It's never a good sign when every character on a show is more or less equally unlikable and/or uninteresting; the only guy I'm moderately curious about is the PTSD copper thief. Come on AMC you started out with such promise, who cares about a mystery involving the death of some guy we will...

Book two was a bit excessive in the I'm awesome department, especially Dances with Adem. But we have some bad/humbling events on the horizon that have already been alluded to + the state of the narrator. Hopefully when the story catches up to the present Kvothe won't get conveniently "fixed"...

I agree and feel that the main things that make this book worth reading are Shen and Kaladims chapters. The other PoVs help with the world building and the set up for future books but they are not entirely relevant to any major events in book 1. The more ominous events to come are covered by...

I have seen episodes 1-8 and so far as period royal soap operas go it is alright; mainly because the tumultuous events it details are a bit interesting (if nothing new). It has the power plays and shifts in fortune that make this kind of story enjoyable however, its main fault is that all that...

From what I saw of it the combat in TESO felt like Skyrim without shouts to me which is a bit meh considering the combat was the least interesting part of that game. The world, quests, epic moments and dicking around with shouts were all fantastic. I did not like the mob pack system very much...

In the end it doesn't really matter what they have implemented at the moment. What does matter (to me anyway) is how they decided to present the game and which of their limited available features they decided to highlight. Things like double jump, auto pilot parkour, OMFG BBQ particles...

I always called it Qey-nos, no k. Kunark was Ku-nark also. Couldn't watch that vid for more than a couple minutes before the narrators voice coupled with super serious interviewees drove me away lol.

Seriously, I rolled my eyes when I first read that scene and was quite baffled after reading some posts by people who seemed genuinely confused of his fate on various book forums. The only thing that I found confusing was if you are going to stage a coup why in the bloodly hell would you do it...

Both. There were Jedi and Kings but they have both been absent until... they came back. What is your most terrifying dream that you can recall?

Okay I really like this one: Illogical Maze Creation http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/I..._Maze_Creation The user can create mazes that defy logic and bend space-time in a way that doesn't make any sense, such as making door A and door B both lead to door C and door C only lead to door...

Make your permanent campsite close to a Beefalo pasture but not directly in it or they will kill you come mating season (fun night time surprise that was). Also make sure you camp adjacent to 3-4 bunny holes and plant those traps at the edge of each hole for a steady meat supply (that way you...

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Hope_Constructs The power to create constructs out of the emotional energy of hope. Sub-power of Hope Manipulation. Apparently the magic meteorite turned me into Barack Obama.

The last I recall the people he answers to were happy with him and their system because despite all of their fails in the gameplay department SOE is turning a profit and has been for a long time. They actually manage to make enough money from their MMO life support suite and now PS2 to keep...

What I meant was that they could have made much more of an effort to give the existing world a feeling of life and change from time to time. The addition of new quests, npcs, mechanics and the discovery of new dungeons & other content periodically would have been very interesting if done well...

Thanks for this Fedor. I found this quote particularly apt: "SOE games are not developed to be fun, creative, or rewarding experiences for the player. They are made to drain as much money from them as possible." I realized this for myself after many years of EQ play and much time wondering why...

Sol Ro here also, I joined Destiny about two weeks before they disbanded but never moved to Paradigm or BoR but I do remember a few of your names. Also definitely remember the time zone wars.

I always thought that it would be wonderful if players could take over level design once SOE proved that they weren't up to it. I can't think of one truly memorable dungeon past Velious that isn't pretty much just a series of nearly identical & bland corridors/rooms. Obviously the playerbase...

If you guys really want to have fun and get fast exp then build a charm group; mage, enc, druid would do nicely in most situations, could even roll with 2 chanters if you feel adventurous. Charm killing is some of the most fun I ever had in EQ, did lguk farming and 50-60 charming on my necro on...

At least we will always have the books.

Exactly and thousands of people still play this game both on the official servers and on emulators because it has gameplay and mechanics that a decent number of people find enjoyable and even superior to those of modern MMO's. EQ was never mainstream but that doesn't mean that it wasn't a good...

