Has anyone seen this yet? They saw it playing at a local theater

Best action would have just ignored the pronoun people or blocked them, and leave it a non-issue. Feeding or poking the Twitter mob never results in anything good. It’s like Wargames: The only winning move is not to play

They could go with Quan Chi if they wanted to do a mind fuck. But I think he’ll just end up being the “Everyman” in this

Right, everyone claims they’ll do it “right”, but the rules they put in place to avoid impossible layouts typically results in a predictable layout

Twitter sucks. They’re cracking down on nude shit lately and they let virtual vigilantes run loose everywhere.

Article says a kid in the car that got hit was also killed. Plane looks like it impacted the rear of the car and spun it around. I wonder how fast that plane was traveling just prior to impact.

Eureka zone is def old school, aka fucking grindfest for XP and extremely difficult to solo. Which is why I hate that zone lol

Right. While the shield sort of defies physics, it sort of adheres to them in the sense that energy in doesn’t become greater than the energy put into it. So if some unenhanced person throws it, it will have the force they put into it. Like if a MLB pitcher tossed a ball at 90 mph and then...

Buzz on the show has been low, so that isn’t a good sign. Then again, Syfy is starved for content and I don’t think they can be super choosy

Eh, I disagree. The problem is games like IWD came out over 20 years ago. In that time, the genre (both offline, online, and even table top) have grown in scope. People have shit attention spans and a game really needs to hook them at the start. Releasing a RPG where you basically kill wharf...

I remember fucking with farmers/levelers during Classic. It was that place in Azshara that had all the Satyrs. On my lock I would charm one, tag others with it, and banish ones they were fighting. Eventually they flagged for PVP and we got into a PVP war for a while. They were horrible at...

The actress who played Zhaan on Farscape quit because the full body makeup was fucking up her health. Some people just don’t want to do major makeup heavy roles, either for comfort reasons or potential health reasons

The true test of the impact of TLOU2 will be any follow up game. TLOU2 sold on the back of TLOU. Because people loved TLOU, the sequel was virtually guaranteed high sales. If the gaming public at large truly did not like TLOU2, then any TLOU3 or paid DLC is going to show a sharp falloff in sales.

Even if SE was open to it, zero chance Blizzard/Activision would ever go for it.

Lots of advantages. You can do whatever the fuck you want with the character and don't have to be bound by pre-existing lore and/or agreements on what they can or cannot do with a character

God, I forgot the early Cardassians. That is 70s Doctor Who level costume design lol Gotta hand it to DS9, their development of the Ferrengi and Cardassians was sorely needed (even if the Ferrengi basically became a joke race, but if we are being honest, they were a joke race from day 1. They...

I barely played on any server with bots, but the ones I did they were usually dumb as rocks that couldn't hit the side of a barn or they would drive into trees and shit. Only good thing is you could do "requesting pickup" and they would listen, then you could kill them and take the vehicle if...

Ya, I find it hard to believe someone would have just blindly walked into here and touched on all those elements in their complaint with their first post without doing an iota of research on the political leanings of many of the active posters here I support the "smart shill" theory

I haven't played BDO in forever, but for FF14 it isn't so much class/setup, but the Main Story Quest that will limit your progress and what you can see. However, you can be every class on a single character, so you don't lose MSQ progress if you decide you don't like whatever job/class you're...

Cole isn't anyone in terms of the games. They'll probably just use him as the "everyman" or a movie specific character that gives them more freedom on how to use them, kind of like Alice in the Resident Evil movies.

The problem is the book is super short and there isn't enough meat there to run a multi-season show without tons of padding and changes

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.
