If it really is aliens, it will freak me out.

 

Considering the scale of this event, I don't see any reason to believe it isn't natural.  The articles state that the black hole began spewing whatever that "death ray" is nearly a million years ago.  It's literally reshaping the galaxy that's crossed into the stream.  This event is so massive that it's almost incomprehensible.  Considering a galaxy is made up of millions of stars most of whom are far larger than our sun...what kind of aliens would we be dealing with here do you think?

 

Why do think this is the work of aliens?

Well, tell me how it couldn't

The sheer scale of this phenomenon is so staggering that there is absolutely no chance of it being aliens.  You have to realize the scope of the situation.  Manipulating galaxies or even black holes is so remote in it's possibility that the aliens would have to have technology beyond any scope of the imagination.  All you are seeing there is a naturally happening with no interference from any alien civilization.  The other thing you have to understand is that this is happening so far away, so many millions of light years that the whole thing could be over with by now and we'd only be seeing it starting now.  Some of the super nova's that have been shown by scientists have exploded tens of thousands of years ago and their matter has been scattered across the galaxies but since we're so far away it takes light so long to reach us that we only see it now.

It's not a skirt!   It's a loincloth. 

I guess brawny, hairy guys must do something for you.  I for one welcome the idea that a real mans man is represented here.  No metrosexuals or any of that nonsense.

also noone said nothing about porno scenes its the blood gushing from the heads of freshly slain enemies as it flies through the air and spatters the camera.

That still only earns it an "M"

 

Ironic isn't it? Where something as natural and a part of life as sex and nudity is considered more taboo than senseless gory violence.

The thing is, what you said has been said before and it doesn't seem to have any impact.  I'd personally much rather see sex and nudity then gore and violence but that's just me 

Funcom has released very little in regards to the classes.  Only lately have I found some decent information and that was on the Ten Ton Hammer website.  They've been releasing biweekly Q and A's with the creators of AoC.  Apparently they've reworked the classes and gotten rid of some of them such as the Lotus Master and have incorporated some of the ideas from that class into the assassin's skill trees.

They've done the fighting classes (tanks) and are now going through the rogue/assasin archetypes.  Eventually they'll get to the casters so until then just hang out and watch for the info.

The person that made that comment is who those posts are directed at.

To the OP:

Good for you man, you got your life under control with a healthy balance of all things

I'm looking forward to this one.  I've been playing 3rd Strike on and off now for a few years and really want to see where they'll go with this one.  I just hope they make all the characters viable and not put in something like Sean where you can see his moves from miles away.  Here's hoping

Go into your profile and under options scroll down about half of a page and select your avatar from the small list there.  The top will be No avatar followed by whatever picture you added.  Select that and hit the save changes on the bottom of the page and it should work

The beast always rages... on and on.  Music just helps guide it, channel the energy into something more positive.  Even at my mellowest the beast broods in it's cave, eyes alight with burning fires, watching, waiting....

I tend to wake up to rock music.  It's my version of caffeine since I don't drink coffee at all.  I usually crank some Disturbed bring and early and it starts me up and helps me roll out of bed.  There are other times when I get home from work with a particularly tough day where I had to deal with difficult people demanding rediculous things of me with complete lack of common sense that I come home and put on some Jesse Cook classical guitar/flamenco type stuff that helps me unwind and relax.

There are other times when I'm surfing this site, or the web in general or when I'm playing away in some mmo that I turn on some The Crystal Method and just run it in the background.  Other times I've played mellow music while I frag people in Unreal Tournament.  Many times it has happened where I'd be in a very action oriented situation and relaxing music would be playing in the background.

Any time

I can't seem to send a pm to anybody.  Is the mail system down?

You will notice that the OP is only found when you post in your own post.  The OP stands for Original Poster and tells everybody that you started the thread in question.  If you post in someone else's you'll notice the op is not there anymore

I was listening to the track David by GusGus.  Not the original but the Luke Chable remix ( I think he's australian ) and I was wondering if someone could point me to some music that has a similar sound to it as that song in particular.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance

that is THE only good news!

Fix'd!! 

That may be the case.  I can personally admit that I did enjoy the battle grounds but I enjoyed them because they were not instanced, "fair" matchups.  I went in there knowing that there is a definite posibillity that I will be outnumbered or that my team will outnumber theirs. 

Just so you know, there are game pads, joysticks and all kinds of periferals available for your pc.  I played Need for Speed Most Wanted all the way through using a Logitech controller that simulates a ps2 controller.

I see no reason why you couldn't use any of those to play your games on the pc and still get that console feeling.

Daoc is still the best game Ive played thus far. Every game I try out now I gauge against it. However, you cannot play the same game forever. Even a good thing gets stale after a while (Reminds me of an old twilight zone episode). None the less, Wether we play it now or not, it was a great game and deserves to be rememberd fondly.
SWG players also are very similar. They LOVED the game before NGE, now they also have similar posts.
I, like many, feel that WAR is like the second coming of DAOC. NOt the same game, but I have same feeling in my GUT when I think about playing it ...an "us Vs them" kind of feeling ...a "defend the bridge at all costs" kind of  feeling ...an "I hate Hibbies" kinda feeling.

LOL. As a Hib...I hated albs with a passion. ON my server we were soo outnumbered back in the day. If all the albs showed up to the mile gate you'd be looking at a nice screenshot for about 5 minutes and then crash, heh.

I think age and new frontiers killed it. TOA sucked, but new frontiers, in an effort to make things easier...took away the challenge.

In the old days, people would rally to the keeps that were under attack and defend them. There were certain choice routes people would take to get to the fight. Sometimes half of the strategy was just getting to the fight in one piece without getting mauled along the way.

The best pve grind was in the frontier, so you could always find groups of 45ish toons out there trying to grind to 50. It was easy to pick a fight..you just kill them, and all their buddies would show up 10 minutes later and the chaos would begin!

New frontiers made it too easy to get around and such. No one really had to run the route to get to the fight, they just teleported there.

It took everyone completely out of the game except casters and archers. (and some assassin types.)

People would just hump towers and lob fireballs at people pretty much.

Around that time WoW came out also, and a lot of the veteran population left.

My entire guild hopped to WoW and left me stranded. I joined another guild for pvp that disintegrated almost as fast.

Solo'ing was never really an option unless you had a buffbot or two laying around.

But it was still a pretty cool game when I quit...I had just been playing it for too many years, and all my friends had left. (and I didn't feel like making new ones.)

D. Former elf ranger/lancelot :cP

I think more games comming out in the near/distant future should look at the model of 1 server one realm/faction/side type of thing.  I believe it spawns loyalty and passion.  It just makes the game just that much more personal.  You begin to feel for the game, for the events that go on.  I guess it becomes an emotional attachment if you will.  That's why most of us talk about it.

"you had to be there"

Hat's off to Jeff.  He called it how he saw it.  Then again I never really cared much for reviewers and reviews for just about anything.  I see it for myself rather then believing that some douche out there got paid to say that whatever he's reviewing is "riveting".

All I want to know is if you were able to keep a straight face while writing this or how you came upon all the random words

Having facial hair is not as great as you might think.  When I was between 14 and 15 years old  and my mustache started to slowly show I was all excited about having to shave.   Now  10 years later I'm tired of it.  I hate shaving, it pisses me off.  If it wasn't for the annoying remarks of family and some of the women I know I'd just let it grow.  Also when it gets to a certain length it starts to annoy me so I get rid of it... but it comes back again and again.

I'm starting to think I'll just have my face lazered and get rid of it all for good but that sounds like a last ditch effort.
