There's no studio in existence today that can take a well-established IP (especially a literary one) and produce an MMO from it that's anything more than a pathetic cashgrab.

Saw this like 6 years ago when it was called Realm of the Mad God.

Then it follows that the speed of light must also be much slower than we're told. O how we've been deceived by yet another centuries-old lie!

Trespasser was at least ahead of its time. Star Citizen has no such excuse.

So in other words, @Lumi's peers.

Because wind blows uniformly and at a constant speed at all times, huh.

Too late, he's been irreparably damaged for a long time.

I don't recall laughing at anything except the goat puppet's name.

From the looks of it he's had more than a few run-ins with

That is not dead which can eternal lie: the aestivation hypothesis for resolving Fermi’s paradox

Handicaps won't be on the menu.

Sounds like another brilliant way to extend content dev timelines while continuing to bilk fanboys. Kick back and relax, guys. We'll do it next year.

I just read it at WHY POST-MILLENNIAL MOVIES ARE SO BAD by Rob Ager instead.

I yearn for days long past, when publishers and processors held the grandiose designs of these delusionaries in check.

Good choice, because this movie sucked. The plot is just a tangled string of ridiculous contrivances. I've never read the story but I can't imagine the movie is a very faithful adaptation.

Picard just doesn't do this justice, need an icon for ol' Chuck too.

Don't forget "too cheap" and "all-around incompetent".

One of the most basic player interactions never intended, but game's still a sandbox, right? Right!?

Only the backers deep into RSI-CIG's gravity wishing well will live to see release, while the rest of us observing from an impartial reference frame will be long gone.

You're not wrong. It's drab and sterile. Where there's color it's usually only blue and orange, like the palette of a poster for some forgettable sci-fi movie. Even Roberts' abominable Wing Commander movie from 1999 had more personality.

the prostitute's creed

Yeah, let's celebrate garbage games made by fools themselves because the bar needs to be any lower than it already is. uh-huh... TSM Kripp Albion Online Until ~1:30AM EDT! http://bit.ly/AlbionKripp (Sponsored)

The Book of Bunny Suicides: Little Fluffy Rabbits Who Just Don't Want to Live Anymore

It's not. It's from a German company called Sandbox Interactive (as if they expected the name alone to imbue their product with the qualities it describes). The AO devs are just a band of incompetent millennials who transplant concepts from games they like (namely EVE) into their own...

Anyone know the status of Squander 42?

There wasn't quite the same incentive to cheat during beta as there is now that it's launched.

For anyone still on the fence, be advised they launched this game with absolutely no anticheat protection. They didn't even so much as checksum their (only partially obfuscated) managed assemblies, the bare minimum of effort. Speedhacks, zoomhacks, teleports, attack/ability range hacks, bots...

She just had to be the subject of his dangling participle.

Ava DuVernay’s 'A Wrinkle in Time' Is the Ultimate Adaptation Stop this swiftly tilting planet, I want to get off.

Title: A Wrinkle in Time Genre: Adventure, Family, Fantasy Director: Ava DuVernay Cast: Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Peña, Levi Miller, Deric McCabe, André Holland, Rowan Blanchard, Will McCormack...

That in itself is the problem. The "evergreen via expansions" approach doesn't make for good persistent games and I defy anyone to name a long-running MMO that's undergone years of content accretion and experimentation without becoming an abomination begging to be put out of its misery.

It's nice to see a bit of Russian collusion that's actually plausible for a change.

But the devs decided these traits are best represented by bearded bobblehead baby graphics, huh. Of all the ways to sabotage your chances at success, an aesthetics-gameplay mismatch has to be the dumbest.
