    Dreams

    I had a dream where I had to fly to America at 5pm, then it turned out it was 5am the next day, and then 5pm on the second day. I think it was to play a Hearthstone tournament against Arteezy. I've played like 5 games of Hearthstone so naturally I was scared.

    The F2P Model

    Oh boy, this is a subject close to home for me. So Maplestory sits at my favorite game of all time, it's grindy, buggy, childish but even today I find it stupidly fun (despite me not playing regularly). It was F2P since it released and for years it was pretty good, the cash shop was pretty much just for cosmetic items, and pets that would auto use potions at certain HP/MP and pick up items for you. It wasn't fairly priced but it barely affected gameplay (at least from what I remember). This all changed when the fire nation attacked Nexon (the publisher) decided to implement a system like Diablo games (from what I know) where gear has bonus affects that you can identify by paying with in game currency. They tiered this in such a way where better items with better "potentials" (the identified stats) were given a ranking, and this is where the F2P model when from fair to the most disgustingly P2W shit ever. Essentially you could drop a few dollars in the cash shop to reset the potential, and have it be better or worse when you re-identified it (with some limited time cash items guaranteeing a potential increase). This lead to hardcore players dropping THOUSANDS of dollars to get the best gear, but essentially gambling their money away. So yeah, to answer your question I hate F2P models and I think they're ruining games. I love MMOs and they're worst hit by it, any F2P MMO makes me feel like a second class citizen when I don't pay, so I only play P2P ones now. Sure you can argue "But they're businesses and they're there to make money" but in almost all cases I've found F2P turns into showing no respect to players even if they do pay. This is why im so worried about the DFO relaunch. Although it must be doing good by raking in fuck loads of money if this many companies get away with abuse. Once it goes past cosmetic in my opinion it becomes bad.

      It's "progressive house" so really it's all exactly the same buildup to the same drop each time. It's so god damn fucking bad but it's kinda catchy and it pisses me off that I like it. This kinda explains a lot

      Oh also similar stuff can be said about Hardstyle so that makes it worse.

    TIAM: General Gaming edition

    It's pretty bad, no way to choose what songs to listen to while in game, you can only control what you already have loaded. I'm sticking with other music players for now.

    Game Deals Announcement Thread

    Yeah, just because EA have shitty business practices doesn't mean that Origin is objectively bad. Hell I've got a list of pretty good free games from it and the deals on it are pretty nice too.
