    Actually just checked it out and there"s almost nothing around here unless people just don"t RSVP? Maybe skiing will be better...

    Yea, unfortunately the hobbies I have tend to be pretty uninteresting to other people or don"t involve actually meeting other people. I play the guitar, fly airplanes, ski, golf, hiking, running and enjoy various other things that I don"t get to do as often as I"d like such as horseback riding...

    Yep, pretty much... I"m really bad at the whole women thing, I don"t meet many women which compounds the problem. All of my female friends hang out with guys mostly and the few that do have a large group of female friends have them from college/hometown type settings so they"re typically far...

    OK FoH, I need some advice. TL;DR background is met this girl last October through a friend. First date went really well, second one not so much. We were originally going to go hiking, but she was exhausted and wanted to just go see a movie. So we did, was kinda awkward, went to lunch afterwards...

    Not out of the running? The race ended 8 months ago you just don"t know it.

    It"s too late for Eomer, he has to subtly introduce a lisp over the next week and go with the you-turned-me-straight gambit and hope she takes the bait. Or "hey, I just met you 13 months ago and I know this is crazy but here"s a key to my apartment so call me maybe?"

    I think the JFK version of that saying is more accurate.

    I"m sorry bro, I wish she were definitely interested instead of being defiantly interested.

    Da Fuq? 5 months of dating and going on vacations and being a couple after that is a shock?

    No no no, now he will confess how he really did have feelings for her and how he curses his decision. Then the other girl will turn out to have some disastrous character flaw and he"ll spend months trying to win the FWB back.

    I"m not retarded about it, but I"m not a player at all. Dating has just been on the backburner for awhile so I"ve only been out on 3 dates in the past 6 months or so due to new career/moving/time/etc.

    It is tempting to attempt this for science. But my classes also start this week and I get to take two political science electives this semester, so unlike my grad level programming classes there"s a chance I"ll see a female or two in one of those. Maybe I should do due diligence for my...

    I need sage advice, FOH, I"m considering something exceptionally stupid. I started a new job in November along with this chick. I"ve always had a long standing rule against workplace dating, just because I didn"t want to deal with it... but maybe that"s simply because I didn"t meet anyone who I...

    I love this thread because I don"t even need to ask to be reminded why relationships and the work place are such a bad idea. Of course since I"m a workaholic that kind of leaves my options as... fuck.

    Get a part time job working retail. Gives you face to face time with every type of person under the sun and gives you an excuse to talk to everyone. Plus, extra cash and you can just drop it any time. High turnover on workers means always new situations too. Honestly I turned into an...

    Altering the course of in-game history by killing bosses is kinda difficult when everything respawns. I gave up on immersion in MMOs after the third or fourth genocide I committed in WoW before level 20 and I realized this was the future of the genre.

    Gear mismatch is fine for large scale pvp, not for arenas or smaller battles. Even playing crap geared alts back in the time of 3 day AVs was stillfunfor what it was, because you could use tactics and teamwork with friends to do a lot more damage than the lone GM/HW running around two-shotting a...

    Perhaps releasing in Asia first is a valid business model. As long as an MMO is mechanically sound enough to play, looks OK and provide people with unending amounts of things or exp to collect it seems to work fine at generating a profit. Take that time to develop content and release in EU/US a...

    The problem is most studios aren"t willing to put in the same effort/time/money as Blizzard. Hence if they want to beat or even compete with Blizzard, they"re going to have to produce somethingdifferentto produce market share instead of trying to steal all of it. The easiest way to do that is...

    Its honestly very aggravating as a player to see some MMOs like WAR come out so close to being fun and having a large player base, only to be killed because of a decision to end development a mere 2 months before it could have been ready to generate subs instead of bleed them out. Especially...

    High fantasy != fantasy. AC was unique fantasy done well. It had great story, lore and characters without feeling too alien. Not even counting WAR, LotRO, EQ(2) and others WoW is enough to have "done it to death".

    Honestly high fantasy has been done to death at this point. Unfortunately I see a lot of studios still going for it. I have to imagine that this is based in timid executives and even more timid investors who get sold the bullshit line about "just like WoW but BETTER" and a tech demo that was...

    I still maintain EQ2 went down to the murky depths on its own. I actually decided I was going to go with EQ2 as my main MMO at the time only to be completely blown away by WoW in comparison. The muddy quasi-realistic graphics that killed my computer on anything but the lowest settings had...

    WAR was very nearly there. They had very impressive numbers at launch, just no immediate retention. Weren"t they at 850k or something like that?

    None of those matter if a game never gets off the ground. The only games I can think of which didn"t succeed because of a complete lack of end-game are Earth and Beyond, Auto Assault and AC2. People quit AoC because Tortage was interesting, polished and had voice acting and every other zone...

    Because when I said they were fun, I meant they were well done and engineered flawlessly. I"ll have to go grab my dictionary to double check that I guess. Also, sorry but there"s no such thing as "Risk" in modern MMOs except perhaps in EVE. It"s all effort vs reward which is entirely a moot...

    I think you"re over generalizing. Vanguard was a complete failure, yes. Between client problems, polish issues and generally unfinished content it was never going to be anything. WAR, on the other hand, did not fail because they "missed the bar". WAR had a small number of crippling design...

    After raiding tonight I have to positively add this humble request, 38S: please don"t make spell graphics obnoxious in groups/raids. When having two warlocks makes a boss become a pillar of flame in which you can not distinguish anything from anyone, it becomes a hindrance and not "pretty."...

    I really liked TBC a lot more than WotLK from a class design perspective. Being a certain spec felt a lot more like a sub-class than a subtle variation from 8 other people in a raid. Add in dual specs + epics falling from the sky and everyone is everything now. Customization and unique roles...

    You have to have something other than just superior survivability, though. If you can keep the "squishy" pure dps alive, there"s really no point to bring the hybrid which only trades more survivability for less dps, especially in guilds which have standards instead of friends. Now if that...
