I take it with a grain of salt when someone says they got permabanned because they said, "eff-yeah, I got a nice item" in general chat. The number of times in the last eight days I've seen people be called a because they wanted adivce, or a becaus…

I noticed Captain Penzan too. The bookcarts in Divinity's Reach are full of pop culture references. The first one I clicked on mentioned something about a giant turtle, an obvious Discworld reference.

Originally posted by andreawales I think it must be the constant mention of Decks I guess. I thought about TCOS this weekend for the first time in over a year, so you're not the only one. But I'm not sure the connection is any more than what y…

Originally posted by midmagic Originally posted by TheAesthete But a book generally takes as long to read as a game takes to play... It takes me under 5 hours to read most literature books I read. It takes many people much less time. …

It's true that games take longer to play than tv shows or movies take to watch. But a book generally takes as long to read as a game takes to play, and book criticism has the longest tradition of all (well, technically theater cricism is older). Bu…

So. . . leaving aside the whole fanboy/ hateboy thing y'all have got going, is anyone actually taking advantage of the free weekend? I am! Apart from the question of whether or not the game is any good, I think this free weekend has a couple of th…

I've always thought when people praise the "storytelling" in Bioware games they're really just using the word as a shorthand to describe a whole bunch of things, of which narrative is only one. Stuff like worldbuilding (backstory, lore, etc). Charac…

Originally posted by Ceridith Personally I think Steam is the lesser evil of all of them, because they're the most impartial and offer a wider range of products and services than the rest, with less hassle. I agree with this to an extent. For m…

This is no different from Steam being the sole source of digital downloads for games made by its parent company, Valve. There's no Portal or Half-Life on direct2drive. And if you want to talk about strongarm tactics, I've rarely felt sorrier for a c…

Originally posted by nolf Then you have the bugs. Mind you, I played ONE YEAR AFTER RELEASE. I was running into bugs in the starter missions. When I went and searched the forums I found that THESE BUGS WERE REPORTED IN THE BETA. Pathetic. T…

Originally posted by Sevenwind I think and someone correct me if I'm wrong but they give a better reward the first week they come out and then tone down the reward. I'm not certain on that, but I thought I read that somewhere. My understandin…

Originally posted by Turdinator Originally posted by TheAesthete there's nothing in STO that's hardcore. Yeah............that was kind of the point. So your point was that your brother is a fool. Ah, family. . .

I can't speak to your or your brother's experience (though I'm happy to say that, to the best of my knowledge, none of my own brothers have taken to the internet to make fun of me), but in my own experience there's nothing in STO that's hardcore. I …

Originally posted by nolf Any recommomendations about how to find missions worth my time, other than the weekly episodes? I'm no veteran, or even an expert, but my approach leveling my second character was to skip all the "Patrol X Sector B…

I was in beta and I got the game in December for a bargain basement price. It was definitely worth what I paid, but I was actually surprised by how little had changed since beta. Sector space looks different but it's still essentially the same. Grou…

No, it doesn't make sense that after liberating a space station from an unknown (to them) and incorporeal threat, you're asked to start assembling cocktails.

If you're hoping for complex missions about the political history between Bajor and Cardassia, you'll be disappointed. The game has loads of shout outs to fans, but they're more along the lines of being sent back in time and having to find a spare p…

Originally posted by jusomdude Originally posted by momodig Wonderwoman voice sounds like a actor that played on a kids detective show... I forget the name of it. She is an older african american lady (not being racist). The show is on the …

In terms of name recognition, I'm quite sure no MMO has had better voice talent. Half the cast of "Firefly" (Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Gina Torres), Michelle Forbes from Star Trek TNG, Homicide, True Blood and Battlestar Galacitca (you've probably…

Originally posted by Dinendae Don't get me wrong; I don't care about people using XP boosts in any PvE focused game, I just can't fathom who would actually need to spend real money for this in a game which has some of the fastest levelling in MMO…
