    Apparently Goodell today said he might reinstate Ray Rice at some point. This thing really is a fucking circus. I have no idea why the NFL decided to pile on an indefinite suspension on top of his firing. It's like they don't have anyone there to say, "How about we think about this for a few...

    The "we're going to make other companies faster" argument always bothered me because it sounds like "x will be the standard speed for everyone else." That works fine in a world where technology is static. Unfortunately, in 5 years there's a potential for our bandwidth requirements to increase...

    When the incident happened he was 66. I was going to guess early 80's though.

    I think labor is overblown. Unless you're really into crafting, you'll probably be fine. The first week or two you'll likely find yourself short on it but after that you'll be looking for ways to burn it up. After I stopped crafting in the betas, I basically would just destroy 2-3000 labor on...

    I'm torn. On the one hand, if I were 66 years old, I'd be absolutely thrilled about her. On the other, I'm a billionaire 66 year old. I could probably do better. I'm pretty sure this is just a money grab though. You don't wait 5 years after an incident to file a lawsuit.

    I always have this reaction. I've heard men talking about watches and I'm just like, "You realize watches at this point in time are essentially just jewelry for men, right?" This is ugly jewelry for men. May as well be wearing one of those plastic Timex's you can get for $5 at Walmart. Are we...

    They're also lying. The cash shop is something they control entirely. Not only that, but the 4 hour and 12 hour labor potions have different item ID's. So they didn't have to go to XL Games at all. But yet, they claimed they are/did.

    Oh, absolutely. This franchise is stuck with RG3. He could start having 5 interceptions every game and there'd be pressure from the front office to stick with him. I mean, they literally gave up the future for this guy. The worst part is there are fans that would still be defending him. Probably...

    I doubt it. The shelf life of running backs is pretty short. Basically by the time you hit 30, you're done. Not only that, but they're very easily replaced. There's almost no transition from college to the pros, so you can pick up a guy late in the draft (or even UDFA) and plug them in as a...

    Nope. I'm on Android, and you can minimize the game and be fine. As long as it doesn't quit out on you, you're fine. Also, just a heads up, the honor event is on again. +80 honor for friends, and metals/kings/etc from the summons.

    Auto lock? You talking about the in battle auto attack? All you do is, after you've expended all the energy you have on the metals, you go back into vortex, back into the dungeon, and then let it sit there while your energy bar fills up again. Once it's filled, you start like normal. The...

    Mages do significantly more burst damage than archers, but archers have a better sustained DPS (not sure if that matters in PVP as much). That said, archers have better range than mages, which is why lots of people recommend them for naval PVP. Mages are going to have a harder time getting close...

    I attribute that to a different era. Each year, social media gets bigger and bigger. I think this is more a function of the media and SJW's than the situation. Marshawn Lynch hit a woman with his car in 2008 and left the scene. Donte Stallworth hit a man with his car, was drunk,and killed...

    Yes, Bruman. There are quite a few PRX members that aren't starting until official launch. You'll be at a disadvantage without owning land and the labor regen, but those can be overcome easily.

    I thought the same thing, but Schefter made it sound like it was part of the CBA. Which sounds like something that it'd legitimately have. They don't want their union members punished more than once for the same infraction.

    Probably not, no. The PVE elements are pretty weak. It's just going to make a very large difference in PVP, which is the bulk of the game. A single player with top tier gear doesn't really matter either though. Put a group on him and he dies maybe 1 second slower than a non-geared player. But...

    That's what bothers me. They could have used the end of alpha and all these beta tests to you know, test out the archeum drop rate. Instead they sat on it until just before open beta where nothing could really be done. And Explosivo, I'm not sure if you've played, and if so, if you've tried...

    Yeah, I'm confused by this. Schefter kept mentioning that the CBA has some sort of double jeopardy clause in it. I have a hard time believing that them changing the punishment doesn't somehow violate the CBA. Then again, the whole collusion thing with the Redskins and Cowboys happened and no...
