HBO has such a massive production operation now that they have the most votes at the Emmys. Period.

It's a good game, but it requires a lot of self-motivation to enjoy yourself at endgame. There's not really a single straight linear progression system for gear, so you really have to pick and choose your goals. I was trying to write a comprehensive endgame guide for Draegan's site but it's...

Killing 212 people with our 9 people (8 man with our buffbotted bonedancer running along solo) at some random keep in the Alb frontier. Normally to kill that many people in DAoC you had to catch a raid group all stacked up in a pile with some AE stuns and run in and PBAE the shit out of them...

MTG isn't solvable. Not even remotely solvable. The game is considered extremely difficult by braceleted WSOP players, chess grandmasters, etc. There's thousands of cards in most formats, extremely high variance, and very little in the way of purely objective card evaluations. Cards have too...

I disagree. I think Arena tests exactly the right skillset for a limited format of this level of complexity (low complexity.) Constructed is never going to be balanced. The game is incredibly low-variance with 30 card decks and preset resource development. For low variance games like this...

Well I play mostly Arena and Priests are great. Mind Control is one of the best possible cards in Arena. Thoughtsteal is much better in Arena than it is in constructed because your odds of hitting cards you can actually use is a lot higher. Even Holy Nova is a lot better in Arena than...

Lol what? Priests are absurd. I'm pretty sure almost none of the people who play this game have ever played MTG at a professional level and have absolutely no idea what they're talking about when it comes to card games.

This game would be way more interesting to me if everyone didn't look like a fucking furry.

It's actually a quadrilogy. The 4th installment is being written by Damon Lindelof as we speak, and will be titled "Before Prometheus." Rumors have it that it is set, ironically enough,afterthe movie Prometheus, and involves Julie Deply being rapregnated to death by Xenomorphs. (I am not...

How about the Plutocracy memos? http://politicalgates.blogspot.com/2...bombshell.html

Tera has a lot of animation lock in, and GW2 doesn't. I would say GW2 combat feels more responsive.

Split the utilities and that's it. You're fucking crazy/stupid if you go beyond that at this point.

I'm actually pretty sure there's a hidden MMR that pairs you, and your rank is really just for sure. It goes up when your MMR goes up, but it never goes down to prevent feel-bad. So you're not actually paired by rank, you're paired by MMR, and rank is basically an achievement.

EA and all the other major publishers will have to decide who is a crueler master, MS or Valve. Or just what happens when MS runs out of money to bribe devs to their shitty platforms. I remember when MS couldn't put enough money on the table to make people actually want to use GFWL after the...

Win streaks rank you up faster. You never lose rank as far as I know, but once you stop having win streaks you stop gaining rank.

In other games, multiplayer is not very well balanced, but the tradeoff is that the games are very fun because there's a lot of cool global effects that change the game for all the players involved. Hearthstone really doesn't have global effects that change the flow of the game for one or more...

Waiting for your opponent to overextend so you can boardwipe has been in MTG since... literally the first ever release. What people seem to think is advanced strategy in this game is actually basic fundamental shit if you've ever played a CCG.

It's not trivial to write an OpenGL wrapper for a DX game, but it's not particularly hard either. It's been done for many games. It's also not that hard to add OpenGL support natively to a game. DX is just a library of APIs. It's not a whole language onto itself. I think a lot of people...

AMD was never bad on the software front, but never what I'd call good either.

AMD has never had good software engineers. The idea that they will magically acquire a team of software engineers capable of writing amazingly optimized drivers for a new platform is dubious at best.

Do you know anything about computers?

The only way this affects a PC you just built is if you weren't going to buy a Windows license for it. The hardware spec for this platform is going to go back quite a few years.

It's huge in that it will make Linux a lot more viable platform. I don't think I'd pick SteamOS over some other Linux distro though, especially if components of it are proprietary.

I don't see how 2v2 could work very well in this game.

Are you going to host this anywhere other than iShit?

Did tits ever need an excuse on Showtime?

Absolutely no one was expecting this win.

She was obnoxious on Caprica but she was supposed to be obnoxious. Anyway, the finale was great. Jon Voight lives to see another season, surprising.

The last scene would have been great if he had reached into the drawer and rolled out his knives just before they ended it.

WAR Class design was pretty good, except for a few broken mirror situations. Scenario design was good except for a couple shitty ones. Server code was dogshit. Client code was giant fucking elephant shit. Macro-level zone capture mechanics were just so beyond terrible that there isn't a...

It is still harsh as fuck to get legendary weapons because the precursors are generally pretty expensive. You can now get Ascended weapons though, which are crafted from normal mats. They are significantly less of a grind, but have the same stats as Legendary weapons. Legendary weapons...

Right, but if all you're getting is a bunch of boring +gooder loot then it's still the same boring game. Eventually you will hit a point where the odds on dropping anything more +gooder than what you already have for all your slots are very low. In fact, you'll just hit that point much faster...

The biggest issue is that the itemization system itself sucks. There's an incredibly narrow definition of what a good item is: All resist + primary stat + vitality + whatever the 3 best mods that can go in that slot are. And this is basically consistent across all 5 classes.

I just discovered this show and now I'm totally geeking out over it. I can't believe there's something resembling actual science fiction on TV.

I really doubt the margins on the RMAH made them absurd amounts of anything. Many people have done very realistic mathematical approximations and there's no way it was particularly profitable for Blizzard after the initial buy in. They did a cost/benefit analysis and came to the conclusion...

Handing the economy back to 3rd party sites and scammers seems awful. The AH wasn't the problem, itemization was the problem.

Did they wipe yet?

Will/Mac have absolutely no onscreen chemistry when they're not mad at each other.

The extreme left did not want Obamacare. Obamacare is based on the old Nixon administration plan and Romneycare. The 'extreme' left wanted single payer, like EVERY OTHER POST INDUSTRIAL NATION ON THE PLANET ALREADY HAS. That's the thing, the 'extreme' left in America is merely the CENTER...
