    Good article. It also doesn't help things that Dragons/Dragons/Fate is stale as fucking fuck. Origins cannot get here soon enough.

    There are like five tiers of augments that you can buy for weapons if you are anything other than a pure caster. There is a straight dmg proc, a dot proc, a heal proc, and a heal over time proc. They are not great.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    I can't even imagine what another couple thousand pages on that brick would be like. couple of times Even in its current form it could really use a 100-200 page trim.

    The best geared shaman on the server (Ronne) also has probably the best geared Paladin on the server and Pris is only level 22 in that picture. There's some stacked warriors running around but it's a goddamn ghetto for the rest of the non-Monk melee.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    The people still were mostly people for a long time. Not a single person in that town had that piece of general information. They instead drove across the countryside looking for batteries. It's been a while since I've read it. Why do you keep saying the ship was alternating current?

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Everything the townspeople "invented" were powered by batteries. They were sending people out to all the nearby cities to buy more batteries. Batteries are a big part of the narrative both literally and symbolically but you can convert AC to DC which is kind of a big problem.

    You've got not only the aliens but an entire town's worth of people that didn't have that basic information. The whole thing just falls apart.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    In both The Body and the film adaptation Stand by Me the character of Gordy LaChance tells his friends a revenge story with a fat kid that pukes on everyone at a pie eating contest. In both the book and the movie it's this great, surreal little detour. At the end of the story his friends all...

    The story does end. The poem is the true ending of the story. It's literally how the book ends. Get out your copy, open it up, flip to the end, and there's the poem. He gets to the tower, he blows the horn, the end.

    No one else but King could get away with introducing a character like Patrick Danville at the very very end of a seven book epic through a magic door and having him immediately job out the primary antagonist of not only that series but other books. Hey, this kid who gets like two lines in a...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    He's just not great at endings. I thought Doctor Sleep was pretty decent overall but when it came to be the final confrontation all the bad guys got jobbed out immediately and it was all around anti-climatic. I was envisioning this really massive event where Rose the Hat goes into Danny's mind...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Why not have a storybook ending? Why not have something big? So it was going to be a hard story to end properly. That's no reason to give the shitty, cop-out ending we got. Oh, he's in a loop. Lovely. But THIS time he's got the Horn of Eld! Hey asshole, maybe tell me that story? Maybe that's the...

    The Martian (2015)

    I like 2001 just fine and I'm about halfway through The Martian and I like it just fine as well. If the movie comes out like the book I'll be surprised. I'm expecting it to end up closer to Promethus than to 2001.

    That we would ever reach a point in EQ where someone could use software to partially automate 12 characters, take down raid targets, and sell the spoils for dollars (basically), and have it be A-OK is beyond me. I find it very, very distasteful and that little cancer could do some substantial...

    The torches people are paying that for come from Najena and are used in the Torch of Ulna (I forget the exact name) pet focus item from the Temple of Solusk Ro quests. There are tons of mages and I think people use fire pets versus Nagafen? I don't even know. They benefit they provide is...

    I really, really do want all of this to have a happy ending. I don't want to read in the papers that Caityln committed suicide after all of this attention wore off because in reality the cosmetic work didn't actually fix anything. I hope this puts Ms. Jenner on the path to the life she always...

    Mages might be The Awesome but they are going to become the EQ equivalent of the Huntard in short order. I know they are overrepresented so you see more of them than anyone else and it's natural to focus on the negative over the positive but if someone is going to suck at their job or suck at...

    You've got time, sure. But you also are going to want to do what you want to do when you want to do it. Sitting around going nowhere is pretty terrible even if you'll get to 50 by winter.

    If you are a healer or caster you get bind affinity at level 12 and can bind yourself anywhere. If you aren't high enough level or don't have the spell you can bind in any city in the game at a Soulbinder. Kaladim has one, for example, and it's a closer run from there to Unrest.
