Hey man.. They treatin' you good down there? I read some reviews on Wizard 101, seems to be favored for the audience it targets. Steph left eh? That part I hadn't heard. I guess I'm rather glad I didn't take the onsite position afterall. Yoinks O.o

I am a Diablo junkie, so I am looking forward to this. I'm getting too old to be hyped, though. I was hyped for D2, and had a lot of disappointments, even though it was a good game. Not hyped for this, but do look forward to it. Sadly, I still prefer Gemstone over a lot of games these days...

I'm glad you decided to build your own, that linked system was severely overpriced. I am bias toward AMD for the price/performance potential. Intel's stuff right now is very good, but if it's a gaming machine there's a good deal more importance placed on the GPU over the CPU. Once you get...

Just a "covering my ASSets" follow-up. 1) I didn't know of HJ at the time I wrote this. Obviously I wouldn't be working on HJ now if I didn't think it broke the norm. I feel we have the DM / PC potential, and hope to live up to that lost interaction many people would like to experience. 2) I...

Hopefully I won't get creamed for posting this as a GM... :) I wrote this for a journalism class in college (casual-type piece, something to be found in a student newspaper, or some such). Was written sometime in 2004, I think, before I was a GM for Simu, so of course it's my views as a...

I'm not sure if it's games that are getting wasteful, or consumers who are just more demanding of more, more, more. It's like throwing raw content at the problem will make it all better. But really, if you spend $700 on a new graphics card (just the card!) you want to see it in action...

Aye, it was my point. Live an American lifestyle, and yes we're overpopulated. If every Chinese drove a buick, we'd all be dead. I know they are gravitating more toward a western style of life, which is not a good thing. You cannot tell people not to advance, true. But there is threat of...

A late vote, I know, but I just ran across this poll just now. I voted no; we are not over populated. I think it's mainly perception, of especially Americans, who tend to have a more rural view on the world. So cities and other dense areas feel overpopulated, but it's an organizational...

You'll be fine.

I picked up AoC a few days ago and have managed to play a couple toons, my highest to level 16 or so. So this is just first impressions. - Combat is fun. The melee attacks and combos make WoW and other "auto attack" MMOs feel like child's play. I like it. - Casting is basically the same...

Yeah, but in my opinion MMOs aren't the best at this. There's an entire thriller/action genre (Resident Evil, Silent Hill), and first person shooters nowadays... F.E.A.R, Half-Life 2, Doom 3... FEAR and half-life 2 were awesome for the creepy/spooky/too scared to go into the next room...

While similar, it's not the same idea as Wyr. You'll find Wyr in HJ to be a pretty encompassing idea, reflecting and affecting many elements of your character, not just "+1 strength" or "+5 damage to fireball." The inscription stuff seems like a neat, yet generic, way to expand WoW's...

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with the money schemes now-a-days. Pay $50 for the box then if you like the game, keep paying 15 a month. So much money, imo. I like either paying a monthly fee with a free download... or paying for the box and no monthly fee (but will pay for another box...

I ask myself that question all the time... Like thinking about the live game and not a development environment. The answer is, I really don't know. On one hand I'll likely do it out of necessity as part of the on going process of making sure everything works smoothly, but I'm a gamer at...
