Morrowind - did you know...
None of the mods really change the desolate areas of the islands, it's just that I've only been to the greener areas. I suppose it's up for debate whether or not they're supposed to be this green, but it works for me.
Forum: Games 🎮
Did you know Morrowind could look like this? It took me a full day of adding mods and tweaking but now I'm falling in love with it all over again. I mostly used Morrowind Expanded as a guide, though I added some more mods of my own. If anyone's interested in knowing which I'll...
2009 Release date poll
Maybe he meant dilating.
Still Humming Along
WoW and FFXI both suck in equal measure but different ways. So do basically all MMOs nowadays, just like Zink said. Nothing will come close to oldschool games like Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds (yes with all it's horrid gameplay, it had tons of social and event stuff that made it great), Dark...
Sci-Fi Watchmen (2009)
I didn't like the part in the credit roll at the start where they show what happens to silhouette. The way they did it makes it seem like she was killed for being a lesbian (and the fact no comment is made decrying that doesn't help matters) instead of being ostracised for being a lesbian and...

Hero's Journey, Dead?
I don't really know what to believe. But I do know this: Valendros, going "IT'S DEAD, I HAVE NO FACTS SO I WILL ASSUME!" over and over and over isn't helping anything. If you're so convinced it's dead then pack up and move on. Then if evidence comes out eventually to the contrary you can be...
Light the fires & kick the tires
Well Diviana I guess there's nothing we can really do besides take your word for it. Can you at least imagine why some of us are getting pretty skeptical though?
Beta Fever (zOMg!!1!!2 I WaNt in BETa!!!1!!2)
Heehee. :D
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? ...Are we there yet? :|
Does it count if it's something you're making yourself and it's not quite playable yet? :p
The Solo vs Group experience
Anything short of what would be the dating-service equivalent to finding people to go "steady" with in groups would just wind up being ignored by me as producing just as awful results as any other way of forming groups. Hell WoW supposedly added this in those group finding stones. I can't...
Well I did find http://www.play.net/hj/info/news/news.asp?id=118. Apparently I've misremembered slightly (I'm notorious for my bad memory) but still, there was a short burst of site activity from april-september and then it just stopped again which I find pretty disappointing.
I've been forced to group. I didn't like it. I want grouping to be optional. Maybe more effective than soloing, but not the only way to go about things. And yes, I have grouped with random strangers many, many times in the past decade of playing MMOs. I didn't use to even mind it so much...
To be fair with how long HJ has been under development Simu totally had that one coming. Especially after claiming they'd start updating the site more which lasted all of what, 3 weeks before resuming total radio silence? Just can't get excited about it anymore.
New Ilvari Model
This is assuming that people who are not good at making their own actually realize that they're no good at making their own. Not as common as you'd think, unfortunately. >_> Yes, I know I'm too picky if I worry about the facial structure of my fellow players' characters, but I'm an artist, I...
State of MMORPGs
I'll agree with pretty much all of this. I started playing Nexus where after a certain low level you had to buy expensive equipment that, if you died, BROKE. And by broke I mean broken, destroyed, gone, turned into ashes. You had to get a new replacement. Eventually all your gear wound up like...
Is this the one with the flash page where if you got through the riddles you got to the forum? A friend and me spent a couple of hours one time solving it, good fun. Shame that after that initial interest there was nothing new to find about the whole thing so I just kinda wandered off and...
City of Heroes/Villains Issue 12 now in closed beta
Just wanted to put this out there in case there are some ex-players who hadn't yet heard. It seems like new issues can often interest people in coming back to the game for a while. The highlights:Romans! Don't know much about this one Villain epic archetypes, where you play an Arachnos...
Fantasy Pan's Labyrinth
I sat down thinking this movie would be a lot more magical than it was, so I think the depressing aspects wound up hitting me twice as hard. Oof. >_> Brilliant movie though, I loved it.
Over population! (Lab)
Legos? :D
