I have funded exactly one kickstarter project so far. That is Project Eternity. When I donated they already had received double their initial goal. So why did I contribute? Because they had some very clearly defined stretch goals that made the project look even more appealing if it reached those...

Why the Sequels Suck part II The matrix plot craters regarding why people are used for energy and why the machines keep preserving Zion ect. could have all been neatly summed up if the origins of the machine system were explored further. The only thing we get are a few lines by Morpheus in...

If you watched the original Berserk series with English dubs, thenthisvideo is pretty damn funny. "My love for you is like a truck."

There is no good reason given in the movies as to why the machines use people for energy. There are plenty of other power generation technologies that do not require sunlight. I think this would have been an excellent point to address and might serve as a reason to explore the origins of the...

The matrix sequels were probably the largest wastes of potential movie making of the last decade. The first matrix set up near limitless possibilities for what kind of action and story elements could be introduced. And yet the things we get are flat and uninteresting. So yeah, it's way too...

Meh, I used this thread to spew ideas for hypothetical "never-gunna-happen" games. I figured that posting them here would be less obnoxious than starting new threads. I mean, considering that EQ:Whatever has no info and tons of people were throwing around what if's, it seemed like the place to...

Case in point^ Hmm... ok Monsters purchase things with souls. Souls are gained from killing people, or NPC monsters, or opposing faction player monsters, and maybe a few other activities, but mostly killing. They offer the souls up at various altars spread throughout the world. Getting to...

Hardcore republicans are fucking idiots, Hardcore democrats are fucking idiots. Being hardcore anything, increases a person's chance of fucking idiocy by at least 300%. Sounds like EQ2 is being developed by the duke nukem forever school of design. Take a but load of time, waste a shit load of...

What draws people to mmo's these days? It's pretty pretty graphics and the ability to choose a bajillion character customization options. Modern MMO's have basically degenerated into playing with digital dolls and action figures. Except when I played with my G.I Joes in the sandbox...

Everquest was punishing in the early and mid game. Late game however, death was not the grim specter it had once been. This is because by the time the player was max level or approaching it, they had hopefully established a good network of allies and friends that could help them when shit met...

If you want a buff to only effect melee characters, then attach the buff to equipment only melee would really use, their weapons. Have melee weapons trigger defensive benefits every time they are used in a melee attack or with a melee skill. Each weapon could be given a different flavor of...

Tera combat can be really fun, but it is the most susceptible to latency. Wow combat feels really responsive, but quickly turns into a hot mess of cooldown rotations. GW2 has a handle on keeping runaway skill sets in check. But tends to become a spam fest while in groups with lots of...

lothix is right. A game that wants to be a good sandbox needs a variety of facets, well beyond combat and loot. I think every activity that has ever been introduced into a MMO system can fall into one of three categories: Adventuring, Trade, Politics. Adventuring is the facet that everyone...

Draegan, I can see the system you are talking about working sort of like realm of the mad god. You can keep upgrading the auto-attack, but you also have some special skills that consume a resource. It works well in a space shooter or bullet hell scenario where attacking is just a constant...

I think the problem is not making interesting encounters.... it's expecting those encounters to be repeated dozens of times each. I hate farming or repeating content. However I understand the effort and time that goes into making even a single encounter and realize a game that has a bunch of...

GW2 didn't eliminate healing. It just made everyone responsible for their own heals to an extent or allowed some people to specialize in group healing if they really wanted to. That is very different than NO HEALS FOR YOU. If I were to make a no heals system I would do three things. First...

Get away from repeatable scripted encounters then. Give players all those nifty utility spells. Then create a vast pool of fight mechanics that engage the players and require them to utilize those skills. Then create a robust monster generator system. Allow monsters to have variable skill sets...

Last time I experienced anyone giving a shit about dps was back during Ulduar. I took quite the break from wow after that. (don't play now) It was kinda fun being competitive about damage, but in all honesty I couldn't give two shits. The dps "race" is so one dimensional and really adds nothing...

I saw this movie just the other night. I can second the part about not being original. By the end of the movie I had dubbed it "Koreon the Professional" but it was entertaining enough for me to finish it. As for movies to check out.... Police Story and Police Story 2 I always...

