Yes. Paladins do not partner very well with enchanters. Most high-end mobs are better off tanked by a charmed pet anyways since you can heal it more efficiently via memory blur or simply pitching the pet. Druids are alright for the leveling process, but rather weak later on. Their healing and...

I would go cleric with the enchanter. You can make an argument for a shaman being better than a non-BP cleric at 60, but the cleric will be a much better partner from 1-59. Additionally, cleric HP buffs and rezzes are significant in reducing the time spent grinding to 60. Shaman start to...

Done a lot of these on Morell Thule in my time. I wasn't ever able to find a solution for having NPCs with AOEs hit other NPCs with those AOEs. Also, any NPC made after POP was not properly functioning. Let me know if you have fixes to either of those problems. There are different Tunare...

Malo alone is worth more to a trio consisting of enc/cler/X than anything a druid can provide. Slow can be very difficult to land and the additional MR debuff for charm is very useful. It's one of the reasons enc/shaman is a superior duo than enc/cleric. Two people slowing is also incredibly...

Technically the 90s. Depending on the day, my favorite album.

The Sports Illustrated interview is pretty hilarious. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/col...d-hoax-quotes/

Tim Burke (the guy who blew the lid off this) is also a well known 'tripfag' on /sp/ If there's one thing that I'm sure of, it's that the internet is relentless with this stuff. I think he will continue to deny this as even more incriminating information piles up. However, Notre Dame's...

Notre Dame's official response claimed that Manti came to them about this on December 26th. Yet, Manti was still answering questions about his GF all the way until the BCS Championship. The guy who ran the Lennay and her sister accounts was a close friend of Teo's. So close that he was Teo's...

Won 3 of the 4 championships tonight. The 4th uses a 2 week playoff system which I prefer. Going in with a 30 point lead, but sat a ton of dudes who blew up on the bench. Thank you based Matt Ryan and CJ Spiller.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of them. Spiller has the edge on talent, but will probably get 5 less touches. He's going against a stronger run defense and they are more likely to stack the box against him. Moreno is playing against a softer defense, is going to get 5 more...

I'm not sure I understand the drawing argument. Yeah, it's probably quicker to get 100 doubles via drawing than from cards. However, cards are 1) way more entertaining, 2) you get other shit while playing cards, and 3) you can get good spells from cards much earlier. You can break the game...

I find people who hate FF8 are playing the game entirely wrong. You know all that stuff about Squall, Rinoa, and Seifer? Yeah, that's all a side quest. Edea? Side quest. Ultimecia? Ho ho, side quest. The real game is Triple Triad. All these side quests are there to unlock more people to play...

Sorry for all the pals who I recommended DX to. He shit the bed last week, as did every Charger. He went into the week with the prior 5 weeks being 19, 21, 7, 10, and 20. That's just the nature of the beast with WRs in Fantasy short of Calvin/Marshall. Anyhow, managed to make the championship...

Loved DayZ. I was tempted to buy this, but hacking is supposedly very rampant. Hacking in games with perma death is a deal breaker for me.

Came here to post this. Munchkin is awesome. It's fun and has some depth, but it's not a game where you're going to spend the majority of the time going over rules. I don't know how people do complicated board games with booze. The last time we tried Axis and Allies, people were too drunk to...

Rez is the most aesthetically pleasing game I've ever played. I've played Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines a bit. Never beat it, but /v/ seems to swear by it. Fuck yea, EVO! I never bothered to become human, but it's one of the highest offensive evolutions in the 5th world. IIRC, You can...

This is a thread for past games that flew under the radar that are still worth checking out today. PS1:LSD (Lovely Sweet Dream). The game was built as a dream simulator and consequently, is one of the craziest games ever made. It is a first person game where you interact with your...

I don't think I've ever encountered a hard RPG boss. There's been a few medium-challenge RPG bosses, but for the most part - you have to be autistic or not paying attention to lose in 90% of the RPGs I've played. The only 2 hard RPGs coming to mind are FF1 on the NES (ONLY IF YOU PICKED AN...

I've really been out of the music loop this year in comparison to other years. Anyhow, I still venture outside my cave a few times: Purity Ring - Shrines. Cocaine in an album. I'm sure there's better albums this year from a talent/art/critic perspective. The songs all sound very similar and...

I was at the 25 year Anniversary of FF concert in Chicago last week. Was pretty awesome how they did the Opera scene. There were 3 opera singers (Maria, Draco, and Prince Ralse), a narrator, the orchestra (of course), and a giant screen that showed a playthrough of the Opera Scene in FF6. My...

http://squallsdead.com/ I think it's a way for people to justify liking FF8 (which, admittedly, has good game play) in spite of the tween story with a hundred plot holes.

Why the fuck do people even care about RMT? I understand that it's against the rules - I just don't understand all the butthurt over this. SOE isn't going to shut down the project over RMT. You can straight up purchase gear from a vendor for USDs on other EQEMu servers. Who the fuck cares if...

FF7 would have been Tactics level of good if the story stayed focused on Midgar/Shinra. I personally felt that the Shinra Company was a much better villain than Sephiroth. Throughout the entire game, the party sees Shinra fucking over every town in the world, but we remember the guy who killed...

Bioshock. Most of my hate stems from the fact that it's a legitimate contender for people's "the best game ever made." I really enjoyed the game's environment and aesthetics, but I just never saw what the hype was about. I thought the game was a significant decline to System Shock 2 which I...

SD3 is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite RPG on the SNES (#1 being Lufia2). SD3 is a really flawed, but it is shit loads of fun and the re-playability is high. I'm a sucker for customization. However, the combat system is broke, Job changes happen wayy too late, and they all but removed the random...

If AP goes on to break the record, he deserves it. However, they're not going to give an MVP to a player on a team didn't make the playoffs. Brady will probably win it though.

The only receiver outdoing DX the past 4 weeks is Calvin. I don't know how the hell he is still on waivers, but pick him up and play him. He's a 6'5 monster thats looked better than VJAX ever did with the Chargers. I would probably go Josh Gordon and either Stevie or Britt. Britt's done well...

Server is dead. People will say it's because of resists, GM favoritism, RMT, etc, but that's not really the issue. Emulated PvP servers are really fun until there is an obvious winner of the server, and then they die out. This happens on pretty much every new PvP game and EQ in particular is...

Looks like McFadden is hurt again.

Magicka and Trine are really good co-op games.

Can confirm FTL is awesome.
