singleplayer game. The amount of replayability is massive due to the library of mods ( List of BG2EE Compatible Mods )for what is really an impressive engine even by modern standards. The recent Enhanced Edition revitalized the community and now it's...

    You gotta be a simple server if your community settles on a dump like nfp for a hub. How many hours did your dumbasses spend running there while cool kids were trotting from commonlands spire and druid circles to our hub?

    Why would NFP ever be a trading hub? It's totally isolated.

    All this talk about weapons makes me want the chase item in the next expansion to be a weapon. The TBL chase items are great, but you can only get so excited about boots/ring/gloves/shoulders.

    It's a pretty huge business question for sure. I'd be very curious to see what calculations they have internally to show that a market exists to provide the kind of funding they expect to get.
