Reminder that First Light releases tomorrow. Standalone DLC \ expansion for inFAMOUS from the point of view of Fetch

Xbone : MadPsience

The season did get pretty damn dark and the world certainly has undergone a lot. Having the Air Benders become Jedi Knights is a pretty cool way to recast the nature of the traditional nomadic existence of the Air Nation. I can see now why they went digital-only with the show because it...

The celestials on the Timeless Isle do drop high ilevel gear. Its very much a crapshoot in terms of what you can earn from them, but even one of those items can boost your ilevel significantly

I saw that article the other day. It really is quite impressive and clearly a labor of love.

They killed off Jean Marsh's character Sara Kingdom in "The Dalek Master Plan" but it is arguable as to whether or not she counts as a companion as her whole tenure was inside that 12-episode long story.

Well this is something I had never heard of before... releases Oct 10th and looks quite interesting. I'm guessing it will not be a very wide release given the lack of buzz to date.

Is there a way to port to the other players in the console version without first porting back to town?

That is good to hear, although after playing other games (notably Wildstar) it feels strange to stand still so much in WoW.

Turlough was awesome. He really should have had a couple of Tegan-less episodes before getting the boot in Peri's first story.

On the plus side they are rapidly running out of D-list S.H.I.E.L.D. characters to bring into the show...so they will have to up their game by default soon.

I played a resto shaman in BC and then used that character as a JCing alt since running with Elemental specs. I really scratch my head at the change back to motionless casting for shaman in WoD. I read their logic and reasoning, but from a quality of life standpoint I just don't see it. For a...

In Sleeping in Light when:really hit me hard.

Since she showed up in the first episode of the last series and then did the mid-series xmas special plus the 50th and the regeneration xmas special she ends up being part of the series for quite a while. Remember that Rose was only in two series (1st and 2nd), Martha was in the 3rd and Donna...

Console games or Board/Pen and Paper games make more sense as new forums only because console tends to make up a substantial part of Other and board games seem to be scattered around from Other to Books etc.

There were many people who saw a lot of Babylon 5 in Mass Effect. I think it is because Mass Effect has been so creatively successful that has prompted JMS to consider a rebooted Babylon 5 with better production values and a streamlined plot.

They announced the premiere: Oct 3rd at 9pm for the 1 hour double-episode launch. Then the regular time will be Monday at 9pm starting with episode 3 on October 13th. This is a bit of a surprise as originally they had said there would be a special premiere this fall and the show would go to...

I applaud them for taking their time and letting the experiences with Landmark translate into actual lessons learned, however the development timescale on EQNext is going to be really damn long as a result.

Hardcoded factions are just plain terrible. They increase your content development effort by a wide margin as you need to craft separate-but-equal content for both factions and provide almost no actual value. Look at WoW and SWTOR for example, at no point are you actively in conflict with "the...

I just read Elantris and yeah its clear that he has gotten much better over time. His earlier works are fueled by persistent cockteases of really awesome cool things that magic can do and which you only see in the last couple chapters whereas his more recent works, while still teasing the cool...

I quite like their approach with respect to items as well as their notion of class abilities. The examples they gave of items which grant passive synergies rather than simply +gooder stats intrigues me. The best items are the ones that open up new possibilities rather that simply boosting your...

Technomages feature prominently in Crusade.

Since I'm coming into it very late to the party I had presumed that any changes they were making to the Alliance story had already happened. I mean it is possible that the cutscenes are leaving out all sorts of really interesting plot interactions, but I really am not seeing it in the actual...

Yeah Fox retains those rights, and there is currently no love lost between those media giants.

Im pretty sure that Blizzard has no actual lead content developers that play on the Alliance side. Metzen being blatantly Horde-aligned is well known and painfully obvious, but in each expansion it seems as if they frame out the Horde version of the story first and only then sketch out alliance...

I really like what I am seeing with the class and ability system. It seems dynamic and more importantly makes sense within the context of the universe.

All the videos are done in the dark elf "city" that was made by players. I have a feeling that very few environment artists / zone creators are working on this.

Not seeing a lot of improvements from last year

Well the dark elves do kinda look like Skeletor now...

The portals and gameset objects seem very handy. Well crafted.

Being able to design your own 'battleground' is pretty darn sweet.

I am liking their overall style with Landmark. One must assume that they are sharing resources with Next

Dark Elves have horns now?

After this expansion can we hopefully have a moratorium on anything to do with orcs for the next 10 years? How about dwarves, or elves (night and blood), or even worgen and gnomes.

I wonder if they will mention an effort to release content faster at Blizzcon this year? As I recall they get the question often enough and everytime apologize and say they are implementing new tech or new design teams or something to make it faster. I even think they said something about it...

The real story is that they were able to get away with it with minimal subscriber loss. They are currently raking in tens of millions of dollars a month for literally nothing other than keeping the already existing and fully depreciated hardware running. Its one thing to have a profit engine...

So 14 months after the release of the last content patch the launch of the new content comes. That's pretty extremely lazy

That was just the first episode of the animated series. Nice how they use Varian and Maraad as the narration and establishing scenes since otherwise it would just be Orc Orc Orc and Orc. So 4 more episodes of the animated series. No more than one per week I suspect so launch is at least a...

"get the whole experience moving.." Yes please do that.
