There's a difference between wanting a person knowledgeable on the subject and folks that have already formed an opinion on a part of the submissions. A cook or food critic can judge a competition, but would avoid judging someone that they have already raved about elsewhere, in general. The...

The difference is, they wouldn't normally hire a reviewer to judge a competition. It's like a jury, you want them to come in on an even playing field and learn about the stuff through the competition. Of course, the Ennies are not a, er... "real" competition. It's a community niche award that...

What was suggested was (IMO) to simply alter the posted dates for last year, so that all material now showed the date as eligible where it didn't before. That is dishonest and a cover up. It was not implemented, so it's nothing huge in regards to the Ennies, but that's what it looks like to me.

I think some of the "evidence" directly counters comments made here though. It's a clique thing. Everyone that "knows" the folks on either side says they're great, honest folks that would never tell a lie. Even when they say stuff that's counter to the others views. IMO, ENWorld and the...

The biological "you only use 10% of your brain" is an error, but I think he meant "we only use 10% of the potential of what our brain could do", which is just arbitrary and there's no way to substantiate or quantify.

Patch 3 is the pre-wrath patch, basically just revising talent trees and spells, nothing earth shatteringly different. They're adding barbers (so you can change hairstyle) and a few other things, but it's mostly just mechanical tweaks. Hunters pets are changing a lot, but still not something...

The plainsfolk didn't travel a lot, but they really never said that was because it was unsafe to travel. The book covered the Companions discovering the world, rather than the world. In many ways it was a bit silly, since many of the companions DID go out and explore greatly alone, and still...

So, no way to turn the feature off?

I didn't care for the game in concept anyway, and the star destroyer scene just irked me... then I saw how it played on G4 and nearly died laughing. I can't imagine how they thought that would be amusing.

I looked through KotOR in the store, had some ships & gear, some force powers IIRC. I think a bit too much space may have been dedicated to the NPC's from comics and both games, but it was interesting to read some of the KotOR 2 stuff that never became apparent in the actual game. :) Force...

I've choked on a wraith corpse before. It's 0 food, but the check to see if you choke is before it actually adds the food value... Happened played in forever, but the one I recall best (not mine) was a guy with autopickup on for weapons (usually an archer or slinger type), and started the game...

There's a difference between "we're changing this class slightly" or even "all classes somewhat" and "we're almost ready to add PvP now!".

I think you're wrong here, because I don't think it WAS focused on the domain lords, in general. There were quite a few domains where the Lord wasn't Lord in an obvious way. The interaction with the players varied a lot also. I think this and #1 both come from a perception perpetuated by the...

The Solamnia trilogy starts with a Solamnia unlike anything in Krynn published to that point. It then follows a threat that is also antithetical to the way Krynn worked at that point. It then introduces Gun Powder, through a long, drawn out and goofy setup, and I just can't see gun powder being...

My problem is not the War of Souls, which I think set Krynn up to be a fun, playable setting. It's the books that followed. The Solamnia trilogy looks like it was set somewhere else and they just changed the names to make it Dragonlance. The other books also just kept rewriting basic krynn...

Terms underlining For some reason, in the past week, whenever I'm reading a thread I get some terms underlined with dots. 4e, FR, and some others. I'm not sure why, or where this setting might be? I'm on Firefox 3, but it doesn't happen anywhere else. Any help would be appreciated.

At various points in it's publication, Dragonlance would make a great PoL setting. The problem is, DL isn't like FR, where the realms get shattered but you can still recognize things. DL just massively chances it's entire feel/focus 5-6 times. They consolidated Age of Mortals into a coherent...

The problem I have with new MMO's (and it was probably that way back when WoW and such came up, but I wasn't playing then), is that a lot of features just aren't implemented. I liked Tabula Rasa, but there was a list of stuff that wasn't ready. AoC also has a "it's coming soon!" list. It's not...

Easter eggs are fun and such, though in WoW it's hard because of the length of time. Few corners are unexplored. That's not what I was refering to, or heard of. What I've heard of is a "type" of quest that is area based. You enter a town, it's under siege, you get a message "kill 100 orcs", and...
