See I wouldn't call any of that difficult. Hoping an invis spell doesn't fade doesn't make the game hard. It makes it exciting, but it doesn't make it hard. You're casting a spell and then running. You're talking about random events you have no control over so there is no skill involved. Hoping...

I started playing EQ around December of 2000. I remember making my first character (an Iksar Shaman) and when I got into the gameworld I couldn't see shit. I actually thought I had crashed and relogged a few times before I realized I was in game but it was really goddamn dark. So I immediately...

So you want to compare the amount of times someone died in their very first levels in a brand new genre of game that they had probably never experienced before to the amount of deaths in every game they played as an MMO veteran after that. I'm sure that data would be useful for something...

I know this is derailing the thread a bit but I just can't help it. Please show me this large list of "hard gameplay" that existed in EQ. Not being able to put 5 pure dps classes in a group and be successful fits your criteria for "hard" apparently so I guess you would consider pretty much...

There were things about EQ that were difficult, but not many. Saying it was "hard as shit" makes me think you played a different game than I did. EQ was actually pretty easy. Unlimited CC, debilitating slows, super buffs, only needing to press about 3 buttons. Yea that shit was hard dog.

If I have a wand with 16% increased damage with spells does that effect the damage of my minions?

This is going incredibly smooth. No lag, a 5 minute downtime at one point which was fixed promptly, fast loading times. I'm guessing they erred on the side of caution and made it seem like they thought they weren't going to be able to handle all this extra unanticipated load, when in fact they...

Do support gems stack? For instance, can I link 2 minion life gems to a summon zombie gem?

Is there a list form layout of all the "big" passives (i.e. Chaos Innoculation) somewhere? Trying to navigate the tree in a browser as a noob to see what's available is daunting.

I don't see any guides on page 7, how many posts per page do you have this site set to? EDIT: Found it, it's on page 14 if you use the default settings.

Question for the more veteran people. I've been playing minimally for the last week or so, started a witch as my first character and after perusing the passive tree decided there were enough summon passives that I would try summoner witch. I'm level 16 and have notice that while the zombies and...

I've dated girls uglier than you for breakfast

Yea they looked really strong. Their early game seems unstoppable, and even when they lose with their early aggression they were still able to come back against one of the best teams in the world in Frost.

Anyone else have a lot of trouble with the streams on both ESLTV and Twitch? So laggy for me

I don't see why we can't have a marriage of old mechanics and new. Instancing being a prime example. It seems a lot of the EQ reskinned crowd abhors instancing, whereas I think it was a great advancement for the genre and can be vastly improved upon. I'm going to use Chardok as an example here...

Darker than Black starts and stays strong. I didn't have to fight my way through the openers for that series like I did with so many other (albeit good) series TTGL is NOT a mature anime, it is not at all what he is looking for. Granted... it's awesome and he should watch it regardless but it...

I'll second (and third) the recommendations for Claymore, Hellsing, Basilisk, Samurai Champloo and Full Metal Alchemist Some others I liked that don't get mentioned too often (other than DTB) Darker Than Black Black Lagoon (Very similar to Cowboy Bebop) Witch Hunter Robin The GetBackers...

People most certainly did explore Azeroth and Kalimdor like that and I was one of them. I knew about whipper root tubers, timbermaw hold faction, where the best spots to farm Traveller's bags and where every single high level named was before most people had hit 60. I roamed all over both...

None of those things are going to stop a bot because all of those skills get written to a combat log. All the bot has to do is read the combat log to see when the mob casts teleport and turn the fuck around. The way Wildstar is doing it could actually be a solution though we are all laughing...

He did mention one interesting thing. Towards the end he talked about combat that rewards players based on skill. So if you can round up and kill multiple mobs at a time or string from camp to camp without resting there are perks to that. That could be interesting depending on what the rewards are.

What are you talking about man, this shit is totally new. It's got all different kinds of shapes... squares, triangles, parallelograms!!! Every other MMO only has circles!!!

Don't know if it was mentioned, but if you love KBS (as I do) you should also try to get your hands on Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout when it releases (which was just recently, and may be hard to find now) Here are some of my favorite beers in no particular order: Imperial Stouts...

See... I though God Bless America was absolutely fucking terrible. At one point in the movie he stops her from ranting to say "we can only kill people who deserve to die" and then in the very next dialogue says people who drink Monster Energy drinks should die... The movie made me want to kill...

I love most of QT's films but Szlia has a point. The guy doesn't write movies, he just pays homage to movies he loves in film form. They are wildly entertaining and he has a knack for comedic over embellishment but you will never find his movies to be thought provoking or beautiful. They are...

Full motion games are cool the first handful of times you play them but they lose their appeal fast. I returned Tiger Woods golf for the Wii after a week because I just wanted to sit on my goddamn couch and use a controller and it didn't even have that capability (who knows why). Making a weird...

Vanilla WoW most certainly had exploration and danger. There were a ton of un-soloable quests and elite mobs out in the world, hell even a lot of the non elite quests were difficult if you weren't a very good player. All the high level zones starting from around 48 had so few quests you were...

I think Quinn is in on the bombings and is a terrorist, I also think his head honcho (the guy eating the chicken and waffles, can't remember his name now) is the one pulling the strings. I think he let Brody live, not because he had a bout of conscience, but because he would be the perfect...

Weren't people saying the graphics looked dated and shitty? They look pretty impressive to me, especially the water. Ship raids on giant sea monsters? Giant forces of players hang gliding into a city to seige it from a cliff top? I'm in. I'm just picturing sitting in my corn field...

Another game I loved but really used to piss me off was Solomon's Key. So many damn levels. And even though it was about as simple as a game could be I used to play Gyromite for hours. I even had the stupid, useless robot, though I played with that by itself more than with the actual game.

That's a great tune, thanks.

Faxanadu was probably the best game I ever played on the NES. So amazing. I also loved Blaster Master

Pretty much all of "I am Sam" And all the Disney and Pixar movies have moments that put my heart in my throat. Especially that seen chuk put in from Up

That Electric Six video is great. These guys put out some pretty good stuff: And there isn't enough folk in this thread, this entire album is one of the best I've heard in years:

Aside from some of the obvious things like Pandora/Spotify/Slacker radio stations how do you find new music/shows? For me I do a lot of Spotify trolling but also use We Are Hunted and check out the various charts (especially the emerging chart): http://wearehunted.com/ For shows I don't...

Love me some Phantogram. Also, just wrap the video link in the video tag with the brackets around it to embed (There's an "insert video" button as well)

I've also been listening to King Tuff a lot. Really like this album:

The second one was poop in comparison to... anything. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I've been listening a lot to this new chillwave 80s movement stuff. I love it. I saw these guys this past Saturday in Brooklyn and they were awesome live:

This really does not look good at all. "Fear isn't real" Yo dawg that's so deep!!! And love isn't real, and anger, and sadness... you will assimilate... join the dalek army!!! That whole monologue was terrible.

No. WoW when it was first released was every bit as exciting and enticing a game as I have played. You may not agree with the direction it has gone but what most people fail to see is that they took the game in a direction their customers wanted. Get used to the fact you are in the minority if...
