When I was a kid, I loved to go to the arcades. The sounds, the lights, the games, the secret high score fights with random players you never met, arcades are amazing. Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted one. So lets skip a couple decades and bring the timeline to three months ago. I saw...

That's a very important point. Most games take it directly over the top. You need food and drink to constantly regen. You need your buff foods and potions. For your gear, you need to carry a variety of situationally specific sets. You need your hp and resource potions. You need your...

I can only hope that they continue on the trend of item persistence. In most MMOs, items are thoroughly treated as data. If you pick up an item, it magically disappears into your 100+ slot inventory and it stays there as an icon in your bag. The idea that you can have a horse, a car, a dozen...

I would be shocked if the turrets on it stayed the same size. I can understand the lack of pylons. It is supposed to be a specialized exploration vessel after all. Those turrets though were sized a long time ago. So I can see them growing in size just by updating the stats. The bottom line...

From the moment I pledged, I knew I wanted a Carrack. I picked one up a while ago and can't wait to take her out for a spin. I purchased most of my ships for a specific role. The Carrack though, will likely be my general purpose group ship of choice. It should have excellent range, good...

It's my impression that what the avocados are playing right now isn't the actual 3.0. Rather, this is merely a portion of what they are planning in 3.0. If i remember correctly, they scaled down what they were initially releasing to the test group and will continue to piece it out to them...

This is a grey area for me. I am fully against anything that prevents gun ownership. However, I have to concede this point to you. I grew up around guns. I hunted. I went to the range with my dad on a regular basis. I was trained to use them safely. I even carried them professionally for...

Tragedies like this are always so big and loud in the media. When they involve guns, they are immediately followed by people calling for more gun control. That's because it is far easier to blame the guns, than the person. The fully automatic weapons used in Las Vegas were illegal. Making...

I hate to say it, but my one pick under $150 is the mustang. Is it the best pick under $150? Nope. I believe in the Mustang though. I also absolutely love flying mine. In racing, I love my Gamma. In the PU, I love my Delta. They're not the best. In fact, they kinda suck when compared to...

That's some solid advice. Save $50-$75 by clicking one button? I'm in. Thanks for pointing it out. Objects, virtual or not, are priced according to both their cost to create and how much people are willing to pay. It is a common thing for people to get tripped up in their logic regarding...

Funny you should bring up CoD. It's my favorite analogy when faced with this argument. Here's my take on the whole "vaporware" claim. There are two parts to it. The first is that, as others have said, most of what CIG is doing has never been done before. It's genre has never existed. There...

I'm not sure what's so special about this guy. First, that's just greedy. He tried to carry too many (far more than he could drink himself) and spilled a bunch. It's not like he was carrying them to his buddies either. He just sat them down and walked away... rude... That's tap beer. You...

Done. I've been hurting for a new mmo lately. There's not much out there right now. I've even resorted to jumping back in The Division. Man, was that a perfect example of wasted potential. I hope Destiny 2 doesn't do the same. I hope they come out swinging. There are a lot of "homeless"...

How long do you think before someone makes a facemask that tricks the camera into making their character do the troll face everywhere they go...

Texas and Alaska are very similar in that regard. When a disasters or emergencies hit, nobody is unarmed. We have family down there and they carry religiously, especially in an emergency. That's because emergencies bring out the best AND the worst in people. At best, they can be generous and...

The large news outlets are extremely polarized by design. They share news as their source of income, not as a way to keep people informed. The more exciting and controversial they can make it, the more profit they get. So when a news company like MSN gets around to reporting something, it's...

I'm the same way. I picked up a Rift the second they became available. It was something I dreamed about since I was a kid. When it finally arrived, it was everything I ever wanted. Well, at least for the first entry into VR. It works and it's amazing. The problem is, I'm not a kid any...

As loathed as I am to quote the man (I am allergic to apple products), Steve Jobs was still pretty smart and had some intelligent things to say from time to time. For instance: "Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear...

You can have your opinions. I can have my opinions. We could love it, hate it, or feel mostly apathetic about it. We can shout our thoughts as loud as we want but it won't hold a candle to what you pointed out. The only voice that really matters is money. Lets be honest, the only way that...

This is exactly my sentiment. To be honest, I was upset when I saw the foip, but pissed when they said they have been working on it for the last year. This was not a stretch goal. This was not anything we backed. We did not ask for this. Like I said in another thread, it's cool. It's...
