I really am excited for healing to be difficult again. Even on Hard modes in ICC, I can afk my way through at least 3 boss fights.
EVERYONE can AFK for lootship. I'm pretty sure I can just leave that to Saurfang and he'll handle it.
Also: Yea I figure they'll update the textures soon enough, I just look dumb as hell with my stupid orc standing next to garrosh/thrall.

I can't think of any other instance in gaming history where a company denied players the ability to play their game because they used third party hacks or mods in single player, doing absolutely no harm to other players.
Not only is this untrue, it's unrealistic to think they wouldn't enforce this if that had the means to, and Blizzard has the means to.
Anyway, a slew of XBL and Steam games come to mind.
And every MMO ever. Using 3rd party programs to hack WoW, even if it's just walking through a wall that no one ever sees, will get you banned. At the point where you're using external methods to manipulate the software to do something, anything, it wasn't intended to do by its developers (in this case specifically intended to NOT do) you should realize this might not be OK.
You can't have your cake and eat it to. You can fuck with it, sure but don't expect everyone to sit back and let it happen, and don't get upset when you were doing something that was pretty obviously wrong to begin with just because you thought it MIGHT not be wrong.
Ignorance is not a defense.
Besides, nothings stopping them from going and cracking the game now. It's not like someone bricked their computer or uninstalled SC2, and it's not like they were playing totally legitimately before hand. Crack it, play by yourself and use all the trainers you want. Blizzard just removed the social experience.

The Cataclysm pre-part is split into 3 parts. First one is this week with the class and talent overhauls, along with starting the pre-shattering event. Patch 0.2 continues the event, and finally with 0.3 we get the post-Cataclysm old world along with the new class/race combos. The expansion itself will give us goblins/worgen and the 80+ areas.
So, WotLK in retrospect has been pretty disappointing overall for me. The one positive thing I can think of is that raiding was made more accessible and I got into it more than before, but ultimately hardcore raiding has never been appealing for me and I've always been more of a PvP guy. None of the WotLK raids were as fun as Karazhan from BC either. They continued with the focus on arena as "real" PvP which I absolutely do not play MMO PvP for, the 2 new battlegrounds were centered around the new vehicle gimmick which was sort of meh. Wintergrasp was alright. Alterac Valley was gimped even further and has become really sad, it's PvP in name only as the two sides rush past eachother to try and kill the PvE boss.
Also the promised new character customization. I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, and of naturally they had to underdeliver in that territory too. The new haircuts turned out to be half-arsed copypastas from other races that often just look really out of place, far from the type of polish you'd normally expect from Blizzard, and the new dance moves highlighted in the trailer were never implemented at all.
To me, really, Wrath felt like a Cataclysm test drive. The changes they made to questing (having more comprehensive storylines, phasing) and raiding (every raid being 10/25 man. Hardmodes. Heroic/Raid progression. Badges.) really improved the game a lot for me. I do agree that a lot of the content in TBC was more fun, though.
All this stuff gets totally fleshed out on the Cataclysm beta. Every quest line I've experienced has been nothing short of stellar. The phasing is used effectively (when it works
). The raids dropping the same gear in different quantities. The return to the gameplay NOT being AE mash/afk. Healing becoming more interesting. Hopeful revival of BGs as more people cry that arenas are being "phased out" (which is hardly true).I'm just excited at the prospects. More than anything though, I'm excited that there's still a lot of stuff in the old world to be fleshed out even now (Ravenholdt comes to mind.)
I also hate how high the texture resolution is on goblins/worgens/thrall when compared to every other race...looks very odd/

You might have a point if your achievement score had anything to do with the matchmaking process online. It doesn't though. In fact the only thing cheating in the single player would do is boost your achievement score, but if it doesn't harm matchmaking or your opponent then who cares? Sure, ban anyone hacking online, but in single player? Give me a break Blizzard. If someone wants to use hacks against the computer opponents then let them. They aren't hurting anyone by doing so.
If they want to cheat against an AI for single player, let them. Blizzard put cheat codes in for that, it just disables your ability to get achievements. They want to cheat AND get achievements, and Blizzard wants to protect the integrity of their achievements.
I'm pretty sure that goes for just about every other game that has achievements right now. I would think VERY FEW allow actual hacking/cheating to get without threat of retribution. Why would this be any different?
-
okay this is where achievement shit steps over the line
I don't care for achievements in the first place since they always feel like artificial methods of adding meaning to games, but banning players to protect those achievements is asinine.
The real question is: Why not just use the built in cheat codes? Why use the trainers at all if not to get the achievements? Which then obviously takes the achievement out of the achievements all together.
I mean, it's not like StarCraft 2 doesn't already have an easy mode, cheat codes, AND a map editor is you really want to mess with the game, but you also have to go and use a trainer because you just HAVE to?
This is a kind of cry baby article imho.

You know... If you don't like it, you can, I don't know...
...not read the thread? Read another thread? If we didn't want to go back and forth, we wouldn't post. Maybe you should stop worrying about us, perhaps?
It wasn't for me. It was for you. At the point where you are picking apart huge paragraphs and responding with 30 quotes and your own huge paragraphs, there's more time to be wasted than knowledge to be gained, BUT it's your time.
-
And why, exactly, is that? Because you don't have anything to add to the discussion? At least 3 people in this thread are having civilized, meaningful debate here. But, you're right. You don't think we should be discussing this, so I guess we should stop.
...O WAI--
No, because it's gotten to the point where 3 people go
Bad. Why.
Good. Why.
Bad. Why.
Good. Why.
And I'm PRETTY sure there's going to be very little consensus at this point. Just wasting time on the internet.
...O WAI--
-
tl;dr
It is at this point that I advise everyone to stop responding, even in a comical sense, as there is nothing more for anyone to get out of this post.
-
And I won't be going. Oh well.
Stevo told me I couldn't, and since he was the one I originally promised...
Being homeless and all, this was probably a step in the right direction.

