ahh, but i never said it was consensual either...

its like having chocolate force-fed to you, you arent consenting, but who doesnt like chocolate?

Ok, I offically hate EVE again. Glad I only did another trial. Back to SINS.

I liked it but was tired of losing things b/c of mapserver glitch or the mission requried me to park next to a radioactive thingy which in turned destroyed me. I was taking 2 steps forward then 8 back. Anyhow, back to SINS. Like SINS isnt a massive time sink either

Time sink isnt a bad thing IMHO, just as long Im overall enjoying myself. Im not a fan on Subscriptions but Ive paid for City of Heros; it was worth my $15 a month, till I got stalled and bored. Also tried Warhammer Online, but didnt keep that active long for job related issues.

Anyhow, back to something I enjoy...18 hours SINS games.

The time sink is only an issue when I log off and realize I have so much to do and already nose to nose with the deadline. As for the monthly payment, the issue is that inevitable boredom. There are so many games that I pay for once and get equally bored with. Why pay more than I have to only to get bored in about the same time? Hell, I still play Medieval II, but not Diablo II. Only one of those has even a chance of charging me month to month.

I can't help but think two things. One: Be like Han? Screw that! Vader just blocked the blaster shots with his hand before laying down some aristocratic whoop-ass. Be like VADER! Two: Did he really identify his target, or did he just catch a glimpse and thought, 'crap, there's a black guy in here!'? And I know what you're thinking: Lando is black, Chewy is... might be black... well, his nose is. But chewy has all that light colored hair and Lando... well, let's face it, he's pretty Uncle Tom.

You be the judge.

I was just responding to the link. Don't much care seeing that I'm not a Star Wars fan nor plan to play any ongoing RPG anytime soon.

Recently did some poking around. Remember that argument about artillery? I found both details on a scramjet artillery shell that can go over 500 miles, AND chat it up with a guy who worked Navy R&D, saying that new techs combined with old methods are actually just as efficient and more cost effective than what we use nowadays. He said that the higher ups have this weird obsession with everything being new and shiny. Sad, really. This guys says one of the new shells could be fired from an old Iowa class and hit a small window without a question of accuracy.

bla bla bla bla i am a military expert because i saw some propaganda from arms manufacturers bla bla bla

Artillery is a vastly important strategic tool. Unfortunately the United States currently has little use for it as Artillery historically results in collateral damage, and since the majority of the fighting is in urban environments...well.

Now on to the SWTOR talk. I don't think I'm going to play it. They pretty much ruined it for me the moment they stated that Smugglers had to be on the good side and bounty hunters had to side with the Sith. That is the stupidest thing they have done.

Another MMORPG that disappointed me was Star Trek Online, originally you were going to be a single person on a ship with tons of other players, all taking key positions on the bridge, in the engine room, science lab, or med bay. But now everyone starts as a captain, with their own ship.

I'm not a big fan of MMORPGs I've played WoW, got to lvl 9 before I was bored and went back to Total War. Played Warhammer, got to Lvl 5 before I was bored and went back to Europa Universallis 3. I then Played EVE before I got bored and went back to Borderlands. I finally played Age of Conan, got to lvl 10 and then went back to Galactic Civ 2.

In fact the only MMO I've liked so far has been Fallen Earth, it reminds me a lot of Fallout. Also I liked Fonline but that's not actually an MMO...or is it? 

no thanks

me personally I've never been big in MMORPGs myself so I have never really played them, but I must admit that SWTOR does strike my interest and so will attempt it. As to the whole Smuggler good guy, Bounty Hunter bad guy issue, the website brings out that you start there but you don't have to stay there. If you wish you can be a bad guy smuggler or a good guy bounty hunter.

I'm not against MMORPGs, but I tend to get bored or don't want to pay for that inevitable boredom. I did Guild Wars for a bit and that was okay, but the story was a letdown and it boiled down to two classes. Diablo II was always good to me, but once I beat the whole thing with three different classes, it slowed down (although I have to admit, it lasted amazingly long for most games). Not a Star Wars fan and after Warcraft III pissed me off, I wasn't going to give WoW a hairball of a chance.

But I feel little loss. Not only do I have two major projects going on, but I also have a job and, until recently, had to make time for girlfriend. So not having a time sink to pull me away is good. Medieval II and Fallout 3 can draw me in easily, so I have to keep a clock nearby when I play. Scary, huh?

it is not scary it's rather normal
