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.

LOTRO is a good example of the model being done mostly correct, but for every LOTRO there are thousands of games that very poorly implement it.
I was never, because I've always been maybe a bit too much into stuff like that
but yeah, riot police armor are for stopping punches. They're not going to stop any bullet at all.
I am something of an expert now.
Come to me with all of your hummus-based questions.
I don't think I laughed once the last time I saw Airplane
10 WHY
20 GOTO 10
I read "humans" at first and thought, yeah, we've heard.
i'm really not shitting on BR's style - i think they have some nicely-styled stuff. my problem is that their build quality is super-uneven and their prices are way too high for that quality of gear.
i think it comes from the fact that BR, the gap and old navy are three kind of indistinct tiers of the same company, and they end up sourcing their stuff from the same places. so you often end up getting old navy build quality at br prices
by the same token, you can find some amazing deals at old navy
@Aresprophet actually, I haven't played at all since then. Even that night >.>
I can't he's in the wrong country.
This is very much how I feel about free to play games: at some point you should feel pressured to pay for them, you know, because this is a product and the devs aren't doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.
The only problem is when you come to the point where you're like "Okay, I've paid the equivalent of $50 for the game and a $15/month subscription fee, and I still need to buy more funbucks to have fun." If I'm paying more value than I would normally for a game I want to feel like I'm getting more value than I would normally for a game. If I'm having less fun than I normally would with a game and I'm not paying a dime...well, maybe I should start paying?
also i kind of want to hold off on any of it until i get my new computer
I did not know this.
kind of like how Pizza Hut / Taco Bell / KFC are the same company... eventually everything will be Halliburton.
They suck. F2P or Buy To Play models are way better for persistent games. When I'm subscribing to something I feel the need to get my money's worth and if I don't feel like playing I get annoyed and have to decide between staying subscribed to see if I start playing normally again or just unsubscribing and not playing period. Then I don't have access to the game I paid $60 for.
But I also have never seen anything there that wasn't overpriced
How do you like Mel Brooks movies?
Why're our parents so tiny.
Either charge for your game up front and include all the levels/dungeons/shit (excluding expansions) or don't and make your money selling skins and mounts and wearable purple dildos
And you can say a game's pricing model is stupid or you don't like it without being entitled
I am an edge case, because in LOTRO I have a lifetime subscription because I paid 200 or 300 bucks when the game launched.
By far the best investment I have ever made from a gameplay perspective. I think I have two months worth of hours logged onto one character.
I also get 500 fun bucks a month, so whenever I take a break I come back to thousands of fun bucks to spend in the store.
It's pretty great.

also, camwhore time?
since I have my camera operational again I say that it is camwhore time. Come on y'all, whore yerselves out.
EVE Online would really benefit from going F2P.
Also from being fun.
By far, it is the game I am angriest about not being fun.
I would play the game a lot more if it was F2P. Like, actually free to play and not free to play by buying PLEX for 300 million dollars.
I absolutely loathe them and don't understand why anyone likes them, even after talking about it and making the effort
Usually I can understand contrary opinions but nope
oh my god
your dad looks so proud
legit heartwarming
@Organichu hell yes
pay super close attention, though. turn on the subtitles if you miss something. the movie plays mostly fair but you are told things ONCE and ONCE ONLY
I am actually glad I watched it on DVD where I had the luxury of taking my time to really get what was going on
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things
I bet you hate pun trees too.
they should have found a way to make the new maps accessible to everyone while including something to buy for people that play the game seriously
But I don't think I've ever even smiled while watching a Mel Brooks film, or been able to finish one.
nerds have a really shitty attitude towards ftp games. i think it comes from the culture of piracy that people have gotten used to - they just expect that all media will be free for them pretty much always.
hamurabi is able to moonlight as a streetlamp, though.
