Wait, MECH as in the guild? Fucking lol, I remember them from NWN on AOL back in the day. I can't recall if they ended up in EQ1. EQ1 vanilla had a ton of the old NWN guilds running around for a time.

True, although sometimes when they attempt to manufacture a "beloved" character, they fail. Like during Voyager, they thought Neelix was going to be the fan favorite, instead of The Doctor. Sometimes shows just kind of fall into one naturally.

But this is the NFL thread, not the college football thread

That isn’t new? DS9 main “crew” was Sisko, Kira, Dax, OBrian, Bashir, and Odo. Then Worf later. All I give a fuck about is are the characters good and can the actors pull off the characters well enough? No one wants a crew full of Wesley, Kes, Neelix, and Troi

They’re trying to make money as a job. That’s why lots of non-variety streamers get trapped in an abusive relationship with a game they hate, because playing anything outside that game causes them to lose viewers. Shroud for instance loves playing grindy MMO stuff, but gets shit views vs FPS...

Twitch streamers just played the game if they liked it. The big test is does a streamer play a game outside of any sponsored time? Again the game is good, people are just doing the hate train shit like they did with Fallout 76 because everyone bandwagons this shit instead of forming their...

I remember wanting to play, but I don’t think I met the RAM requirements at the time, or maybe modem? I do recall I didn’t upgrade my RAM until Velious. Zoning used to take like 5 minutes, then I doubled my RAM and it look seconds lol

I’m sure you could do a version now, but it would be janky as fuck. Mass market wouldn’t accept it until it was seamless and there was no uncanny valley shit

Digital paper bags? At some point maybe, but that would be a ways off. That would be on the level of an AR game making you and your friends look like you have weapons/look like game characters and can have realistic AR battles in real time. Sort of like in Cyberpunk 2077 when you play that AR...

Right. It's an amazing game, that requires you have a nice PC and a nice VR setup. If there were lots of games like Alyx, I think more people would be willing to pony up the money for a VR setup. But currently there isn't enough to justify dropping over 1K on the VR stuff alone, even if you...

I’ll laugh if it ends up being the FFXIV sage in terms of weapons

Trailer struck me as X-Files meets warehouse 13. Haven’t watched it yet

Got around to watching this. Was fine for what it was, had a few funny moments and the call backs to the first film were mostly handled well. I did like how that dude just made McDoogles in Zamunda to get away from the McDonalds lawyers lol. The annoying mother wasn't in it that much in the...

Ya, the RNG to the procs never feels good, especially if you're making something with difficult to obtain materials. But if they made it too predictable, it would be easily solved with macros. Short of some reflex mini game like it's the Golden Saucer, not sure how they could get around that.

That’s just corporations in general. Who knows who and whether or not whatever metric they are using to demonstrate success (even if the metric data is flawed) impresses whoever keeps them in power or lets them climb the rungs

These ESports “metoo” situations are always tricky. DOTA got decimated last year from this, but a couple turned out to be bullshit or gross exaggerations.

You’re always going to run into content issues, because people want different stuff (hard core/xp grinders/casual). I do get the impression that COVID fucked their schedule and stuff got pushed Eureka and Bozja bored me to tears, but I do understand people like that sort of shit.

Taking breaks is fine. I plan to come back for that Moogle Tome event, though, since you can buy the FF6 Magitek mount (predator) as one of the reward options for 50 tomes. Fuck trying to get that to drop from the dungeon.

Books being canceled means Cara Dune was in them as a central protagonist I would guess

Netflix was in trouble because other content producers yanked shit. If they provide their own content that people like and people subscribe, it solves their issues Netflix has yet to really embrace the weekly content drip format, though

What a dumb clickbait article. They aren’t stopping kids, it would technically be the parents stopping kids if they set parental restrictions.

Maybe they thought that, but it wasn’t accurate. Enter the Dragon was a box office hit.

Wasn’t the original Kung Fu going to be Bruce Lee starring, but then execs at the time didn’t want to headline the show with an Asian actor as main character and got some white dude instead? OG Kung Fu with Bruce Lee would have been awesome

My favorite sniper map was the one where you start on that elevated island/mountain and have to push down a narrow road to a town. 80% of the players would just have a sniper battle between the mountain and the shore. I’d get so many kills with the barret .50

Great Value Cthulu would be the safest international choice. China's government gets its shit in a twist when there are bones and skeletons, demons aren't that far a stretch.

BC2 was massive amounts of fun I agree. That one map with the lighthouse and the coastal village? By the time that map was done, there wasn't a single house standing lol

edit: nm

Fixed for you

BF1942 was the best one. Vietnam and 2142 were great, though

Pretty much. Replace SWORD with virtually any military organization and end result is the same. Much like Monica, this felt mostly as an introduction to a new organization (although kind of an odd way to introduce it...now SWORD will have a villain taint to it, unlike SHIELD which was the good...

Ya, Monica/Photon is an interesting character, but they did feel rather wasted in the show. Beyond it serving as an origin story and a setup for CM2, she could have been almost completely absent and not a whole lot would have changed to the plot. And ya, Xmen Quicksilver just being a meta...

I think because of the escalating stakes, they've had to power up everyone a lot more than normal. At this point, it's like Dragon Ball Z. Hawkeye and Black Widow were basically the Yamcha and Krillans, while everyone else is a Saiyan or Nameckian or Android. And when you become a Yamcha...

Streaming can be very stressful if it is your only source of income 1) Requires significant time investment to be successful in most cases, especially when you include the stuff beyond the actual stream (promoting on other platforms, etc) 2) You're basically an independent contractor. Unless...

Good point, I think a lot of it has to do with age. Anyone who grew up watching Full House or all those direct-to-TV/DVD movies they produced post-Full House will know who they are. They even had video games for Gameboy based on those movies. To Ambiturner's point, they would probably be more...

You're an idiot if you don't think that certain elements or metals, and knowledge on how to best use them or exploit them, don't have an impact on the technological advancement of a society. Then couple that with an abundant supply of said mineral and you're off to the races. The...

The final stinger is significant because the Darkholdt book is basically an intelligent book that will show you what you want to see and give you instructions on how to get what you want. The catch is that the longer you read it, the more corrupted you become and begin to covet the knowledge in...

Ya, Hayward becoming some cartoonish villain willing to murder kids and crush skulls with no understandable motivation was stupid. At least Agatha we could understand her POV: She wanted power and felt like Wanda was just wasting it. Hayward wanted a Vision he could control to do...what? They...

It's an interesting thought experiment that frequently comes up when discussing advancements in technology that could replace parts of your body with artificial replacements, or the possibility of consciousness/mind transference into an artificial vessel: At a certain point, are you still you...
