Just binge watched the whole season of this. Very cool how much DC Continuity and name dropping goes on in this show. I also like that they are taking time with Roy Harper and developing him as Red Arrow / Arsenal / Speedy. If they do a good job with this and the backdoor pilot for a Flash...

Today only (9/17/2013) the GAT V Pack for PC is free on Steam. Cute little piece of cosmetic DLC as a joke about GTA V not being available on PC.

I thought this was absolute shit. The whole thing reeked of "here's a pitch for an idea: the headless horseman shows up in the modern day... with ichabod crane doing a rip van winkle!!" "okay then what happens?" "... uhhhhh. Okay we make Supernatural Season 4" The previews from the next...

Yeah all this AK nerf does is dick over those of us who werent part of the blitz wave of 50s. People who were cool with doing speed runs for Myth stones and helping along new people will no longer do it at all. The trash + boss model of content creation needs to go the fuck away and it needs...

This sounds awesome but.. why are they doing this? Do they believe that offering up sharing amongst family members will lead to more actual sales?

What the hell... that looks like full feature production values but for a TV series. Damn...

I dunno... I've actually healed a Light Party when the White Mage faceplanted midboss with my Black Mage. Sure the cross class abilities arent terribly exciting, but I'm glad to have a heal.

I will say the Job/Class system seems a little odd currently given that nearly all classes only have one Job open to them (Arcanist has Summon and Scholar) and the benefit of cross class skills is nifty but mostly I find myself wanting only a couple that come from the existing subclasses for the...

It is fun to see people get shocked when I Sleep all the adds in an encounter except the one that is being Focus Fired down. They have gotten so used to the WoW-ified pussy notion of crowd control only ever effecting one mob at a time that the whole concept snaps their little minds.

His wrist:

Lots of women play healers...? "Its so fluffy!!!"

So they just don't have a queue now? I love how it says "wait until there is an opening and try again..." as if we could tell when and if there is an opening.

Given that there are zero problems on the Japanese servers it is clear that they either completely fucked up their server allocation in terms of Japan vs rest of the planet OR they partnered with someone incompetent for the NA/EU server hosting that overpromised and underdelivered.

Yeah I logged out yesterday at about 5pm eastern and just now tried getting back in and 90000 10102 etc for all characters on all servers. So clearly something is pretty significantly wrong with their network.

I will say this new engine of theirs runs extremely well on my machine which is a few years old now. I had swapped out the video card at the end of last summer, but I suspect even if I had not the game would look very pretty with a high frame rate.

Spoilering the SR4 singalong, skip to 1:05 for the full version: and yes real men use Booker fuckin Dewitt as their main character voice.

I got a RAAU when I first managed to register my pre-order code. I am guessing that the RAAEs are just incorrect euro codes applied to north american pre-orders and the best way they could come up with how to handle it was to just reissue north american ones.

He does have a damn nice narrator voice. I laughed at the "congrats...you just healed a tree"

Was just reading over some of the Enterprise season 2 bluray bonus interviews and roundtable discussions. Pretty fascinating to hear them talk about all the influences that went into the show and how that turned it into crap. Was clear that Paramount executives really had no idea what they...

I notice a big recurring theme with Japanese companies and really terrible network / web implementation... Could this be a direct result of being somewhere behind darkest Africa when it comes to broad adoption of the internet on anything but a phone?

For a joke reference: 217 is the area code for Champaign Il where Volition is based out of. (also my home town) I just laughed my ass off after getting the Don't Panic achievement

Been rewatching the first season on BluRay and while I know the original premise of the show was one-and-done after the disaster of the motion picture (which had NO business ever being made) because there was little confidence in the brand... but there are clearly some big hooks placed in the...

The area of the telegraphs does not correspond that well to the graphic. Either that or there is substantial placement inaccuracy built into their client-server-networking system. I've had to make sure that I am well outside the area subtended by the graphic in order to avoid the strikes...

This is why aggressive phasing is necessary for games at this point. Everything either seems to be either Murder at Disneyland with 10000 people all trying to kill the same rat, or wandering through the siberian tundra without so much as seeing another player for hours at a time.

I did not read it like that... I saw it as

Loki is a foe of both Thor and the Avengers, but he is pretty far down the totem pole in terms of universal badassery in the comics. I mean he is still an Asgardian and so being a god really isn't a slouch, but... I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if Marvel didn't just have a Loki movie...

Tom Hiddleston really has taken an absurd Marvel villain with a terrible costume and made him into a Big Bad. People who don't really follow comic books now think of Loki as like Magneto or Lex Luthor.

Well given that the lore has the Combine races having been hiding out on Kunark for several centuries and then escaping Exodus-style back to Antonica I would have to imagine there will be Iksar involved from the very start. Surely some of them are none too keen on Venril Sathir and decided to...

Everquest came out in the infancy of the internet as a real consumer entity. There were a couple of news sites with forums (like Noows...) but it was no where near the sort of environment that you have now where dedicated fansites datamine every single detail about a new patch as soon as it...

Tier system and unlocked abilities from additional classes (basically what was always intended with Rift...) is a very viable progression system. What they have done is simply make the 'max level' progression the main method of advancement rather than having 60 levels of whatever followed by...

Here is how I would go about class design were I in their shoes: Design a whole bunch of abilities that can function within the voxel dominated world you have invented and which fall in line with the overall basic concepts of EQ. Go crazy with concepts and implement anything you can possibly...

What defines "Everquest"? To me EQ is a massively multiplayer online role playing game that is set on the planet of Norrath. It features races such as Humans, Elves, Gnomes, Trolls, Ogres and Iksar. There is a history in which the Ring of Scale, Shissar, Combine Empire, Venril Sathir, etc...

Well let us consider the nature of combat in a more realistic world since that seems to be what they are aiming at here. It does make no sense for the big nasty monster to attack the guy in plate mail holding a shield first when they can easily go eat the healer or the cleric... so fix that...

I am very impressed by everything I saw. They learned that the old level-based themepark is just no longer interesting and their whole notion of having a more dynamic world with fully destructible everything is pretty darn amazing. As to what they have been working on? Well its this very...

It really needs the original melody to be incorporated into it, I know there are hints of it here and there but the original was a very strong tune and this is just kinda... flat.

Yeah casting of Catharine Tate for the xmas special was stunt casting of a big guest star for the holiday special in order to pump up the comedy elements. It would be the equivalent of casting Tina Fey in a special and then having her turn around and say that she was up for doing a season of...

That guy had very odd ears
