    Lord of the Rings Online

    I got back into LOTRO early last year after a 15+ year hiatus. The last time I had played, only the base game was out and my max character was around level 30. I enjoyed it for a couple of months or so as I progressed through all of the old content. The breadcrumb trails were pretty good to get...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    It's pretty good so far. The biggest gripe is probably the episodes being really short, comparatively speaking. They're just over 30 mins long each. That and 60 year old man-meat.

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    There's a recent interview with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on Joe Rogan discussing how the streaming service companies have totally changed the way films are even made nowadays. It's both fascinating and frustrating at the same time b/c they're literally fucking with the basic premise of the...

    Ashes of Creation

    I still can't tell through all of that if this was in fact a scam or just sheer incompetence. With so many ties at the top to previous MLM companies, a scam seems plausible although not exactly the wisest venture to build it around unless you knew you were guaranteed WoW-like levels of...

    The Quinfall

    I saw this on the wire. I remember the rumor about this game was that it was nothing more than a scam. Is anyone playing it? https://massivelyop.com/2026/02/03/mmorpg-the-quinfall-will-launch-friday-with-a-full-wipe-and-cash-shop-currency-refunds/

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Fucking hell. Trying to finish up the last few levels of a brand new BElf toon and it's impossible. To say Dreamscythe is a mega server would be a massive understatement. TBC is going to be an absolute and complete shitshow outside of dungeons and raids.

    What would you like to see remade?

    I'll go super old school with the remakes I'd love to see: The original Wizardry, Ultima 3 and Ultima 4.

    The Pitt

    This show is really good at making me want to go hug my wife and kids. I get the feeling that chaos and disaster are probably right around the corner.

    The Pitt

    Episode 2 - could the new attending be any more unlikeable? Just waiting for Robby to tell her to fuck off. And after the birthing scene in season 1, I guess it's only fitting we got...that...in season 2. lol Speaking of things I could've done without seeing...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Blizzard scheduled a 24 hour long maintenance for TBC pre-patch on the Anniversary servers, and had to extend it another 3 hours on top of that, and counting. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

    The Pitt

    I saw this video yesterday myself and was actually going to post it here as well. Very good watch. The part about the Pittfest mass casualty event being based off of the Las Vegas mass casualty shooting a few years back was very interesting. That and how the show's use of slap-bands is now...

    The Pitt

    First episode of season 2 dropped tonight. Mohan still hot. New attending acting like a bull in a china shop. And Whitaker’s got some swagger now.

    Health Problems

    Eh, I get that I'm just some rando on the Internet but I've seen this same story way too many times and feel compelled to try to help my fellow mankind. People see these GLP1 drugs as a magic pill that does all the work for them. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way.

    Health Problems

    Here’s the thing though. Losing the weight is the key to lowering your diabetes, not the other way around. Having said that, if you do that part the wrong way, you can really, really fuck yourself up. It’s great that your desire for shitty foods has changed. I guess I’d just like to see you...

    Health Problems

    I've read the last few posts of yours and I would caution you - you're on a very slippery path right now unless you start to incorporate lifestyle changes like daily exercise and better, cleaner eating habits. If you don't and just continue with the status quo, you are primed to not only put all...

    Death of Robin Hood

    Trailer looks pretty good. I'd give it a watch.

    Ashes of Creation

    Reading all of the doom and gloom on this game makes me think Steven Sharif is the second coming of Curt Schilling. Super passionate people about MMO gaming but just can't get out of their own way on how to create and develop one to launch even remotely successfully. Shilling was just outright...

    Ashes of Creation

    Part of the problem is that today's MMO player is far more knowledgeable and experienced in consuming content exponentially faster than what devs can put out there. I don't envy those devs one bit because it feels like it will always be a losing battle. Even if some company was extraordinary...

    Disappointing to read the bad reviews. I had such high hopes for this one.

    The Pitt

    Wife and I started our rewatch of season 1 a few nights ago. Even though I know what to expect, some of those "tougher" moments still punch pretty GD hard. Not sure what's more brilliant about this show - the writing or the acting. Hell, some of the patients are so good, you think they're...

    LOL. This thread degraded into a pile of shit bigger than the actual game itself. And that's saying something.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I’m also one of those who occasionally checks in on this game’s development progress. Every time I do and catch up on all the latest buzz about it, I always come to same conclusion - I just don’t want to play EQ anymore. As much as I loved the grindy, XP and rare camping gameplay from twenty or...

    Ashes of Creation

    I've only been keeping tabs on this one from afar due to where it was in development. I understand PvP was always planned to be a big part of the game but I always assumed it would still be a PvE-centric game at it's primary core. Based on what I'm reading now, am I correct in understanding...

    The Thing (1982)

    More times than not, people "demand" sequels only to be disappointed. It's like they need to be protected from themselves. Just say no to the sequel here, John. It will likely be garbage and will tarnish what is an otherwise legendary movie. Even more than it already has been (see 2011).

    Ultima brings back so many memories. I started with 2 and loved it. Then finished 3 before going back to play the first one where the villain was Minax. Ultima 4 was awesome for me and my friends. The four of us were pretty much locked in my room for almost two weeks playing it non stop. I...

    Elden Ring

    For the actors? Of course. But you aren't behind the scenes watching the director give that instruction, direction, and inspiration to those actors so please explain how you the viewer are seeing the effect of all that? Or how you the viewer are able to discern where great directing ends and...

    Elden Ring

    Um, no. Not once, ever, have I ever said "Gee, the directing here really sucks". Fucking no one does. But there are tons of examples of dialogue that is absolutely and utterly cringeworthy, or shows where you wonder wtf they were thinking casting x actor for y role. Neither is anything a...

    Elden Ring

    I mean, you're definitely not wrong. But as much as people might fantasize about her responding to that potential scene with "Awesome! I've always wanted to go completely nude in front of the camera", it's quickly replaced with the much more likely response of "and that's where the CGI comes in...

    Elden Ring

    It's also too bad they can't make a stipulation that in order to be cast in the movie, you had to have played the game previously. Cavill of course being a prime example.

    Elden Ring

    So many focus on who is directing in these video game adaptations but IMO, it's way more about the writing and the casting as to whether or not it's worth a shit. That very well may be true for all movies but specific to these types, they get them both completely wrong the vast majority of the...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The population on Dreamscythe (PvE) has been massive since release but I never really paid much attention to what that means from a raiding guild perspective. That is until this past week with the release of phase 5. The semi-HC guild I'm in had most of it cleared by Wednesday and Cthun down...

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    So I downloaded it and tried logging in with an old account that didn't work. I guess it was blitzed long ago which is fine. The problem is it won't let me create a new account because no matter what email address I put in at the account creation page, it says it's already in use. Is the only...

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    The last time I played LOTRO was so long ago that I think the game was still relatively new at that time. I don’t really remember why I stopped but I have thought about trying it out again recently. My biggest concerns are how does it hold up to today’s standards in graphics and gameplay? And...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    That’s actually a more plausible explanation, not to mention one I can feel better about having still not beaten that fucker myself.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    So, let me get this straight...this chick...is fighting Radahn on two different systems...at the same time....using a controller for one and a dance pad for the other?
