Oh my god f*** CSS with a hot metal stick up its ass.

This reminded me of a friend of mine who when I play Battlefield with him and he dies or something bad happens he always says things like that.

 

Pay-to-play is only a problem is you don't have a job. It's how capitalism works, you get a service you pay for it. I'd much rather pay a subscription for a very good MMO, and ESO is just that even as a beta, than play some never-updated F2P disaster like Guild Wars: "we heard you liked the launch bugs so much we decided to never fix them"

I agree, though the only pay-to-play game I've played was SWTOR, which was so much fun with my brothers, but they wouldn't pay for a subscription, so I stopped playing as well. I also have The Secret World, but that's on the Guild Wars cost model now, rather that being pay to p2p.

ESO looks like it will be great. :D

 

I was with my brother, and we got pulled over right in front of our driveway. The sheriff asked us how we were, said he missed the temp tags but it's okay now because he saw it, asked if we lived here, then said that they've been patrolling more around here because there have been calls about burglaries.

And now I'm going to bed. :laugh:

Kool-I've been fortunate enough to get in on the ESO beta, and while I did sign a non-disclosure contract, I can tell you that it's going to be one of the best MMOs of the last few years, and that the game it's closest to in feel and style is Morrowind, rather than any existing MMO.

 

Woke up to a big relief this morning-that wildfire seems to have died down for the moment. About a hundred-hundred and fifty houses lost, but only one fatality, which is a big relief. It'll probably flare up again when the weather changes on the weekend, but there's going to be a couple of still, cool days and that gives the RFS plenty of time to dig in, fortify, and call for reinforcements. The Salvation Army has also weighed in with a cash appeal-to which I've already donated. They've been in the area giving out food to anyone who needs it-be they a citizen, an RFS member, or an evacuee.

 

EDIT: the person who died didn't die as a result of the fire, but rather, a heart attack. Still sad, but things have been a lot better than what people expected. The last time a fire like this occured, over a hundred and fifty died and several entire towns were lost, so 1/1?? isn't too bad.

Meh, in my opinion its already dug its own grave with the wow like pay wall. they think they could gouge us for all the money in the world, not happening at least with me.

Meh, not even remotely interested in ESO, I hate MMOs.

[BlackRampage]

Well, normally I hate MMO's too, but judging by some of the ingame footage shown around, I might just actually make an exception in this case.

 

Especially after seeing something like this:

Its about time we get increase in speed limit, they are proposing 130km limit here in Ontario, we have the lowest speed limit in the world.

There's a trial in Australia at the moment quite similar to that, they're planning to up the speed limits. As a sports car owner I completely approve, my only concern is that they're also considering some unlimited sections, and I'm less sure about that.

 

See, when you remove the legal speed limit, you default to the other speed limit-what cars are capable of. And that capability has changed radically in the last 5 years. Twenty years ago a high-end sports car would need a steep hill and a tailwind to crack 120 MPH/200 KPH.. Nowadays a 182 MPH/300 KPH top speed is just stock-in trade-almost all sports car can do that, some going past 250 MPH/400 KPH. The world's fastest road car can do in excess of 441 KPH. I don't fancy having that come past me flat-out.

Well I live in the Netherlands, which is right next-door to Germany where many so-called "autobahn" sections don't have any kind of speed limit.

 

I often drive over the autobahn, but it's fairly rare to see any car going in excess of 200 KPH there. Partially because it's often simply too busy and partially probably also because they know it's simply too risky.

 

The real danger over there are people overtaking other cars or trucks with minimal speed difference at the very last moment, so it's not even really doable to drive in excess of 200 KPH.