Look, guys.
Modern rap serves it's purpose. A very noble purpose, at that. When I'm out, grinding on some girl, I need something with a LOT of bass, because bass is holding the rhythm to the song, and if I'm as drunk as I should be then I'm gonna need all the help I can get.. I need something that's repetitive as SHIT, because what that girl is fucking swinging her hips, I'm pretty out of shape, and it's hurting my legs enough just to keep up with her between songs, if every song was constantly changing I'd just about die. I need something that's telling me about fornicating, getting drunk, possibly even getting crunk, because damnit I'm half-way to drunk town and I'm feeling good. I want something that's going to talk about making love to a girl in an aggressive manner, ie "like a slut/hoe", because that kind of thing is enjoyable from time to time, for both parties. It's not that I think she's truly promiscuous, but it's often fun for both partners to act as if they are. I ESPECIALLY need something that drops a good few F-bombs, because that shit gets me HYPE as FUCK. (but not so many that it loses novelty...unless it's for a novel purpose. See: Cee-Lo)
If I go to a club this weekend, and I can hear deep lyrical content, and have a complex, detailed song, I'm going to be pissed. I don't want to hear your deep lyrics. I don't want to hear a damn thing over the bass and hats unless it's a orchestra hit or a fucking FUCK.
When I come home, I'll listen to Aesop Rock or Blackalicious or Atmosphere or OutKast something I care about, but damnit when I'm out all I want to fucking hear his Lil' Jon, Trick Daddy, Three 6 Mafia, Lady Gaga, and MAYBE some Journey at the very end of the night when my knees are already swollen.
Definitely not Drake though, I can't take that guy seriously after watching Degrassi for so long.

Enter Belen, NM. Population roughly around 6,000+, home town of Suzumebachi, and no one has high-speed internet. Maybe some downtown areas, schools, libraries, but getting a high-speed internet line out to your house is harder than finding a hot girlfriend who plays WoW, (cha-ching).
That said:
. No one.It's hard to imagine that this kind of thing still exists in the continental US, but it's not really that rare. Now Qwest apparently is working on this, but has been for awhile. It's speeding up now because of the stimulus package dedicating a good chunk of money to it BUT case in point: These poor people can't even get this content when they DO buy the game new D:
(Note: This did not stop Suzums brother from getting one of the most painstakingly long achievements in World of Warcraft...but that kid really has no life)

I wish I would've figured out what I wanted to do before right now. Still gonna try, but I fricken hate how bad i am at this stuff.

This is...a pretty terrible idea.
Really it seems like something that would be AWESOME if it weren't a DMC, but...Dante was a pretty solid character by himself. This new Dante.....screams of a generation of vampire loving children that makes me sad that I'm getting so old video game studios don't even target me anymore...

but
WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!?
Do I go with "It's so bright, so vivid" or "It's a secret to everyone".
Decisions...

By that I mean, I owned one for a short period of time in 2000, and have not had one since.

The problem with Rumble Roses isn't the boobs, it's the fact that it's a wrestling game made by Japanese people when American Devs pretty much already dominate that market.
ANYWAY I bought my PS3 just after they discontinued PS2 backwards compatibility. I still have not owned a PS2 since 2000...

I think the main "issue" that players have with a fatigue system is that it gives the perception that you're being punished for playing whenever you want.
North America is a very customer-service oriented culture, and there's a perception that if I'm playing a $15 monthly fee for a game, then I better be able to play it whenever I want without being punished for it.
They could have, instead, gone the inverse and gave a bonus to people who come back after not playing for a while.
WoW had this in the beta initially and decided to NOT do it for that exact reason. Player base felt like they were punished for playing.
Rest XP was originally the opposite to where the more you played the less you got until it hit "exhausted."

yo Rama, eiffel tower?
also, that mashup is awesome
And incase anyone was wondering that mash-up loops near seamlessly.

I can not stop listening to this song now.

Seriously though, I want to touch her junk.
GeckoYamori gets famous (or: how the genesis is still hated by some Nintendo fanboys)
in General Discussion
Posted
When I was a little kid, I had everythingggg Nintendo made, but I always wanted a Sega Genesis. My cousin had one, I'd see them in the stores all the time, I was in LOVE with Sonic, but it wasn't until Genesis was on it's way out that my dad bought up the whole Sega Voltron (Sega CD, Genesis, 32X). I loved it. All of it. From Sonic to Sewer Sharks.
Fast forward 10 years later. My modded XBOX has 320GBs of space, and I want to drop a full Genesis romset on there and see what other Genesis games were like... not a fan. Not a fan at all. The mainstream Sonics, Phantasy Stars, all love, but evertyhing else well...I realize why it never got good.
This is not to say that NES and SNES had it's bad games but...it felt like when things on Genesis were done badly, they were very bad. The harshness of the sound chip was REALLY badly implemented by some...and it just hurt.
Gecko is a great example of Genesis music done right x1000 though.
