Gang violence. There's always that.

I put premium fuel in my car (roughly 20 cents a gallon more), and I'm out ~$60 every filling. That's putting 15 gallons in. However, this is Philadelphia area, so 100% the opposite side of the country. I suck.

Well, it's purely game mechanics. IE - How things work related to combat. It's only combat based, though. Nothing with world geography. They were trying to determine if anything they had done up until this point in the design process would have fatal errors to occur that would crash the...

So I just wanted to bump this up to the top. EQC's testing appears to be stalled out right now. I personally haven't had a lot of time to play recently, but every time I log in, even for just a few minutes, the server appears to be a ghost town. It's possible that people are just waiting...

You know, I probably heard the name wrong. It's Giamatti, but I heard Giovanni. Oh well.

I heard an un-intended spoiler on Opie & Anthony today about the new Spider Man. Giovanni Ribisi is playing The Rhino, and he's all tatted up. Might be good.

EQC's approach would be to allow boxing in the form of 1 running copy of the game per computer. If you have more comps, you can box. But he is dead against scripting. So let's say you work at a help desk or something and have access to 50 computers, you would not be able to have 50 accounts...

People seem to neglect that around 95% of the audience of these movies have NEVER READ a comic book, much less a Marvel comic of Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America or Thor. We are a small audience. With that said, they can't introduce all of the nuances that make the characters great in a...

YL's personal goals are to make a SoD-type server that he will run. Harakiri, on the other hand, is the "Up through Velious" type. YL just sees a server that only ever encapsulates 3 expansions as having a permanent stop point. Realistically, there is only so much someone can do with a...

You have a point, but had it not been for the way RDJ portrayed Tony Stark / Iron Man, the entirety that is modern day Marvel cinema would not have existed at all. He hit the ball so far out of the park that they were able to use it as a pillar to build Thor, Captain America, & The Avengers off...

For those of you following the progress of EQ Classic, here is a post that Yeahlight just made on the EQC forum. It's informative.

I had the best Ramen ever in September at the main Tokyo Station. It was "holy shit" good.

Here's the website of the place we stayed at: http://www.thehatanaka.co.jp/ And google has their own site for it:https://plus.google.com/111481390528...ut?gl=us&hl=en

I was making an email blog of the trip. Looks like we were there back in August of '09. (We went back this past September to show off our daughter to her relatives). Anyway, here's what I wrote back then: After reading this, I've realized just how much of a foreigner I was on this first...

Here are pictures of one of the meals. I'll look on google maps to see if I can find the place. Even though it's been a few years, I could pretty much locate it. (It was Really close to the Thousand Steps temple thing up on top of the mountain).

I spent a few days in St. Croix (US Virgin Island) this past December. It was a beautiful country and you don't even need a passport to get there. On top of that, the currency is USD. It was a really beautiful place. The days were roughly 85 degrees, and the water was like a bath. Went...

I was in Kyoto with my wife (she's Japanese) 2 years ago. We stayed at one of those traditional style hotels. It was roughly $600 USD per night, but it was incredible. Also, that price included breakfast and lunch every day. The hotel had a total of 26 rooms, and a "room girl" that took care...

In the ultimate universe they wanted to create a "new" Galactus. They couldn't imagine a being only a little larger than a sky scraper being able to eat an entire planet, so they envisioned it something like a swarm of Locusts or ants that can destroy the entire harvest of a farm in no time at...

Technically, Galactus is a swarm of insect-like things in the Ultimate Universe. It isn't a single entity as it was in classic marvel. http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/201/img022el.jpg(what they do)

You really really need to try the movie I mentioned. It's... well, I don't have a better word than to say it's just a beautiful film.

Let me elaborate on my above post of the Japanese film, Departures. (It won an Oscar for the best foreign movie). It's a film about a guy that's kind of a fuck up. In Japanese culture, when you are of age, you should be working. This guy couldn't hold onto a job to save his life. He gets...

While it's not a scene, pretty much the entire movie of "Departures". A Japanese drama. It was incredible, and I cried like a bitch a good 6-7 times during it.

While we haven't had an opportunity to test them yet, we've been assured that boats are fully functional, including the backwards travel plan them have. <--- Destination <--- | ----> Ocean ---> | <--- Origin <---

You're locked in the book until 35. Then you can just /sit to mediate. As far as the design choices from EQ, they were made based off of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I don't know enough about AD&D to say this perfectly, but supposedly hybrid type characters were at a leveling disadvantage...

Yup, that's me. And Balin... I'm thinking Rogue? Possibly The Awakened? Maybe Numinous.

Yeahlight is creating a single ruleset. Not an ever-changing one the way "real" EQ had. For example, he just decided to do away with the Hybrid Experience Penalty. This penalty was gone by the end of Velious, so he didn't see a need to keep it in for his version of the game. The reason for...

Keep in mind that all of this testing is ONLY game mechanics. It has absolutely nothing to do with the database. IE - Mobs, their drops, their locations, their spawn cycle, items in general, and drop percentages. There's a ton of work that still needs to get done. P99 has a nicely worked up...

Best sequel of all times: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Return of the Ooze NINJA, NINJA RAP!

I liked a vast majority of the film, but a few scenes just really bugged me. All in all, the movie kept me entertained. The above spoiler scenes were annoying though.

You can also watch previously streamed content (in case you didn't see it live) from the same site. Here it is: http://www.twitch.tv/toadh/videos?kind=past_broadcasts

And the next phase should be the early development of Raid mechanics, so that should be fun.
