    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    I hate shaky cam and I hate short action cuts. Directors, cinematographers and editors use these tools to evoke emotion in the audience to help them with their story telling but in many cases I couldn't give two shits about the emotion their trying to evoke. In other cases when shaky cam and...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Yeah it's funny how their effort to future proof it just made it age faster. In some ways I feel like if they said, "We aren't using green screens or any CGI characters." they'd generate a ton of hype for the movie.

    Far Cry 4

    What turned me off on FarCry3 was it seemed like the individual challenges of go here, kill this animal, go here, do this silly thing got really repetitive and it was hard for me to just skip it and move on. Is it pretty much the same with FarCry4?

    I feel like ZOS was worse, but maybe it was just the generally awful game that was TESO that was worse, and all the problems TESO had were just shit-pebbles on top of a shit mountain instead of annoyances that made an underlying great game even worse.

    Yeah I think I'll never trust the security of an MMO developed for South Korea. There they have their accounts tied to their version of a SSN, and getting banned from one account can get you banned from all MMOs. People say it's easy to get other/fake SSNs for puppet/expendable accounts but I...

    Dr. Mario's Retard Rehabilitation Program

    Column asked me to put this in the amod thread but he can't post there so I'll put it here. To state my explanation more explicitly and verbosely, using the phrase "chimp out" on its own is not worth a 30 day rrp, but can provide the catalyst for a 30 day rrp if a poster has been particularly...

    There were some really cool parts to the Phantom Menace. The pod racing, fights with Darth Maul and even a lot of the droid scenes were $$$, as was seeing jedi operate in true form instead of the crippled version of Darth Vader/Palpatine we got in Ep 4-6 and the low budget padawan we got with...

    I don't really know what I'd want out of a teaser though, so I can't really blame it for being forgettable. Ex: the skyrim teaser was about as forgettable as any teaser I've seen: But the actual trailer? It's one of the most exciting trailers I've ever seen for a game. Just watching...

    I like the idea too and it fits, but IMO it's only valid if the movies express the idea. My biggest problem is jedis sitting in a luxurious facility in an incredibly wealthy planet-city and talk about, "Oh man this Anakin kid is going to bring balance to the force!". Where is the guy that...

    hilt guard makes 100% sense. So would a lightsaber with a dynamic range controlled by the force lol. The teaser was just okay, which is acceptable for a teaser. It didn't really show anything interesting in it and could be summed up as, "we're making a star wars sequel."

    Yeah Ollo is a very active server. There was a pretty big drop in activity 1-2 weeks ago when the apex dupe, tstruck trees in marketplace and the chest exploit happened close together and that caused a lot of serious players to quit, so I bet there's a lot of land being evicted atm.

    Wife is getting close to the due date. I never spent a lot of time with a pregnant woman, but I always perceived their bellies as being smooth curves and round.

    What you say is true, however if a player only attempts to earn gold via: 1. farming (legal or illegal) 2. Running trade packs (buying the mats off the AH or farming themselves) 3. Fishing 4. Farming purses 5. Piracy. and that player only plays ~4 hours a day, labor generally isn't a...

    I pretty much agree with everything you said more or less. Powerful AE is the #1 ability to cause players to disperse and while this game has some builds with good AE, the range on them and them being almost all PBAE isn't enough to really bring the dynamic that we saw in DAOC. And as the...

    I think I'll have to run the numbers again, let's see... 2 million health 1.5k dmg each 50% of my shots hit, so 750 average damage, so 2.6k shots, that's 133333 honor, plus 500 honor to purchase the weapons, let's say we purchase 50, that's 2261 honor each. Certainly not outside the realm...

    Welp sieges are in rough shape. If anyone knows of a castle that got taken that had an actual defense team please post it. Basically, the 'intended' way to siege is to use siege tanks and trebs to knock down the walls, then attack the (now weakened) lodestone. Unfortunately siege tanks...

    It depends on if you need better gear to get crafted. If you're doing peace trade pack runs, auctioneer trading or even fishing, just go straight for crafted. I'd recommend magnificent lake cloth (sta/int) for any caster and a sceptre/shield. If you want to play a longer game, go for epherium lake.

    At this point nothing would surprise me. Whatever happens we'll be ready. They tripled the health of the walls/guard tower since alpha though, so sieging is really no joke. We're going to be doing everything we can to win on Sunday, but it favors the defenders immensely.
