Yeah, there is still a massive gap between pnp, and any pc rpg. Player generated content has some potential though. Minecraft, terraria, etc. Even city of heroes.

I just got around to catching up on a few. Year one, All star, and Doom. None are as good as Under the Red Hood. Which is easily my favorite. Year1 and Doom are ok. Decent watches. Year 1, I didn't like the VA much. Not a fan of Millars,"is she female? y/n, if Y, then she is a whore"...

game simply has to be designed with the death penalty in mind from the get go. it impacts every single gameplay and social mechanic possible. You can't possibly shoehorn perma death into wow. or exp loss, or item. Think about how those systems work in WoW. Exp loss. ok. But then you hit...

I've mentioned before, when I talk mmo design, I kindof imagine 2-3 very distinct mmos. We often talk past each other, as if there is only 1 mmo that should be made. when really there should be several, radically different designed ones. Its bit weird we never talk about the browers ones at...

That is a very interesting point. And something that I think needs to apply to WvW in those games. I'm not sure how we could make being a spectator/fan in a raid environment. But being a spectator/fan in a WvW, absolutely. In gw2 we can even see it occurring, when we would do those jumping...

yeah, there is some weird stuff going on here. etchazz. "wow is easy, because you die alot. EQ is hard because you don't want to die" Really think about what you are saying there. Death penalties don't make the game harder, they just make you a coward. I fail to see how that is fun at...

I made it up. Wasn't trying to give a specific value, just give the idea.

Most jobs in similar situations do not have the training costs. A high IQ person applying to mcdonalds, does not have 20k of firearms training. And people do get passed over, for being clearly overqualified all the time, in other jobs. Also, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to...

Comparing GW2 to ToR... I just don't even know... Keep chasing that dragon. You will never catch it. I'm not going to say GW2 is perfect. there are clearly missteps. but its still a HUGE leap forward, when most other mmos are taking steps backwards.

Had to look up fraccum. that is awesome. No idea what game you are looking for though.

Incompetence in the hands of civic leaders is pretty terrifying.

Ledge is super quick. a boss, bunch of elites. 1 path. pretty easy as long as that boss doesnt nuke you.

what is a newspaper?

Poverty and high population density.

That was the straw for me. Final fantasy died for me at about 23 dodges. Fuck this, why? I have better things to do, this is not fun.

yeap. pretty much what I expected. like half are LA county.

Story telling is all about conveying ideas. How can you watch a movie and not think about the concepts behind it, and characters motivations?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datab...crime-us-state DC, Louisiana, and Missisip are pretty much way out of line with everywhere else. Cali needs a breakdown. its too big.

the vast majority. then suicides #2 iirc. that is generally why any comparisons to other countries and their gun laws is stupid, . Those countries do not reflect the social or economic situations of our large cities.

yeah, know. we all want to say, but our games!? and we turned out fine.. Zelda, mario, street fighter, etc. later doom. our games, were not 95% Call of Duty clones. Same when you talk about Japan and their crime rates. The FPS is not remotely as big over there, as here. Can you...

well, some obviously go through a glam phase. "omg IM a Gurl, and I can wear all the stuff I've wanted too". its like they are a 19yr old, the first time on their own. however, its pretty obviously when even the normal ones would go a bit overboard. As you say, a "real" woman is sexy...

No. there is are Grey Jedi already. and that is separate. Light side is Order. Dark side is Chaos. Jedi are more sensitive to massive mood swings from influence for the force. The Jedi suppress their emotions to stay calm and serine. Dark Side embrace these emotional outbursts. Which...

We can only assume the rules just don't work the same in their universe. As really, both philosophies are kindof stupid. I kindof wanted to write a story of a Jedi that found a Sith Holocron learned the Sith Oath, and lost faith in the Jedi, was kicked out. But did take it in another...

dude, Im taking zyrtec for my allergies. I also need to take psuedoephendrine. Neither is a placebo,just because neither fixes the problem alone. In fact, neither actually fixes the problem at all. they just treat the symptoms. Its not ineffective. its simply not all-encompassing.

Nah, man. That totally happens. And yes, is pretty much as hilarious as it sounds. Its basically the same as the guys that are chameleons. Oh, you are in a band? yeah, I play guitar.(aka, I bought one, and play 3 notes once every 4 weeks) Oh, you like to go camping, yeah, I go hiking once a...

Ok, this makes more sense now. I was thinking her name actually was Goliath, and that would have made the desire to change it on FoH be more understandable. But, just Tuco cleansing infractions I guess.

I think any D3 defenders clearly did not play this or Torchlight. Trying them first, really highlighted just how devoid of any creativity, or understanding of the genre D3 was.

But do you like yourself?

I don't think that is enough for dilation.

I start to care when I see someone acting erratic. I've known too many suicides, divorces, etc. I am not a psychologist. But I am also not a child. I don't air my dirty laundry, or that of my friends on the internet. But I know more about what you are going though, then you think, I...

Other. superman.

I don't think you need to invent a reason. Having low self esteem from not having the right body would be pretty natural by itself. As well as the peer pressure, and lack of acceptance.

I don't think you know how low self esteem manifests. And I certainly never said crazy. thinking depression, self identity issues, esteem. Craving attention, and showing off is NOT a characteristic of being confident or arrogant. Cam girls do not do it because they are self assured. I am...

Fractal change sounds good. Was kindof a dumb implementation earlier. You will be able to set Fractal level to the level any anyone in the party now. And anyone equal or below that level will get +1 to fractal level.

Pretty sure I enjoyed blitzball more then the rest of 10 as well. haha.

A bit concerned actually. Looked over RL pic thread. changing hair color, outrageous/flashy makeup. bad angle faceshots. boob shots. The insistence on the femme name. typical desperate for attention and low self esteem. Seriously, the behavior you see in 19 yr old cam whores. Is she...

http://www.comicsbulletin.com/column...tists-of-2012/ saw this today. A good list of some of the best art this year. And good books. Check out Bedlam, glory, Manhatten projects, Prophet, Orc Stain, Saga, Hawkeye, etc.

eh. I can't say I understand why someone would feel the need to insist on a gender identification on the internet, and especially a game related board in the first place. (ahem. attention whoring...) no one cares. Outing oneself as female, (trans or actual), serves only one purpose. Looking...

Manga is not going digital. Manga is getting pirated and laws for stopping it cross country are pretty shitty. Comics are getting pirated too.... but you don't exactly have mangastream for comics. And if there was, it would get shut down immediately. (scans daily) File sharing sites on the...

yeah, was that a confirmation? My perception of time is shit.. but seriously hasn't it only been like 5 months since starting? She's still going though that ridiculous purple hair, makeup hyper rebel/fem phase, ffs.
