    ARK: Survival Ascended

    It is definitely possible but typically the starting areas have few aggressive Dino types early on. Sounds like you were unlucky in that regard. I have had the same scenario happen to me while I was disconnected. If you're on a flying mount and get disconnected, it used to dismount you in...

    Wheel of Time

    I don't know if they will add it later, but there is so much missing from their initial run-in with the sea folk. Not to mention the big brawl in the sky. I have to believe they will at least put that in there somewhere.

    Wheel of Time

    In reference to the Seanchan, there were immediate, glaring, changes as well as underlying tones. If I remember it correctly from the books, the ones bound (forget the term) were never portrayed as liking what they were doing. The not so subtle skin tones they used for the two linked (?)...

    Wheel of Time

    I went into this with high hopes that it would be half-way decent, even though I knew it would not be close to the books. I can watch just about anything and be ok with it, but there are just too many bad ingredients to make any sort of decent recipe. Also, as with every other opinion, they...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Mouse and KB controls are pretty bad, but haven't tried it with a controller yet. Will do that tomorrow to see if it gets better.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Maybe it's just me, but that narrator in the opening cinematic seems like it was a bad choice, or rather there had to be much better picks out there. Almost sounded like he was trying way too hard. Being picky, I know, but it stood out enough for me to clearly notice.

    Wheel of Time

    Agreed. Condensing the proper material to include in the show. I've been trying to figure out the most egregious change, from my perspective, and haven't decided yet because there are too many. I'm with you on the Lan scene, too. The books were all about how rarely he would change...

    Wheel of Time

    What they did with Loial's appearance was one of those off-putting aspects that every time he was in a scene, all I could think about was how horrible he looked versus the book's description. My wife is watching it with me and she has since picked up the books. I told her it will be very...

    Wheel of Time

    I thought reading the first 3 books again before this came out was a good move, turns out I was wrong. I am usually open minded and flexible when it comes to adapting books to TV/Movies, but the changes were so jarring it ruined my ability to find any enjoyment in the show. There are no...

    Appreciate the insight and opinions. My wife does extensive research on the houses before we even go look at it, and the neighborhood it is in. Unfortunately, there are only 2 school districts that we have confidence in or it would be a move much farther away. Houses are selling like crazy...

    So, my wife and I are looking to buy a larger home due to our newest addition, and needing an extra room for my office. We have been looking for months and like everyone is posting here, the prices to buy are pretty high right now. We live in a town where it seems a lot of folks are migrating...

    May be an odd question

    Either they are really good at hiding who was responsible for their physical security or they had it assigned to someone that isn't exactly security minded in that sense. I have seen that all too often where an Engineer or someone in Safety is designated to oversee the security for a Plant of...

    May be an odd question

    Thanks, Harshaw. I found that guy, too, but he is the CSIO. I am looking for whomever is in charge of their physical security at all of their locations, assuming they have one. Some go by Director of Physical Security but I couldn't find that either.

    Does anyone know who the Chief Security Officer is at Youtube or Google? I have searched through many different approaches but have not found anything at all. You guys seem to know just about anything so I thought I would try here.

    This is a bit off topic, but speaking of pet names. Had a friend name his Half-Elf character Dirty Sanchez and about halfway through the day, out of the blue, we noticed a character in our group named Jobartikfrot. We were all thoroughly confused for about 2 minutes as to how we managed to get...

    Saga of Lucimia - Group based MMO.

    "Without even one of them the entire party could die." I too hold out hope for an in-depth MMORPG that I can be emerged in and feel like a part of that world. But like the rest, I have tried just about every game that even peaked my interest a little and none of them has scratched that itch...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Honestly, I'm not sure. It's the only time it happened and coincidentally I had all 6 buffs on at the same time. I assume it has something to do with the mobs you mentioned. Though it would be a nifty idea considering the name of the skill. (Kind of why I thought about it in the first place)

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I leveled my rogue from 61 to 100 in Outlaw spec doing invasions. Only once did this happen so I am not sure if it was from the RtB buffs, but I turned into a skeleton. I looked at my buffs and I had all 6 up. Is that some special side ability they get if you are lucky enough to have all the...

    Does anyone know if we will be able to get the pocket fel spreader in the expansion? I've seen posts saying people get 5 or 6 in a night, but this entire time since the pre-launch I have only seen 2 invaders up in Orgrimmar. I used my DH over and over, falling to his death to reset the doom...

    Legend of the Red Dragon (LORD)

    There was some bbs game that my friend and I played alot, but I can't remember much about it, nor the name. What I do remember is something to do with Conan, maybe? You fought other players by throwing your weapons at each other, I think, and it was full loot (?) We finally got a weapon that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's strange, I was able to do it roughly 30 times in a row yesterday in the crossroads invasion. I would fly past the crack in the ground and back across. However, there was a time where I flew halfway through Ogrimmar before I saw the Stage quest on the right finally disappear. All the...

    If you are close to another zone you don't even have to log off, just fly out of the invasion zone until you see the quest go away, then fly right back in.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So, if you fly South along the road out of the crossroads, right past the first tree, on the right hand side there is a hill with a banner and some crates by it. When stage 2 or 3 hits it spawns some horde npcs. You can get a few bandages and a food buff, but more importantly there is an elite...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree, a short time available invasion mount would have been sweet. But instead we got a pet. What I don't get though is why pets are actually being bought for like 2k on our server. You can literally buy one in three invasions if you just participate.

    Hell, I work from home and may look into it. Though I would have a hard time charging people in such need as it would feel like taking advantage. I guess if I were really in need of work it would be different. There are some real snakes in the grass that come out during these times so I hope...

    I saw that or a place just like it as well in the Barrens. Also, there was a spot when you killed an elite, back out of the immediate area and went back in, he was there again. Killed him 4 times in like 10 seconds for roughly 22.5k a pop. Then someone found me and ruined my fun, haha.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree with Blizzard in the fact that it was a bit OP for lower levels. I was killing the mini bosses on my 72 outlaw in two shots, the elites in one shot. The events were going much faster, so those with multiple toons would have an easier time. Even though it needed to be fixed I still...

    Almost positive it was hotfixed. I was doing the Azshara one over and over and I went from proccing 100-200k, to about 21k with the buff. Once more and more people were catching on it was fixed pretty fast. Just wish I realized it days ago.
