    Silicon Valley

    This was the best show of the series. The humor is almost too dense - sometimes I think they should save some of this stuff to spread it out over a longer run. There's no way they can possibly keep the show this dense with amazing jokes for very long

    The ethics of stealing video games

    I haven't pirated games in like 15 years. Pretty much the same amount of time I've been earning money. The pc games industry needs all the help it can get. I genuinely feel that piracy can/does have a negative impact on the quality of games produced. On the other hand, I am pretty sure...

    Being an adult sucks

    It's interesting, because of a fairly common origin with old mmo's / Everquest, we are relatively 'elderly' when it comes to all things Internet and as a group contain a majority of people who are just old enough that they are net savvy - but not so old that they are not. It would be an...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Do they allow server transfers yet? I 'd play this game if I could get to Gilgamesh. I'd just want my gear I don need the mondy( hardly had any anyways)

    What's going on with thunderstrucks these days? I rage quit when the sapling sploit killed the market , after I had so many hoarded. Think I still have atleast 10 on me

    Ex Machina

    The only thing that annoys me is how is she keeping her battery charged after she left the house. That shit is like 10,20 hours max with all that movement

    The 'this guy fucks' followed by his 'thank you!' Was pretty amazing

    Home buying thread

    Anyone want a home in sf? Haha it's a great time to be a seller here. Sold a place last year at 40% gain and about to sell another at 35% gain, after owning both for only a year each

    What classes from all other MMOs would you bring back into a new Game?

    Was it Eq that had scouting mobs? Can't remember now but some mmo I played, you had a brief chance to engage/stop an enemy mob that was like a scout , if you failed at that the cavalry would be coming soon. In addition to fleeing mobs, mobs that gated was also a cool mechanic. Staying ahead of...

    Silicon Valley

    I think I've adjusted to the awkwardness of the protagonist and now it just works really well in this show, especially with the personalities he's surrounded by. This is up their with better call Saul for me for best shows on tv

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Personally I think a lot of the omissions/changes are plot elements that grrm decided weren't going anywhere or he changed his mind on, and the show made it easier to deal with since they could simply be omitted to start with.

    Vindictus

    The lag is better than it used to be but still bad at times - right now they have a some kind of latency issue every 60 mins which I hope gets fixed soon. Connecting to randoms is only laggy like ~20% of the time. I remember when I first played this game 5ish years back, the grouping was way...

    Vindictus

    So I searched, and found references to, but not a specific thread for this game. It's also now a quasi mmo as there are some fights now with up to 24 people and there are persistent city - hub areas. Anyways, I thought some people may be interested, it's a good time to try/come back to this...

    Raes / tuco drama is way more fun than this game is. It's become the new Eve for me

    the map system is what made me quit. It's hard enough to get drops and craft what you need, but it's the only game I know of where just being able to get to do the endgae map(ridiculously rare 70+) was a prayer

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    can you define the combat 'feel' thing better? I understand its important but what exactly are we referring to here? Some games punish you for mistiming an attack or dodge by getting you stuck in an animation that you can't get out of immediately. But I don't personally think that's necessarily...

    Bloodborne

    So just like demons souls and dark soups, I get caught in the hype and bought this game, and I can barely kill even the first few trash mobs. Anyone have tips for someone who's mostly used to mouse/keyboard (rarely console player) games?

    Singapore & Malaysia

    Crazy I'm also goin to Singapore/Malaysia end of march. Anyone done the night safari? Is marina sands worth visiting? Also going to Kuala Lumpur - any recommendations there? Heard not safe for tourists??

    Archeage

    Given how rampant gold farming is right now ( I see far more bots than I do actual players) I think removing a very substantial part of the problem is still sensible, even if entirely nullifying it is impossible (which is a given)

    Archeage

    I'd try this game again if they'd make a 'patron only' server with no 'free' or 'trial' play time, and without a cash shop and no shared auction house with other servers (and with all gamebreaking sploits already fixed). So sick of pay to win bs. I suppose people could still try to buy gold...

    Skydiving/Extreme Sports

    I'm so glad I did this once long ago so that whenever it comes up with friends I can say I've already done it so I don't get dragged into it. Everytime i look back on it all I can think of was the horror I felt standing in front of that door before getting pushed out a second before the...

    wtf that doesnt make any sense haha. they might as well just remove pvp. i get the feeling xl doesnt really know what direction they want to take this game

    Crowfall

    Obviously 1.3 mil is nowhere near to the kind of money they would need to make this mmo. Have they discussed their anticipated / forecasted budgetary needs to put out a finished product and where they are going to get the funding from? Just crowd funding for the long haul? I don't see them...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Am I reading that page right? 75mil+ purely from crowd funding? I mean doesn't that just blow every other crowd funded venture ever, out of the water? That's nuts they got enough money to make a AAA title (assuming non schilling / mcquaid management) purely from joe gamer. So there's not a...

    I need an emergency phone to put in an elevator. Anyone know a good cellphone with a one time prepaid plan option? (which doesn't expire or atleast has multi year before exp date)??

    Weather

    Tahoe recently Got 1-2 feet of snow so that's something. From my understanding however even if we get more precipitation its not enough, because the warmer temperatures means less of a snowpack come winter's end , which is the most important factor in the summer water supply

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    So are the 38 studio art assets for sale still ? I can't believe they haven't drastically dropped the price yet. Will they just end up leaving these pixels locked up forever or will it eventually become public domain ?

    the economics of suffering in boston

    This guy is either a manic with schizoaffective, possibly even full on schizophrenia, or a uniquely gifted troll. The paranoid delusions, perseverance of thought, flights of fancy, stream of consciousness speech, all are so textbook that if this guy is faking it, then he is coming from an...

    Our World - Built by the Rerolled community

    I thought I remember reading somewhere ut is an ex baseball player/ loaded with cash or something, so presumably this will be peanuts for him and ex sports players making mmos can only be good business. One thing I think would be cool is if the lore was not only intriguing but also intimately...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They really nailed the way content should work in a sub mmo. Granted I haven't played wow in 6 years but is the quality of their gaming experience so superior that it warrants a sub while producing a fraction of the content that ffxiv does?. If I wasn't too busy laughing to the bank or pumping...

    Revival - Lovecraftian Horror Roleplaying Sandbox MMORPG

    Also, the dm made content should have a permanence on the world. Over time this would be cool and result in unique server worlds. For example, a dm controlled npc Druid shows up at a cave and has a big fight with the Orc boss there, killing him and driving the orcs from the area. They flee to a...

    Revival - Lovecraftian Horror Roleplaying Sandbox MMORPG

    Man I've been bitching for the GMs hosting custom events thing for over a decade. Why has this virtually disappeared from the genre after early Everquest? Wow's prescripted aq type events and ffxiv evolving storyline are cool but those are just content patches/updates. Stuff like gm sanctioned...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    What a windfall for pantheon if these guys all get laid off. Smed working for.. Mcquaid? That would be amazing. I wonder if he could avoid the parking lot layoffs (do they even have a parking lot?)

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    How impossible would it be to create an mmo that sort of shares the same virtual game space as Eq ? Like much improved graphics but letting you enter and interact with eq1 servers and their players in certain non combat zones, and then having access to original Eq zones with a modified version...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO
