In that case, you will be happy to know that I am working on building my own addon engine for Unreal Engine 4 (think similar to how Physics engines used to work before it became a mid to high-end graphics cards feature). I'm calling it a bio-kinetic engine. It basically assigns a basic set of...

Does it honestly matter for a remastering? Sure they are going to port the game to a more modern framework and enhancing the graphics, but otherwise it isn't really that big of a project, and they don't have much (if any) need for a creative team. Whomever does end up in charge of the...

I am not going to lie and say that they are good movies as a rule. Sure there may have been a gem or two in there, but otherwise they are a perfectly normal set of Summer/Winter blockbusters in my opinion. The average movie that hits my Theater I have absolutely zero interest in watching (and...

It really depends on your meaning. Do you mean what makes me like a game, or do you mean what would impress me in a game that I either like or at least like enough to keep playing? Since I don't know, I will just answer both. What makes me like a game: The main thing that draws me into a...

Honestly I would be happy if they just fixed the bugs, updated the graphics, and added in a few hidden Easter eggs. I don't need it to be a brand new game, or have new quest lines and a branching story with a new ending. All I really want is for the game to get the graphical update it needs to...

Well it really depends on the type of class you wanted to teach. I think their needs to be two lines of development classes: 1: First line is dedicated to making a video game, but not just any video game, your video game. This is the line that promotes you gaining the knowledge and experience...

Honestly I enjoyed it. Sure I didn't like it nearly as much as I have other Marvel Netflix releases, but as a martial arts practitioner and enthusiast I really appreciated the choreography. This was one of the first shows that I've seen in recent years that actually told a story through the...

I am going to say that it is directly proportional to both your looks and what you are looking for out of a date. The largest issue most people face is finding the correct site to put their profile on for online dating, but a few google searches gets that one cleared up pretty easily. The next...

I voted other, but I should explain that a bit more. I really prefer buttons for traditional gaming (and KB/Mouse for PC games requiring accuracy), but their are certain games, genres, apps, features, and etc that are either marginally or majorly better when they use other forms of interfaces...

Yet another of the issues with high magic worlds. When magic items are dropping like a hot pan picked up with a bare hand, it isn't hard to come by gold. Especially when you have players that work in business acquisitions and liquidation in the group. Though honestly I see this as more of an...

I'm very aware of that. I only stated the damage variance as the reasoning most people give when I ask them why they think that melee classes are more powerful than casters. As far as I'm concerned... well you saw some of my suggestions and comments in the previous post as well as me saying...

Really it is dependent on world and DM. Most of the DMs I can find around here are all into high magic worlds and all the players typically have magical weapons, armor, and trinkets by level 7-12 (note: this is not how I like to run my campaigns, but that has more to do with the fact that it...

As a note, I have not played 4th or 5th edition, but I started with Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (about 1 year), played AD&D 2nd Edition (about 9 years), 3E to 3.5E (around 10 years), and many other games/systems (including some proprietary ones that never made it to publication and some of my...

Even with this tactic, I think something is lost in the translation. If I wanted to play with miniatures, I would just play Star Wars Fleet Command or Warhammer 40k. I have always found that my imagination is going to far outpace anyone's drawing skills (or even pre-printed map sheets from a...

99% of the popular open world games to come out in the last 10 years. I can only think of two open world titles I actually enjoyed playing and didn't feel like I was playing the same filler over and over again for dozens to hundreds of hours.
