BOOB CITY

If I remember right they denature cleaning alcohols so they don't have to pay taxes on it as they do for stuff for human consumption.

How the heck do I comment in this stupid Mixlr thing? I registered a new account...

Well, I'd say Diablo was a bit too limited, with it's maximum player count of 4. But, yeah, there have been games that have done pretty much what they described. Particularly some older MMO's that have gone open source and now let anybody run their own shards freely (of course, it was pretty much always possible, since server emulators exist for almost all MMO's, but for the most part, if you were caught you'd be banned in non-OSS MMO's). Meridian 59 and Neocron 2 are two games I can think of that allows this.

man, i love Vinny, but he just has the worst opinions on just about everything

Why don't you get Matt Rorie to fill in when someone is away? Hey, actually, why isn't Matt Rorie on the podcast, period?

Hey, I agree with this. Make this happen. I'm a paying member; you guys have to listen to me.

You practically OWN Giant Bomb!

@tennmuerti: If Skyrim is "dumbed down" from Oblivion, then I'm perfectly fine with it. Everything from Oblivion, from the leveling to the skills to the "conversations" to the combat to the UI was all cumbersome and soured everything about it. And the story, like most Elder Scrolls games, was paper thin.

@likeassur: Hey I am right there with you, loved Skyrim and imo Oblivion is the weakest of the bunch, it simplified too many things without properly streamlining them, it was the half step. Whereas while Skyrim did simplify things further it was also much better at distilling and refining it's systems.

Been too long since Jon St. John last appeared in a podcast!

This "beef" shit in question section is just getting annoying
