I've never heard anyone else talk about it, but growing up we used to have 'Breaded Tomatoes' about once a week. Basically crushed tomatoes with old/stale bread crumbled up in it. Added just a little salt & sugar, and it was actually quite good. We grew our own tomatoes and canned them, so it...

The leaves have Fal'len. But more seriously, human is the only race right now.

Babe, wake up. Pantheon is testing raids and had 350+ in the newbie area.

Mr. Sox, I never claimed it was an EQ drone(clone?). But I do think it feels more like EQ than EQ2 does. I think Pantheon has a chance to take EQ/EQ2 players in such numbers that Darkpaw/EQ will get scared and sue Pantheon due to likeness or trademark.

I've been enjoying what little of Pantheon there is to play, which has been a pleasant surprise. It dawned on me that their messaging/PR has been complete shit since Brad's death. It's their biggest failure. Even after playing the goddamn game, I still can't find enough interest to sit and...

I know this thread is falling gifs, but I played during the stress test and enjoyed it. I had given up hope and stopped paying attention to it long ago. Seeing the email invitation caught me totally off guard. Quick things I noticed: Loading/zoning was so much faster than I anticipated. I put...

It officially launched a little over a year ago. Honestly, it has made big strides, and improved every patch. The biggest issue remains low population.

So this game is closing in on a year, and they're planning on releasing their Alchemy (magic) system during the Anniversary event. If you wanted to give it a shot, it's a full 3 weeks - and I imagine the population will be inflated during this time. The game has improved a lot since launch, so...

I didn't even know the movie was out until someone mentioned it today. When I looked it up there was only 1 daily showing, so I figured I better catch it before it's gone. I went in with no clue what to expect, so I was thinking Warcraft movie quality. It was much better than expected. Pretty...

A little over a month ago they had a free weekend. I picked it up and have been playing it off-and-on since. It would be hard for me to recommend to most people, because it still feels 'unfinished'. The last patch added a new zone, a few QoL improvements, ability adjustments, 8 quests, and some...

Ember's Adrift is an interesting (and recently launched) game that gives me the early EQ vibes. They recently had a free weekend, and I picked it up. It's light on the content, but it's scratching my itch for now. In other news: it looks like EQ gets a UI update this year, and DX 11 porting!

Just got back from an early showing. Two others joined who had never read the book, and both of them went in blind. All of us liked it. One friend thought it was great to excellent. Other is interested in the book now - so that's nice. The visuals were very Villeneuve, so no complaints at all...

100M in 3 weeks of the rollout. It will release in an additional 47 territories within the next 3 weeks, including China/US - so things are looking good for a sequel. I have to believe they will announce it while it's still in theaters to draw in anyone on the fence.

Agree. I think 3D is best when used more for depth/scale. The first good use I can remember was Avatar's 3D . I liked the novelty of things 'popping out' of the screen/page when I was a kid, but now it just seems like a distraction (gimmick like you said).

I probably fall under the tech informed user category. I haven't written any substantial code, but I feel like there is a point where software designed for users gets taken over by the unceasing need to collect/monetize. At that point, the experience begins a steady downward fall. Objectively -...

Damn, I was actually enjoying this. I could tell the servers were experiencing some latency but was hoping it would eventually get better. Whatever the reasons, it sucks. I'm just glad I didn't have more free time to sink into it.

Her looks caught my attention, but wow - what a trashy, fucked up situation. If anything, the boy sounds like the more mature one. Married female nursery worker, 20, is jailed for 30 months for having sex with 13-year-old boy and having his baby

Wow, no kidding. I've also been looking for a solution to all these cancerous modal windows. Very nice!

Reign of Darkness Steam Link So I ran across this game on another forum, found it on Steam, and was surprised to see it had good reviews. Looks like a WoW clone, but supposedly has a pretty interesting class system. It has been in Early Access for several months and priced $20, but the plan is...

I was just thinking about all the Early Access MMO's out there these days, and how much I hate it. I don't know what the numbers look like for full launch vs. early access, but I definitely prefer full launch. I can't even start to get excited playing an Early Access game, and I don't think I'm...

