    Star Wars: Eclipse

    It would have been nice if the trailer said as much. Even the official website only mentions it once.

    Star Wars: Eclipse

    This game is set during the High Republic era, which is 300 years before Skywalker.

    Blizzard/Activation being hit by the Perfect Storm. Will they survive?

    If Blizzard has rules against harassment, then they should investigate and respond to complaints and punish those players if warranted. Is the woman who complained about "being called a bitch almost every day by strangers" also a WoW streamer or vlogger? That would explain the frequency of...

    Rejoining World of Warcraft after a 14 year hiatus. 2020 is surreal.

    The Shadowlands pre-patch performed a level squish. Level 50 is the old level 120.

    Half Life: Alyx Now Released for VR Systems, Receives Acclaim in Reviews

    If I wanted to play Half-Life: Alyx right now, and not have it be a buggy mess of a game, I'm forced to purchase and use a VR headset, yes?

    Half Life: Alyx Now Released for VR Systems, Receives Acclaim in Reviews

    Maybe that's all I can afford, or maybe I'm just not interested in buying a discrete card. Of course, Alyx requires a GTX 1060 or RX 580 at a minimum, so going the integrated graphics route would likely preclude me from ever playing it, VR or not. I never felt they were anything more than...

    Half Life: Alyx Now Released for VR Systems, Receives Acclaim in Reviews

    I care about the game, just not how I'm currently forced to play it. Besides, how I choose to experience the game has no effect on you whatsoever.

    I'm only interested in the story elements. I couldn't care less about "atmosphere".

    Maybe when the mod is working 100% or close enough.

    Explicit Samuel L. Jackson coming to Amazon Alexa

    World of Warcraft Classic

    I think you're still wording it wrong. A re-creation of a game as it was almost 15 years ago does not have as much of anything as that same game that's been through 7 expansions.

    WoW Classic 8/27. Beta is May 22–Thurs May 23

    Perhaps as part of the phases they could fix some of the bugs, as if they really were working on a 1.13 patch and not Burning Crusade. I don't think that kind of thing would detract from the recreation of the vanilla experience.

    The best gaming mouse EVER is back

    I received my MX518 last week, and tried it out over the weekend. Compared to the G400 that I had been using, the left and right buttons were much louder, and the scroll wheel "ticks" as it spun were much less distinct. Clicking down on the scroll wheel felt "mushy" as well. These issues were...

    Destiny 2

    So I finished the campaign and did a couple of Strikes this weekend, but I'm still at around 250 item level. Not sure what the gear I'd get from the purple quests I have, but the only heroic quest I see has a recommended level of 320. Not sure of the best way to make that jump. More Strikes...

    Destiny 2

    I think Leviathan is the one raid people with free copies can do, so I'm interested in giving it a shot sometime. I assume you have to finish the campaign and get up to a certain item level to do it?

    Dang, that's pretty sweet. I'm looking forward to checking this out tonight. Thanks!

    Destiny 2

    I guess I haven't looked at the Collections menu before. So I can just dismantle my current Sunshot and acquire a new one from Collections that will be more powerful than the original thanks to my item level? Is there any cost (Glimmer, Shards, etc.) to doing that?

    Destiny 2

    I'm really liking this exotic pistol I have that causes the enemies it kills to explode, but it's getting to be about 100 points below the equipment I get from quests and events. As someone who hasn't paid for Forsaken, am I going to be able to acquire the materials I need to infuse the weapon...

    WoW; 7th expansion Battle for Azeroth

    I didn't even think of this before. 3 armor slots that used to provide large amounts of secondary stats now give us none, and I'm guessing that the other pieces' budgets haven't been adjusted to compensate.

    WoW; 7th expansion Battle for Azeroth

    Even though it's been ~11 years, your characters should still be there if you renew your subscription. You've only got 10 days to get them ready for BfA, though!

    NES Classic (2018) does not seem to have a preorder. Acquisition Suggestions?

    According to a guy in line at Target this morning, each store should have 10. However, it seemed like there were only 2 extra controllers per store.

    8 Things Anita Sarkeesian Wants To Change About Video Games

    "... I would love to play video games, but I don't want to go around shooting people and ripping off their heads." Did she not know that there are plenty of other video games where you don't do these things, or did she know and just not want to acknowledge them, because they didn't fit in...

