    Mechwarrior Title announced and Mechwarrior IV for free!

    As an old battletech fan, this was like a godsend for me. To be clear, Jordan Weisman IS battletech. Reading the interview, you could tell that both of them had a solid grasp on what made battletech great, and I think they have a good vision of how to make it right with modern technology. As...

    Which build is best for a solo-leveling Warrior in WoW?

    I leveled with a group as Prot, it was painful, but now Protection Warrior is a lot more fun, so if you like Sword & Board, I'd go that way. I think Arms would be the better leveling spec, less damage incoming than Fury, maybe. My warrior is currently dual as Arms & Prot, both are fun IMO...

    Eberron novels - not selling or not enough?

    My local Borders doesn't have the new WoW book Arthas either, so who knows how they decide things.

    Green Ronin doing Dragon Age

    I've loosely followed the Dragon Age Crpg, but nothing in it thrills me. It feels like LotR meets D&D! :-p Reminded me a little of Oblivion too. Just a bit too generic. The p&p game might be a fun read, assuming it's a new system as opposed to true20, I may give it a try later on.

    Xbox 360 - I have one. What should I play?

    Yeah, I think ME was a great game, spent probably 100 hours, loved the characters. The main problem was that they had like, 4 building types and 4 ship types that you did 100 quests in. They had 4 models for 100 worlds to use... Also, the rover controlled like garbage. If you ever watch the...

    My name is "Defendant Radzikowski"

    I'm not sure if that's true. He said on page 1 that "I decided to buy electronic copies and borrow it inside the club the same goes with many e-magazines. Up to now i was sure that i know my players well. Anyway borrowing books for personal use between family, friends or other close ppl is legal...

    WTF Blizzard? A complaint about Dual Specs in patch 3.1

    A friend of mine that played Evercrack back in the day spent lots of cash on in-game items, then when he left the game he sold them. It's more the rate to me. $17 for 1k gold? harsh. An epic flying mount would be $85+ !

    WTF Blizzard? A complaint about Dual Specs in patch 3.1

    The currently spammed price is 1k gold for $17, I'm sure there's lower, but that's just silly. a day or three of real work can get 1k easy, and I can't see buying 1k. If you need 10k for something, that'd be a lot of money. The fact that they still refer to it as "gold farming" is the problem...

    WTF Blizzard? A complaint about Dual Specs in patch 3.1

    I've got a balance druid and wanted it for her to be able to go Resto or Feral if I wanted, and may pay the 1k for it. I also have a prot warrior, holy priest, affliction lock, but I can't see paying for them. The thing to keep in mind is that you can still respec for occasional fun switchs, it...

    WTF Blizzard? A complaint about Dual Specs in patch 3.1

    I'd really prefer it to be lower, but I'm not the intended audience I assume. Like mentioned above, some players would respec every time they wanted to do something different. A raid spec, a pvp spec, a farming spec... at 50g a pop, that adds up. I mostly wanted it to have my regular spec and...

    George RR Martin to his detractors

    While I do agree with you, for the most part this isn't folks stalking him. I mean, he's announcing his private life, and complaining when folks waiting for closure ask "what about us?". Are some of them out of line? certainly so, but that doesn't mean there's no reason folks have become...

    George RR Martin to his detractors

    Maybe that was it, two trilogies, then he decided on a bridge book, then split the bridge. I'm also pretty sure he said when he split it that the second half would be really quickly since it was so done... But, yeah, I don't recall specifically given that my information is mostly from a friend...

    George RR Martin to his detractors

    I read the first trilogy, it was decent, but by the end of the trilogy I felt I was done with it, and when it eventually came out with book 4, I felt no draw. It was a 7 book series, IIRC, two trilogies with a link in the middle, but now it's changed as book 4 became books 4 and 5, and...

    DollHouse #! Ghost Season 1/2009

    Writing, pacing, music, it was all "off" imo. Acting too, sure. Like I said, if I liked the premise more, I'd keep watching. I think it's going to tighten up and improve as the season progresses, but I won't remember it by then.

    DollHouse #! Ghost Season 1/2009

    I didn't really post before since I didn't watch all of it and didn't really want to be negative about it. I got bored with it half way through and went to bed instead. All the acting had that stilted daytime soap opera feel to it, and the music was also not really toned well to the scenes...

    New Miniatures... Info?

    What I believe he's saying is that any further research would cost more than it would profit. If the amount of money an indepth market research effort would cost would also make the line non-profitable or at least not increase the profit... why bother? (Especially for WotC, who can simply blame...

    New Miniatures... Info?

    While sales may have been decreasing, just focusing on the random aspect was a bit odd for me. WotC sort of ignored: 1) the drop in quality 2) the change to DDM2 3) the switch to D&D4e There were a lot of changes around the same time, and they used sliding sales to justify killing the line...

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    The "literalist" comes out when some one goes from "this thing is as loud as a chainsaw!" to claiming that it is Truth, by such means as "does indeed" or other means. Hyperbole is exaggerating for effect, not claiming that it's the truth, as it were. What I'm saying it, it's subjective...

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    Sure, but hyperbole shouldn't include "does indeed" and other such "this is truth" statements. I'm not saying mine is a reasonably queit model, so much as that any noise it makes is background noise that is not noticeably game-detering. I've had a first gen, a replacement for that, and now an...

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    I can notice the noise of my 360, but it's never bothered me in the least. I accept that the 360 might be louder than another console, but no way is it equal to a chainsaw or anything like that.
