From what I recall 1) Curt started the company in Massachusetts 2) Rhode Island dangled some state money in front of Curt to get him to relocate 3) Curt relocates to RI and staff has to move down there. Some employees get less than optimal housing changes as a result 4) Single player RPG comes...

The actual book is out of print I think, but there is an audiobook where Robinson is reading the book in the character of Garak that is available I believe. I read it many years ago - from what I recall, the book is basically Garak writing a letter/communication to Bashir post-DS9 finale that...

His administration is basically Idiocracy IRL, so that makes for an easy target for satire

It’s a moderation nightmare, but they should bring back City of Heroes player made dungeons as a concept for MMOs.

They sort of address that with new PVE in this patch - besides dungeons, there are a couple new "outdoor" areas you visit. You can't fly there, but you can bring a sandbike. They've mentioned that in the next big patch, they plan to address PVP and part of that will be creating no fly zones so...

That does help, plus you get bonus damage and damage mitigation passively the more you level that tree up. I've been trying to split between that and crafting because the augments add a lot of perks to your gear as well.

And Druckman has 0 involvement with BG3. Mazin, the other half of the showrunner combo for the TLOU show, was responsible for the Chernobyl mini-series (which was excellent). Basically whether this BG3 show will be any good will probably come down to how much WOTC fucks around with the...

They aren't a major faction in New Vegas, but they're a threat to every faction in the US. House would want them eliminated if only because they pose a threat to House.

I skimmed through the episode. The show is painful to watch because it's clearly aimed at younger people. Cirroc Lofton reprises his role as Jake (well, a holographic recreation of him anyways). Some half Cardassian half trill professor played by Tawny Newsome at the academy reveals she is...

WOTC owns the IP, so that is probably why Larian has no input on the show. As for Last of Us, they adapted a game which had that shit to begin with.

The boss fights in the new dungeons are a bit more traditional in terms of MMO-style boss fights. They have phases and mechanic and some will summon adds. The lightning boss guy kinda pisses me off, though. You can learn the rotating electricity patterns, but trying to reload or healing slows...

My predictions: 1) Enclave releases FEV in the vaults. Good chunk of the residents mutate, some escape. Enclave shows up and Norm, Stephanie, and maybe some others get taken to Colorado (Claudia, Chet, etc). Norm and Stephanie act as our POV at Enclave 2) House proposes a mutual deal with...

3mil it seems. Meh, I don’t play enough to make that worth it

Predator meets Metal Gear

They need to reveal the player wealth requirements and if they plan to address blueprints at all before i’d consider it

The last MMOs where I played mostly because of my guild was New World and Dune if you want to count that - both had core mechanics that required a coordinated group to do effectively. But that is also a double edged sword because if people stop playing, you’re bored because there isn’t a whole...

Did you forget Cassidy was pregnant with his kid? He does. I forget how long, but it’s like a decade tops later. I never read that particular novel, but I think it was referenced in a later novel I read. It’s been forever since I read them and I don’t recall much. Only plot points I...

You joke, but Avery Brooks was reportedly angry about how they ended Sisko’s story because he felt like it was inadvertently playing into negative stereotypes by effectively making him an absent father and is supposedly one of the reasons he never reprised the role

Early MMOs were basically proto-VR chat where you can fight orcs and dragons. That was a big part of their appeal. Then people realized hell is other people and wanted a more curated experience with endless content drip There is still a market for MMOs, but I do think they need to evolve...

The lansgrad revamp is good. The dungeons are a challenge in terms of the boss and melee is kinda fucked on bosses. Bosses don’t have shields so you mostly use guns to avoid aoe. Leveling specializations will take time, but there are some low hanging value picks you can get fast. Like...

So he never came back in 800 years? lul I'm slightly tempted to watch the episode to see how they decide to handle this

There isn't much of a risk of running out of lore/factions. I doubt we're going to get some 10+ season thing like Walking Dead. Besides, Bethesda isn't going to let them perma kill any given faction

Season 3' story is really going to hinge on if Purnell and Goggins are game for more than 3 seasons (their contract is only for 3). Season 3 is supposed to start filming soon. If one or both of them decide 3 is enough, then they'll need to completely wrap up Coop and Lucy's story by the end of...

Presumably Steph was told by Hank what phase 2 was and how it would shake down. Although unless there is an escape hatch in the overseer office, not sure what her plan is to actually escape or survive (since presumably phase 2 involves FEV) Season 2 was a continuation of season 1: Ghoul...

It was pretty clear they weren't going to wrap up the storylines this season and were going to finish them in S3. But ya, kind of a blueball way to end things lol Thoughts on some things

That’s what more or less killed JFK Jr and his wife decades ago - if I recall he wasn’t properly instrument rated and they tried flying at night/foggy conditions and ended up in the ocean

I watched an early access stream on Twitch about a month back or so - very Left4Dead like

Rapier changes take a lot of getting used to. You counter intuitively have to do a light attack timed just right to parry and r click and L click both do attacks but are different because they involve forward and backward motions

Beta WoW and early vanilla leaned more heavily into CC in group encounters. In beta, warlock banish worked on any NPC and cost a soul shard to cast. I remember using banish and fear juggling and succubus seduce to CC like 4 things at once in dungeons on my warlock

The carry trial is fucking dumb. I don’t even think the boxes respawn and they’re spread all over the map. Highest score I ever got on one was 2 handins on Dam

Slight fix there lol

Summed up: Good writing prioritizes story first and seamlessly weaves a moral or message into the story if needed Bad writing prioritizes a moral or message first and sloppily constructs a story around that Supergirl on CW was a prime example of the 2nd point during its later seasons - the...

More normies played FO3 and FO4 than FONV in the scheme of things

Rallos Zek was fine because it was a single server that offered PVP to people who wanted to engage with that type of content. PVP specific servers are a great idea The problem isn't that, it is some devs trying to make mandatory PVP with no opt-out their entire game

They're good in close quarters PVP, but they suck for most PVE situations vs. a regular anvil

PVP focused MMOs are basically the devs hoping players will make content. That's it. Just look at Dune. Sort of a MMO-lite, but they hoped players would PVP a bunch and it would take pressure off the devs to produce more PVE content

That car video has to be bait

MMOs aren't dead. Plenty coming out of China/Korea still and there are a lot of MMO-lite/hybrid type games like Where Winds Meet This always boils down to the eternal "what is a MMO?" question and you have people say only games like Everquest or WoW are MMOs, yet if you're objective, the...

I mean even Interplay fudged with the canon even back in Fallout 2. Ultimately they are games and games more often than not are going to "retcon" or tweak lore in order to fit the game mechanics and experience. Like in Fallout 1 fusion cores lasted more or less forever (in game I think they...
