I got more enemies from this MMO forum than Brad Pitt has fans. You'll get used to it.

Skroo Joo Enigma! Scroooo Jooo!

Well for me the "gamesday" I'm talking about was the Warhammer tabletop stuff that I'm not particularly interested in but I went because Mythic brought about a dozen computers and set them up so that people could test out the Warhammer Online game.  I went in there, looked around at everything just to see what the people were doing.  Found some things interesting, others not so much.  There were quite a bit of hot girls dressed up as elves

Anyways, my buddies and I went over to the booths, played it for a good 20 minutes because most of the other people were busy painting figurines and playing table top scenarios.  We got quite a bit of time with the people and the game itself.  We threw our names into a draw and later on they handed out 50 beta spots, 2 of my friends got them and now I periodically use them to see what's up and so on.

Yep, Toronto games day and friends beta account.

You can thank Teala for this one.  I suggest you go read her blog or make a pass at her or something

I'll see where it goes.  Who knows I might even give it a try.  However I was never really a fan of the MK games.  It was only a passing interest at one point.  I think I'll stick to the newer street fighter games or Rival Schools

I'm not too excited about this since all the Mortal Kombat gore is going to be removed.  You're not gonna see anybody decapitate the other guy anymore because the DC people stated that to this point most if not all of their characters have been in "family friendly" situations and they don't want to change that.  The guy over at GUComics made a strip where you see zub zero and batman playing go fish instead of fighting.  They might as well give one another severe purpler nurples at the rate this is going.

I don't need the keyboard specifically for gaming so I'm gonna pass on the z-board.  I've had the other z-boards with the interchangeable key sets and I hated it.  It felt wrong and I was not impressed with the quality.

The Saitek you guys mentioned I'm going to look into but I'm not too sure about it.

I will definitely look into the Razer Lycosa because it's the closest to what I'm looking for.  Just to get a better idea of what I'm looking for I'll give you this immage:

But then again I've yet to see it in person so I can't really make the call.  Thanks for the suggestions.

Since I've been spending a bit more time on my computer lately I've started to think of other possibilities regarding my keyboard.

About a month ago all I had access to was a laptop and I got used to the way the keys felt and the fact that the keys just didn't travel all that far for the key stroke to register.  I found that to be a good thing.  It felt as if I could type faster where I didn't have to wait for the longer key travel to take effect.  It might sound kind of silly but it fells that way to me.

Since then I've been looking into "laptop like" keyboards that either simulate the feel or are more or less made the same way as a laptop keyboard and have yet to decide on any in particular.  So now here I am asking any of you if you have any experience with said keyboards and could perhaps recommend something or point me in some kind of direction.  They don't have to be backlit or anything just more of a feel and function of the laptop like keyboards.

In the OP's defense you can only have 10 items on the poll so there is no way to fit everything in there.

Dark Age of Camelot for the win!

I guess it all depends on how WAR turns out and if it satisfies what the DAoC players are after.

Mythic is releasing the Origins server later this year at the end of the summer I think so that should bring some of the old timers back.  I might be one of those as well as a few of my friends.  Only time will tell.

Probably anything 2 GB or higher cpu with about 512 ram and a mediocre vid card should do.  Look at the old diablo games and consider the time it was released and what kind of platform it required.  But then again probably not even that high.

I doubt they'd want to release a game that requires you to severely upgrade your computer.  They'd much rather make a game that will play right out of the box on just about any current PC so that they can sell more product right off the bat.  It's what they did with WoW and I don't see any reason to change their busyness model.

Sorry man, not my cup of tea.  But by all means you go right ahead and enjoy.

Yeah... that's some freaky shit right there.

Even though I don't particularly care for the artist I'll hep you out.

the song is called Boten Ana and it's by Basshunter.

Now I'm going to go play some Godsmack or something just to get that stuff out of my head.

Like some of the above said the problem is with it's fan base and how they think that WoW is the be all and the end all of games.  It is their belief that WoW can do no wrong and that anybody who dislikes it has something seriously wrong with them.  Think about it this way:  You're driving to work and you listen to the radio and say you hear a song you like but then they continue to play that song over and over and every day you go to work and you hear nothing but that one song and eventually it looses it's meaning and you begin to dislike it.

It is that incessant, constant, omnipresent fanboi that feels the need to enter just about every thread on any board to incite a flame war because he/she went in there to spout something about a WoW clone.  The worst part is most of those people refuse to see the other side, refuse to even acknowledge it's existence.

Someone above said that those who enjoy the game play it and don't bother coming here to post and I agree somewhat.  The problem here is that there is a good chunk of the people who play it that feel they need to champion WoW's cause and sing it's praises to all the "non-believers".  Even if someone went to a message board totally not relative to WoW and posted a topic that pointed out 1 flaw, even if it was done with a humble tone and respect would still garner a massive amount of fans that would come there and smother the post with negativity, immaturity and just general asshattery.

I played WoW for over a year.  Got to 60 before the expansion and left because I stopped enjoying myself.  Then when the Expansion dropped I went out and picked it up because I wanted to see what they did that was perhaps new.  Got to 70 and shortly after that I just left.  I, personally, feel that the community was lacking and was not for me.  I could not find any commonality with most of the people that played.  I had real life friends that I played in and each and every one walked away with the same feelings.  I went to WoW with the intention to broaden my circle of gaming friends from the personal real life ones to more people whom I'd meet in game but as the game went on I found less and less reason to talk to most of them.  Sure there were few that I found and I still keep in touch with them but they were few and so far between that it too more effort then necessary to find them.

Anyways, that's the end of my rand and my reasons why I dislike wow.

/rant off

Pretty much why I left about 1 year ago.  It is the cross realm crap that got to me.  I too liked to grind the mobs like I did in DAoC because if I got tired of one spot I could always switch.  Grinding quests and having to move around the entire map just to kill 1 or 2 mobs was kind of annoying for me.

The game itself is great, it just needs a helping hand and the developers need to step in and fix some of the blatant BS that goes on and I think the game might back some of the things it has lost.

Yep.  You have to set a ground target for your turret pets.  If I remember correctly the default ground target setting button was F5 but depending on what setup you use for your controls that might be different.  Go into your options and set the keys up so you know what it is, then set the ground target where you want it and start casting.
