Great point. When the best of show is a no show 3rd iteration of one of the oldest franchises, the next big thing is an updated WoW clone, and the biggest sandbox game coming up is a probably worse UO...something new needs to be pushed. As bad as consoles are for rehashed franchises(so are...

You don't win insulting your consumer base. You don't win charging excessive rates. You also don't win offering less than a 20 year old game does upgraded graphics,etc be damned. If this game gets a bunch of sales later on the cheap...that's not really a win. Lots of games get that...

Might as well start with Elantris and get his early book out of the way. WoK is far superior and the next one is my top option for future reading. Hopefully, it's just as large as WoK because I've almost run out of books I really want to read right now.

AAs weren't around in the early expansions before Luclin. PoP took 10 months but after that there were 2 expansions a year for a while. The February and September release dates for expansions went on for about 5 years from PoP to SoF. That is a 6 month release date and was far too often. SOE was...

Some fantastic music. Thanks for sharing.

Really good start to the season. Missed some Brock and Sphinx action but overall a good start. 21 had some solid lines. Still miss 24.

This just goes to show how much time epics really take to produce. Sanderson is probably the most prolific writer I've ever read and this is taking a while. I know he had to finish up Jordan properly(Hallelujah?!) but I'm still itching to get back into this series. The first book was just so...

My bad and I agree about original being wrong. Better form of entertainment? Yes. More closely associated with the original source material. Yes as well. Good? Entirely subjective.

I truly enjoyed Signs even with the water ending. Very similar to War of the Worlds and a nice plot twist the first time when he was still fresh. Sure, sounds stupid when logic is applied but don't all movies sound that way? I sure hope someone else here enjoyed the hell out of the Avengers...

Discombobulated mess from the get go. Why you would completely go off track from the book the name is based on? Great premise that has been ruined from the start. I like the displaced government perspective as well but PG13? Are these zombies upper class aristos who don't want to make a mess...

Ugh. As much as I loved my time with EQ, the only thing heard now is old epeen arguments back and forth as we rehash the same old tired arguments about why the industry sucks. I don't think epeen has as much vitriol since it's been over a decade since anyone really cared about EQ achievements...

As much as I love PvP, games that want a wider audience just can't make it a top priority. Either a game will trivialize the rewards, or a small subset of the player base will always have an advantage from previous teamwork, etc. No one wants to lose over and over to a pro squad. Make it a fun...

I'm glad to see others that are similar to me in their gaming apathy. Spending time on MMOs reduced my single player experience to almost nil but when I quit WoW about 30 months ago, no long single player marathons ever appeared. I used to love the slow, grindy buildup to endgame but now, I just...

I really liked Rift. Great class combinations, great new hook, and really well made . The problem was that the even though they were really good about giving lots of content, it was more and more like WoW with every patch. You have Rifts but you never really push them after release. That's the...

I haven't really ever seen a sub give $15/month in value. Sure, at one time I thought it did, and with the sub model being the only game in town, what were you to do? Now, after games like GW 2 showed that B2P works just as well content wise, and F2P games have a ton of content as well, why...

I miss old EQ for the most part but it isn't coming back. I don't think any devs have the right answers but that's what happens when EQ was my first MMO that I played a lot of(some UO). Nostalgia for a game with way too many flaws for today's world. At this point, I would just love for some...

Great post and I believe the same thing. The genre hasn't moved forward very much at all so exactly why should we try to be shills? Just to get some random dev to 'give us the goods'? I much prefer the rants of UT to the slurping of Shilling every time he decided to give us some random thoughts...

Looks like a perfect waste of two hours to me. Better than seeing the geriatric club try to espouse the manhood of nursing home warriors once again. Butler may no longer be young but at least I can hide some disbelief during the movie. Not a lot after watching the trailer but after the Die...

Exactly this. They know these gun laws wont accomplish what they want but it looks good for reelection(for some). The whole assault weapon portion of this argument is idiotic. Focus back on universal background checks and possibly mags restrictions if you think it will pass in your state but the...

