Yes, I want to see this list putting non-American hospitals at the top of any specialty. :-) Vaclav, I agree with you MMO preferences but not with your healthcare choices ;-)

And that's the problem right? If you've got more than two classes - you can't ever actually balance. The best you can do is RPS - Warrior beats Ranger who beats Cleric who beats Warrior.

Yeah "voices" that's not a reputable cite. Anyway, it's just saying these are good hospitals in this area. It's not saying the best hospital in Thailand is better than Mass General. So no sale. So yes. US Healthcare is far and away #1.

I'd rather SOE had nothing to do with this game. Smed has the Mr. Hankey touch - everything he touches turns to shit.

So basically she has to get cancer to make the fact she's paying three times as much for the Obamacare plan a good idea. Nice. I notice how Consumer Reports fails to mention the fact that shew also will end up paying for Maternity Care and Dental and Health Care for children she doesn't...

I'm pretty sure you're completely wrong. US leads the world in all aspects of health care including the development of new pharmaceuticals. But you're welcome to cite something to the contrary.

South Park nailed it tonight. Obama's refusal to admit the problems with Obamacare and the website just make the whole thing so much worse.

Best episode in ages: a good analysis of Obamacare from South Park and the 80's music was awesome.

US denies Obama knew of Merkel spying - Yahoo News Obama Unaware as U.S. Spied on World Leaders Those silly Germans. Of course Obama don't know bout no spying on Merkel.

You are all such tools of the boomers. What group benefits the most from the ACA? Babyboomers who aren't on Medicare yet. What group pays the most for the ACA? Our generation and the one after us. When we're all 55 and need health insurance for our pre-existing condition what will the...

Commutes on trains I never minded (used to commute Providence to Boston - about an hour IIRC) but I fucking hate my current daily traffic jam which is also about an hour but leaves me wanting to nuke the city or at least the other drivers. Edit: Bottomline - we need more commuter trains in...

Please go sell your Ponzi scheme somewhere else BW. The setup of the ACA means that the only people who can possibly be saving money are those who are currently (a) not eligible for medicare/aid/wtf and (b) have some horrible pre-existing condition such that their current policy is...

This is just plain stupid. Avatar is appropriate.

Citation needed. If this was at all true the White House would have all 50 people saving 1,000 a year on the front lawn and Sebelius would be hanging the HHS equivalent of the Medal of Freedom around their necks. Zhaun's response just proves he was lying. The only people who could...

If it were true Obama would have called you up personally to the podium to sell the shit that is the ACA. Because, if you will recall, the White House went out of its way to dig up any good news about the ACA. So yeah I'm calling you a liar on this one.

I don't believe you.

I still don't trust Brad to run a project. I'd kick in 20 or 25 to a kickstarter, no more unless someone else with a better track record was in charge. I still haven't seen any evidence he's learned from his mistakes running Sigil.

So has anyone on this site actually registered and gotten a plan from Healthcare.gov. And yes, I'll need proof - not an anecdote or a "yes". Also, if there is a yes, I want to know what you're paying with proof required for the monthly amount.

Yes. No. No world destruction. No playable Go. No ability to swap fifty different classes. The problem with games since VG is that people have gone so far off the reservation with what they're trying to deliver. VG was buggy as shit but at least it was trying to deliver an MMORPG. I don't...

Yep - but I think this is Sigil not SOE. In late Beta VG you could create truly gross and or demonic characters with the sliders. I think they limited this by release. Too bad - as you could make a really bad ass looking dark elf.

Not Sigil. In Feb 2007 they actually reduced xp from 3/4 dots because they were giving too much XP versus what was the expected curve. It was SOE that completely fucked the curve up and made it so you always outleveled content. Another reason why SOE should never be trusted with MMOs...

It wasn't bad, but I'm getting tired of the topical episodes. I'd like to see an old school episode of just WTF.

My main issue with ED was the Horde/Alliance imbalance and the DDoS attacks. Just a weekend too many when I was in the mood to play and the server was down. Otherwise, I enjoyed my time there - never got to check out AV (think I quit in mid-40s). Is it the original AV or the late Vanilla AV...

Good balance of Solo v. Group play, plus generally solid classes (the only class I played that was underpowered compared to the rest was the Psionicist). You could solo to cap but you would miss out on great dungeon experiences which meant that you would usually avoid soloing if you could help...

Same level as first episode this season. Decent but not brilliant.

The usual case is the reverse. Where Obamacare premiums will soar - Aug. 6, 2013 Also I'll be interested in your 2015 coverage. I'm reasonably sure it'll rise from $350/month. The horror... of reality intruding on your anecdote.

Didn't realize so many people were shareholders of insurance companies. Good to know.

I don't know about lightsabers (which are supposedly confined plasma not lasers, IIRC my pseudo-SW science) but 3D displays "in space" seem possible.

It was a solid episode. Not great but solid - and has some laughs mostly with the Butters/DMV story. The ultimate test is would I laugh watching this again when I see a re-run next year? Probably, the Jehovah's Witness - Butters interaction is "funny-always".

Art is worth something if there's a fuck ton of it. But only if there's a fuck ton so someone could actually make an MMO out of it. That's basically how VG was made. A fuckton of Art Assets fro VG 0.5 that was re-used to make the released version. If it's just a few months worth of art...

No.

He's fucking nuts.

Stuff like this is just proof that the inmates are running the asylum. How did a fuckwit like Turner get to be a Billionaire? Women are why Obama is President. And proof they should never have gotten the vote. Sure we have fuckwit liberals on this board, but a majority of men voted against...

Just what I was told by someone in the biz. That's why they shut the SD office and consolidated everything. So no official source.

Trion's shopping itself so he'll go when Trion gets sold or when it folds.

ITitan will just be WoW 2.0: Take StoryBricks-like NPC (non-combat) AI and Voxel Destruction of EQNext and add real MMO classes and Vanilla WoW (Trinity) Combat. Butler's and EQNext's biggest problem is their desire for everything to be shiny and new so they kicked out the good with the bad...

Wasn't perfect, still better than FOTM skill based systems.

No. FOTM requires some kind of selectable skill based system (be it via Skill/Talent Trees or seperate skills) or (in the case of EQN) a skill-based system masquerading as a class based system. Don't confuse WoW talent trees with EQ character classes. Yes the trinity required warriors and...

Original Total Recall with Arnold. Not sure if it's cult, but it should be.

Absolutely rose colored. Tyen stopped being a constructive member of the community over eqbrowser. He went nuts. It got fucking ridiculous.