    8 Things Anita Sarkeesian Wants To Change About Video Games

    She didn't say "AAA titles" or "shooters" though, she said "video games". There are plenty of video games out there that don't involve shooting people and ripping off their heads, which she finds so gross. And it's possible that she was just being hyperbolic, and doesn't actually think that...

    WoW; 5th expansion Warlords of Draenor

    My item level is still 606 (601 equipped), so no heroics for me yet. Hopefully I'll be able to reach 610 soon, cuz I want to get to 615 to do MC before it's gone.

    WoW; 5th expansion Warlords of Draenor

    Well, I currently only have 1 level 100 follower. I think one other is at 99, and I'm trying to get Ziri'ak from my Smuggler's Den, who starts at 99. I don't really get many missions for resources; the vast majority are bonus XP or money. Guess I just need a little more patience.

    WoW; 5th expansion Warlords of Draenor

    I'm about 400 resources away from being able to upgrade my garrison to level 3. Would it be quicker to spend some of what I have to upgrade my tavern to recruit the scavenger and get resources that way, or just keep trying to find treasures and rares?

    Official [H] Star Wars:The Old Republic Thread

    No problem. My main is my best geared character by far, and I think was the only one who had done the "Forged Alliances" quests before the expansion came out, so I was pleasantly surprised to get the gear when I completed the Korriban Incursion (Republic) on the first alt I started leveling.

    Official [H] Star Wars:The Old Republic Thread

    And I'm saying that the gear that you get through the combination of "Shadow of Revan: Prelude" and the "Forged Alliances" Solo Mode FPs is better than what you'll get on Oricon, and you'll get more XP as well. I bet that even if you hadn't upgraded any gear since Hoth, the GSI robot would get...

    GTA 5's Misogyny Must Be Addressed By Its Creators

    Sarcasm. SJWs can be male or female. This does not demonstrate misogyny. Sexually exploited women in a video game. Where's his concern for actual prostitutes? If he's demanding equality, then shouldn't he be advocating that women be killed more often, to match the frequency with which men...

    Official [H] Star Wars:The Old Republic Thread

    If your custom gear is better than the quest reward gear, then you're doing just fine. Just keep upgrading pieces when you feel like you should. If you get the "Shadow of Revan: Prelude" quest when you hit 55, you'll get the option to complete the 4 Forged Alliances tactical FPs in Solo Mode...

    Official [H] Star Wars:The Old Republic Thread

    I haven't done a sub-55 quest since the expansion came out, but from what I remember, you got a choice of comms, a chest, or some piece of gear for completing each step in the story quest. If you do the planetary quest line, and other random non-heroics, you'll probably end up doing just fine...

    Official [H] Star Wars:The Old Republic Thread

    You won't "need" Diplomacy really until you get to max level and want to create the rare and artifact stims and whatnot. By then you'll probably have found dozens of Concealed Coffers on Rishi and Yavin 4, and combined with not having to spend credits on new skills anymore, you'll probably have...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser

    Well, to be honest, I'm guessing that the crossguard was added here because it looks neat, not that it has a practical application. It could also represent the inexperience of the person wielding it. Look at the beams themselves; it's almost as if they're like welding torches. This saber...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser

    I think he means that someone else's lightsaber could go through the hilt. There are, however, lightsaber-resistant metals, which the hilt and crossguard could be made out of. I thought there was at least one instance in Episodes 1-3 where some people were using cortosis staves, which can...

    Apple WWDC14 Streaming Live

    Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. Does the fact that my upgrade from 8 to 8.1 went off without a hitch balance out the problems you had? Anyway, Windows 8.1 already has a higher market share than Windows 8, and 50% more market share than Mavericks. In fact, Windows 8.1 alone has only about 1%...

    If Windows 8 was a free upgrade like Mavericks is, no doubt the adoption rate would be higher. Probably not 51%, but somewhere north of 25.

    Apple WWDC14 Streaming Live

    That's because "switching" from Mountain Lion to Mavericks is like "switching" from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.

    Apple WWDC14 Streaming Live

    This doesn't make any sense. Mavericks, like Mountain Lion, Lion, Snow Leopard, etc. before it, is OS X. Mavericks is simply OS X version 10.9. Windows 8 is not just a newer version of Windows 7.
