Wipe happening soon, with new systems, etc.

I really enjoyed the first Highlander film, iconic. The rest made no sense to me. Couldn't stand the show except for the Joan Jett episodes. Hercules and Xena weren't really my thing. But the few shows I saw came from the right place and were watchable. They certainly aged better than most of...

Saw them with Guns and Roses I don't remember how fucking far back. Was a good show, but Axl pulled his usual bullshit and forced us all to wait two hours after Metallic did their bit. Didn't sell my youngest for the tickets though.

Can't bring myself to care about this movie or anything after endgame. Superhero fatigue is real.

FTFY. Welcome to the human race.

Yeah, Netflix getting it would have been a disaster on so many fronts. But the amount of debt Warner Bros and HBO will have to absorb is going to crush them for years. Hope it all works out but the golden age of good content might be behind us with all of these mergers turning every creative...

Nobody gets cancelled here because of pronouns either. Does make a good story. We do love to spend other people's money on stupid shit though. Name me one government on the west coast that isn't billions of dollars in debt because of the virtue signaling progressive idiots that keep getting...

It's pretty hard to beat Cali's level of regressive stupidity. I live here and still can't believe how out of touch most of the voters are. But we're also pretty good at exporting that stupidity, especially up the west coast through Oregon, Washington and all though British Columbia. Should...

I'd like to order a Ham and Bear sandwich. Make it a thing. Momentum for new Chicago Bears stadium plan moves toward Hammond, Indiana

First thing I learned to do when playing EQ was training the zone at Blackburrow on my lvl 6 rogue while running for my life. First time I did that I zoned back in and there were corpses everywhere. I laughed and kept doing it until a GM told me that wasn't cool. I thought it was part of the...

Kind of agree. But think it's mainly what happens to most streaming series in the last ten years or so. They just milk the concept for too long and it gets boring. Even House, which was one of my favorite shows, stuck around too long for me and I never watched the last couple of seasons. As...

WoW was a new type of game for most people who had never played EQ, or MuDs, etc. But WoW is way old now and the vast majority of players don't care about the old stuff. Even most of WoW's playerbase moved on to newer games and game types a long time ago. If they wanted more of the same then...

The boomer derail is taking up valuable NFL discussions and insights. I'm a boomer, proud of it. American boomers won, AT EVERYTHING. Y'all just jealous. Now let's get back to arguing about the important life changing NFL topics of the day.

Most first rounders are a bust. So, like every other sports fan, go back to the hopium pipe.

Only great moment of this year's superbowl. Even better than the patsies losing.

False equivalence. And if you know anything about the Raiders and their fans, we are never fair weather. Although, I will admit to being very tested when they hired that idiot coach from the Patriots and then gave fuckwit Brady part of the team.

Frankly the format is stale. The cost to create a mmo is so high that innovation rarely happens. And the people that play mmos have invested years of time in characters older than their kids (who are in college now) so they refuse to leave ancient geriatric fossilized games. And the younger...

Sometimes the herd mentality of this board reminds me of the karens protesting ice.

Not necessarily. All that really matters in modern business is who can afford the better lawyers and how long you can afford to pay them. Any business worth anything is usually in a lawsuit of some sort. And typically more than one. It takes a long time to get a court date for business lawsuits...

Couldn't finish the first season. Too fucking preachy and forgiving of the Soviets. Ended up fast forwarding to the moon parts and then gave up. I like much of Apple TV's other scifi though.

Same, only seen a few episodes. Great premise, kind of hilarious, looking forward to the rest. I'm new to Apple TV. Surprised how good most of their Science Fiction is. Woke casting but they don't preach for the most part.

Finally got around to trying Apple TV a couple months ago, mainly to see Foundation. Didn't try this show at first, seemed goofy. But I ended up really liking it. Something about a Republican constantly having to save idiot liberal hippies from themselves is endlessly funny to me.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this. Whoever is in charge now will want to continue developing the game. But with all the original devs gone and with the possibility that they are farming it out to cheap overseas devs, it doesn't sound promising at all. Especially if the people...

Just a guess, but it sounds like he had to give his outside investors more than 50 percent and they voted him out. Back stabbing at that level is very common, Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple by the CEO he hired away from Pepsi (or Coke?). Took years before the Apple board realized their mistake...

Starting a new IP on kickstarter, World of Furry Elves. $1000 (per month) buy in. First alpha sometime after 2099. Don't wait! Send your money NOW!

It's probably just normal layoffs for a gaming company. Most devs are not needed for the whole development cycle. Money management could be an issue to though. Right now at 7am pst mid week, Ashes has more players online than ESO and Ashes is just an alpha game. But doom and gloom is par for...

The tuck rule is calling. Fuck the refs.

If it has elves people will buy it.

Unfortunately, I don't think it will happen. Or at least not until someone wins the AI race (or it completely collapses). Amazon and the rest of the tech lords are all in on AI. Everything else is just a distraction.

Success is somewhat a subjective standard in the mmo industry. There a some who claim that if you don't beat WoW your game is a failure. That's a pathetic metric from pathetic people. Then there are games like EQ still chugging along, making money, and with a bare bones team of devs. I haven't...

Ugg, it's been a really long time. But couldn't you farm wisps or something for a light source at low level in EQ?

QA has been farmed out to idiots (raises hand) that pay for the privilege to test the game for them.

This is just sad. I was watching a recent video about the games with the most players. It was created a bit before New World's closure announcement. New World was in the top ten, with more players than many mmos that are still chugging along, making money and not even close to top ten in player...

I was fine with the original EQ "vision" (oops) that had racial stat differences, good and EVIL, harsh death penalties, xp penalties for ogres, another xp group penalty for being a SK, faction penalties, etc. I even would be fine with boons and penalties for whatever deity you pick. I like all...

Yeaah.. ok. 3 poly models with a couple color filters are not what I am looking for in modern games. That said, for me the classic sk (even with the xp penalty) was my favorite class in any game. And classic servers don't work for me because I hate repeating content over and over. So give me a...

The graphics suck. That is why I haven't followed this game. The only reason I'm interested now is because of the SK class. If the sk game play has a decent resemblance to old school EQ before all the expansions, mercs, etc. Then I can overlook the graphics.

All these crowdfunded games fall into the same trap. Because it's easier to sell hopium than actual product. Star Citizen is just the best at it.

Damn it. Now i have to check it out.

Haven't followed this game at all. Does it have a SK class? With real fd, etc?

The difference between team sizes mostly a function of the differences in computer hardware. Art assets for modern games take much more effort than the original wow team ever had to deal with. And coding today has to deal with all kinds of threats that had never even been conceived 20 years ago...
