    Great.

    Here I thought they'd actually make the game native.

    Prepare for memory leaks and assertion failures!

    This pushes me closer to the conclusion that this game is going to end up being softcore porn.

    Except the catch is that the Asura are a bunch of self-righteous assheads.

    Don't think too hard about what you're about to read, or blood will shoot out your nose:

    The left one is male.

    In semi-related news, SWTOR is slated to go F2P in the next month or so.

    All I have to say is "that was fast."

    As far as models go, yes. But some of the textures they pack away for the female armor... well, let's just say it'd probably be better off not doing a google search for them.

    Looking at you, SWTOR.

    We love you guys. Go out, have fun, grab a steak and a beer and a sundae. You guys relax; we've got the battlefield covered.

  10. What about expressing my distaste in a civil manner? Because I've been trying to do that.

    I'm pretty sure that's an industry production secret somewhere.

    The more I see of this new game the more I'm convinced it's softcore porn.

    Which is actually pretty painful. It's like they cut us open and then offered us this as a band-aid.

    A band-aid made of salt.
  16. Look at that woman's head in the second picture.

    Look at it.

    Look at it.

    I know as much (if not more) than you on that subject, so I know it's not guess work. It's painful to watch nonetheless.
  18. Bump it up to $2000 so we can also buy them drinks & dessert and a cigar!

    The more I think about it, the more that statement flies through my head.

    "And now the truth comes out."
  20. Alright, I know this is one of those CoH Forum Memes, but I am going to say with all of my inborn honesty that this is a slap in the face. I'm not joking whatsoever.

    First, NC kills my MMO with no explanation. Then, we find out that they shot themselves in the foot with their terrible, homogeneous, grindy MMO's and funding a brand new one, and decided to axe an American MMO to make up for it. Then they fail to deliver any sort of update on our game services, while Paragon does their best to keep us in the loop. NOW I find out they're porting this Aion clone over to America not even two weeks after putting the knife into City of Heroes? One of the MMO's, I might add, that's responsible for their huge losses last quarter?

    I don't care how overused it is on these forums or how much hyperbole comes with it. This is a slap in the face.
  21. Soon as I get paid tomorrow I'll pitch in. Paragon has made my evenings enjoyable, so why not give back?

    Interesting article. Do you know how it was that you were chosen by MSNBC?
    I can't disclose that; not because I don't know, but out of respect for the people I interacted with. I'll just say that I got very lucky and was seen by the right people, and my passion for the game made me their top choice for interviewee.
  23. No kidding? Your link 404'd for me and mine works fine. Did we cross tubes here?

    Edited OP just in case.
