    I saw Azrayne's point and agreed but not reading the last few books, I should have asked more if he was turning Gary Stu. I also have enjoyed the series a lot but once a series goes so long, it can be pretty hard to not have a bit of Stu in your main, human nature and all. I am glad to see the...

    That's mainly because of the point we are at in the genre. WoW is a decade old game and has still done a lot to try and get new mileage but only so much can be done honestly. It happens with all games after a point. I do really like how EQ reused older content and wish more games would improve...

    Guys, I haven't read this series since Turncoat but the Gary Stu argument is very valid. Also, is he running out of stuff to write about? This dying and then becoming Mab's bitch(extreme exaggeration I'm sure) just doesn't seem as interesting to me. How are the last few books compared to the...

    Rapist has almost as many TDs as GOATkowski in one game. Talk about a guy that even Jim Thorpe would look up to in adoration. Fennin, K I see now. It couldn't last but there's still some surprises out there if not many.

    Those stats are made up horseshit. Obviously, if they were real Gronk stats the targets would equal the catches. Fucking helen keller rubes in this MFin' place.

    I don't know what the hell the rest of you are seeing. Gronk has been an integral part of every Pats SB win in the past 15 years. Hell, as one of the GOATs, guys like Brady just need to acknowledge him a bit more and everything would be good in NE. Now, I just have to show where he was at in...

    The anti-travel speed crowd want a world of tedium where only the people who want to sit around slowly traversing the world instead of grouping with others need to apply. Except, this is 2014, and SOE actually wants this game to make them money beyond paying for one head honcho's drug...

    Actually, the market supports what sells. Everyone can say the mechanics are sound and be perfectly correct or incorrect but those same mechanics aren't going to sell or they would have. EQ was left by most players as soon as something decent was available. WoW is not successful just because it...

    Great post. The proof will indeed be in the pudding. Smed backpedals quite well and having an option but never using said option doesn't make SOE any money. They know exactly which races were popular and therefore profitable.

    There is nothing a real developer would want from Brad. Not much developed, horrible lore, etc, etc. as mentioned before, most of this stuff would be easy to replicate with better results.

    I am surprised at how much has been accomplished. Sure, it's not great but it's a lot more work than I thought Brad ever had in him. Even if the totality of his work was just the few minutes spent in the demo.

    Best weekend I've ever seen. Love to see a bunch of overrated teams finally lose. Honestly, Auburn and FSU should have a loss as well. Can't wait to see what Mississippi(either) does next. Tons of great football this weekend. Now I'll be watching the professional blowout league and see how many...

    As you mention, it could be considered niche based off all of those definitions. As long as a game is making money, it's successful and can claim whatever it wants. It's a poor standard of definition so why use it at all?

    There are two niche old school MMOs in development and we will see how successful they are. Both should do well and be fun to play. I don't know what else anyone really wants here? Maybe play those when they come out? SOE isn't going to make an old school EQ EVER and most of their developers...

    I'm sure he quit playing after a month if he ever even tried the game. With WoW losing subs someone had to take some of them away and there's few really solid options out there. It must hurt to think that a SWToR sequel will get made far more quickly and easily before anyone will ever try to...

    I don't think it was ever about disposable income. Companies have gotten smarter and more savvy as competition has forced them to compete. It's like every market and the superior options have won out. WoW has enormous brand identity which allows it to do some things that just don't work with...

    Actually, most games have not been a flop on release. A flop within a few months of release? Sure, but that's different. a_skeleton_02 is exactly right that SWToR has made a ton of money just like FF made a ton of money and Rift is at least profitable. It's well known that most larger releases...

    I would love if the top end gear was crafted. As mentioned by a few here, have RCs drop parts to recipes and very little loot outside of maybe cash. Let's say that each RC gives you something that can be used for armor for a smith. 8 RCs will get you a full suit, 3 will get you a weapon, etc...

    She should but it's the same premise as any case that involves a person with martial arts training or advanced training of any kind.

    Even as a writer for the NFL, I'd try to scrub my site for any mention of that team too. Amazing how quickly things have changed since they drafted RG. Is there a worse division in football? Cowboys look 4-12ish, skins maybe 6-10, same for G-men, and one bright spot in Chip Kelly. Imagine if...

    While the NFL has that policy who's going to support him on it? Companies fire all the time for behavior that is harmful to their image. The union won't have his back on this either.

    Well, even though Rice had already faded, who's going to carry that shitty team now? Flacco looks like a perennial back up and has looked that way since the SB. Reminds me so much of Eli that I swear he's 6 degrees from Manning.

    I do agree that the Bears have a lot of weapons. They have the best WR tandem and a top notch RB. Never been a fan of Cutler though and the D just isn't Chicago quality. Maybe they get it together next week.
