Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

As far as I'm aware yes there is for most tournaments, just like there is for most serious business SC2 and LoL tourneys. But I'd inquire in the Dota 2 thread for specifics.
"Camp the zone borders!" is the boringest pvp ever conceived.
NOPE.
i miss him ;_;
Being the gate camper is pretty boring and dumb but running through gate blockades was pretty fun!
anyone have any particularly hilarious stories from their day today?
Vegetarian pizza of some description because I will spend the morning playing with Mr. Lamb Lamb, and that will be easy
Pasta will be seafood medley of some description (Or maybe jambalaya? I do have sausage ...) because I have a lot of that sitting around >_>
Annnnd someone else can figure out the sandwich and salad specials. Maybe something rad will come in with the bread order and it'll all make sense in the morning.
do you ever get customers who come in and like
gimme spaghetti
Ebert was a fantastic movie critic. He was demonstrably incorrect on the "Games as art" question, though, and he was uncharacteristically stubborn about this position long after he made it.
And that's the caveat that, more then anything else, draws me to Wildstar right now. It's not a sandbox any more then GW2 is, but it's trying to put as much of that idea into the game without just becoming EvE's do anything you want like train skills, read spreadsheets, drool over politics done by sociopaths and mine space rocks with your laser (something that 98% of miners do with bots).
Sandboxes are needed for emergent gameplay, the key to bringing in the real value of MMOs and making a game that's persistent and driven by player agency as much as if not moreso then what the devs do. But it can't just be a straight up sandbox, there has to be more to it then that, and it has to be well executed. Better combat that's more action driven like TERA or more skill based like Mount and Blade's directional stuff, better crafting and economic structures and controls, better graphics, better everything really.
Oh my yes
And it's on the menu :P
Most of our regular crowd aren't fancy - the basic menu is pretty straight-forward
It's just the specials that I get to play with regularly and have my fun
And they're mostly for the summer beach crowd, from what I've experienced so far - who are already starting to show up!
saddddd
who cares
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things
nope. love the dude. there's a reason why he wasn't a video game critic.
I still feel bad about him dying, in spite of being very upset with his opinion on video games as art. He was a good man and a good movie critic, in a entertainment industry more obsessed with stalking stars and moronic rumours rather then caring about the artistic products of those very celebrities.
I think MMOs should target more niche communities because I think those are more long lasting communities and more tight nit. STO is a good example, EvE, DAoC(people still play!) and so on. WoW was a freak accident.
Actually I am also sick of Fantasy and Fantasy in Space stuff. I wouldn't mind a nice Earth and Beyond remake or something like Anarchy Online turned into a Shadowrun style mmo. You could buy an apartment!
Then die horribly like most runners.
I think Cryptic has a good idea with letting the community make content. NWN lasted because of that. Look at mod communities for HL1 and HL2.
I am not sure try to recreate that "nostalgia" is the way to go anymore. But instead they should change how they should make MMOs.
I think that is part of why I backed Camelot Unleashed. It is very much that niche only mmo. And a niche I like.
I just view stuff like that as going half the distance, or not taking things far enough. Many MMOs, even so-called WoW clones have their own little quirks where they do something differently, and it's interesting, but it always comes off as half assed and isn't fleshed out enough to engage me. I see Wildstar as a mish-mash of ideas that are a cross between the old and the new, and it doesn't excite me.
pfft that looks comfy. well too much clutter but the one that has a stove and a fridge? that's all you need.
I agree!
I have and enjoy a spartan existence. I don't even cook.
But one of the benefits of said spartan existence is that I save the hell out of my money.
Those prices are ballkicks.
But the game has many other issues and it's such a monstrosity that it's difficult to say what else should be done.
And it is, but for me it's good enough provided it delivers, which I guess I'll find out soon as their ramping up CB testing soon with an initial stress test this month.
I have played more MMOs then I care to remember, from Global Agenda to Runescape, Shadowbane to Hellgate: London, Aion to DAoC, Warhammer to the original Darkfall. I just can't help myself, even though I know full well the dangers of hype and runaway scale and scope.
I will continue to hope and pine for that one MMO that changes the trend, for me at least, and until then I will continue to be a wanderer of the various dimensions these various dev houses half bake and spit out.
I have a shit-ton of clothes, but I don't really use a closet. I just have a ton of wall hooks and have transformed my room into a massive walk-in. It looks great.
Yeah the prices are what make it unreasonable.
As a fellow non-cooker I do miss cooking when my options for food become limited. Like right now. There's a 24/7 diner and thaaat's about it.
Someone make that.
God so much hope for it and it was such a hot mess. So bad. Tried to make something similar to EvE but missed the mark by a few football fields.
Dont worry. The steam punk loft still exists.

I would love to just have access to the Merch and goonswarm forums just to watch the random acts of malice.
I have a closet but mostly use the floor.
I'm 31.
Technically.
The only winning move is not to play and instead to listen to secret post OP communications from The Mittani and his merry band of pod kiddies on Soundcloud.
Maybe the World of Darkness game, if it ever comes out, will be neat.
You make a lot more money in the city. It offsets a bit of the LOL cost of living.

There is a ridiculously hot girl in a wheelchair in my history class.
Like, how do you even have an amazing ass when you can't walk?
I want to have dirty differently-abled wheelchair sex with her
Real talk
You and me Mazzy. We seen some shit. We've been there and back again.
Until I'm playing EVE.
It is the only game I have such fond memories of despite all the other memories which lead to my not playing if for the last few years.
Shadowbane actually got me into big 'mainstream' MMOs. I had been playing Runescape but Shadowbane was the first big MMO I was interested in. I even joined a guild in preparation and a guildmate introduced me to Dark Age of Camelot and we played that while we waited. I thought DAOC was really cool. Playing that MMO was when I had that sense of wonderment you get at first. I'm sure the world wasn't actually that engaging but I felt like it was positively alive and I wanted to explore it.
Then Shadowbane came out and almost immediately I was like, ehhhhhh.
I'm visualizing a bastardized love child of SimCity and Age of Empires Online. I want to puke.
too real.
