So how would you rate Destiny? - Lil Roo Sep 11, 07:23 4

  - I had some trouble connecting to the servers last night, but I did manage to get in some Level 4 Patrol and a few Crucible games, getting myself up to level 9. -- nm - Ender Sep 11, 08:04 2
    - Nice. I'm not even sure how much Crucible I will bother with, but we'll see. -- nm - Shaun Sep 11, 08:07 1
      - I'm definitely not good at it. I call it a win when I'm not the bottom person on my team. -- nm - Ender Sep 11, 08:11

- I never heard the stuff about AF1. That's crazy. - Strongbad Sep 11, 07:20 1
  - To this day, I don't think we have an understanding of what was averted that morning, i.e. what the original plan was. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 11, 07:30
is Jerry Richardson crying so hard because the Panthers have been coming under fire for Hardy? - Diva Sep 11, 07:10 20
- NFL is on the wrong side of a feeding frenzy right now. There's a void in news, and reporters were blindsided by explanations on this topic. -- nm - budice Sep 11, 07:13 9
  - There's no void in news...there's a non-stop crisis parade in the world. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 07:17 6
    - I've always liked Peter King. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 11, 07:31
    - I think the issue is less "reporters weren't doing their jobs" because they didn't dig, but because - TWuG Sep 11, 07:25 4
      - disagree. they ate what the NFL fed them and now are finding out they were being lied to the whole time. Schefter was pissed Tuesday when he went off -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 07:26 3
        
        They did that because readers didn't care and likely wouldn't have without the video. - TWuG Sep 11, 07:30 2
        
        This is revisionist, imo. The Ray Rice story was a big, continuing sports story since February. - Inigo Sep 11, 07:35 1
        
        Yes, a group of people cared. But the story wasn't terribly juicy until the video came out and contradicvted pretty much every Rice and NFL account. - TWuG Sep 11, 07:38
  - every time the NFL came out with a comment something new would get released to completely refute their comment. It was awesome -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 07:14 1
    - nmbl -- (link) - Beaker Sep 11, 07:16
- He got an award last night for morality and serving the greater good. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 07:12 9

    - [deleted] 7
      - What did they do now? - Will Hunting Sep 11, 07:19 6
        
        At least he's not the Hawks PR guy. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 11, 07:20 2
        
        That Danny Ferry business is pretty heinous. Casts a bit of a pall on those who roll through the Duke BBall program. -- nm - budice Sep 11, 07:49 1
        
        Luol Deng just can't win. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 07:59

- yes -- nm - JD Sep 11, 07:46
- I have been in the past but don't know if that's still registered anywhere, however, mrs. zork might get in the way -- nm - zork Sep 11, 07:29
- No. my organs are tainted. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 11, 07:24
- yes -- nm - decline Sep 11, 07:21
- yes, as noted on my DL -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 11, 07:17

- Yes -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 07:05
- Yes -- nm - amoxy Sep 11, 07:04
- I...don't know. I think I was via my DL in TX but don't remember if they asked that question here? -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 07:04 2
  - maybe they took that info off of your old license? (My license has a heart on it to indicate I'm an organ donor, maybe that's standard in every state? -- nm - kelly Sep 11, 07:07
  - As long as you tell your family that's all you really need to do. - spamlet Sep 11, 07:06
- yes -- nm - kelly Sep 11, 07:04
{{big hugs}} wiggie. My deepest condolences. -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 07:03 1

Biting the hand that feeds: Andrew Garfield Says Studio Notes Hurt ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ -- (link) - budice Sep 11, 07:02 4
- Now what's his excuse for that first turd of a movie? -- nm - Ender Sep 11, 08:03
- what are they going to do, reboot it again? -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 07:51
- i saw this movie on a plane, it was bad. Once again too many villians, and they had minimal screen time. Just no point. -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 07:11
- Most studio notes do. But in this case, blaming studio notes is like blaming craft services. -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 07:05
Hey, Wigs. Today is my Dad's birthday, too. - Inigo Sep 11, 07:01 6

- Dad's is the 10th, so he just missed it. But yeah. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 11, 07:02 2
  - I always forget that you Aussies are in the future. My today is your yesterday. -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 07:10
  - Big hugs -- nm - amoxy Sep 11, 07:04
It's pretty clear from the responses that FPS+RPG+MMO != a good genre of game for most STers. -- nm - Shaun Sep 11, 06:57 20
- First Person Shooter, Role Playing Game, MMO = ? -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 07:47 4
  - Massively Multiplayer Online -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 07:48 3
    - ahh thanks -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 07:50 2
      - I'm surprised that you didn't know that -- nm - zork Sep 11, 07:51 1
        
        I've seen it but probably just forgot (I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate on my IPad, the new games frighten me) -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 07:54
- I don't mind the styles...just the fact that 18 hours (of which 2/3 was slogging) is considered a deep game. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 07:11 5
  - $3/hr is way less expensive than going to a movie and probably took more hours to create -- nm - zork Sep 11, 07:31
  - exactly. I think I hit 90 hrs on Skyrim and still never finished everything. 18 ain't worth the money -- nm - decline Sep 11, 07:22 2
    - Skyrim has zero MMO elements though, which is a huge part of Destiny with raids and such. -- nm - Shaun Sep 11, 07:31
    - yeah, I have no idea how long I played Skyrim, but it was a shit ton. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 07:30
  - But you can play it through three times! -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 11, 07:14
- I wonder if there isn't some other game concept out there to be invented that doesn't require leveling to progress but also doesn't put you on rails - Reagen Sep 11, 07:06 1
  - Minecraft is completely open-ended and doesn't have levels. - TWuG Sep 11, 07:10
- At this point, I've sworn off FPS and all open-world style games (like GT5). They just don't appeal to me anymore. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 11, 07:02 6
  - Open world and MMO are dead to me, FPS is on its last breath. Scrabble will never die. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 07:04 5
    - How about a Scrabble game that was an MMO and a FPS - eag Sep 11, 07:21 2
      - First Person Scrabble ... Bingo headshots! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 07:22 1
        
        Triple word sticky bomb! -- nm - Strongbad Sep 11, 07:24
    - I still enjoy MMO. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 11, 07:08 1
