I checked "bought core but naught else" option, but I only bought the PHB, no MM nor DMG. Nothing so far has really interested me, and I find the prospect of paying for white space to be unappealing.

See, that's sort of what I wonder, how a timeline of things goes. It seems that they were confident that they could claim the rights to it based on actions in 91, and just figured the 94 agreement didn't matter. So, did production start and Fox said "you know we distribute that" and they...

Mainly it's been a "lag will KILL you" issue. Even now if a lag spike hits in WoW, I can miss an interupt or something and end up getting screwed. If your shots are based off of hitting a particular position in real time, that lag issue gets worse. I mean, what's the current limit on FPS...

This was a leapyear, yeah.

When I used to have a solid TV lineup, it was fine, but remembering when different shows are on when you only watch a couple each week just leads me to forgetting them. TV is a vast wasteland for me now. Like I mentioned before, even if you figure 10 hours a week, 40 hours a month, for 15$...

Like in the other thread, I'd point out that a lot of games are like that really. Sure they generally have tighter plots, but a lot of times it's as easy to ignore as anything. Oblivion was a great game IMO, but could easily be described as a central quest chain of most MMO's. One of the most...

I'm sure plenty of people on this forum would consider others friends, even if they've never met in person.

That's gotta be one of the best "review snippets" in a long time. :)

I had high hopes for Tabula Rasa, and while it wasn't, er... "bad", it certainly didn't capture my interest enough to keep going. I figured I'd return once they "finished" it, but now it=dead. (Ends feb28th, free until then if anyone cares.) I also anticipated Guild Wars 2, but talk has sort of...

The problem I had with CoH was having a hero, and seeing I needed to reach uber levels in order to fly. I got Jump, then Slooooow Hover, then just stopped playing. MMO's are all pretty similar anyway, like a big dungeon crawl in D&D. Sure the NPC at the bar gave you a semblance of plot, and you...

I assumed your statement was simply hyperbole, so I didn't respond to it. To justify that it is true though, you're ignoring any situation where you simply pulled too much danger to yourself, or were too low level for something, or... I accidentally wandered into Felwood (level 45+ area, just...

Definetly not "roleplaying", as no CRPG is. I have had grinding D&D games that felt like WoW, but in general it's a different experience. I find WoW to be a nice time-waster in between other things. If a new video game won't be out for a month, WoW is there. If the D&D game is postponed for...

Not to take away from the situations you quote, but it's the same logic that says D&D causes suicide. If they weren't playing WoW, maybe they'd be alcoholics or gamblers. WoW is as huge a time sink as you let it be, definitely, but the generalizations of the WoW haters is amusing. I've had to...

For the "value" thing, I also never liked the idea of subscription based, but the main irk for me was that you paid upfront PLUS monthly. The simple answer is measuring your game enjoyment hours vs the amount you pay. Lots of games nowadays are 10 hour games, it's quite irksome to pay $60 for...

My D&D group is all either current or former WoW players, and we see how they added "WoWisms" to 4e. For the most part, we don't like 4e. (Though, I think it has as much to do with the chat-based format we've used for 10 years making dungeon crawls painfully boring, especially when 4e combats...

It's more about a common reference point. My brother is into various martial arts, has his son in tae kwon do. Most of our conversations involve me ignoring him telling me about this or his ex-wife's latest antics. By extension, you probably also do the same with some topic that takes up your...

It's been a known issue for a while, why didn't WB clear the issue up ahead of time? Development In Fox vs Warner Bros ‘Watchmen’ Case | Filmonic Their summary of the case certainly looks like something should have been cleaned up a long time ago.

Every 1st and 2nd edition campaign I have ever seen had buying, selling and trading of magic items. The difference with 3e on (and, really, we had plenty of non-combat magic items in 3e in my games), is that in previous editions you'd generally get an item that was good enough for you, no need...

Not the same, but the Futurama episode spoofing Starship Troopers had us going to their homeworld. "Wait, you mean we're the invading aliens?" It also featured "these balls are making me testy!" All in all, much better than a lot of movies. :)

Okay, so how do folks show this support then? "We will make new products if you buy products, but we don't have any to sell." If GR posted a thing saying "we'll be making a 3.5 Class Book, X pages for Y price, but only once we have 500 orders. Once we have such, it'll be out in 9 months."...
