I'm sure you do.

I follow Krystalle, Kyle and the dearly departed Zonk.

Twitter isn't so bad, people! Once I got my Tweetdeck set up and found all the appropriate contacts, it's become my favorite news/link gathering tool.

For a generation of people that mocks their parents for not jumping on the computer bandwagon, we sure shirk the newest trends with remarkable ease...

I've gone so far as to write for a certain fairly prominent MMO blog in the Joystiq network (wink wink) and I've had no problem going back to single player affairs. The only exception is JRPGs, which I seem to have lost the taste for with age.

One and done, for sure.

I think betas are more fun for the same reason that fresh servers are more fun. Things just feel different when you know you're among the first people in a community to do or experience something.

Jumpgate, just because I heart the guys at NetDevil so much.

Can Champions count as a sci-fi MMO too? There's... ya know, technology and whatnot.

That seems well within the rules of the game. Do you penalize a football team because they took a knee at the end of the game?

I think the IB changes are nonsense. Slowing the rate at which IBs gain grudge and increasing the quickness with which it dissipates is really nothing more than a damage reduction to abilities like Heavy Blow, Inspiring Attack, and Binding Grudge.

I honestly just don't see the point. They've in essence created a tank that excels at being attacked, and then give the enemy no reason whatsoever to attack him. Why on earth would you hit an IB when it just makes him stronger? Even clothies can ignore that pithy white damage.

At least pre-nerf, they were able to do enough damage over time to come in around the middle in DPS and contribution. I can't fathom how an Ironbreaker is supposed to get contribution in a keep siege now.

I'm just grateful that they have a good bullshit filter. I would be sad if my Ironbreaker actually got nerfed like all the idiots on the forums want.

Do they not have textures in that period?