I haven't played in awhile either but what was true on live is still the same here afaik. KC isn't the best exp but its probably the easiest place to get pugs in for a couple more levels then move on to Sebilis. If you have some people to play with though go to the Hole, Chardok or Charasis...

I just started playing this yesterday and so far it is fairly fun, well written and definitely gives off that Oregon Trail vibe. Good stuff.

A fresh P99 server would be a lot of fun, it's a shame that they still guard their db/code so jealously even after so many years.

Maybe they are going through the Greenlight process still, who knows. Anyway the game is losing its charm for me after a good many hours played now, the +gooder item / level grind is really showing through and the lack of advanced skills beyond -0.01 to a skill timer is a bit of a bummer. I...

Yes bosses can be a pain, especially wizard and ranger versions because its super hard to dodge their attacks. Think I've had a fight take around 25 min to complete non stop before, I ended up just pulling him to a rock to wall tank it and run from his spells while healing. Levels and gear do...

QFT - I found an island with a castle full of +4 orcs and a boss, every spawn I get a couple yellows and many purple/blue items... it's pretty neat. I just wish that long swords weren't so damn rare.

I hope that they add an incentive to attacking red enemies, +10-15 exp for killing a skull bull at level 5 was a bit lame. I really wish they would support modding, it would just make the game explode with content.

Once you get past the frustration of not knowing wtf to do and wiki some things it is fairly fun in a grindy way. Playing as a rogue pissed me the heck off (especially fighting bosses) until I figured out how to spec to ninja. It took me awhile to figure out that the class trainers can't...

I don't think they ever fully explained it on the show, all that I can recall is that their two species had some dealings in the past and that Guinan's people were always kept a mystery save that they might be immortal and that they may have suffered from the Borg. Maybe someone else can add...

Well it's not like they had much else to work with for a trailer besides people talking to each other about uninteresting things or monologing in a ships log or interview. It all boiled down to the same thing hinted at in the trailer anyway. Expedition > stupid people > problems > angry space...

Severance : Sword of Darkness did this 12 years ago and it was awesome, a more modern example would be Chivalry : Medieval Warfare. Granted neither is an MMO but still something like the melee systems they demonstrate should be quite feasible. The reasons we haven't seen them attempted has...

Well this movie suffers from the primary problem of most others like it; they barely introduce us to a cast of characters before they start bumping them off, in some cases before we even know their names lol. Also adding on to this issue of emotional disconnect nearly every scene in the film is...

The guy standing around and the empty room I haven't seen before lol. That carved archway has been going around for months though and shows up in all of their videos. They have a nice style at any rate.

Got it today and played for a couple hours... if you wanted a roguelike then look elsewhere. This is a platformer where progression is only possible through repeated deaths and gold farming. You really have to get a hang of the controls and figure out the enemies/traps before you can get...

Same deal really; regen, take the optimal path and have high enough level in constitution.

Any question of who will come out on top in any conflict of interest or arms is kind of a given from the get go of most (not all) of the books in the series save for the first. They (the Culture) are consistently portrayed as being that powerful and dominant and I think that it hurts the series...

This is a fun game aside from some of the platforming bits, it would be pretty sweet if it had a random map gen roguelike mode.

The Culture books can be fun if you space them out, I wouldn't recommend reading one after the other as they all follow the same themes and can get a bit tiresome as a result. I wish the Idrian's had wonor at least done something to limit the Cultures complete dominance throughout the series.

To be fair it was awhile ago that I read it and about all that I remember is that the premise of the world was interesting, the only character I liked was Seedless and the ending was of dubious quality. Perhaps its characters were more realistic and intriguing than I remember, perhaps not but...

My problem is that content changes introduced by this expansion amounts to nothing more than could be expected from a modest player made mod. It is a step in the right direction but it's a very minor one. The AI attacking you or not based on your ranking is stupid and boring, being able to...
