    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I like EQ2 Voice Acting as well and honestly the graphics sold me over WoW at first as I just couldn't stomach the more animated art style. However, EQ2's graphics did not work out as advertised. Some of the world looked solid but it really taxed your machine and honestly it was very bland...

    Moana (2016)

    Agreed those are two very good ones. Probably better no doubt. Thought the short with Moana was just a cool concept. Pixar still have the best shorts.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    Caught the new trailer today... beyond pumped for this movie. May 2017 is going to be awesome for us. My kids are about to explode of the new Pirates movie. I just hope its good. Not necessarily disappointed with Pirates but the last couple are just meh. Guardians will be awesome.

    Moana (2016)

    Really enjoyed this movie. I felt it may have lacked a little bit of flow and polish towards the middle of the movie but it started strong and ended strong. I have two sons so the Frozen stuff doesn't quite impact our family as i'm sure it does anyone with daughters but I like Moana better but...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I wish someone would get the EQ name before it fades completely into the unknown. There's still a hint of their name among gamers but it's one generation away from people just scratching their head. It's sad really because it really did something great during a great time. That time has...

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

    So i'm going to probably be in the minority here but I went into this with the idea that was a "mixed" review movie and at best I would think it's a decent movie worth a matinee price. However... I was extremely surprised and felt this was one of the best stories I've ever seen in a movie...

    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    Honestly, I would be interested to some extent if they would give him all the EQ IP stuff and allow them to take whatever Pantheon is and make it into EQ whatever. EQ in it's current form is actually pretty sad. The more they add to these poor things the further is pushes me into a depression...

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

    Sorry as I think I should know this but what would be Dumbledore's age at this point and how much of his life are they expecting to cover? I would imagine they would try to keep him youthful enough to keep a different actor in place without getting Michael Gambon involved but who knows... Ian...

    Going today or tomorrow. Looking forward to it!

    Everquest Mysteries

    I started college in 1999 and pretty well demonstrated that I liked to stay on it probably more than I should. My parents essentially said that if I maintained a certain GPA, I could bring it the next year. It was probably the right thing to do looking back. Had a double major, part-time job...

    Everquest Mysteries

    I was 17 when EQ came out. Wasn't aloud to take my computer to my first of year of college which was difficult. Made up for things on the weekends but around my Junior year, I had my computer and I still don't comprehend how I made the time to play like I did. I had several family members play...

    Everquest II

    Yeah... enough is enough. Believe me, I was a pretty big fan of EQ2 at one time and it some how just keeps getting worse.

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    Just got back as well. Really liked it. Kids loved it. My wife thought this was her at least 2nd favorite origin story. I'm actually pretty close to that as well. I enjoy the heck out of Ant-Man though and I guess you have to keep IM at the top. I liked CA1 as well so it's a tough choice...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    There's several different takes on how Vader comes back. The one that seems to be floating around most heavily is Lucas's idea of the force ghost of a "two-face" type Anakin that is both light and dark side of the force. They keep bringing it up around various forums and reddit that this is...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    Awesome.... thanks. I need to jump back into some comics and get an idea on where all these powers fall on the scale. It was kinda easy to reason with it in the comics as each comic/story was relatively self-contained but now all these people are getting thrown into this movie universe and...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    That's perfect... Don't want to know too much but just curious if he left a bad taste in anyone's mouth or if he messed up the standard/context of Thanos. There's a lot of power that's been referenced but no one has really ever confronted it. Be curious how this all comes to a head.

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    Going to see this tomorrow.... was Dormammu done well? Really concerned how they establish a villain of his power and stature. Do you guys think we will ever see Eternity as well? I always thought he would be cool on the big screen. We also need a solid version of Galactus too. I'm still...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I've been holding this in for awhile but I just have to say the thread title triggers horrible Vex'Thal nightmares. Remember that mess when it was first released. If my memory serves me, we were getting no loot because the loot table wasn't populated on some, maybe all, of the bosses. The...

