    I'm guessing here, but based upon my own experiences with our fellow Protectorites...

    Many of this server's denizens do not wander beyond our gates, they fear the beasts in the woods.

    Therefore, posting here increases the odds more Protector faithful will see - and hopefully read - it.
  3. The war drums, they do call to us...

    Prepare yourself, we march to battle.





    In other words...

    LET'S GET READY TO RUUUMBLE!!!

    True, but he's so cool, you couldn't really help yourself.

    As for this edition, wow!
  5. A very good point T. The passing of Keely was some of the best stuff Sooner's done, gripping and powerful. However, as daunting as this latest edition might be, I suspect it will be resolved with decidedly more triumphant results.

    As for Momma Nation and the wounds Na'rul inflicted... we'll have to wait and hope for the best.
  6. I can just see it in my head... demons and heroes battling in the hallway, as Glacius and Na'rul tumble out the shattered window.

    Excellent Sooner.

    That last bit, that part can be the hardest of them all.

    You can find patch note info here, but they - NCSoft - are habitually slow in posting them. It is also worth pointing out, not every patch even has notes, so it's not the end o' the world if you do not find them.
  9. Yeah, we're one of the skinny kids...

    Virtue and Freedom are 'fluffy'.

    And what a gloriously wonderful day it will be too.
  11. Dude, you might want to look into a light reading.

    Wolfie!!

    That is pretty snazzy.

    I better work a little harder on poker night, so I have the cash sitting around for this "Mutant" (and apparently "Beast") booster pack(s).
  13. Payback...

    Oh yes, it is coming, like a long, long freight train, it is a comin'.
  14. *pounds on thread with a stick*

    More story.

    Now.

    After all he's seen and endured...

    Rikti invasion

    Becoming a Peacebringer

    Capture/Torture

    Nanite infusion

    ...yeah, that horde of little ******** might slow him down, but they certainly weren't going to stop him.

    So, APB...

    To explain a bit further, Metacritic gathers the reviews and scores for games, movies, etc and compiles them into an aggregate score. You can read the input that contributed to the score and decide for yourself how much weight to give each piece. For example, if 20 websites reviewed Game X and 19 of them gave it a poor to horrid rating while 1 gave it a glowing review, Metacritics score for Game X is the average of all 20, but it you never know, maybe that one voice sees the world the same way you do.

    I've been reading Metacritic for awhile now and I've yet to find anything that scored very high or very low that I seriously disagreed with their overall score. So, like I said previously, if their score for APB (when they have reviews to calculate a score) is high, low, or somewhere in between, that'll be a helpful indicator for those folks who are as yet undecided about trying out the game.

    So, APB...

    For those who're interested but as yet undecided about APB...

    Might be worth your while to keep tabs on what they have to say about it over at Metacritic. They have not, as yet, reviewed APB, but they are tracking it. As more reviews and info becomes available, they should update the linked page.

    While I'm not a huge fan of following critics' reviews for games, Metacritic gives you a pretty good feel for the general attitude toward a game, movie, etc in the form of averages.

    Ironic, the symmetry of Conall's current condition and what he did to Ahren, two life-times ago. But, back then Ciara was a distant nuisance, Conall was focused. Now, things have changed...

  19. The following is said with a wide, knowing grin spread out across my face

    You're really going to dig Book III. I don't know all the surprises Sooner has in store for us, but what I do know will shake the Ghosts/Shades mythology right down to the core.

    This is to say nothing of the next couple stories we're already roughing out as future projects.
  20. This is really cool Huron, a great idea!

    It should be interesting to see what teams get put together and how everyone does at it.
