I went to twitch to see if people were streaming shroud, the best one had 15 viewers. What made the channel special is he was running DKP for his chat.

Dragon kill points. It's where everyone bets on which member of the wizened early-internet community "the Ultima Dragons" is the next to commit suicide. If you guess right, you get a point.

Did you know: You cannot buy a house in single player offline unless you spend hundreds of dollars of real money The above is true. They removed "lot deeds" from offline single player. You cannot get a house in your offline game unless you buy a lot deed from their real money store to tie to your account.

PC Gamer: Richard Garriott on why "most game designers really just suck"Richard Garriott posted:I think there's really very few great game designers," he continued. "I think Chris Roberts is one of them, Will Wright's another, Peter Molyneux is another. They clearly exist, but on the whole, I think that the design talent in our industry is dramatically lower than we need, as an industry. It's a very hard skill to learn.

I thought this was new and the SOTA community was about to poo poo themselves. Still pretty funny it came out in 2013, after RG made the turd that is U9 and the failure of Tabula Rasa. In other news, I decided to actually try SOTA. So far I don't hate it, but I do wonder why I wouldn't rather dip in to ESO once in a while since it is just as empty and pointless but the UI and graphics are both much better. They both seem to be the same level of time wastey pointlessness, but SOTA is just rough. After 5 hours, the worst part of SOTA is that the NPCs make noises gathered from all of the worst games that my kid plays on the ipad. They sound like Minecraft NPCs crossed with every pay to win farming free app push notifications. Ugh

One thing I have always found funny is that I CONSTANTLY hear sounds from UO in all sorts of movies and TV even now. They must have pulled all those sounds from some really famous free sound pack or something.

The goat and sheep bleat I hear a lot, occasionally the cow mooing, and sometimes even the scorpion chittering sound. What really blew my mind was hearing the skeleton bone rattle when someone rattled pottery recently. I would love to hear someone use that crazy ettin mating call, though.

Buffy used the spell fizzle sound a lot in combat, and the third part of JoJo uses the moving something in a pack sound. I hear a lot of the animal sounds everywhere too, mostly the hind and bear sounds for me

Prerecorded sound libraries are everywhere in media and are pretty standard. Starcraft 1 uses the Howie scream, and many years later, so does Battlefield 1. I'm not sure if it's jarring or if it makes for an amusing memory to hear those familiar sounds time and time again.

There is this rusty/squeaky metal gate opening sound I must have heard in hundreds of movies and games at this point. I'm pretty sure you'll know which one I mean.

Will Wright may have had some lovely things, but he did basically create the sim universe...Have to give him that. Peter Molyneux has fable under his belt, so that's definitely a plus for him on the Original Fable. Garriot hasnt done poo poo well since the early days. I have a handwritten note from him inside my copy of Ultima VI, Only reason I haven't burned it is because it will probably be worth some money some day.

There are two answers to this line of questioning. This game will come out and be amazing. Or, this game, and its creator, is a loving hack. There's a third answer, which is, it's too loving confusing and nobody knows. Except me. I know this game will come out and be amazing.

Theyve raised a hefty $187,057 out of the 2 million they need if im reading the seedinvest page correctly. or wait they need to raise 25 million? not sure what the goal is but its not looking too good. they got 27 more days left. Also: Invest 30k and get the following. $30,000: Golden Castle All of the above Tax Free Player Owned Town Castle Lot Deed Exclusive Golden Airship (See Gallery) Exclusive Golden Castle Walls (See Gallery) Exclusive Golden Clockwork Pet Dragon (See Gallery) Dinner with Lord and Lady British and other Golden Castle owners at their home Britannia Manor in New York City (travel expenses not included)  travel expenses not included.
