    The Division

    damnit... Is it ok if I agree with qwerty? The video looked pretty. more then I think is really possible. I expect a good deal of downgrading in the finished product. But alot of the people in this thread. "revolutionary", finally a good mmo, I cant wait for this, etc. What in that...

    I paid in for alpha access, and I felt I got my moneys worth with about 3 days.

    Roguelikes and Roguelike-likes

    yeah, I kindof roll my eyes at Rogue legacy being called a roguelike. I feel its like calling borderlands an rpg because of levels, gear and skill tree. It does look fun, but Im pretty sure I would just call it a platformer. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...rker-purpose-0...

    Neverwinter: PC

    yeah. largely. I did skip some zones when I leveled though. underdark, and.. i forget, one other. There is definitely way more exp then needed. And there is pvp and foundry. Although, as I complained a while ago, neither get you craft materials or runes.

    Man of Steel

    no, to use your analogy, its more like the slutty girl inviting her friend over to her house and the friend raping her sister. Then the sister when does kick the rapist out. continues to say "fuck you, I'll do what I want", after the sister asks her to hand over the house keys. The sister was...

    Man of Steel

    In this movie-verse, Lex Luthor is 100% correct on his distrust of Superman. Jor-el sent Kal-el to Earth, knowing full well, "he would be a god". He also sent him to Earth without any means of education. Clarks ship apparently was not capable of making any use of the key, or displaying...

    Neverwinter: PC

    well. As I noted. the lines are blurred. Instancing. We have Path of Exile in the other games. and the Marvel ARPG here. Functionally, nearly identical. Shared towns, that are instanced. While the marvel one does have shared open areas as well. But thats hardly Massive, or persistent...

    When the line between mmo and just plain OM blur... so what if these games are not "full" mmos. we have those still. Rift, gw2 right over there.

    Kick-Ass 2 trailer

    I am so confused. shock value for the sake of it. horrible. weak story. no pay off to the amount of horrors commited throughout. how is that not exactly the same feel as Kick-ass 1?

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    WoW character. Typically I would just make new names up on the spot. I started a theme with WoW though. started with Calias, which was random gen iirc. but I changed a letter to get Calias. don't remember which. a male dwarf hunter. Rerolled a druid shortly after started raiding, as...

    Maybe the family dies is this one, and he just stops pretending to not be the Punisher.

    The Hobbit

    yeah. Aragorn lives to like 300-400. 88 is "prime". Frodo was 33 at Bilbo's 111th. but as noted. 17years, he sat around, so 50 when leaving Bag end for Bree. So yeah, the movies get a bit weird here. As Elijah/frodo looks like 20 throughout the movies.

    The Hobbit

    Aragorn is 87 at the beginning of Lord of the rings. Gamma is right, in the book, Frodo did take his time packing. 2931 Aragorn is born. 2941 is the start of the Hobbit. 2949 end of the Hobbit. 3001 Lotr starts, Bilbo's 111th birthday. 3018 Frodo leaves Bag end.

    Man of Steel

    Silver and golden age man. Those covers are all 1930-1960ish. notice the 10c-30c. Pretty wacky time. Captain America punching Hitler, and just all around hijinks. This was before "continuity" and prolonged storylines. 1 or 2 comic stories would happen on occasion, but mostly...

    Man of Steel

    Which is largely the problem here. If you want to tell a story about Superman killing someone. THAT is the story. The entire story should lead up to it. Have it, then deal with it. Its not that it can't be done. its that, if you do it, its the main focus of the story. not just some sideplot...

    Man of Steel

    aka. John Bryne is fucking insane. That one isn't even superdickery. that one is John Bryne is nuts. Silver age superdickery is always some hilariously complex fake out, which granted is pretty fucking cruel half the time. Sending Supergirl to live on the moon alone for 5 years... But...

    Man of Steel

    Almost exclusively in alt universes or what if's. every single time, also resulted in him: A.quitting being superman immediately afterwards, B. going insane and killing everyone, or C. 3 years of penance to cope and deal with the ramifications of the action. Also, that was hardly the most...

    Man of Steel

    Hard to tell the exact intent. Carol Ferris is Hal's Ex and Star Sapphire. Carrie Farris was that officer. Likely an intended homage, but why the change? Kindof like why Jenny Olsen for a non-character?

    Man of Steel

    Even Independence day had enough sense to have a memorial scene. And even 5% of innocent bystanders being crushed by Clark is too much. 1 is too much. you can't have that happen, then 25min later when that fight scene finally ends, have us be emotionally tied to 3 random people, who might...

    Man of Steel

    you know... it does occur to me. If Kara is 20k years old in this continuity... obviously younger cousin doesn't work. But there is someone that DOES work at being older, and has a really crazy backstory, that not many would really complain about having it be reworked a bit.

    Man of Steel

    the companion comic gave the backstory for the ship. It was a scout ship for intergalactic colonization, lead by Kara Zor-el. So, the ship itself was from the House of El, 20,000 years in the past. Its possible the suit was from then. also, possible why it was red/blue, and not the black...

    Man of Steel

    Consider this. We are told time and time again in this movie, clark is destined for greatness. lead them into the sun. etc. speech after speech. yet... If Clark had just stayed on the farm like Jonathan asked, none of this would have happened. All of the conflict, the invasion, all...

    Man of Steel

    it was poorly shot, written and edited as well, on a simply technical level. you are a bad person. Characters that exist purely for exposition. speech after speech telling us how great Supes is going to be, and never showing. I would be ok with a Snyder MK though, probably.

    Man of Steel

    was just using that as an example Character=characterization. Character=/=name. If you change the characterization, you change the character. Changing the name, doesn't. A parallel to this might be the Elite/Authority story. Superman vs the elite, or Whats so funny about Truth...

    Then its not the same character. A character is more then just a name.

    Man of Steel

    there is a fundamental problem when you think a character can changed at a whim. they can evolve, but should not just change at the whim of the author. A character is not just a name. a character is the ideas and actions given. My version of superman he dresses in black, and fights crime...

    The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (f2p MMO)

    Difficulty seems to be weird. castle level is determined by... hidden. seems to be a factor of all your upgrades. Which is kindof lame, considering, its not just defensive ones. I had a good level 5 castle. tough but possible. got a couple kills with it. I did upgrade my defense a tiny...

    Infinite Crisis - Warner Bros/DC try to cash in on LoL/DOTA popularity

    LoL broke open a new form of business model. And really pushed the Esport thing like no other. the game itself also improved many mechanics. but really it was the ftp model and esports that made it the success it is. The constant retooling of champs is often cited by devs as being phenomenal...

    The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (f2p MMO)

    is it that, or is it just, your hero doesn't level if you don't attack others, or don't research upgrading your hero. while you can keep upgrading your keep. what does paying exactly do? other then the wizard?

    Infinite Crisis - Warner Bros/DC try to cash in on LoL/DOTA popularity

    it drops gold on the ground that needs to be picked up? so can be denied? that sounds interesting. and more dynamic then last hits. Can anyone pick it up? enemies, allies, or just you? Although would make stealing harder. and give favor to melee. which is possibly good given the...
