    Blocking game splash screens and advertisements

    Awesome idea. Can't help at all with any coding, but just wanted to say thanks. :)

    No strong opinions either way, but you don't see the cycle this creates? You get a few core raiders who are constantly getting upgrades that keep them at the top of the charts, while people who are gearing up a bit slower begin to fall more steadily behind and get frustrated. It really does...

    So.. about Fallout 3

    While we're at it ... Keyser Soze = Verbal Kint Sorry, couldn't resist.

    You can make a pretty good case for either, I think. It definitely looks like it could rhyme with "harrow," "barrow," (as in wheel) or "Farrow" (as in Mia), but I can just as easily see how it would be pronounced "dar-oh". No good indicators either way, honestly.

    Having just leveled an alt up to 70 over the past few weeks, I'd say leveling's actually changed a good bit. The quest exp has been jacked up enough that it's not worth it to spend any real time grinding or squeaking out the last few quests in an area. Just grab a bunch of quests in a new...

    Armor penetration as a stat is getting a nice buff in 3.1 (+25% to the effect per point of ArPen rating), so the value is going up a good bit for many classes. From a quick check at the EJ forums, it looks like ArPen is going to be one of the top three stats for feral dps druids after the patch.

    Good Old Games Interview

    No Planescape: Torment yet, unfortunately. Games I would *love* to see on GOG: Planescape: Torment Baldur's Gate series System Shock 2 Thief Series I would happily buy every single one of those games within 5 minutes of them being available.

    Bored with WoW?

    Yeah, this was by far my biggest complaint. Funcom did a lot really cool, interesting stuff to make playing a melee complicated and interactive. Unfortunately, the caster playstyle is exactly like it is in every other game. Basically boiled down to melees playing Tekken while the casters...

    NASA MMO

    Yep, god forbid NASA do something that could encourage children to get interested in science at an early age. Next thing you know, those kooky kids just might start thinking that maybe the earth isn't 6000 years old! Something like this won't be aimed at adult gamers, it's much more of a...

    BG NWN2 mod to hit this summer?

    Absolutely. I'd buy NWN2 in a heartbeat if I could replay the BG Series and Planescape: Torment with the engine. Also dying for a mod for Fallout 3 that redoes the first two Fallouts.

    DEAD: Left 4 Dead 50% off on Steam!

    Really is a fantastic game if anyone's on the fence about picking it up. I grabbed it a few weeks ago and have been playing with some old friends who I started computer gaming with in the early 90's. Got burned out on the genre a long time ago (with the exception of Bioshock in recent years)...

    Will their be a WoW Killer?

    As a former hard-core now casual raider, it really is a completely different game in a lot of respects, and most of the ones that matter. Just for some perspective: I started raiding on my druid when raiding meant taking 30 people into buggy Scholo and half the raid could die instantly to...

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (WotLK, where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Yep, this is absolutely true. I just started up a new account and, from scratch, hit 80 in almost exactly 6 days /played with enough cash to train epic flight and cold weather flying about a quarter of the way through 77. Although the 800g saved on normal flight training was an excellent perk...

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (WotLK, where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Woohoo for the patch! Funnily enough, as a druid I'm happy about the tagging changes, too. I'm feral and farm in cat form, so I always pull with Faerie Fire and have had people tag mobs before I had a chance to damage them. This is a new character, though, so I'm especially psyched about...
