    Sorc/Zerker are the least noob friendly. Witch/Ranger are noob friendly. They're also very powerful in end-game.

    Black Desert

    Game devs have been trying, and failing, to make a good game mechanic for socialization for decades. Every idea I've seen just breaks down once you learn the gimmick.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Nah he got you, quaid. I don't think anyone on this forum has predicted a release before 2017.

    Fallout 4

    I bet the hardest thing would be to get the animations down. The combat in jedi knight felt perfect. Replicating that agility in FO4 would be amazing, especially with all the tools jedi had to defeat ranged opponents. Force pushing a mininuke at an enemy? next level gameplay.

    agree 100% on the price setting. It causes artificial scarcity and makes the market irrational. I really don't get why they have it.

    Join TS, look for someone with a C by their name, ask them to invite you to PRX3. Once you hit 50 drop PRX3 and get an invite to XRP. Guilds don't really help you level to 50 that much and almost nobody in PRX is sub 50. If you have questions/problems it's best to ask in this thread or in...

    Better Call Saul

    There's probably a dozen different reasonable ways for Chuck to use that tape, and I doubt the writers of Better Call Saul have decided which one they'll pick. Like the machine gun in the last season of BB, they showed it early, and didn't decide what he'd do with it until the last minute...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I wouldn't call it faith in science. More like "faith that things that appear true are true.". And that's less of faith and more of an assumption that 2+2=4 and the sky is bl.... some kind of fucked up grey, get it together Michigan. I know you're not making an equivalence between religion...

    I trust that whatever that says is coherent and true. I did not verify it, but it would be possible to do so. Palum, the ball is in your court.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I probably should have stretched the example. Hodj, quick, give me a good, recent scientific breakthrough in anthropology or whatever you study that I'd have no way to verify or even understand.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Hodj, succinctly, what is the argument here? Let me assume for a moment it's the semantics debate of the word faith + the difference between religious belief and scientific understanding. Under that assumption let me add my two cents: 1. If I tell you I drove a Honda this morning, you...

    I'm hearing that bladers are fun to level, but are pretty poor at GvG pvp. We're telling people in PRX to be hesitant to reroll.

    Zoom accepting Barry's terms, handing over Wally and them just hanging out for half an hour shooting the shit while Wells dicked around with the speedsucker was pretty bad TV. It's mind blowing that Barry would just go through with it instead of whipping Zoom's ass again. They also...

    Better Call Saul

    I enjoyed season 2. Oh and after all the completely useless, stupid and morally corrupt women in Breaking Bad, I'm glad to see such a strong female character in Better Call Saul. Her character really captures the essence of the strong-willed, career oriented women I know.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I'm a scientist because I cooked a few steaks at different times and measure their flavor, and an athlete because I used locomotion to walk around the kitchen while doing it. I'm also a childhood psychologist because I repeated my toddler's babblespeak while cooking.

    We'll be in it long term. The 'end-game PvE' is more about coordinating to know about and then eviscerate bosses before everyone else shows up than it is about killing bosses skillfully. We have a pretty good setup where we work with some other guilds to learn about and then prioritize boss...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The question is whether taking accurate measurements and building as clean and deterministic an experiment as possible is science or engineering. Truth is, it's both: You're engineering good science!

    Came to post that. Completely outlandish even if it's a small #. I can't think of a single other MMO that has used this mechanic from D&D. However, people are saying that if you take a hit on HP, you get "hidden stats" boosted:

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The problem I have with this is how broad it is. Me using this method to figure out the probabilistic impact of gear bonuses on Accuracy in Black Desert Online doesn't make me a scientist. Me trying to figure out why my internet is cutting out by swapping out every piece of hardware I can...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I understand the similarities, but the differences manifest themselves in very important, domain specific ways. When engineers are required to tread into the grounds of the theoretical, many have difficulty properly evaluating ideas. They're used to building and improving systems based on...

    I think they blew up my IPT account since I lost my amazing ratio after AT&T blocked my ability to seed their trackers or something. Any good competitor to IPT? TPB has been done this whole weekend.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I wouldn't say you need a Ph.D to be called a scientist, but nearly all scientists do. The path of formal education is climbing up to the shoulders of giants. The dissertation is merely the act of finally peeking your head over their shoulder. What a lot of people not in the field don't know...

    I think the primary disagreement between us is that you see planetary colonization as the primary method of off-earth colonization. I see it as a secondary colonization to colonizing large asteroids and space stations. If we spent the 500 billion or whatever it'd take to colonize Mars with a...

    Finally caught up. I'm really like season 4 so far, though I hope they rescue Job asap. Him getting the hose again every day for two years is too much to bear. I'm glad they killed off Rebecca, whiny Husband and did a soft-kill of whiny Husband's wheezy son. He was like Walter White's son...

    Would it really be like that? Rugged pioneers subsisting on whatever they can scrounge up deep in the bountiful American forest? Being helped by local natives? Because I think it'll be closer to William Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev. Three dudes sitting in a cold bunker...
