Than the Moa

WORD.It was the most fun, and it had member involvement through voting on who they wanted kicked off each week. It was great!

Chaos in the Deep was nothing compared to Staff Survivor.That will always live on as the real staff rpg.

Suffice to say I think that's up there.

He's alive, spends most of his time working and going to Twins games from what i know.

Forget tuggles, it was all about the plushies.

Hey guys, once the question has been answered, don't keep repeating the answer, once is enough, especially after the member asking the question already acknowledged the answer.Questioned answered, topic closed.

Thanks for the clarification Pohu, it's a big help.Well, that should be enough info to answer the question, so we'll lock this topic up.

I do, though I'm basically the worst minecrafter ever.

Basically all of them.

Well, with that said.Topic closed.

Watch the double posting guys, I've merged three separate instances of double posts. Just as a reminder, we do not allow you to post in a topic again until someone else has. If no one else does so for an extended time then just let the topic die or start a new one.

I'd be down with that.I know this one is an older post, but I do want to speak as to why it is the way it is and won't change.BZPower's focus should be on Lego/Bionicle. It's the kind of site we are first and foremost. We don't want to devalue those themes by adding additional forums that are not focused on those at all. Hence COT remaining one forum. It may be a little messy at times because of this, but it's intent is to be a singular place to discuss other things outside of Bionicle/Lego and not a main focus of the site. We view it as a side attraction and thus we treat it as such. There are other forums out there that offer a more wide variety of things to discuss and we do not feel that is our role to fill.The RPG judge process is an attempt to limit the amount of RPGs that clog it up and I very rarely approve any games. Most of the ones there are just ones that were running before the forum upgrade ever took place.

The brithday is over, the topic is closed.

BESTEST

Due to the absence of Wrack (Am I Popular Yet?) if you have approval from the other remaining judges please PM me and we can get your RPG going.

Ah, yeah, fair enough points. I would suspect Microsoft has a gameplan for it though, but I suspect as long as they toss it on iOS for iPad, they'll hit a big enough market saturation.

I meant to speculate earlier on how they would do this, but from the sounds of it, my speculation was confirmed as to how the disparate hardware and software will be handled..Smartglass is a platform. Essentially Microsoft writes and app that works on these different devices, then developers that want to leverage smart class only have to code for the smartglass platform (probably using HTML5/Javascript much like Windows 8 Metro apps). It eliminates issues with compiling for specific hardware and operating systems. Microsoft handles that for you as well as providing you the hooks to easily communicate with the Xbox.

So having a few aesthetic cues from Metroid Prime now makes Halo 4 (which still looks very much like a Halo game which is nothing like Metroid Prime) means it's a clone. Sure, that makes sense. Yeah, Gears is pretty dumb, but it's also dumb fun. Sometimes I just want to shut my brain off and have a little dumb fun. Splinter Cell didn't give off a MGS vibe to me, but since when is riffing on a highly successful franchise and perhaps improving it's formula ever a bad thing? I mean, this is like arguing every platformer ever is a Mario clone and is therefore stupid. Forza has very much always had car damage, it's been one of the major components of the franchise since it first came out. I also take it you haven't looked up anything else on it beyond what was shown at the conference which was unfortunately not a very good look at the game. It's an open world racer with heavy emphasis on player interaction, car culture, driving the open road, dichotomy between day and night and so on. It's a little more beyond "boring racer" I take it you just don't have a thing for racing games, but then again, NFS looks like a spiritual successor to Burnout Paradise which is one of my favorite games this generation. So, showing a video where a clearly overblown representation of a gamer uses a touch screen to view the exact same content on his tv to find help on a game (of which he had to exit the game to do instead of just hoping on a separate interface on the touchscreen) and then video chatting (with the video again duplicated on both the tv and the controller screen) with someone to get help isn't gimmicky? That's about as fanboy as fanboy gets. Microsoft at least showed some practical applications like resuming a movie from where you were watching it, or having a companion piece to a tv show or being able to view in game stats and manage game invites and party controls. I agree that the Vita is dead in the water and wonderbook was such a downer. I also agree that Playstation All Stars looks like a way less fun Smash Brothers. But Sony showed off a potentially interesting new IP from Quantic Dream (though we'll see how that pans out) and like was said Last of Us definitely has some merit. I'm not really big on Sony properties though so God of War did nothing for me. Overall though, I don't understand why there is some need to attack the games I like when I did nothing of the sort to you. I pointed out that while you may not be interested in them, other people, like myself, are. I didn't even say anything bad about Nintendo other than SmartGlass seems to do a lot of the promised things the Nintendo solution does but seems to do them better and without requiring a horrifying clunky controller give I can use devices I already own or plan on purchasing in the future. The whole point I was trying to make is that your making a very qualitative statement so definitively based on your point of view that favors products from Nintendo over others. I make my point of view that favors 3rd party and Microsoft products so in my perspective, while there were some low points during the MS conference (I don't need an internet browser on my console, thank you very much) it satisfied me by highlighting some games they have in the pipe that appeal to me. Thusly in my eyes, it is very much far, far away from the worst conference ever (that was Sony when they announced the PS3 price, I mean come on, everyone knows that's the worst presser ever). In the end though, I realize that as long as Nintendo shows off a new Mario and promises a new Zelda will come eventually, they'll be a winner in your book, just like if Microsoft shows off a new Halo and promises me a new Gears of War they'll be a winner in my book.

Pssst, none of those games under EA are EA games. Splinter Cell (shown at Microsoft, I know, lol at that, right?!?) and Just Dance are Ubi. Lara Croft/Tomb Raider is Square Enix and was also shown at Microsoft. EA would have been Need for Speed, Dead Space, some EA Sports stuff, and so on.

This gif = "these other guys didn't show games that are in my wheelhouse therefore they suck" On the other hand, Halo, Gears of War, Splinter Cell, Forza Horizon, Assassin's Creed, Need For Speed Most Wanted (aka Burnout Paradise 2) are all way up in my wheelhouse. Combine that with Microsoft putting out a serious throwdown to the WiiU tablet controller with SmartGlass and Sony showing off some pretty decent game footage (though seriously sony, only show game footage, when you don't your conference is a living nightmare). and I honestly don't see what the issues are other than you just don't care for their type of games.

Wind, you rock. Have a great birthday!

Guys, as a reminder, please do not repeat answers once the question has been answered already.Anyway, yes, we have access to your IP addresses used on BZPower even after you are banned.Topic closed.

Yes, technically Administrators can be banned. It is very unlikely however that they would be banned directly from their administrative position due to a number of factors. An admin's transgressions would have to be extremely bad to earn them a ban.Topic closed.

Please don't dig up old topics.Revived topic closed.

However, as it is not about BZPower, we will be shifting it over to Lego Discussion.
