    I've seen all the twilight movies, ironically of course. They are actually really funny/tragically hilarious when it's all romance-y and shit.

    Then the actions scenes are actually pretty cool, also there's some good eye candy in it.

    They're fantastic with Rifftrax commentary.

    Guild and player housing is bad. Either is serves all the needs of a capitol city or its worthless and I'd rather have busy capitols.

    I thought the Hangover was boring because it seemed to be trying so hard to go for the whacky surprise element of "oh wow, we don't remember anything AND THIS CRAZY THING HAPPENED OMG HOW WEIRD ISN'T THAT?"

    I wasn't surprised when the third zany thing happened and I didn't care. "oh there's a tiger in your bathroom. how crazy. oh so there's a naked chinese man trapped in your car. fantastic"

    What were you expecting? I mean the movie was pretty up front in what it was offering up.

    yeah, that's what i was gonna say. i thought it was hilarious personally (though there are parts of that movie that just don't work), but it definitely does NOT need a sequel.

    The biggest problem with Rift is they market it as TOTES NOT A WOW CLONE, and then you play it and it is a WoW clone.

    Well I thought the execution would at least be funny. Instead it was the same trope over and over again with no actual variation.

    How do you balance making sure the world is dynamic and such while also making sure your content is being seen by a sufficient number of people to be worth while to produce?

    If killing big bad boss number 1 is a big world changing event then how do you not make everyone who wasn't lucky enough to be in the group shit out of luck?

    First one I am not 100% certain myself, but Asheron's Call 1 some how did it. You have to have parts that are dynamic(frontiers and such) and the more static(civilized areas). Actually SWG did this well from what I heard, I never got into it. Your additional content needs to have a reason behind it. Since it is competing with basically an open world.

    The second one is basically you thinking in that traditional mmo reference of the raid and the big boss. Maybe we should look away from this thought process to numerous small bosses. Forts to be taken. Barbarians to be conquered. Enemy civilizations to be colonized.

    This is the way I think mmos should be focusing. But this in a way moves it out of the high fantasy setting as well.

    Decorate it, maybe do something like FFXI had and develop actual in-game boons, and yeah just show it off and hang during downtime.

    MMOs aren't going to replace real life, but I play them because I want to feel a certain level of immersion that other games can't provide. I want to have a stake in it, essentially. I want to control something, develop it, and share it.

    Yes, it is a pretty closem WoW clone. You have the soul system, but in the end there is only 3-4 tank specs, 3-4 healing specs and 3-4 DPS specs for each class that has access to those roles at end game. There is little to do at the end but run dungeons and do raids.

    When I was a teenager, I thought my mom had caught me but she didn't say anything, so I thought I was safe.

    She waited about a week, after my guard was down, to bring it up.

    And after playing a game with player housing I can tell you housing doesn't kill capitals and towns. Or whatever is the important areas. If you want to think of it in wow terms it is a money sink for people who want to make something and decorate it.

    Guild halls are meeting places for people. So instead of afking in front of a bank they do it some place else. Really though, housing is a boom for players mentally. It gives you even more of a stake in a game than beating whatever random raid boss they make next.

    God, seriously. I miss being younger than all porn stars so much. It weirds me out to consider that I'm actually the same age as them. I'm not sure why. I guess it makes them seem that much more real.

    I had my ...stuff with me. Which I managed to turn off quickly and face the screen away from my mom super quickly. Like lightning.

    I put a fucking sign on my door that says "Hey, knock first, I could be naked" because I do hang out naked in my room sometimes. She just loves barging in still. My dad respects the sign more than she does.

    She was like "Ugh, are you naked?" and I'm like "YEAH" "Oh, well we're going to go walk the dog."

    I think the weirder thing is musical acts. Like everyone has their decade where they remember a lot of the pop music. For me its the 90's, and thats how I know I'm getting older, because I know less and less of pop music.
