    Final Fantasy 16

    It's based on Eidolon which has been used a lot in the series. SD3 was basically what Secret of Mana could have been if they hadn't slashed half of the game's runtime to fit it on a SNES cart in 1993. After the Nintendo Playstation fell through, SoM was gutted on the drawing board (yeah, it...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    You're right. I gave them way too much credit. Surprised at how much everyone is sleeping on Throw Stone in here. Well, not that surprised considering the range on it is less than most creatures' aggro range anyway. If this server requires just aggro to lock rather than the player actually...

    The D&D thread

    I'm with j00t on this one, while also being politically aligned more with the assholes. Woke indoctrination can be some horrifying stuff when it's real, but also there's nothing wrong with having respect for your players and making sure they feel respected in a game. For example, since I...

    It is a waste of Kenny's talent in a sense. He'd have to lose, the match wouldn't actually be great. It would make money though. Kenny vs Ospreay III on the other hand would be an incredible match (I assume they're gonna hold back at II at Forbidden Door like they held back at WrestleKingdom)...

    This dialogue is something else, man Looks like I'm totally hosed by picking Fast Shot as a perk. Being locked out of aim mode means I can't one-shot anything mid-late game with my Desert Eagle, so I keep hitting impasses with foes I just don't have any way to beat.

    Us Shadowknight types have insta-cast agro spells starting at level 40, no item needed. Except they aren't available until Luclin. WOMP WOMP. Maybe not, if none of the usual content-crushers roll up en masse, maybe some casual guild will actually get to be the OW king this time. With nobody...

    Unless some new stupid thing pops up, Punk'll be back at the June 21st Dynamite at Wintrust Arena, the last show before Forbidden Door. Sounds like Punk/Omega is probably a go for the Wembley Stadium supershow in August. Omega would prefer to do a trilogy match with Ospreay instead so we'll see...

    The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug - Weird thing about this is that Bilbo is very visibly de-aged with CGI at some points in this one. Which is super weird because they filmed these close together. As it is, going right from one movie to the next, Bilbo looks YOUNGER in the second movie than he...

    AFAIK Front Mission 2, Front Mission 3, SaGa Frontier 2, and several early Dragon Quests are on the docket for SE remakes, would be shocked if FFT wasn't in there too because they're going all-out with 90's games now. Wonder if we'll ever get an official release of Bahamut Lagoon, Treasure...

    Yeah, literally all of the women I've met from dating apps are either 5 years older or 40 pounds heavier than their pictures. Literally all of them.

    So far the body count is 1, Brodie, and that was unrelated to wrestling. I doubt AEW is going to have any kind of legacy like that. Though Darby definitely needs to be kept away from the pills for the foreseeable future. Also I never understood why Hardcore Homecoming wasn't moved to a...

    I think GoD was closer than that and Omens was further than that. I remember GoD being like a 1 minute difference and Omens being like a 7 day difference. Not sure though, it was loooong ago. The Vish kill was separated by 34 seconds or so. Both zoned in at the same time. Both kills must have...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I liked the FFO versions of 1 and 2 a lot. Only played them once, a couple years ago during the homebody times. Too bad the PS1 didn't also get an FF3 port, it would have actually had all nine (at that time) Final Fantasy games. Drove my OCD nuts, it did. Regardless, the PS1 version of FF1 is...

    OGC was not above all kinds of underhanded tricks to get the win, that's for sure. I actually like their chutzpah. It kept the spice flowing. Later on they mellowed out a LOT once AoS was out of the picture. Too bad they probably won't be competing on any more servers, Phinny was the last one...

    Yeah there seem to be a bunch of ways to dispatch the final boss of FO1, and I'd expect nothing less. I'm gonna try to beat him in a straight-up fight, but if I can't, I'm going for the nuke option since I've raised Science some. Anyone know what level Science is needed to activate the endgame...

    Dima also single-handedly kept Phinny alive expansion after expansion by working with lower-tier guilds to help them stay competitive and keep the server population strong, knowing that if lower-tier guilds dried up, so too would OGC's recruitment pool. I don't think many people realize what a...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    That's right, Luclin was the first one OGC really competed on and they won it. Before that they did the ST thing but not much else, guild was still on the way up. I wouldn't say Phinny was only two guilds racing. There was definite potential for other guilds to enter the first tier. EoE was...

    I didn't realize ROI and FOH ever battled. I thought FOH petered out before ROI's time. Didn't ROI get started on Combine, or somewhere in that timeframe, doing their own guild progression? I remember Triality and Crimson Tempest dividing wins after FOH fell and before ROI rose. Maybe my memory...

    Sanctum - The last James Cameron movie I had left to watch. I've now seen all of them. Except he only executive produced this movie, didn't write or direct. And it shows. This is from 2012 or so when he was riding the Avatar wave and it got some hype off of that. Basically tries to be a modern...

    OGC vs AOS was definitely the biggest Big Dick Contest in EQ history. Selo was a likely second-place, but didn't have the longevity. Phinny's war went until Buried Sea, Selo's fizzled out way before then (and with shorter unlocks).

    Working on Fallout, in Necropolis now. Looks like this is a pretty short game. There are 3 main quests in the game and each one presumably only takes a few hours if you know where to go. You do the Water Chip quest first, then the other two in any order, then done. So I'mma try to knock this off...

    Can you extrapolate Mischief out over all the expansions since PoP? I'm curious as to what the population ebb looks like over time and if my preconceived notions are correct.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I think you're kidding, but I will say the Sea is actually a good place to grind without the PoP being available. Lit2 one-shots Sahagin and Kyzoku (pirates) and they attack in big posses. Pirates give a lot of gold too. So run around the sea with at least one Lit 2 caster and hit the inn in...

    A couple more FF1 notes: -The Pixel Remaster removes the Peninsula of Power from FF1. Probably not even on purpose, 'cause the Peninsula was a bug that had to do with how the NES had encounter sets in blocks on the overworld. There's a Peninsula in FF2 as well (just south of the starting town)...

    These are listed on the store now, can't be bought yet though. Is this silhouette Kefka or Terra? Cause I had heated arguments in the past with people over it. I always thought it was Kefka, most thought it was Terra. Both are seen in magitek armor early in the game.

    I don't know about Jaheira, I booted her pretty early in BG2 for someone else. Didn't like her new portrait at all (her BG1 portrait is quite hot). The Versus Books guide not mentioning anything about being able to revive Aerie was pretty weird. The rest of the time, that guide was awesome...

    Elementary school kids skew towards WWE pretty universally. AEW's demographics are the 16-40 male crowd primarily, though they're starting to finally make progress with the female demographics as well. WWE vs AEW on demographics is very similar to WCW vs WWF back in the day. WCW had a lot of...

    For the average person on here who goes hard and pushes through, it wasn't excessively difficult or prohibiting, no. For the average non-hardcore person just looking for something enjoyable to play in their 4 hours of time off every week, it's a different story. Thus I can't recommend it to...

    Aerie was my "love interest" for most of BG2 and hooked up with the hero towards the end. (Right after I turned down sex with the dark elf chick, maybe jealousy is what really did it for Aerie) Then she got kidnapped / vamped and I thought she was actually gone forever. I was kinda pissed after...

    Mulling over Wembley Stadium.

Then suddenly this Wembley...

    Looks like it was hovering stationary and the plane flew past it. Shouldn't the light reflections on the "dome" have moved around more if it was a real object though? Them staying stationary tells me it might be a trick.
