Yeah, I haven't had to answer that in a while. And even then it was like 2 extra seconds to tell it "nope" and move on. As far as gems go, for a while there I used them to do a pull as soon as I had 5 of them. It's actually pretty useful to hoard until a pull event (just like P&D) because...

The funny thing about this game is that there isn't any real "new" information to be had. Maybe 1.2 will bring a new wrinkle or two but we're not talking a shit load of content for people to digest (from my understanding). I'm high on giving this game a go for a bit but I'm wary because the...

That makes no damned sense. I've still got 17 spots left. Edit: I added you earlier, you accepted. If you're trying to add me again, then, well, I guess it makes sense that it would kick it back to you.

You can see from my posting history that I am hopelessly attached to this game. While my sub has never lapsed I did take an extended break around the middle of last year (even played WoW for a bit) but there's just something about the setting that keeps me going. I dabble in pretty much every...

Oh, there's still a clear line between what you can tackle from being F2P versus P2P. I guess similar in that respect but I don't know enough about P&D to determine where the line is in comparison. I do know that you can get very far with starter units and what you pull from gems you get along...

I try out a few games every now and then but the only one I play with any regularity is Brave Frontier. It's kind of P&D lite, except no P.

I can actually get behind not showing anything at all. It's not because I'm afraid of spoilers (I'm one of those people who prefers the context of what's being spoiled, something words don't tend to convey very well), but because it's nice to not know what you're getting yourself into.

My only compliment to Bay is that he knows what he's aiming for. I'm not sure he's capable of subtlety though.

It's from a Will Farrell movie abomination called Blades of Glory. He plays a doofus (what else?) who says something is "mind bottling" instead of "mind boggling". Somehow it caught on.

Considering this last finals was basically Lebron + 11 other guys vs Spurs, it's not really a surprise. Wade's knees are a huge problem going forward, that shit just doesn't magically go away and I have to imagine the last four years of doing regular season PLUS all four possible playoff series...

There was. He eviscerated the dietary supplement industry.

I mentioned this earlier but it's not new. I mean, the name has been un-trademarked twice before. It's just that public opinion has turned in the last few years, largely due to media coverage, which was something that this didn't get the last few times. And yeah, that's good run. It's no...

Litmus test: Q: If a professional sports organization popped up today, what are the odds that they would ever be called "Redskins"? A: Less than 0. In the Year of our Lord 2014 it is considered a racist term. You can argue that all you want, but it's true. You could also argue that it's...

Color me equally surprised that Snyder hasn't jumped on this. I mean, for a guy who does his best to squeeze every dollar out of his fanbase as possible he sure is leaving a lot of money on the table.

The Level of Effort on something of that nature is probably too much going forward. Not saying it won't ever happen but they seem pretty content making the stories going forward specific to the factions as opposed to the classes.

Oricon and CZ-198 if you're going for new areas in general. I went through and looked at the major patches to see what's been added since Makeb. - 2 Daily areas - 2 Operations - 5 Flashpoints (all tactical and only 2 have hard modes) - 1 new game mode (GSF) w/ two match types and 3 maps...

In the event that anyone is interested, they're offering a 4-mo one-time sub to non-subscribers for $40. Summer Pass | Star Wars: The Old Republic

They'll appeal like they did the two times this came up before. Might have some traction to get upheld this time though. I'm actually a little surprised that the NFL hasn't really stepped in at this point. I mean, at this point it's the wrong kind of attention for a team to be getting...

I think the more relevant news is that Vince Young is retiring.

Aaaand 16m GF Operations are dead. Tomorrow's patch is going to bring it back down to 8m. Apparently whatever tech controls the GF can't handle the load, which was the culprit behind a shitload of bad juju going on.

Ugh, no. Arthur Blank looks like a seedy car salesman. Every second with him on the screen will be one second of my soul being pulled into the TV to feed his dark powers.

I agree with the last part, however I would point to the number of SOs each pitch has produced as a general indicator on how well it does against opposing batters, in which case the Slider wins out overall since on 292 pitches it has induced 52 strikeouts, versus 367 and 41. It's semantics...

Sentinals of the Multiverse is a really good game for 4-5 people. Each player represents a Hero and each Hero comes with their own deck of cards which is preformed so no deckbuilding. You face off against a villain who has various powers and such within their own deck, and you face them in an...

I'll offer up Darvish's Slider as a counter. Sorry for the weird formatting.

Hah. Double relic proc + duplicity + Crit + hitting someone not in full expertise = Holy shit. I run Darkness with my 'Sin but my Merc routinely crits for 10k+ against squishy targets with HSM.

As much as double xp weekends help line my virtual pockets, the influx of alts it creates in the warzones makes me cringe. Which wouldn't be so bad except it tends to be FOTM classes and specs run by people who are just... terrible beyond comprehension. I'm really not looking forward to the...

I'm pretty sure the cave layouts are random. My wife ran through one last night that had four or five branches and one "death drop". Phase 2 of Caves is going to be awesome if this is just a taste. 3 subterranean tiers? Hell yeah.

I'm a little disappointed in the patch today with one notable exception, that being the move with Group Finder Operations to 16-man on a rotating schedule. Everything else, from Nightmare DP to the "event" on Nar Shadaa that is a glorified credit sink to the increased PvP/GSF rewards are just...

They can be difficult to spot but an easy trick is to turn on Claimable Land on your map. They'll show up as red splotches. As mentioned in the patch notes, the few I found dont' go down far but they're pretty damn cool anyway. Bring a light source, you run out of light pretty fast.

I'll explain this in simple terms. 1. Alpha is not being reset at any point. It will become the test server once the game goes live. 2. During the Beta weekends, the Alpha server will be inaccessible in order to drive traffic to the beta servers. 3. Once a beta weekend is over, the Alpha...

Damn, in and out in two months?

Jesus, that video. High hopes man. High hopes.

Only thing I can think of is they're expecting like a $9-10m increase in the cap for the next couple of years which would basically offset the yearly hit and still allow them to operate as normal. Congratulations SF fans. You have your QB of the future.

You kidding? Her role in Hackers was A+.

Hey, maybe he has glaucoma!

Warhammer was shuttered, DAoC and UO were spun off to Broadsword and they plastered the Mythic name over one of the shittier high profile Freemium apps to come out in recent memory (Dungeon Keeper). Figure that last one was the death knell. Sucks but Mythic hasn't been Mythic for quite a while.

I'm more inclined to believe he was fired for being a shitty scout. The circumstances of his employment (through three previous GMs) and his wife's condition are just unfortunate additional facets that are going to be focused on instead of that first thing..

What's the point of being a pirate if you can't eventually own a pirate castle?
