I think this will definitely end up on film, and that makes me happy. I'd love to see the other story from that compilation on film too (Rage), but it will never happen. Waaaaaay too controversial in this climate. I read both The Bachman Books and Different Seasons in my early teens and they...

Yeah, it's all a matter of opinion, but I liked Pet Cemetery, Silver Bullet, and Firestarter more than a lot of your higher picks. Also add Misery and Graveyard Shift. First was a good movie second was not so much. Oh, and Apt Pupil. There are more too. King is an insanely prolific...

Have a link to a good guide on how to set up? I'm sure there is plenty of info there (some of it better than others) but if you already have a guide you know is good, post it up.

There will be and hacking will be a problem in Pantheon for sure. I'm just curious if the Pantheon team has any plans for dealing with hacking. Specific plans I mean. Not the vague "We know it's going to be an issue and we are planning to put "things" in place to prevent hacking/catch...

A long time ago now Rog mentioned something like: 1. Open second P1999 blue server and make it time-release for expansions 2. After new server has been up a while and the bulk of the population has worked through the content, merge player base with old P1999 server. 3. Use newly freed...

I hope you're right. Like I said, I could care less if that shit is represented within the show, but if they make it one of the show's main foci the show is going to be unwatchable- to me at least. And I'm being selfish because I like the IP and really want a TNG successor.

That concept art is pretty cool actually. The Star Wars similarities are really clear.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck This show is sounding worse and worse. What a great opportunity they have with a wonderful IP and they are totally going to waste it by cramming some type of weird, forced, multicultural, polygender, LBGTQRTYASDF SJW horseshit down our throats. Having that type of thing in...

I would absolutely expect hacking/duping/bottling/gold farming/selling etc to be an issue with this game. It may be minimized early on due to the game's small size and minimal exposure, but as (or IF) the game gains an audience, these issues will increase drastically. Two of the things I...

I've learned not to go near TV threads unless I am completely up to date. And Xarpolis, if you are seeing anything relevant in that screen grab tell us, because it's gibberish to me.

Yeah, I was thinking one of the head facilitators if not the head. He clearly had Elliot in his office toward the end of the episode.

Nothing in the episode to make me think the theory is bunk yet. Still not positive but pretty convinced it's a secure mental hospital. There were definitely chicks in the religion group. Dunno. Craig Robinson is definitely more than just a prison guard.

It's not just that- look at all the imagery in a lot of these scenes. There are bars and fences everywhere. I don't think it's an accident. The stairs look just like bars. These scenes were shot intentionally this way.

Dude has obviously hallucinated all kinds of stuff, from conversations and fights with his father, to being pushed off piers, to being shot in the head. Yes, most of the things he hallucinated that I can think of off the top of my head involve his father, but once you open the door to the fact...

Well, if he can full hallucinate his father, I'm not sure why he couldn't hallucinate his entire situation. Not by inventing a new reality altogether, but just by altering reality enough so that it gives him the illusion that he has control of his situation. After all, what is it his father...

I think they are going to fuck this up. After initial annoyance, I'm ok with the choice of Elba and mcconaughey both. But after reading the slide show captions in the article, it seems like the director skimmed the novels at best and the screen writer decided to add a bunch of bullshit extra...

Most prisons and even many jails give access to MH treatment to their inmates. He could very easily be seeing a staff mental health treatment specialist. His mother makes a good prison guard/warden. She gets him up and tells him when he has to go to bed, etc. His bedroom basically contains...

Glad to hear it. I read the first 7 or so books. While they became a little formulaic, I think they would make great tv-- so long as the fighting was well choreographed (considering that was the best part of the books).

Yeah dude is 5'6. He basically looks like a hobbit now

Since I started the thread I guess I'll post an update. I only tried it for a couple weeks and quit because it wasn't my thing. It tasted fine and I didn't mind drinking/eating it- even though it's basically like consuming pancake batter. My issue was that the formula they use is way too...

