    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Just watched the video. Given their track record, the next year will be spent increasing graphic detail of mountains, even going so far as to show dust swirling off of the rocks themselves in the windy climates, followed by some massive announcement + video of them showing it off with great...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I always thought Joppa was a big asset for their team because he came across in these interviews as someone who seemed capable of executing Brad's vision. As someone who cut their teeth in the MMO space with EQ, that was something that appealed to me as a gamer. Years later, it very much feels...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    This is actually a remake of the movie Sword of the Valiant with Sean Connery as the Green Knight. Trailer looks good.

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    Les wasn't quite as dumb as he came across while speaking but, my word, he was a stubborn sob. The former AD for LSU even recently came out saying how talking to Les was like talking to a brick wall. As an LSU fan, much of what Les did was cringe-worthy. For everyone else, he was a seemingly...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I'm not exactly crazy about the hire of Linehan. He's only really involved in third downs though so I guess we'll see how it plays out. After the record-setting year they just had, LSU's offensive production can only go backwards a bit. Last is a bit much but with the returning talent and...

    When are they going to finally join a conference (Big 10?)?

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    Oh well. Moving on. Considering that Clemson schedule, next year will boil down to a race for three spots in the playoff. I'm used to feeling that way every year about Bama (and still do) but now it's two teams. So maybe two spots?

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I was curious if this held true for LSU so I looked it up on Pro Football Reference. Turns out RB Joseph Addai had one rushing TD for the Colts in the 2009 SB vs the Saints, WR Brandon Lafell caught a TD for the Pats vs the Seahawks in 2014 and QB David Woodley threw a TD back in 1982 for the...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    Wow! That's almost too unbelievable to think Bama has never had any player score a single point in any Super Bowl ever. Crazy stuff. I see LSU has 20 points but I'd have to think about where those points might've come from.

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    Yeah, even Tiger fans thought he was an above average QB, at best, after his first season. But it was a whole lot more than just his growing development as a QB as to why he was mediocre in his first year in 2018 and ridiculous this past year. Joe Brady arrived and brought concepts of one of...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I'm still enjoying the moments of this past season. And while I've never been much on the "greatest team" debate, there is no denying that what LSU did this year was truly special. Mike Greenberg recently put it into perspective and it's almost impossible to argue. The greatest single season...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I would not want Jeff Fischer. Too much ego and risk of a power struggle. Not to mention, I'd have serious concerns about the motivation from someone like that. I'd personally prefer a younger, up-and-comer type talent. Sure, you're putting them in position to make a name for themselves and...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    LSU alumnus and fan here. Aranda is a very good coach and no nonsense kind of guy. He's been one of the best DCs in the country the last 5 years even though statistically, his best year as DC was in 2016, his first year at LSU. The defense you saw in the first half of this season was pretty...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    NFL games are basically unwatchable now due to horrible and inconsistent officiating. They're basically a third team out there with their own agenda to heavily influence games.

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    If I'm understanding your idea, that sounds to me like you'd need little more than a handful of zones. Just design them to scale up/down according to level or difficulty? The problem with that is that areas now lose their identity. Blackburrow was great because it was difficult at its level and...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Broken link for me, but I did see the separate forum and thread for it. Judging by the replies in that thread, I'm not sure that's a totally reliable list and doesn't really even answer the question, although someone posted the same one in there too. Which ones (for Classic) are critical...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    It was a lot less about the pass interference and a lot more about him dropping the ball. That's why he gets paid the big bucks - to make those catches. As a former receiver myself, I remember certain plays where I could just "feel" the big hit coming as I was watching the ball into my hands...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    No ties to the Dolphins but loved Marino while growing up. It was always disappointing to me that he never got a ring. For that matter, to only make one SB appearance will always be hard to believe, especially since he did it at such an early age. I think everyone thought that was the first of...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I could not agree more. For starters, he only played 5 years which isn't all that much considering how long many of today's starters have been starting. Additionally, he's a career 60% completion rate passer, which is shit. He's never passed for more than 3,300 yards. Again, hardly noteworthy in...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    And now the Kaepernick drama starts up all over again. I mean, ten years from now, some random asshat writer will post yet another blowhard article of why Colin Kaepernick should get another shot at QB over random_QB_14 just to keep this bullshit drama going.

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    I largely agree with your vision with a couple of exceptions. For starters, I struggle to see a game that focuses on forced group interdependence yet does NOT have a crowd control role. CC is such a huge part of why players need to group. If there are no classes that specialize in CC, then I...

    Then yes, you’re missing it. Even asking if it was true or speculating how surprising that hire would be is proof enough to get the snowball rolling. And next thing you know, we’re six pages later with pop ins totally running with it. That’s just how life works here.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I also play on Xegony and yeah, that Wieldhit guy is the resident cancer of the server. The least of the guy's transgressions is trying to screw people over on transactions or so I've heard in general chat. Many people have him on ignore nowadays but from what I do know about him through...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Interesting. So that would mean there would be three different versions of the Eastern Wastes, Crystal Caverns and Kael zones - the originals, the RoF versions and then this next set. I mean, I loved Kael and would still enjoy it, but it's disappointing that we're seeing these zones done yet...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    A new Velious expansion would be cool but I doubt it will happen for a few reasons. I'm thinking the next expansion will be a continuation of the PoP theme. TBL covered the elements of air and fire while this next one will cover earth and water. At least, that's my theory.

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

    Saw it last night. I completely agree with the 7/10 rating that the large majority seem to share on this one. The story is decent but nothing to write home about and there are a handful of cringe-worthy dialogue moments. All of that made up for though by all of the destruction and carnage laid...

    Guild Wars 2

    It's been several years since I last played GW2, before the expansion (Heart of Thorns maybe?) that added gliding or flying or whatever. I loved the 1-80 game and some of the world raid events but feel like it might be overwhelming to try again at this point. How many expansions would I need to...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    No problem. If you want my advice, take your time with the content. Between the zones, quests and missions, there's a ton to see. You've been away for awhile anyway and don't really need to worry about LFG with other players so you might as well enjoy the ride. I had taken a 6 year hiatus from...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    For lvls 85-90, you’ll want to focus on the House of Thule expansion. It’s pretty well done, offers quite a bit of content and will get you good gear for your level. Once you hit 90 and get your gear set there, move to the Veil of Alaris expansion followed by Rain of Fear, which will take you to...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    More discussions the last few days with a PT, a chiro, and a massage therapist to zero-in on what’s going on. Plus a ton of stretching targeting quads, calves (more specifically, my soleus), glutes as well as some hip openers/activation. Also, chiro and MT both identified a bulging disc in my...