I watched the phantom menace once. I have yet to actually see Episode II or III. However, I did watch the review videos, where the guy had a hooker in his basement and an obsession with Tostinos pizza rolls. I thought the story arc he had going in the videos with the woman, and her escaping, to...

UP surprised me a lot. The first 10 minutes of that movie were incredibly emotive. Just a really excellent film. Memories, is an anime movie produced in 1995 and is comprised of three short films. Each film has it's own style and mood but all three could be classified under science fiction...

EQ today... that needs a whole lot of definition before anyone can answer this question. EQ didn't stop; it's still here. It's almost unrecognizable compared to version 1.0, but it's here, today, right now. So you need to define what era of EQ you want to see revisited... And for many of...

How would one go about joining a specific town. I signed up and got paired with a bunch of random people.. already had one person attack and injure someone else, and the bank is getting raped. I plan on eating crisps as I watch the world burn... Anyways, is it too late to join the Foh RR town?

I couldn't help but think of Tuco and his forge on a wooden cart in his garage when I saw this.

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. This would just be TOO perfect... Tyen fucked up our contest, Keg fucked his girlfriend. That is code of Hammurabi shit right there. An eye, for an eye... or in this case a thumb in the ole brown eye. I am sorry, I have to remain...

The sequels were a let down, mostly the last one. That was a wreck. Although... whenever I baby sit some burster maxes in Planetside 2 with my engie... I always think about the final defense of Zion scene with that kid running around reloading the exo-suits. Starts about 1 minute in.

You are thinking of Flashback, Another World or (Out of this World) and... Heart of the Alien.

I keep things simple. I despise everyone before I really get to know them. Then, when I really get to know them, I don't have to change my mind; Let's me be consistent. If it appears like I am cordial or polite, that's just an act. Deep down I am waiting patiently for the day when you reveal...

I dunno, trying to track someone down in real life, and posting pictures and addresses of the places you think they might be is pretty out there. At least now he wont have a stage on which to display his spectacle anymore and hopefully will give up on the whole thing. I don't really care...

Cam, You're not alone in this. Lots of people gave her money. Just you and Blazin where some of her biggest sponsors. If Ravv's tits raced in Nascar, You and Blazin would have your names all over that hood.

Do you want to know what that is, Cam? It's that feeling you have had all your life. That feeling that something was wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad, driving you to us. But what is it? The Skank-trix The...

Best games of all time... dunno, I haven't played every game. I have played a bunch, but not all of them. Games that stand out in my mind the most... Tetris Super Mario Brothers 3 Final Fantasy IV Street Fighter II Zelda: Link to the Past Myst DOOM Diablo Tomb Raider Baldur's Gate...

That woman is the definition of "first world problem". Everything she complained about was horse shit. Someone like her can only exist in a country with enough wealth, and enough idiots for her to leach off of. Interesting how her income has rapidly declined as her looks have faded. I wonder...

She's probably bilked more than $600* out of the remaining members of the forum over the years; Especially if you start adding in approximate costs of the "special help" she has received. Also, whenever you notice something else like that... a wizard did it. *Note all values are a complete...

My ms paint skills are no match for Urgoslav's Photo choppin; but in light of recent events I figured this thread needed an update...

Some women treat their pussies like purses (Purssies?), ready to open them whenever they need some quick cash. I call those women cunt artists; but I say the first part really quickly. It's funny though, reading through her original post. She really understands the mind and psychology of an...

Lots of people know this, but I still think it's funny. The "inspiration" for the 'Life of Pi' was a book written in 1981 called 'Max and the Cats'. The two books share some shockingly similar elements. Instead of a tiger it was a jaguar, and instead of some Indian, polytheist, zookeeper's...

This really is the heart of the travel issue. Long travel times are not the issue if content is found while traveling. Look at DayZ. Travelling across a large map can take you a while, so you try to find a vehicle. But going from one place to the next is never quite the same, because you aren't...

I've spouted off about how I would like to see factions and reputations used a few times in the EQ Next thread. So I will try to be brief. Basically the premise I keep coming back to is to have a skill based system akin to UO. However, to break things up a bit and to give people better...

I would make it so that the plaintiff in any case is liable for all legal fees, if they should lose. Way too many innocent parties settle, just to avoid the more expensive prospect of going to court, and that is pure bullshit. This would hopefully eliminate a good share of frivolous lawsuits.
