The occult thing was nice, but I agree with Tantrik that it being in Louisiana added something unique to it. Same with Fargo exposing the northern midwest. We've all seen a lot of crime shows and most of them occur in a big city. Season 2 being in some, San Diego / Los Angeles city makes it...

I don't know how you could make a movie with Thanos being the protagonist...

That argument would carry weight if the many municipal buildings that could be covered in solar panels were. I think very few building maintainers look at the cost vs benefit of solar and decide it's profitable. And that's with the subsidies that are common. I'm hoping that as these rates...

Yep. It's like the castles in Conan or ArcheAge. We had one of the best castles in the world but they only served as a backdrop for guild events now and then. Where as our city in Shadowbane was a hub of commerce, communication etc.

Yeah the demo reason only holds water if you're making a purchase or uninstall decision within ~10 hours.

That's possible but I don't know if it'll turn out that way. Even if a rich dude were to get a garage sized 3d printer, there will probably always be more to building a tank than just 3d printing stuff.

Welp, I've found out I'm shit at mobile device games. The dog ifruit app is the first one I've ever played and I don't think I can get used to the input device (my thumbs) occluding the display.

I agree with you and don't work on side projects for the same reason you don't. However I'll reiterate my previous post that if you or I were switched into a job where we no longer do interesting work we'd naturally want to use our creativity on side projects. When interviewing someone who...

I agree, but the point of rockets is propulsion and I wonder what the disparity is.

Who made that argument?

That's cool. I'd love to see some data on how it performs vs traditional methods.

I agree. They set Kevan as being a decent person for a reason. He's going to roll in post-Cersei, make it look like he's going to be the guy to give Tommen a fighting chance, then boom, Varys strikes. Those would be more apropo, but the previous poster used a US city.

Yep. You have to be pretty dumb if you think your ethics just happen to align with what you are able to pirate. My view on piracy is this: Any time someone releases content they want you to pay for, and you get it without paying you're acting unethically. That includes streaming...

I got burned bad on crossfire (AMD's SLI) and vowed never to do it again, but I'll probably buy a second GTX970 sometime. My experience is Crossfire rarely worked for new game releases, added judder and latency and sometimes never worked for games. It also had compatibility issues with some...

SoWitcher 3: Wild Hunt, The ? GOG.comis the way you buy this that gives the most $$ to the developers, right?

Circuit Libraries | Third Circuit | United States Court of Appeals I dunno, go to the library and creep out on little kids? But seriously, there are a ton of fun hobby projects you can do with embedded software development or hobbyist electronics. If I lost my job for whatever reason and...

When they show Melisandre watching Stannis prepare for a battle, then show Jon getting shanked and then show Melisandre appear all of a sudden you'll run in here with how impossible it was and how much disbelief you have in the show now. They may, however, try to play on the battle of the...

It's goign to be fun to have a prediction contest like we had for Game of Thrones when the final season comes.

I really don't trust CD Projekt's ability to tune combat to do a first playthrough on the hardest difficulty (assuming it's ridiculous). Tecknoe, if you can't afford to buy this game then go get another job. This isn't the kind of game you pirate!

I agree in some cases. If someone's career doesn't have them doing interesting work, they have extra time and they don't do side projects then they probably don't have a passion for it. I used to do a lot of side projects before I got to where I am now. But now if I do any development outside...

Legalization of marijuana

Melisandre can teleport from winterfell to castle black anytime she wants. Your complaint is baseless. The only reason Jon doesnt' get a 96% rez is if George wants to go against his foreshadowing.

pretty much. I get a pretty finely distilled source of info for gaming in general and MMOs in detail from here.

We shall see!

I'm worried less about the focus of time making player tools for the EK and more worried that they won't stick to their vision of campaigns being the meat of the game. Even now you see all the MMO fans focusing on the EK and ACE needs to stick to their guns.

I hope that's not the direction. I want the campaigns to stand alone as much as possible and the EKs just be a loose-connection between iterative campaigns. The more tightly integrated the EK is in the campaign the more each campaigns feels less like an MMO that resets and more like a lobby...

I haven't played w3 yet, but if it's anything like w2 there's no need to play w1 unless you enjoy it. The backstory and library of characters in Witcher isn't massive like Bioware games where Mass Effect 3 was just a sequence of visiting previously introduced characters and stories.

I don't know if you're making a play on words because we're talking about ore if your phone's autocorrect is acting up again. They have to have a gold sink within the campaigns though. This can't be some GTA "earn as much gold as possible in these three months" strategy. Otherwise you'll have...

Sounds good. Is pretty much in line with what I was hoping for (players mining ore, turning it into coin, having it be a droppable resource). The two big questions I have is how much ore/gold can someone carry at a time, and how effective are their gold sinks going to be. I'm guessing the...

I'm guessing raid vs raid duels is for intra-faction fights? Too bad about player factions being removed. A lot of people in PRX were looking forward to player factions. I wasn't sure if we'd do it but it was definitely an option. That list doesn't seem to justify the 2.0 number though.

I miss Operose =( Her elderly victorian english accent made it feel like I was playing a game in the Harry Potter universe.

Victorian england... *shrug* I want a fuedal japan one.

King's Landing is probably NYC of Westeros (A District of Columbia doesn't make sense because there's not a real federal government). Oldtown is hmm.... a big city with the best university. Maybe Los Angeles or Cambridge? The Hightowers are the lords of Oldtown. Mace Tyrel's wife is a...

Oldtown is one of the bastions of power in the Reach. It's really no less seen than say, Lannisport/Casterly Rock. I think they'll investigate it more when/if Sam goes there. And now show stannis is getting a taste of what book stannis was. Book stannis was even more concerned with the...

That's another cool thing about Dark Souls. If everything is easy you'll cut through, one shot bosses and get outleveled quickly. If everything is hard you'll get wrekt over and over, and continuously level on the mobs on the way to a hard point and get stronger. Usually at some point you piece...

Also I think Samwise is going to Old Town and I can't wait. I enjoyed the build up chapters for him and you know he's going to figure all this magic bullshit out and roll up with an obsidian shooting gun or something.

Me, Tyrion and Ser Friendzone, new Lord of the Quarantine Zone are blind.

We tried code reviews. I enjoyed it. But I wrote too much code and people got tired of reviewing it all.

Would crack me up if this happened. It's so Ramsay too. But I think they'll put some plot armor on Sansa and make Ramsay be blind to her. He's obviously trying to change to be a good lordling.

I dont know what was wrong before but im hitting in the hundreds of fps now with the same settings, lol
