    Neverwinter: PC

    The game gets noticeably more difficult in the late 20s and by the 40s it really requires that people play their roles... unfortunately the early part of the game that resembles 6 year olds playing soccer does nothing to teach them their roles. With competant people the dungeons are a...

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    Okay 'Michael' is awesome.

    Neverwinter: PC

    Something has to be wrong then. When I first launched the game back in alpha I have a vague recollection of what you are describing as the game refused to accept my resolution settings + was streaming client so it was using only the crappiest textures possible. Did a level 38 dungeon this AM...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Well I can say that this past weekend during the founder head start the game was smoooooth as glass and running perfectly except for a fuckup with the Daily quest resets yesterday. I find the game to be really quite attractive and the art style to have a very western high fantasy aesthetic...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Correct. The game is intended to be only one server like Champions and STO are, but they divided into three for the launch to try and control the massive hit on the servers caused by launch. After things settle down they will all merge, this is why guild names have to be unique across all...

    Doctor Who

    I have to agree that all of this is leading up to some big mind fuck, and it has to be a particularly big one because we are already accustomed to them with Rose and the Doctor Donna etc. I have a suspicion that the 50th Anniversary special is going to feature three doctors: 10, 11, and 12...

    Defiance (Syfy April 2013) TV Series and MMO

    This episode was written by Rockne S Obannon and Michael Taylor... both of which are capable of doing AMAZING quality work... what the fuck??

    Neverwinter: PC

    Here's the thing : You can do a lot of things with money but you cant just go to a webpage or an auction house and plunk down your Visa card for the best gear in the game. Money gets you: Better companions, better mounts, fancy clothes, tradeskill materials, respec vouchers and such...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Cryptic has experience with STO and Champions though so they must have some baseline success model anticipated with the pricing. Fanbois on the forums insist that additional classes and paragon paths will be free, which I scratch my head at. Worth noting that you can sell your Astral...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Right now they essentially have one of each basic archetype plus one joke. Healer : Devoted Cleric Tank : Guardian Fighter DPS: Trickster Rogue CC / AE dps: Control Wizard Joke: Great Weapon Fighter Technically GWF is supposed to be a striking tank but in reality it seems to do less...

    Defiance

    I think this game may break the record for collapse of an MMO title. Between the hacks and the lack of content the place is a complete wasteland. Suits the atmosphere of the genre but not the concept of a multiplayer game. You'd be excused for thinking that you are just on a poorly chosen...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    This was Rift's biggest failing and something that should be carefully examined by other designers as part of the post mortem. The principle of near infinite diversity simply did not pan out because it boiled down to play the win spec or fail. God help you if you wanted to play a mage and...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    I could understand wanting to avoid releasing in the U.S. today if there was a major release they were avoiding to have maximum impact... but there isn't. They could have had this weekend and the entire first half of may completely to themselves. As it is they got two weeks until they collide...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    I am still a bit confused by the decision to release this wide internationally more than a week before releasing in North America. I suppose it was done to try and offset piracy with the belief that the American Consumer would rather wait and see it in glorious digitally projected splendor, but...

    From the Future with Love

    Cyberpunk type cop webseries. Pretty decent considering the small crew making it, nice dystopian vibe to the whole thing.

    Stick a fork in it... I wish it wasn't the case, but it does seem to be finished.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    The part they cut out of the film had the Klingons showing up right after Kirk's dad suicides to cripple Nero's ship and taking the ship plus all the romulans and putting them in prison when they won't reveal how the ship works... fast forward 20 years and Nero breaks out of prison and...

    True these are the same folks who charge $25 for a starship in STO... Point well taken.

    Neverwinter: PC

    The soft launch of this begins tomorrow for the people who shelled out $200 for the "I love the Drow" pack. The $60 folk come two days later and then the hoi polloi jump in 3 days after that. This is the 'open beta' period but with no more wipes once the open beta starts and it being F2P...

    SWTOR

    I was kinda expecting Lord Cytharat to become a new companion for the expansion...imagine my surprise when he just gets sent to the hospital and never comes back. I was a bit shocked that the expansion seemed pretty cool and yet very short.

    DC Nation (Green Lantern, Young Justice, Teen Titans Go, Beware the Batman)

    Having seen the first episode, it is much better than I was expecting. The gag with Raven being a fan of My Little Pony (which Tara Strong also does the voice of Twilight Sparkle) was pretty epic just because you would never expect Raven of all people to watch something like that.

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    No one asks Christians to condemn Christian extremists because they don't need to... they condemnation has already happened. Megachurches that take money from naive elderly? Condemned and ridiculed. Westboro Baptist? Condemned and ridiculed everywhere. Mormons? Condemned, ridiculed, and...

    Defiance (Syfy April 2013) TV Series and MMO

    The makeup for the Castithan, Irathient and Indogene got better this first episode of the actual series, so maybe between the filming of the pilot and the start up of main photography on the series they had more chance to refine their craft. The wife had always looked good, but now looked more...

    SimCity

    Played last night after the 2.0 patch... Better but still broken beyond belief. Streetcars and Buses now prioritize people who have been waiting the longest, but this means that they all rush across the entire city towards each 'most congested' stop like 3 year olds chasing a soccer ball...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Apparently a significant number of the Rift peoples went over to Wildstar? Someone really should have a playbook section of LinkedIn dedicated to who is working on what now.

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    In the category of "you really couldnt make this shit up" : http://boston.com/metrodesk/2013/04/...svO/story.html TLR -- Triple homicide that took place on Sept 11, 2011 involved friends of Tamerlan Tsaraev who went to Russia right afterwards. Seems quite plausible that he and junior...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Ugh. I hope they stay away from the mod-to-win autopilot that WoW fell into. At one point I swear my UI was getting angry with my inability to push the buttons it wanted and was desperately seeking a way to take over the keyboard.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I was really enjoying Pandaria up through the first couple weeks of the Isle of Thunder stuff, but ToT has just drained all will to play out of me. I went from doing full Valor and clearing raid LFR content on three different characters each week to not even logging in anymore because of how...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Quite possibly, but his whole profile reminds me very much of a guy from college who did pretty much all those same things except was catholic instead of muslim and he finally came out a couple years ago. But not until after beating his then-girlfriend to the point where she had a miscarriage...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Looking at all the bio material on the elder brother Tamerlan with the combat sports, the not wanting to be shirtless in the gym, overall attitude and domestic violence stuff along with his very euro clothes style and then the adoption of radical islamic beliefs... I am getting a self-loathing...

    Gun control

    The bigger issue is that the federal system of government is currently fucked. By requiring a supermajority of 60 in the senate for EVERY VOTE the entire system is not only not a democracy, it isn't even really a republic anymore. If we take the vote on only the background checks and...
