Off Topic / To Naga Mouse or Not to Naga Mouse.. that is the question
« on: November 24, 2011, 12:23:10 am »
title says it all.. with the release of SWTOR looming I am finding myself disliking my current mouse setup.. and.. we get these "points" at work that can be used towards certain merchandise like longhorns giftcards and dvd's and such.. One of the options that I can get is the wireless Razer Naga mouse..

I need opinions as we have a lot of gamers here I figure at least one or two of you might have one.. what do you think? since it is technically free to me is it good.. I dont want to burn all my points for a product that is going to not work in a year when the warranty is up..

Off Topic / Diablo 3 and Blizzard

When you create a game that lets people trade items and you make some items both very rare and very valuable, you create the demand for a black market. Blizzard has decided to bring cash transactions into Diablo 3; the company has announced the addition of auction houses to the game. You can buy items for gold in one house, and straight-up cash in another. Each region will have a single marketplace, to make sure no currency or exchange issues rear their heads.

"What we've found is that no one's actually done this before," Rob Pardo, Vice President of Game Design, told Joystiq."So it has been a long road to getting to where we are today, where we can actually announce we're doing this."

After you sell an item, you can either remove the money from the game and use it in the real world using an as-yet-unannounced third-party company, or keep it in the game to use on other auctions, Blizzard games, subscription fees, or Blizzard merchandise. While Blizzard won't be selling items directly to increase revenue, Pardo did say that cosmetic items may be sold on the market.

Blizzard is being smart with the revenue coming in from this system: players will be charged a flat fee to list an item, and if it sells there will be another flat fee paid to Blizzard. The company won't make more profit on a more expensive item, and the "nominal" fee will dissuade players from simply dumping everything they find on the auction block. Since drops are random and only players can sell to other players, the economy is still self-contained.

"There are some people out there that don't have the ability to put a time investment into the game, so they do want to use real-world money to kind of advance their character," Pardo told Joystiq. "And the other side of it is that there are people who have a lot of time and don't benefit from it, because they'll be able to generate items, and get better items or cash it out."

Many of the moves here make sense, and Blizzard is creating the market in such a way that it will only minimally impact the game's world. Well, it should only minimally impact the game's world, but we're have to wait until the masses descend upon Diablo 3 to find out how the community will respond.


im not sure if this is AWESOME or a realllllly bad idea...

Thoughts?

Off Topic / Dragon-Con Atlanta Sept 2-5
« on: April 13, 2011, 12:07:04 am »
So.. im am freakin excited about Dragon-Con this year.. there are going to be some AWESOME people attending this year..
http://dragoncon.org/index.php
guest list here
http://dragoncon.org/dc_guests_list.php

All the girls from The Guild are going to be there.. The Ferig will be there.. and some other celebs.. last year Bill Murray just randomly showed up.. he wasnt on the guest list at all and just started walking around the Con..

A friend of mine is the "assistant" for Garrett Wang (Ensign Kim on Voyager) and he is in charge of all the Trek people at Con.. he said he is trying to get Patrick Stewart to come.. so far he is Shatner, Nemoy, Mulgrew attending..

Also.. last year meeting Stan Lee was pretty awesome.

ANYWAYS..
what I was going to say was, if anyone in FA wanted to make plans to come to this thing I can probably put one or two of you up for the weekend at my house.. more if you dont mind bedding on the floor... I figured I would bring this up NOW so you can make plans and such..

Non-VR Games / SWTOR BOOKS?
« on: April 06, 2011, 01:19:10 pm »
Has anyone other than myself read these? they are actually pretty well written and I think will help us have a great advantage with RP when the game starts..

« on: November 16, 2010, 04:45:21 pm »
wow.. just crazy..
Sorry guys, it has been a crazy last few months. The holidays is crazy busy at my job and I have been transferred TWICE in the last few months. I dont think it will slow down much until after Christmas but will try to be more active now that the transferring should be over.

Also, what games is everyone biding their time with until SWTOR?

I have been absent from the recent fervor of development due to the discovery of a baseball sized tumor on my father's left kidney. They just did surgery Wednesday and removed the whole kidney. Today is the first day I have been in front of a computer since last Sunday because of staying at the hospital. I will be on TS Tuesday. Can't wait to be back.
