    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm was looking around but has anyone really done this..? I mean literally pull the plug, clean house, and announce a grand reopening? I really think that took a pair and if they make anything from this, it should really be commended. I think it also goes back there is no such thing as bad...

    Pacific Rim

    Same here.. I really didn't line up Pacific Rim with anything else was simply because I didn't think it was similar to Voltron, Power Rangers, etc. Now, if 5 or so Marines got in some animals and formed them together at the end of the movie to make a larger robot then yeah, I would have made a...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I feel the same way but you know what.... I have found myself looking for more and more at what people are saying about this game than any others. Looks like I'm already getting caught into the potential hype. Maybe it is where I passed on the last few hypes and i'm getting suckered in by the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Seems reasonable. If everything goes to the max time or close to... this puts release around June. I think they are advertising mid Q2? Like the fact two phases have the NDA lifted which should give everyone 4-6 weeks to talk it out. The more my friends and I looked at this the more we...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    If the beta turns out halfway decent i'm sure you may get some bites and I wouldn't care to help but there is just so much uncertainty with this game.

    The Hobbit

    This is freaking hilarious.... btw

    The Hobbit

    I actually went to see this for a third time this weekend since my wife surprisingly wanted to catch it before it left the theatre. I am still a little miffed at the negative criticism. Maybe I went in with different expectations. I cannot count the times I have read The Hobbit, maybe more to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I have always quietly hoped and cheered for Final Fantasy as a MMO probably due to my love for the franchise from growing up. FF4(US 2) and FF3 are still some of the best gaming experiences I can remember. I look through a different set of eyes maybe as some because I played EQI for so long...

    EQ Never

    This is it in a nutshell. Ultimately it will come down to some kind of market and consumer research reports and bunch of suits around a table. Just as previously stated, it's not profit anyone is looking for it is maximizing profits. Right now they like the bigger barrel. The preference is...

    EQ Never

    Lemmi, I'm with you. It's kind of a stretch but overall correct. I'll springboard off your AC example. I think what I enjoyed the most in those situations is people knowing you were there, talking as they traveled across the zone or maybe just helped you out for the next spawn. I can...

    The Hobbit

    All the people doing this is getting exactly what they wanted... some air time. CNN has nothing to talk about and if you look at the negative reviews on RT, it is mainly the reviewers that people dislike the most and have a history of trashing decent movies. I think its hilarious that people...

    Guild Wars 2

    That's the whole deal with shops. People really underestimate just how many people will buy from shops just for the novelty of it. To some people, dropping $20 or even $50 is minuscule at most. Especially when they can justify it by not having a monthly subscription. I don't mind shops as...

    Guild Wars 2

    Yeah, I was speaking about LoL in more of a business/developer model. Essentially they have someone coming into the meetings, conveying someone's vision, and prioritizing issues a,b, & c. They seem to have it together. That is all I meant. I kind of felt this way when Scott was over at EQII...

    Guild Wars 2

    You take into consideration all the complaints in this topic (GW2 and TOR) and you compare it to a game like LoL.... The LoL/Riot team balances countless champions and not just old ones but introduce new champions pretty often. To translate that into what MMO's are failing to do is focusing...

    Guild Wars 2

    All this being said I believe we can all acknowledge why LoL is so successful. It's not a MMO I understand but how many games can actually offer a unique, good time and camaraderie day in and day out...? Someone in the MMO industry is going to have to step up and step up soon...

    EQ Never

    I don't know... I can see what he's saying. When he says "they're in that style", that's true. People can say what they want but EQ was pretty well the ground work for a bunch of people saying, "Wow, we can do that and even better AND make millions of dollars!" In my opinion, Blizzard has...

    EQ Never

    At least Smed doesn't seem ignorant. I like the nod to LoL. What they have done under the radar (somewhat) has been amazing. A year ago, you would not have seen any mainstream advertising or product placement/displays for LoL. Now look at them... I would hate to know just how much money they...

    The Hobbit

    I somewhat disagree though I do see the point of the prequel statement and this movie not being "The Hobbit", sure it isn't as light hearted and it veers away from a true children's story but, I think it was a catch 22. Including all the extra elements to provide a clearer story I thought...

    The Hobbit

    My son absolutely loved the graphic novel which is actually really good. He was 4 the first time I read it and still likes it now at 5. I am willing to bet we went through the spiders, wolves, and gollum no less than 20 times a piece.

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    I would still rather see either EQ (by SoE) true Classic and/or DAoC vanilla before this.... just my opinion.

    I went to the midnight showing and I was pleasantly surprised how much I did like it.

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    I think Brad's problem is a lot of what happens to many actors and actresses (well anyone with one good idea) and that is he doesn't want to go down in history as a one-hit wonder or a one trick pony. However, some people make good livings and even go down in a lot of books for their single...

    I would love to keep the 80's movies going as they have some of the best moments but I honor of The Hobbit opening this evening, i'm going with my favorite LoTR moment....

    Pacific Rim

    I love movies like this.... when work or school is stressful, maybe just life in general, just go to movies like this and enjoy the you know what out of them. I think it looks pretty good regardless. I can't see why it wouldn't be worth a matinee' price..?

    Everquest II

    EQ2 has been the most drastic roller coaster of any game I have played. I'm probably in the minority that played at the beginning and actually toughed it out for several years. It was pretty rock bottom in the beginning and then the PvP servers were a solid spike. Afterwards there was a lot of...

    Everyone see on Twitter where Smed announced they let the EQ and EQ2 teams see EQNext for the "first time"? Do we really need someone on the inside right now that could throw us some anonymous information. I would really just like to know how much is done...

    Guild Wars 2

    We have one week of school left before I get about a month off and now that GW2 has some time under its belt, I was curious how you would compare the GW2 PvP experience to say, Rift's? Looking for a MMO to spend Christmas break goofing around on but, I've read great things regarding Rift's...

    EQ Never

    I think if I could ask for anything, I would want everything to impact everything else and the player base to rely on one another. (Especially in early game.) Player made items should be a primary source of gear leveling up with the exception of a nice piece of gear here and there...
