To be honest, I was impressed with the cinematic. I was impressed with the new content. I was impressed that he was going in this direction, leaving LESIG behind and promising us that the new-type of LE will be more centered around the pla...

Custom UI anybody?

I can't tell if the Monolith hard-coding the game is an excuse to avoid putting new things into the game, or if it's just something that undeniably can't be touched otherwise the entire game will be FUBAR'd. You'd think that Sony, a vast m...

I never was bothered to farm the 100 robot parts to get the full components for an Area K, so 10mil to buy 10 heads. Anyone?

WTT: For Clouded Spectacles Male

My up-front offer is basically a better version of the Mech org clothing reward, the Threadbare Sleepwalker Bandana. It has better buffs than the bandana and retains the same aesthetic look. If you're not looking for an item/item trade, ju...

Am I the only one who is a little raged at the fact that the "Gray Bandana" is just a copy of the Threadbare Sleepwalker Bandana, just only with mediocre buffs? While Merv's and Zions get new items?

Rare's cinematic image dump v11.3 (**SPOILERS**)

Honestly at first I didn't really think much of this, but now that I've seen the cinematic in its final stage, it's actually pretty decent. I miss the sound effects though, but this is still a hundred times better than just the one image w...
