    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I assume that the artifacts are their way of doing AA while still being able to reset each expansion, so you level up your sword rather than your character and then next expac it's either free unlocks or new weapons or whatever. They could even remove weapon stats entirely and just let...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'd ignore that poll. It was on 18% Dominion PvE about 5 minutes ago, it's now on 22% and getting about 10 votes a second, whereas the rest are getting 1 every few seconds.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    With squish being the only major overhaul (no class, levels giving gooder to old abilities rather than new ones, same talent system) maybe they're banking on a much shorter beta than they've had before. Or they are just Blizzard being Blizzard.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It makes sense really. 4 months after launch the install base isn't big enough that they lose vast amounts not having it on the PS4, and MS win because people on the fence might buy a Xbone for it ahead of a PS4. 18 months from now when the install bases are much bigger it would be a...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    If you have friends getting either system, get that one. Other than that it comes down to exclusives and Kinect. Kinect gets a lot of abuse, but it's still fun at parties and stuff in the same way the Wii was.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I meant more for future games. Hopefully it's just teething problems, but the amount of extra detail and processing the PS4 is doing is massive. If you tried to run the Xbox One version with the same settings it would be a slide show, based on the relative performance. For what I think they...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Which version looks better isn't actually all that relevant, the PS4 is showing over 50% more pixels, using better effects and maintains a better frame rate. The difference is massive.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Dynamic resolution isn't a new thing. A number of older games use it, WipeoutHD and Rage for example. Microsoft are just spinning it like it's a fancy new thing. I don't know the ins and outs, but someone can probably explain why G-Sync is an entirety different beast. Short answer, though, is...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I picked it up on the basis that pads are going to cost ?55 and I'd be buying an extra anyway. I'm sure I'll get enough out of killzone and the camera to justify the 25 quid extra.

    Have they still not announced US launch bundles? Euros have Killzone, camera and extra pad bundle for the same price as the Xbone. Although that Xbone comes with FIFA or Forza in Europe.

    I hope the Steam box does incredibly well. I hope it does so well that it causes the end of the whole 'console war' nonsense and we end up with one system with several different developers which allows you to play every game, with all the lovely community mods, and I can play Gears of War and...

    So the consensus seems to be go for it but be careful about getting overly invested, keep an eye out for any kinds of crazy and be prepared to bail. The most likely outcome is that it all goes wrong, but then dating girl my own age the most likely outcome is it all goes wrong anyway (or she is...

    Haha fair point. She lives independently I meant, rather than financially independent. She rents out her spare rooms to pay the mortgage. She did have money but it all went on the house. Still fair point. I'm probably trying to talk myself into it because I want to put my p in her v. I'm bad...

    I'm almost 30 now and I've reached the age where I'm really willing to get into anything unless I'm sure there's at least a decent chance of it going somewhere. Wouldn't say I'm in a rush, just that I'm aware that I can't fuck around being with completely unsuitable women for more than a few...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Nothing to do with pets, but if you're playing on Test it's worth remembering you can /resetaa once a week, meaning if you find a sweet spot it can be worth filling out on crap AA you have no intention of keeping just because you can reset later and spend them on useful stuff at a higher level...

    Acc1 - Necro (65, 17AA), Shaman (81, 850AA) Acc2 - Bard (80, 1300AA) Acc3 - Necro (72, 180AA), Mage (70, 500AA), SK (80, 900AA) So I looked at my accounts from the last time I got sucked back in. The bard I generally just AFK with melody and occasionally pull with. Not that fussed about...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    God damn this thread. I guess it's time for my annual EQ bing. It's actually been about 12 months so I'm due. God knows what characters I have still. Does RAF work on test? My accounts still have RAF legacy on them. Test is exp bonus anyway I know, but seeing as I'll probably quit again in 2...

    I think you get a bit of that on free sites, people who just want to chat and probably have no intention of meeting up. It's part of the reason I don't give out my number until I'm asking them out. Occasionally they'll just not reply, but better that than have to keep it up in texts for a week...

    Rather than ask normal questions, I ask 'Would you rather...' questions. Being English, the opener is always 'Rather go without cheese or without tea', but it's easy to think of a few more. Basically everyone starts playing back, which means you're not doing the pointless 'What do you do...blah...

    $2,000 and some Xboxs for a couple of grainy tit shots and some phone sex looks pretty good comparatively.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Going from 720p to 1080p isn't as big a deal as better quality textures and (hopefully) higher, more consistent frame rates and less screen tearing. I, like most people, don't have a living room set up that lets me really appreciate the difference between 720p and 1080p (Fuck everyone with...

    Coheed and Cambria - The Afterman: Descension

    I listened to it again a couple of times today and it's growing on me. I'll probably listen to it a couple more times over the weekend before I make up my mind.

    I prefer when a band makes a song their own rather than just karaoke's it. It's probably why I didn't hate eMotive.

    Coheed and Cambria - The Afterman: Descension

    So it's just me that can't get into this album or Year of the Black Rainbow? It could be that I never cared about the story, and while it's all technically very good it just feels less epic. Parts of the first 3 albums especially really swept me up at times to the point where I wouldn't...
