    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Remember that case from forever ago where some guy was seeing EQ characters IRL and his mother was blaming the game or whatever? I wonder if he saw stuff like that augmented reality demo

    The Mandalorian

    That's actually a good point people miss: The Mandalorian helps engage NEW fans to the IP, while at the same time keeping most of the old fans. Clone Wars (and to a lesser degree, Rebels) also helped to do that. The sequel trilogy never really got what made Star Wars tick, so it failed to bring...

    Who fucking cares if they are updated Xena/Hercules shows? Those shows were awesome. Not everything has to be an art house favorite

    The Umbrella Academy

    At least that NYPost article clarified the situation (Ellen wants to be Elliot now). Most news sites had a title of “actor Elliot Page comes out as transgender” and my first thought was “who the fuck is Elliot Page?”

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Conan and Witcher has nudity also. They won’t ban for it unless you are heavily focusing on it. If tits or songs just happen to show up, you’re safe as long as you don’t zoom in or whatever lol

    Portal - Reloaded

    Looks like a time travel portal, given that the lab is in ruins and interactions you do in the present show up in the future, but interactions you do in the future don’t impact the present.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The problem is that ratio diminishes over time - perceived reward is lower as you play the game longer, but the travel time remains the same, at which point the travel time becomes a barrier that starts to outweigh the reward. This happens in every MMO ever created, including EQ1. Getting to...

    I didn't consider Mara Jade. That would make old school fanboys shit themselves if she showed up lol

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    It's the type of game model. You have the Lobby->Instanced adventure games that are story driven to a degree (Destiny, Anthem, Monster Hunter, Division, etc) and you have the survival model that are open world, more sandbox in nature, and don't really have an 'end' (Conan, DayZ, 7 Days to Die)...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    The next evolution of MMOs already exists, it is just that people don't recognize them as such because they aren't "massive". Smaller server populations, more instanced session based gameplay is the current trend. Subscription MMOs in the vein of WoW or FFXIV are definitely not the model...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    You can stuff multiple villains in ONLY if you don't have to do an Origin story for them. Spiderman 3 had to do origins for Venom and Sandman and Goblin 2.0. The problem is that very seldom do you have the chance to have the villain recur multiple times within the same "universe" (usually...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Eh, competition is good. It gets other nations off their asses and gets them to push the envelope. I want us on the moon again or Mars before the 2020s are over.

    The Mandalorian

    He is the only logical choice, though. Thawn being sought probably boils down to 2 reasons: He has Ezra, or she suspects his involvement with rebuilding the Empire. I could see her being more passionate about trying to find Ezra. Having Luke show up would work well since this show has a much...

    I've seen Shroud do that sometimes...he will just do random ad rolls lol

    Twitch.tv

    Twitch is signing larger streamers to contracts that require them to run ads, so you're beginning to see some streamers either plan ad breaks and make sure nothing happens during them, or if the game they are playing doesn't really let them do that, then try to guess what a "boring" spot will be...

    The Mandalorian

    I agree that if Luke is brought in, it will be a S3 deal. Mando isn't taking place that long after RoTJ, so Luke wouldn't be a hermit drinking blue milk yet and would be actively trying to get more info on the Jedi and starting to gear up for resurrecting the order.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That probably plays a big reason on why their raid encounters are usually much better tuned then WoW's: you're limiting the number of variables you have to account for, so it is easier to balance and adjust over all.

    I just realized something: Pedro Pascal used a spear in GoT, and now he has one in this show lol

    The Expanse

    My theory: Season 6 they get Peaches or Drummer to pilot the Rosi. Gives both characters a bit more to do. Drummer would have more piloting experience and be a better fit, but if they need her more for the Belter plot, then Peaches could be a better fit than someone like Bobbie (hand wave...

    Interesting, Non Political News

    Diabetes seems like a reasonable bet, especially if it is poorly controlled. Amputation due to peripheral artery disease/nerve damage, or getting some type of infection due to foot ulcerations, or (I forget the name of the condition) your bones become super fucking soft and even walking can...

    Gina is (usually) smart about what she posts. You can tell she tries to push the line a bit to troll the haters, her feed isn’t 100% political, and you can tell when she is presumably getting slapped on the wrist and told ‘no’. One meme she posted related to COVID lockdown vanished pretty damn...

    Books 7+ almost feel like a sequel vs a main continuation of the same running story, so to speak

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Lol the OP in the Blizzard thread is laughable and is either a child or someone who went into debt going to a liberal arts college and thinking he is owed any creative or arts related job. “He has no formal background!!!”. Well no shit. Welcome to real life.

    No, you keep contents of scrap box and can still access them, you just can’t add to it while FO1st is inactive

    Yes, there is a massive time jump of decades. Plus the set pieces would have been even pricier.

    The Expanse

    No, one book left to go. Presumably season 5 = book 5, so 6 will close out that arc. Fortunately, you can craft a good finale with the ending of book 6. They would have to kill off Amos somehow...recasting would be fucking odd, but it will feel off not having him. It will probably be some...

    VA and Life Action are also different beasts. Bo Katan was easy because Sackoff does live action primarily. Plus Ashoka is a major character, so it makes sense they would want a more established actor

    Call of Duty 2020: Black Ops Cold War

    Ugh. I was driving whole game, we were doing well. Top 3. I jump out quick to call a airstrike on a stalled truck, then some other dude jumps in to drivers seat and chases another truck into a dead end so we die to gas. GG. I fucking hate idiots who don't understand the fucking gas circle...

    The Mandalorian

    Absolutely. Movies basically have to be a more or less self-contained entity with a clear story path progression. Good to tell one individual story, but doesn't leave a lot of space to world build or explore tangents. TV gives you a lot more freedom to experiment and really beef up world...

    Thrawn would be a fantastic "big bad" and they already laid the groundwork for him in Rebels, although I have to wonder if they might just save him for another SW show.

    Call of Duty 2020: Black Ops Cold War

    PUB games in Armored Royale are so frustrating. If you follow simple rules, it's pretty easy to be successful 1) The gas is super fast, if you ignore circle movement, you will die. There is no way to outrun it on foot unless you're on the thin side and already close to the edge 2) Stay with...
