Reply to Economic Singularity: The Gods and the Useless in Life, the Universe and Everything Stardock Forums

I debate this topic all the time, it certainly is a fascinating one. The OP was a great read but I'm going to have to disagree with some of the conclusions in this thread. There is no doubt that the economy is going through a huge transition that will reshape it and lead to disruption and joblessness in the short term. This could be very bad, but it won't be the end of everything or require a basic income. This newest round of automation is not any different than previous ones.

Reply to Is Rey a Super Jedi, Is Finn Force Sensitive? in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

@Heavenfall. Wouldn't Kylo Ren have recognized her then? Also why the hell would anyone ever do that? Luke's supposed to be a Jedi master not a completely out of control emotional spazz. Based on what I saw of the movie, and its many plot holes, I doubt we'll get a satisfactory answer. Rey's unexplained badassery is just an example of lazy writing and bad tropes. The answer is going to be because JJ said so and it allowed him to have a cool fight scene.

Reply to Why The force awakens is as bad as the prequels in Everything Else Elemental Forums

I'm not a fan of Star Wars so I'm judging the movie on its own merits, and I found it sub par. Honestly no unbiased reviewer should ever have given it more than 3 stars. It just wasn't a great movie. I think that after the prequels everyone was just hoping for another good Star Wars movie so badly that they are ignoring all the reasons why SW:TFA is worse.

Reply to Why The force awakens is as bad as the prequels in Everything Else Elemental Forums

I agree completely with the OP. All this bandwagon love of the movie confuses me. It's not good. So many plot holes and stupid stuff. I also hate how it makes Luke's entire journey in the first movies entirely pointless. Um, so one of his student's somehow manages to kill all his other students, while they're all under his tutelage; because he's been seduced by some Sith lord who came out of nowhere and is never explained, but everyone apparently knows. Thus Luke g

I don't really use the computers in libraries. In fact I never even bother to use their Wifi because where I live they require you to get a code from the librarians to access it. I could totally do that or you know I could just walk across the mall and get free totally uncensored Wifi from Starbucks, Tim Hortens, or even Pizza Pizza. Then I can download all the porn I want from my phone or laptop while just sitting on a bench in the hallway. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

So I have recently gotten a lot of good feedback from the good people at Web Fiction Guide . This led me to do a lot of editing and rewriting. I have also stayed on top of my release schedule so quite a few new chapters have been released. Feel free to check the story out.

The Iron Teeth: A Dark Fantasy Web Serial in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

I just recently started posting some chapters of a story I'm writing called The Iron Teeth. It's a dark fantasy online story . I know a lot of people here are into that genre of stuff so I thought I would give you all a heads up. I will be updating it every Sunday and Wednesday. Each update will be a chapter between 3000 and 4000 words. Synopsis: These are the Iron

Reply to Sorcerer King Developer to Beta Team Q&A in Sorcerer King Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote]Some people have said that Sorcerer King looks a lot like Legendary Heroes. What do you think people mean by this and what would be the most effective way to make sure the two games are visually distinct? [/quote] A big part of this is how armies are displayed. The OP pic is good example. I have never really been a big fan of the current system so I think you should look into making some changes. Some ideas are: -Make the units slightly smaller so they

Reply to 2.0 still coming? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

From what I understand along with a few new features it will mostly be about backporting all the engine improvements and gameplay tweaks from SK to LH. I can't wait for monster ZoC. I have been asking for that since the FE beta. The current system just doesn't work very well.

Reply to Something that Needs to be Addressed in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

I have always thought a lot of depth and fun could be added to tactical combat simply through better unit role design. Have different enemies require different tactical strategies. Force players to innovate and experiment instead of repeating the same rush to gang beat enemies every single time. Repetitive AI is a large problem as well. Here are some interesting enemies... -Units that can sit back and stall melee units using movement restricting spells or waves of dispos
