Is that Gygax on the front page? I'd label him a wacko before a douchebag.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

It's his fault MMORPGs are like this. He is, indeed, a douchebag. |

It's his fault MMORPGs are like this. He is, indeed, a douchebag. If you say so. I stopped paying much attention to him after he moved to that cabin in the woods to write Mythos, Dangerous Journeys, or whatever it was called. If true, though, then I agree. You can explain it to me if you like. That doesn't get The Vision and the EQ copycats off the hook, though. |

That doesn't get The Vision and the EQ copycats off the hook, though. No, it doesn't. But we had to pick one MMORPG guy because the frontpage couldn't be crawling with that sorta shit for a whole week. So we picked Marc Jacobs. He doesn't realize that Romans in Space is going to be a superbly crafted train wreck, which is cool and all - I mean it's hard seeing sinking ships from way up top an ivory tower. Those things are tall. And the Warhammer news this week just makes his appearance on the frontpage THAT MUCH BETTER. |

Holy h8 batman. Take it down a notch, I don't think QT was involved ;)
If any of our intrepid cub reporters can corner a SOE dev long enough to glean any details of this 'new planetsidey mmo', you'll make me very, very happy. But do it anyway, please....

We'll probably have more luck after E3, but I'll see what I can do. |

Isn't Imperator just Renegade Legion though? It already did "Romans in Space because even in the mid 80s we couldn't afford the Star Wars liscense" deal.

Just had a thought: For those of us who generally avoid pictures of gamers and game makers in order to protect the remnants of our sanity, could someone post a link to each of the front page pics with the person's name, and perhaps a brief description of their crime? I only recognize about half the faces in rotation.

If you're in the same category as me, I wouldn't worry too much about not feeling "special". But to answer your question, probably because I think dying from heroin would be much more preferable than dying from cigarettes. |

No, I was 18 when that was taken, oh, 3 years ago for my school ID. EDIT: Keep in mind that besides Nix, I'm probably one of the youngest people here (at 21.5 yo). I only look slightly older now because I can maintain some modicum of facial hair. Maybe when I get done graduate school I'll actually start to look like I belong in a college classroom.

Should I be concerned that Schild apparently has access to the Ark of the Covenant and keeps opening it?

It's a female praying mantis. In the summer the fields are full of 'em. They're so cool and alien-looking. You can also buy mantid egg sacs to release in your garden (They're awesome at controlling pest insects).