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

    So the latest news is Depp is coming to Fantastic Beasts 2 and he's potentially already made an appearance in one of the trailers? Sounds like they're attempting to get the hype train rolling full steam. I'm completely open to this movie. I think it is a universe that lends itself to a...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    This... I had no problem with Avengers 2 but honestly with Cap3 essentially being the Avengers we will all remember, A2 really just gave us certain pieces of the story that are necessary to move us closer to Infinity War. A2 really was a setup for pretty well all other movies so I guess it...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    The comments on the IGN article is about what I expect and it's not a bad thing necessarily... decent movie, great hero, meh villain, and an origin story leaving you waiting for the next role. I'm cool with waiting for where Dr. Strange goes next. I'm glad people will get to see his origin...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm going to reserve my judgement for a bit. I'll be honest, first impression was pretty hype but I calmed down quickly. I want a pretty substantial game library and I want to see how well it runs the game. I'm curious to see if those were full versions of Skyrim and 2K or are they "Nintendo...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Actually the first thing that came to my mind, as stated in my post, was revisiting places in Diablo I and/or II in a persistent world but yeah, I mentioned raids because to the general MMO public that equates to the "end game" and I think it would be really easy and potentially even...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Was there any real purpose in terms of revealing piece of Norrath's lore and any particular drops in PoM? I remember running it for the heck of it but I don't think we ever went back. I never really understand that place or at least its significance... maybe i'm forgetful.

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I'm not sure how popular of an idea this would be but I would absolutely love to explore the world of Diablo. There's so may landmarks I would like to see at that setting from Diablo I and II. The music would be awesome as well (I know that's probably not a big deal to some). Raid encounters...

    Who will be the next owners of EQ?

    Everquest is going to go down in history in terms of name much like your Quest for Glory, Kings Quest, etc. It's probably slightly more recognizable than those titles but it will suffer the same fate by having other titles just overshadow its name. It did it's job and it really is a shame the...

    Crowfall

    I'm not saying the game will be good or bad but I wish I had my $100 back. I'm just not seeing this game evolve into the game I had in my mind. For some reason the more I read and watch I see Rift. Not that Rift didn't have some good ideas and ton of potential in the beginning but they blew...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    With Legion being pretty positively received, OW appearing to do well, and I bet, Blizz is looking at their next big thing or at least really devoting their best and brightest to moving it further along, I would say it was just a good time. He probably didn't want to go through another major...

    Maybe the newly formed Bonfire Games will purchase it.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    It could be anything... they're going have a bit until they film again and it's not like they won't have access to the greatest make up artists in the world that can make him look like whatever they want... he could be making room for a new face piece/mask due to an injury he faces in VIII...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Grad class last night, work today, and then son's football practice (sigh... RL) but anyway, what do I need to do when I log int this evening to get started. I hate losing all this time but can't be helped. Glad to see such positive feedback thus far from several different sites. MMO's (and...

    What are your top 5 funniest movies?

    1. StepBrothers 2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 3. Robin Hood Men in Tights 4. Walk Hard 5. American Pie Honorable Mentions: A Mighty Wind, Spaceballs, Van Wilder I think Christmas Vacation and Elf are hilarious but they're "Christmas movies" to me but they are definitely very funny movies.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    The video just reminds me of moments where people would just hang around and talk. Random moments either waiting for raids to get together or when your name came up on a list, in the mean time you just would hang around. I would travel between Qeynos and FP time to time and run into all kinds...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    A lot of truth here.... I haven't experienced any danger in a MMO for years. There are a number of moments I was scared to death in EQ. I was thinking about losing my corpse, experience, and curious if I was even putting other people's time and energy on the line. Being a cleric my entire...

    Everquest II

    It is easily one of my favorite MMO's as well and had some really solid couple of years that many people missed. I believe it is almost my most disappointing MMO simply because they made such great strides and fell on their face pretty harshly and quickly. I'm probably inappropriately direct...

    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    Actually very little with the exception that sometimes less is more and also, don't be afraid of an idea.... you never know when you'll accidentally create a game that nearly 20 years later they'll be message boards filled with jaded old people reminiscing of the good ol' days of your game...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    EQ simply existed in a world where there was no standard or expectation not to mention was being played by a niche crowd primarily that had played single-player RPG's, table tops, and a host of other games that took work and patience. We were just happy to be in one place, a virtual world, with...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Sad no MMO will ever have these conversations tied to it. I'm not sure where it all went wrong but it was nice to have a smaller pool of items, quests, and mobs. Everything was more notable, memorable, and sought after. Instead now, everything is so generalized and I couldn't tell you a...
