    Skyrim

    Nehrim was hands down better than Oblivion and showed what a TES-style game with a few key rule changes could be like when done properly. Specifically, XP driven leveling + unleveled zones + no fast travel. The no fast travel thing is easy to mod in, but requires the devs to build a world and a...

    Black Desert

    I feel like the need to paint the world in jokes that has been cultivated by archeage has finally burst in bdo. I really do miss the creativity shown in archeages housing areas.

    Black Desert

    Tonight was the first siege. We claimed one of the regions in a somewhat underwhelming fight, but a win none the less. The game currently has 4 regions.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    reddit post that put the battle of the bastards in perspective. Maybe it's true and Jon has become a new man, but I think he's going to emo his way through the series. [EVERYTHING] Jon's story in 'Battle of the Bastards' isn't what people think : gameofthrones

    Skyrim

    I play TES games by playing them vanilla, then coming back a year+ later and mod it to high heaven. I would get the UI mod: SkyUI at Skyrim Nexus - mods and community asap though. After your first playthrough look at: Skyrim GEMS And see what you like. Even mods like: Deadly Dragons...

    The grinding is that bad. If you're not level 56 with 300+ gear you're dog meat.

    Black Desert

    This will usually mean server instability. Devs don't make stuff client-side out of pure laziness, it's usually to reduce network-load. A lot of times this can be done intentionally to get through the initial few months of extreme usage, where they can then relax a bit later and tighten things up.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    good response. After posting and thinking about it I'm reminded of this scene from the other show Littlefinger is in as the same character. I want Jon Snow to be the next Aegon I Targaryen, not the next Eddard Stark. I want Sansa Stark to be the next Queen of Thorns, not the next...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    enjoyed last sunday's episode with a few caveats: 1. Jon Snow did exactly that Sansa told him not to. I kind of hoped he'd develop into a smarter character by now. 2. Sansa was useless the entire season and once again only made relevant by those around her when she grudgingly agreed to help...

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    Those people are self-defeating. A factional PvP system gives them a slight-taste of a guild that is duller than being in an anonymous zerg guild. It acts as a crutch that prevents them from being forced to join a community, but doesn't give them the real MMO experience of being part of one...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I always thought the hard thing to "get" about the Monty Hall problem was that the host would never pick the door with the goat. In this case I think I would evaluate both odds as equal. Thoughts?

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    After GW2->ESO->AA I'm really enjoying Black Desert Online's FFA PvP. Not only is it super annoying to have a tremendous number of assholes on your side, but you also don't get to really play with other factions. I also like that there is a fairly large player-base on one server in BDO. AA had a...

    If you want to play fallout 4 VR, keep tabs on http://www.roadtovr.com/latest-vorpx...pport-planned/ instead of an official release of fallout 4 VR. I don't know if Bethesda is planning on adding official VR support to FO4 beyond the short tech demo they had. But if they do it will probably...

    Dunno but I'm ready for it. Re: Arya, the more I think there will be some smoke and mirror shenanigan resolution to this plot. I thought the whole sequence in the recent episode felt wrong and can't tell if it's a dream, Face Off: Bravosii Style or they shipped the Sand Snake writers to...

    Yep. Resource control should be either based on the fear of loss on PvP death or some structured ingame thing where you can claim a resource and have control over it for some period of time.

    Flat Earth Society is the best combination of conspiracy theorists, morons and educated trolls anywhere. It's the best example of Poe's law I've ever seen.

    Tenks stated in the amod thread that Utnayan is welching. Utnayan has one week or up till Noodleface says (whatever is later) to fulfill his lost bet or he will be permanently banned.

    Fallout 4

    Fast travel works well in these games when the game doesn't capriciously ask you to travel to all corners of the map without regard to travel costs. I mean the first mission of the game is some ardorous journey from the first city to the starting homestead. It's a big deal to move those...

    Which publication are we talking about here? Certainly if all the science and an entire field of physics disagrees with Furry, there's a paper that blows Furry's skepticism out of the water, right?

    Internet speeds don't matter, the video is rendered locally on your video card. The bitrate allowable on your display cable (HDMI, DisplayPort etc) does however and will need to grow with VR's demands. As to your question, the PC of the future will. I hope that VR continues being promising...

    I went and read it. Some pretty bad arguments there. Spiderman getting any good shots in on Capt. America in a movie titled "Captain America" is being generous.

    Virtual Reality

    The SDE isn't the problem for me. It's there if you look for it, but even if there was perfect pixel fill the resolution would still be too low. And if the 'screen' was finer but still noticeable it'd be fine. Your brain would hide it anyway. You can barely get a sense of the impact of...

    Got my CV1, tried out a bunch of stuff. Set up Skyrim via VorpX and played it a bit. Everything seems great but the resolution is just too low for me. It's a big improvement over DK2 in terms of pixel fill and the SDE, but there's no crispness to display and that low fidelity ruins it for me...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    I liked #1, but thought #2 lost its way. Thor is poorly equipped to handle betrayal, so betraying him doesn't make for a very good movie. I look forward to this though.
