  1. The only one on the Coyotes is Ray Whitney Interesting question, does Ray Whitney deserve a Hall of Fame nod? What if he improbably wins a second cup with Phoenix?
  2. I also voted for expanded Seattle. It makes sense, it is a huge part of the game, an area like Renraku Tech is going to be huge. I want them to wait on the other cities for sequels.
  3. I'm pretty sure HBOGo will separate from the cable channel eventually, they are missing out on a gold mine just to appease a few companies that haven't figured out streaming is the future.
  4. My battletag is Gfted1stalker, so feel free to add me.
  5. DA2 is actually the worst Bioware game I've ever played, so it's hard to muster much sympathy here.
  6. Why are you encouraging him ? Genius is often misunderstood. His posts are brilliant.
  7. We are all rooting for you. Make sure you post your video here when it is ready.
  8. Raithe, I hope that is you in the hat with the shades on. Very stylish!
  9. I think you should start a petition at Change.org. It's probably discrimination.
  10. Are you guys all capped out level-wise? I've been playing on two different servers, and the pops have been solid going through the first 1-30 levels. I'm rarely alone in an area. I think you just have a lot of people playing multiple characters, which means less folks at the cap trolling for end game content.
  11. I'm pretty sure WoW delivered. I also don't really see how Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3 are different because of WoW. You are coming across as more bitter than usual Morgy. You should come play TOR with me and relax a bit.
  12. I tend to get the heroics done once and then I move on. I rarely have trouble finding someone to jump in and play the 2 person ones with me. 4-persons are a bit tougher to get a group for, but I don't really feel I'm missing out if I don't get it done. There is a pretty huge amount of content in this game, and it is the first one that really has me into playing more than one character.
  13. Whoa, didn't notice the guys from Andromeda put their kickstarter up, I'll get on that one.
  14. I could see a decent space sim kickstarter getting some attention. Some sort of spiritual successor to Privateer.
  15. Early summer is a lot better than a few years, and not charging $25 is also pretty nice, even though they are trying to control it somewhat. I think you will see a population boost on the medium servers, it sounds like transferring to the heavy pop ones will be restricted. edit: The Legacy system adds a complication to TOR transfers, so I'm just happy we are getting them reasonably soon.
  16. But the 5 military groups listed were definitely world powers. They created empires. Not that they weren't impressive achievements for their time, but only the Roman empire lasted more than 20 years. True dat. (Mongols can make a case for a bit longer, but not by much.)

  18. I hope you are not teaching history It's military history goes back to the 13th century. Most of those on that list didn't last for 900 years. It's fairly well accepted that Russia doesn't become a world power until Peter the Great. We can debate about the first Tsars, different Slavic groups, and the Tartars, but until they start challenging other world powers like they did Sweden, I wouldn't consider them a military force to be reckoned with.
  19. Yeah, now that we are about 5 months in, I'd say the outlook is fairly healthy for TOR long term. That 1.2 patch addressed a huge laundry list of issues and seemed to stem the bleeding. I was a bit uncertain about the long term originally, but now I think it will have a good run.
  20. I'd put the Russian winter on that list. Russia as a military power really doesn't have that long of a history compared to most on that list. Same as the US.
  21. That's it? Huh, 25% actually sounds pretty reasonable, some of these MMO's lose much higher percentages after the initial months.
  22. The Yotes match up well against the Kings too, so if they can advance, they have a great chance at the finals.
  23. Wait, so it's not ok to be a freeloader? I'll be honest, your argument seems geared towards to complete opposite. If it isn't ok to be a freeloader, what exactly is your point here? My main point here is that piracy is morally wrong. Do you disagree with that?
  24. It is based on the honor system I believe. I'm guessing in a year or two we will see some fallout when a couple projects fail to deliver. Still, it seems like the majority of the investors are aware that there is some risk involved here, so hopefully the outcry will be minimal. edit: referring to Kickstarter.
  25. Yes, I mentioned it as a good alternative for those upset at publishers and DRM practices. It still runs the same risk of piracy, but the creator has a much clearer financial window to work under, and they don't have a publisher breathing down their necks for a return on the investment (just a bunch of super fans )