The few times I've read Villeneuve's comments, it gives me hope. I wasn't sure about Kynes being cast as a black female, but if she can pull it off, go for it. Kynes falls in that area of 'important, but not too important' for those kinds of changes. If it comes with an otherwise properly...

Probably not much of a surprise, but it can be officially crossed off of the list of games now. They have confirmed closure and complete staff layoff. Another hit against crowdfunded MMO's. Basically slow progress and ran out of crowdfunding dollars. There are a lot of pissed off people...

Firefox user here. I use Vivaldi if I need a Chrome-based browser for some reason, but it's rare. Addons: uBlock Origin Firefox Multi-Account Containers - I LOVE this one, and it will keep me chained to Firefox by itself. Takes a bit of initial config, but worth it many times over. HTTPS...

Decided to check back in, and read the December newsletter. They actually provided a rundown of where they're at. I appreciate that. The was one additional tidbit that caught my eye. I'm not sure how builds are incremented in their environment, but doesn't that seem like a fluffed kind of...

Yuck. So it's guaranteed to be reduced to nothing but combat abilities. It'll be another console-friendly lobby game, with shallow campaigns that likely release along with M:TG expansions. Slap in a lot of grinding and a PTW cash shop, and there you have it. This IP has so much potential...

Fuck me, this is sad and hits me hard. I never even met the guy but I loved EQ beyond measure, thought Vanguard was flawed yet charming, and was looking forward to Pantheon and whatever followed. :( I hope The Vision™ lives on. RIP Brad 'Aradune' McQuaid

For some reason it works now. Some combination of UI settings, compatibility options, and relaunching a few times. /shrug... Guess it IS a pretty classic experience battling the UI!

Unfortunately my desktop resolution is 4k, and windowed mode (even maxed) makes it difficult. Was hoping to play fullscreen, and Alt+Tab in/out of the program as needed.

Anyone know a good way to Alt+Tab without completely messing up the interface? I have multiple monitors and clicked outside of the game window, and now the mouse will not work in-game unless I close and relaunch. Alt+Enter makes it full screen, but clicking anywhere just minimizes the game. I...

Their first 'Video Newsletter' came out. A little cringe inducing with how they talk, but they revealed supposed racial traits.

Can't wait for loose NPC's again!

I'd also chime in behind Freesync/Gsync compatibility. I prioritize IPS and low gtg response as well. I despise TN panels because of the color shifting and will never own another. If you haven't considered going ultrawide or adding future monitors (slim bezels!), it may be something to think...

I bet it'll be another year or two, but these guys are seriously dedicated. There is already a Skyblivion, with Morrowind recreated in Oblivion's engine. Check out their page for the latest version. Skywind will eventually release, but who knows when. Sorry man, this made me feel old...

Sorry about the necro, but I guess these passion projects really do take some time. A trailer came out for Skywind last month, and hit my nostalgia hard. Then one came out just a few days ago for Skyblivion. Looks like Skyblivion is closer to being 'finished', but I figured this is a good...

I realize not much discussion on Neverwinter, but I saw this on the wife's computer so I updated it since she plays on rare occasion. Looking over the news, I see they finally did a level increase (to 80) along with overhauling many systems. How is it these days? Anyone still playing?

A pretty good overview of the Valve Index. Looks great, but the $1,000 price tag is going to be a big limiter for a lot of people - especially since you need a beefy video card too. I wish the FOV and resolution were slightly higher, but as long as the reviews are good and there are no major...

Hi Holly, Thank you for all your work on the EQ franchise. I truly appreciate it, and so do many others. I’m sure you’re limited in responses. I do however, have a few questions/concerns I would love to voice. 1. Do you have data that indicates the largest obstacles for returning players...

I don't know man. I have a really narrow taste in games and even if it's bad, I'll still play it because I need to know just how bad. It's probably not healthy.

Honestly, I think if the game even has the possibility of being worth a shit, we'll find out when they reveal Project Faer'Thel (or whatever). For now, I'm still in the middle. Being able to see one zone "complete" with all systems in place will tell me all I want to know. But what I find...
