ANALYSIS: MMOGs - Risk vs Reward
By Screen Digest
Analyst Piers Harding-Rolls examines the gambles involved in publishing premium online games.

It is clear that for those companies that succeed, the MMOG subscription
model can be extremely lucrative and benefits disproportionately from scale. In other words, once past a certain level of subscribers, operating expenses’ impact on profit margins falls heavily, allowing for great returns. Operating profit for well-adopted

Michael Bay accepts challenge [Uwe Bollsh*t]

Posted 05-02-2008 at 03:59 AM by [PhiberOpticks] (Phiber Pheed)
I while ago, I posted a video of Uwe Boll challenging Michael Bay. Now, I've got some better news: Michael Bay accepted it. Now, Uwe Boll isn't exactly the most brilliant director in the world. In fact, he's probably one of the worst. But if he can be called anything (besides a real ******), he can be called a marketing genius. Read what he says or watch the toob link and you'll see what I mean.

Ambient Crowd Noises [SC4]

Ambient Crowd Noises
When you go to major cities, it doesn't really sound as crowded as it may look. This could be influenced by the number of PCs and/or NPCs, but based on population density in areas, there could be a subtle amount of ambient crowd noise. Just one more step towards full immersion.

Those of us who are or will dole out hella money for a sound system might enjoy it a bit more. Alongside the Active NPCs suggestion, it just takes this game a whole 'nother step

World Raid Challenges [SC4]

World Raid Challenges
YouTube - Aion - giant flying monster
As you can see from that video, it is a giant flying monster and the central concept behind this suggestion. Given it's massive nature, it seems appropriate to kill it with a massive raid. These would not necessarily have to be some of the more important raids, but could be an easier task with less valuable drops. Everyone in the zone would be aware of the monster because it would be visible from any distance within the area.

Just saw Harold and Qqooomar

I just got back from watching the movie. Pretty damned funny. Racism abound and whatnot. The grape soda thing was pretty freaking hilarious, along with the Matthew Perry reference. I think it's a great movie and you should all go see it. Also, ****s-a-plenty. Didn't need it, especially since went with my girlfriend, but it definitely was a sight to behold.

One thing I noticed is that it was probably the first movie to really poke fun at the post-9/11 atmosphere. Jokes aside, I think...