Maybe he believed what Tolstoy said, that manual labor is the most basic way to rid oneself of the complexities and anxieties of civilized life. I personally also think it was Sobotka's attempt to turn back the hands of time; to go back to his roots and return to a simpler time in his life...

Just to get the record straight, Brad wasn't nerfing much of anything post-release in VG. There was plenty of nerfing, but it wasn't Brad holding the bat 99% of the time.

I didn't have an issue with chunking in the original game tbh. It was just a pause for a few seconds- no worse than zoning in EQ. Actually, a little less onerous even.

Yeah, like I said in a previous post, the pathing, spawn times, aggro radius, social aggro radius, etc, were all really really well done and fine-tuned with EQ. It made encounters challenging but fun because a skilled puller or CC player could simply do outlandish shit that 90% of the rest of...

EQ combat could definitely be fun. Not too much fun about hitting auto attack, but the nuances to pulling, CC, off tanking, controlling aggro, etc. made encounters interesting. Strats like fear-kiting, root and rot, dot stacking, charm kiting, etc At the end of the day, I really enjoyed...

Well I just bought that shit. $18 is 2 drinks and a tip downtown, so it's pretty fucking cheap. And yeah, I don't mind waiting for them to flesh it out if the wait is fun. Anyone who was there for early EQ remembers the hundreds of change/improvements that happened the first year or two. And...

My bad, I was thinking of single player fantasy games, actually. Those countries have some decent titles, but none of the titles I am thinking of are mmos. Hell, I can only think of a handful of successful mmos in the world when it comes down to it. Watched a gameplay vid from a recent...

Hey man, zhe Germans have a decent track record for fantasy mmos. So do some of the Nordic countries. I think.

Gameplay looks similar to a multiplayer Mount and Blade (minus the mounts). Looks fun. Edit: Meh, "free to play." The FAQ concerning their pay structure is dodgy as fuck. Just waiting to see the words "cash shop."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending ponderous development cycles and bloated budgets. If the genre wants to survive it needs to learn how to do more with less and much faster. CF seems to be a good example of that so far. I'm just saying that historically mmos take forever and cost a...

Picking CF as your MMO timetable example is picking the exception rather than the rule, for sure.

Three years isn't a huge amount of time for an MMO. When you consider how many starts, stops, and resets this ip has undergone their progress isn't bad. Granted, Unity is a big part of what has helped with the rapid progress once they started moving in the right direction, but I can't begrudge...

New characters and animations (and sounds-- they definitely need more combat sounds) will make a big difference assuming they do a significant overhaul, as they have indicated they will.

Oh I don't know. You could pull some armies in EQ pretty easily. But if you are saying EQ was just tuned a little better than VG as far as aggro radius/pathing/linking then I agree. There is a lot of shit they will need to fine tune to get that "EQ feel" correct because EQ did some of those...

So... I suppose the main point of the demo was to display basic mechanics, like aggro, grouping, pulling, combat, etc. I guess in this regard they seem to have a pretty decent spiritual successor to EQ. Who knows what it feels like to actually play the game, but on the surface they pretty much...

Same, should be interesting to see the changes from the last live stream. I feel like you can't tell a lot about how the game feels to play from watching someone else- I watched my room mate play EQ for a couple weeks back in 99 before he convinced me to load it up. Simply watching him play...

Enderal, a full conversion of Skyrim by SureAI, the same guys who did Nehrim (the full Oblivion conversion) is dropping very soon (next month I think) in Europe and will follow in US after. I've been waiting years for this one. Ironically, I never played Nehrim, but it got amazing reviews...

Only saw the first episode but liked it way more than I thought I would. They did a decent job (so far) of keeping true to the spirit of the original. I can't take most kids cartoons these days and I don't like most reboots so I'm surprised. Not sure why so much criticism. Maybe it's...

One hell of a cast of characters. I think I can name every one without effort. The show definitely burned an imprint on my brain.
