If an individual in Paleolithic era Africa did not have a desire to eat fat and sugar rich foods, they would not have survived, and would not have had children. We would not be here having this conversation, and the world would be a much better place.

Edit: decided not to troll. Too lazy.

I'm just not sure how you can discount the significance of evolution and survival in the development of gender division, especially in species who live in groups. Male humans are physically stronger, and have developed roles that exploit this reality. Female lions are physically faster, and have...

...uhhhhhh Everywhere? Every day of your life? Across the entirety of the planet, in every known species? Ever? What is it you are looking for when you say 'direct'?

And you continue to be totally wrong in saying it. Politically correct, but wrong.

Jesus Christ this chimp discussion is ridiculous. There are nomadic 'pre-agricultural' societies alive and well in 2014 that give a pretty damn accurate picture of human behaviors 15,000+ years ago. Read a book.

Obviously the model needs some detail work, but I still love that Kerran. Especially when it's compared to that boring EQ2 catman

SOE live is just an excuse to go to Las Vegas and bro-down.

Artist got $35K for two weeks of no work, says developer of failed Kickstarter game | Polygon feels

Welcome back. Shovel, no contest.

So there's been some chatter about a few of us being interested in attending SOE live next year. It should be a big year for EQNext news, and a lot of us are pretty excited. If enough of us are interested, we could probably get some crazy good deals for booking as a group. Obviously we can't...

Honestly... If they make some key changes... This game is gonna be really really good. The class system and combat are fucking awesome compared to almost everything out there besides the super asian MMOs.

770k total box sales isn't hard to believe for me. 770k active subs? That sounds totally ridiculous.

I'm not expecting much in the way of EQN information. From the way they talk in the landmark live streams, they are still figuring a lot out.

Global agenda is made by hi-rez... And that studio can eat my chode

They've said that there will be below ground points of interest that are static. Cave systems that open on to them, however, will change periodically. Just because an entrance to the Void Demon's lair was beside the river last week, doesn't mean it'll be there next week. The lair is still there...

This thread was dead, then a short post-E3/MK8 circlejerk. But you're right, I'll stop upsetting the fanboys.

Just because Nintendo didn't develop their Netflix app does not mean they are free from blame in the situation. You think McDonnalds would allow their customers to sit on shitty stools in their restaurant? I mean... They didn't manufacture the chairs. Is it their responsibility? They sell...

Just because you don't think of Club Nintendo as an incentive program does not mean you are correct. At its core that's what it is. That's why you get 60-80 coins for a game purchase and 10 for a survey. Also, who the fuck would wait multiple years for a game to release for free on PSN rather...

Ya just spoke with the wife. Pretty sure we are good to go for next year. Start an 'SOElive 2015 trip' thread in the EQ sub forum maybe?

They are very comparable. The 'free' downloads are incentives to continue purchasing goods/services from each respective company. One system is modern, tailored to current customer value perceptions. One is dated, and totally out of touch with their customers. Nintendo is plagued by this problem...

I'm not really angry as much as I am frustrated. I like nintendo and I'd like them to succeed. It's in my best interest to openly criticique their customer incentive programs, because I think it will make them more money. More money to make more of the great games I love.

No, I do. It's $65 at Walmart right now. Mario Kart 8 | Walmart.ca

I'm probably gonna go next year

Uhhhh they did that because their system is shitting the bed (due in large part to the out-of-date business practices I pointed out above) not because they are 'generous'. They attached value to their first real system-selling piece of software to move units. It was a reactionary move to appease...

It's not so much about complaining as it is about criticizing their terrible business practices. There's a lot more going on than weak hardware at Nintendo that keeps them playing second fiddle to Microsoft and Sony, and this is a perfect example.

They are both incentive programs

There is nothing free about becoming a club Nintendo elite status member. You have to spend a minimum of $240 annually to achieve gold. Double that for platinum. Then Nintendo rewards you with a $10 digital title from 15 years ago. Sony? $50 a year gets you like 20 current titles over the...

Fucking Nintendo. It costs hundreds of dollars to get platinum status every year and they give you a digital copy of Earthbound as incentive? fucking stupids.

Better call whoever made the model on the unity store and ask him to make a femalolol

Why the shit haven't they announced the club nintendo rewards yet. This is another reason why Microsoft and Sony are grinding Nintendo into the dirt. They realize their tech is almost identical and that they have to rely on service to differentiate. Their customer interaction and retention...

So he made every quest in vanilla then?

*twitch*

I think gonna take him way longer than that for his first build when you consider research time. Combine that with the (small) risk factor, and $50 is easily justifiable for me.

So is this gonna be any good or what?

Dude... Your local nerd shop will build the thing for $50 and give you a 30 day guarantee. I haven't built my own rig in a decade. It's just not worth it, unless of course you think it will be 'fun' (it won't be). Back then it was major cash, but in the era of Bestbuy, they can't charge very...

Haters gonna hate man. EverQuest has always been a massive innovator in the MMORPG space, and continues to offer excellent value to subscribers.

As an insider, whats the reasoning behind 'Spectacular Blade of the Crouching Tiger" itemization? Are they procedurally generated or something and it just makes it easier than crafting items with actual identities? Of all the places to save labour cost, this doesn't make much sense to me...