I feel completely different. He sounded crazy from the get go, always used racism as his excuse, and has been found lacking in more than one setting. He hasn't went after the people that 'ruined' his life but just random people. That's not hero in my book. That's crazy psycho coward. Two wrongs...

Guys, I quit for an extended break after Path of Daggers. I hate to admit it but Jordan was beginning to grate on me with extensive verbal sparring with little true progress on the story IMO. I also just couldn't keep up with the extensive stories between the years and got tired of rereading to...

Perfect explanation. QT knows what kind of movie he wants to make and then makes it while allowing the actors to provide flow and respond in the ways they see fit. Since many of his actors are true professonals, I really enjoy the respect QT gives these actors and the spontaneity this induces...

Damn you guys! Now, I'll have to pull out my old SNES and see if it still has the magic! Samurai Shodown 2 was amazing but SF 2 turbo is what really got me into fighting games. Special place for the original addiction. Posting pics after I see if it still plays.

What is nice about this video is he admits to not knowing the answers but knowing that 54 school shootings in American schools over the last 16 years needs to change. If only gun right's activists would say this. I'm not smart enough to know what needs done but...I'm going to use the same old...

Double negatives always make a positive so you're good!

That's the main point right here. I dont think people are blaming the guns but are blaming the ease that irresponsible people can obtain these weapons. As I said, most gun owners are extremely responsible people and no one wants their guns taken away. There has to be a discussion from both sides...

I agree there are many people that fit the profile but should it be easy for them to get guns? Should every mental case have free reign because they havent went 'school shopping'? I know if you want to kill you can but our gun proliferation society is based off beliefs handed down over the...

So now we are comparing 5 different stabbing incidents that only killed 21 people in the most populous country in the world to one shooting in the US that killed 5 more? That makes a lot of sense. They all came armed to the teeth and sprayed over 100 rounds of 'ammunition' while they did it too...

Thorne, great post and I agree that politicians are fairly knee-jerk mainly because it looks good. Gavinrad, where do you live that has home invasions weekly? Sounds like you need to get out of the ghetto more.

A lot of hard to fix issues that I see no solution to but that doesnt mean efforts and discussions shouldn't be used and explored. Gun rights activists try their damn hardest to ignore any issue that involves guns. Hell, I agree with Araysar so much that usually i dont post because he's already...

Adibisi, is there something that you need to umm...get off your chest? We have your back bro.

Charles, You have a pretty good post(earlier one) but there's no way i'm going to quote it. Some of the info you provide though isn't quite a full picture. The options for people who have mental disorders or take care of the person who has mental disorders are severely limited. The mentally...

Threads like this are why I'm so damn glad Keg is back. Welcome back!

This! I tried my best to like the flash gordon show but what a pile. This show while pretty cheesy at least kills people and is an easy watch. That's about all you can ask of TV now.

I think it's gotten much better lately(3rd season). First season was ok since it got everything going but sitting at that farmhouse forever was pretty damn boring. I never liked Lori so her death was just the cherry on top of this season. This show isn't high drama, a moral story or exceptional...

Pools are a nightmare. Maintenance, safety issues, eventual issues selling a house with a pool(except in Fl,etc) and depending on where you live...you only use it 6 months at best every year. Houses will drain you dry. You will find things you want to fix or upgrade. The wife will always find...

I completely understand this sentiment from both you and Cosmic. It's true for some people and that's why new births are down in most of the top industrialized nations. It is true that resources are stretched in some form of another with children. There's only so much time and some people are...

I've heard some pretty damn good advice here. Cathan, you are a shitty role-model and the mother is a shitty mother. Any mother that uses a bull-horn to make a point hasn't learned parenting very well. That sounds harsh but that's exactly what the therapist will tell you in a non-abrasive...

This list is really good but most of it should be required teaching before a surgery. It's part of your informed consent decision making process before any surgery. Questions 1,2, and 4 are good questions they wouldn't answer without being asked.

The price of healthcare is going up every year. That's the reason we are having this discussion. Even if it doesnt affect your prices every year doesnt mean it isnt going up. Businesses always pass the costs so it would have went up one way or another. The time for a single-payer system is way...
