    Gerrymandering Supreme Court Case

    The court has already ruled (with caveats) that gerrymandering isn't illegal. And they really don't want to get involved in doing the mapping themselves. So even if they rule against Wisconsin, it will most likely be a very narrow ruling that doesn't effect other areas in the country.

    Guild Wars 2

    Triumphant armor is the unique WvW skin. It's used for the exotic track and the ascended Mistforged Triumphant Hero armor.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Won't be playing this if there is a cost above and beyond the WoW sub. I'm sure a lot of us scrubs feel the same way.

    Guild Wars 2

    WvW is in a weird place. They originally sold it as a DAoC type of activity, but other than 3 sided warfare it doesn't capture the old DAoC feel. It's mostly just trains of blob vs blob now. Which can be fun, but personally i can only take it in small doses. Use to be a bit of a roaming scene...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'll give this a go. Mainly because I missed out on Vanilla when it came out, was still heavily invested in EQ at that time. Doubt I'll last long though. They waited a bit too long to bring this out. I just don't have the patience anymore for crappy old graphics tied to boring old style grinds.

    They were very slow about balance patches even in GW1. That's just the way they do things.

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

    I haven't spent a dime. Don't have a problem with anyone that did though. Why you care is the real issue. You spend a lot of time noodling in places you supposedly hate, and you do it by choice. All so you can denigrate people who are doing and discussing something they enjoy. Ick.

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

    A lot of new games are "MMO"s now, of a sort. Playing Destiny 2 pc atm. Feels like a mmo to me. Levels, group quests, raids, gear grind, etc. The gaming studios are pulling away from single player games and creating hybrid mmo / cooperative types now. So in a sense MMO's won. I think it's the...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Lol. Could be. Perhaps it's because I grew up on the original Star Trek, even TNG is a distant second for me. Spent the last few years casually rewatching all the series in order (finished last year). And I ended up liking Voyager compared to DS9 and Enterprise. DS9 is shit. And Enterprise was...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I would be if Gene were still with us. Then again even TNG was unwatchable the first couple of seasons. I didn't get into that show until the Borg came around. I haven't seen any of the Discovery episodes but not in any hurry to even care. Star Trek isn't what it use to be and hasn't been for a...

    Guild Wars 2

    The hard part with GW2 is just figuring out what to do and then sticking to it. I finally picked up 2 legendaries a few months ago but could have had them a couple of years ago. Had most of the mats and hard stuff accomplished. Just had to spend some time with the run around bs. But I was always...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Meant for Chanur but I have 2 my two cents.. The Chargers this year were scary on paper and it looks like the injury bug isn't too bad yet (not like the last few years). So they were always going to compete and be dangerous, especially in the division. The real issue is how far the Broncos have...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Brother plays a ton of TESO and GW2. He likes TESO because for him it's like playing the single player games which he has done multiple times. TESO went for the single player customers who lived in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim and don't have much experience with mmos. And it seems to work for...

    The Wintersday and Halloween festivals are great. I waste a bunch of time in them every year. The activities are fun. And I love the jumping puzzles. They are really tough to learn though, possibly the hardest jumping puzzles in GW2. Wish they had more tough puzzles like that. Guild Wars 1 had...

    Well I live in San Diego and still have a soft spot for the Chargers (even though their owners are retards), so it's cool that they were the only AFC team to win.. NOT. WTF! is up with the Raiders? Damn, I had a bad feeling about the early hype. Too many similarities to the overhyped Raider...

    Server only matters for WvW. PvE and PvP is on the mega server. Guilds are cross server.

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

    Thankfully, Agnarr killed most of my EQ nostalgia. There are still things I would like to see from EQ Classic in Pantheon (or any mmo). But from the videos I've seen so far (the play streams with Brad and the group, etc), Pantheon seems to already have the EQ feel and I'm sure I'll have fun...

    Guild Wars 2

    Doesn't matter what server you are on if you only PvE. Mega server allows you to play with anyone (Have to chose US or EU though). If you want to WvW then usually the top servers (see the wiki for the list of locked worlds) have more combat, larger zergs. Blackgate, Jade Quarry, Fort Aspenwood...

    Aye, the vanilla storyline is garbage, couldn't hit the skip button fast enough. Unfortunately, because of that I skipped through most of the other stories (LWS2, HoT, part of LWS3) before realizing that they are pretty good. Going to have to go back and do them again on another toon. I...

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

    BDO's grind is the only reason I don't play that game anymore. Classic EQ's grind was different. It was more of a journey and there was a lot to do, gear to get, etc. And there were plenty of players at all levels back then. If Pantheon does a good job of making the middle levels enjoyable then...

    Guild Wars 2

    You can do the dungeon track in WvW for the currency. Have 2 legendaries and that's how I got the dungeon coins. Doesn't take long. Just follow the zerg around over the weekend and that should get you plenty. Plus a ton of exotics (mostly weapons). You may have to wait a few weeks for the...

    Guild Wars 2

    WvW gives you Proofs of Heroics, I think after each level. You can use those to buy hero points. They are stored in your coin inventory. A lot of people don't realize those exist. A friend of mine who plays a ton of WvW was bitching about having to get hero points for his alts. I asked if he'd...

    Guild Wars 2

    My main complaint with HoT was the destruction it did to WvW. I didn't mind the PvE and kind of liked the vertical zones. Loved the gliding. But I spend most of my time in WvW and HoT killed it. Took a long time for ANET to fix that. To ANET's credit WvW is much better now, but HoT lost a lot...

    Finished the griffon yesterday. Then started on an alt in the older zones, trying to get my engineer up to speed. Mounts change the game, but the griffon is definitely king of bypassing mobs, hard jumps, walls, etc.

    Really enjoyed this expansion so far. The zones are huge, lots to explore. Finished the story, that was fun and not too tough, didn't die that much. Working on the griffon mount. Should have it tonight or tomorrow. Not sure what to do in PoF after the griffon mount though.

    Login rewards sometimes drop Black Lion Salvage Kits. They have a better rate for getting dark matter. Be sure to log in every day even if you are not playing, the login rewards are pretty good.

    I still hope this comes out and is a good game. Never funded this. Was going to but by the time I got around to it they had millions in the bank already. I like to fund games / etc that I like and I think need the help. Chris doesn't need my money. Sounds like they need some help though, this...

    That has something to do with the San Diego ... err LA Chargers coaches and ownership. Don't know what exactly what, but it has to be. For the last 3 or 4 years the Chargers have had a rash of team crippling injuries. Been a Raiders fan forever, and always will be. Moved to San Diego a couple...

    Guild Wars 2

    Yeah. GW2 is the game I always go back to. A huge reason for that is that it is so easy to go back to. Also there is a ton to do, and most of it is optional. For most other mmo's you have to study for days to remember all the intricacies of playing effectively. And then grind gear for days or...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Life is probably common. Intelligent life is probably common. Idiots like Kim Jung Il are probably common in every "intelligent" species. Planets devoid of life because of nuclear fall out are probably common.

    Go check out the other zones too. You can get most of the masteries you need by exploring them a bit. Also, the second zone event seems to be farmed quite a bit during the weekend. Last couple of zones are a bit harder to navigate (and tougher mobs), but if you spend enough time in them, they...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I usually don't have an issue with RMT in mmos as long as the devs do a good job of keeping it to a minimum. You can't eliminate them, but if they're not too obvious, then I can ignore it. The problem with this server (and many asian mmos) is that there are so many rmt farmers / exploiters and...
