• • The Dark Knight 9.7 out of 10, internet movie database...

  • I just saw this movie last night, and it was amazing. It wasn't a superhero movie, it was a crime epic. All actors were great and Heath was absolutely brilliant (with a little help from the script, as it was perfect). Easily the best superhero movie of all time, and probably one of the best movies of all time. Ironman raised the bar for superhero movies and TDK took that bar and broke it over its knee.

    As far as the Heath Ledger performance, it was outstanding. Finally, a REAL villain. The true villain worthy of being called Batman's best nemesis. While I agree that it absolutely trounces Jack's performance in Tim Burton's Batman, I have no desire to undermine Jack's great acting. I just felt like I was watching Jack Nickolson as the Joker, as opposed to The Joker. Anyways, the whole feeling and ambience of the Burton movies was no setting for the diabolical and brilliant psycho (pure chaos in motion) that was The Joker in Nolans' version. Giving credit to Heath is not enough as the script and direction of the character was literally on the edge of insanity. Purely brilliant.

    I also liked Maggie as Rachel much more than the weak Katie Holmes performance. She's a good actress in other movies and really hot, but Maggie just blew her away.

• • What will stop cheating programs (botting) in MMO.

  • 1. Change the morality of people through religion, common decency, and/or brainwashing (ie: Big Brother, gov't issued drugs, or brain wave scanning).

    2. Teach your children fair play and good competitive morals through effective child rearing techniques.

    3. Backward ip addressing coupled with capital punishment.

    Just some ideas as it's not the games, it's the people. Stop blaming "the game" for your stupidity.

• • Which games had the best Crafting?

    And I have been reading about EQ2 and its,  excelent crafting system and was going to try it.  So i'm immensly curious as to how EQ2s crafting has been cut to pieces?

    
     

    EQ2's crafting used to make you create all the ingredients for the final product, and then make the product. For instance, you needed to shape the metal into a bar, then make the solvent needed to soften the metal, then combine those combines into a final product, so it was a 4 step process for EACH item to make.

    Now all you need is raw materials, and then hit the create, and play a little whack-a-mole game to get a final product. Also, there is only ONE final product, where there used to be 3 levels of quality within the same product. Like "crude sword", "sword", or "pristine sword". Now there is just "sword".

    While the original system was a bit much, I think they changed it too much. Taking out a couple steps would've been fine, but now it's just ONE step. No biggey, didn't break the game for me.

    Vanguard's crafting is very good, and Horizons crafting was excellent. SWG and UO's crafting was quite good as well.

• • Why so many MMOs encourage player masochism...

  • Not all games are like this. Just because "WoW did it", doesn't mean that's the way it is. In fact, it's one of the biggest flaws of WoW, among other blatant stupidity.
