Eh, when I was like 10-14 and playing UO, EQ, and Asheron's Call (which is a better game than any MMO on the market as far as I can tell)... I always hoped the genre would kind of evolve into being really neat.

Stuff like the way "guilds", monarchies, worked in Asheron's Call. You swore allegiance to a patron, and as his vassal some of your XP went to him, but they would teach you the game and give you stuff. And their patron's patron is the monarch. It was much more interesting than modern MMO guilds and DKP.

Now that I'm older I realize something: Massively Multiplayer means you're going to have too many toxic wastes of life playing to really do anything cool. Unless you call pissing people off for no reason cool -- though I'm not 14 anymore.

That and the worn out holy trinity style of combat mechanics plus reality of netcode and MMO combat limitations.

The only thing good about MMOs is that their player base literally dies from them.

the cool thing about them is that some are good and some are bad but all of them make idiot nerds angry. that is the true art of indie art games.

Okay, so Rock Band 2 apparently has 84 on-disc songs. Only 21 are available to begin. I enter the "unlock all songs" code, it says accepted... and there's still only 21 songs.
Do I HAVE to play though and unlock the remaining 63 songs manually? Why isn't the unlock code working?

It had a nice atmosphere and captured the eerie feeling of being in an unfamiliar place really well. I'd agree that it costs too much, but it's worth grabbing in a sale or a bundle.

Yeah I think this makes like 50 bucks someone has spent buying this exact same AV for several people over the last while.

For that money you could buy several copies of Shovel Knight smh

I think if I had all the money people had spent on avatars for me over the years, I could get myself a new 3DS.
