haha, girlish noise. Hair looks good. Everyone playing TOR.
Won't EA make their money back in a few months if the numbers hold? If so I guess it was worth it for them.

Spot on, Adam. I laughed at the girlish squealing when you got to experience the game animations. I am playing and loving the game as well. As long as Bioware keeps cranking out content, I will be playing this one for a long time.

I EFFING LOVE IT! In a weird, totally creepy way, I've always wanted to see you with a beard. Just grow it out as much as they will allow you. Also, great soapbox.

Adam, in all the years I have been watching g4 and x-play I would never expect a beard from you. I would grow the chin out though, but a good look for a new year right :).
When it comes to MMO's, I like free-to-play. I have never really tried to pay for an MMO only because I was happy enough with the games I was playing that were free. I think that if its a truly great game and made really well then they should make you have to pay for a service. That aside, from what I have noticed, a lot of MMO's that have had there time out on the market and generated money for their product generally change to free-to-play. When I say that I refer to DC Online. Even if its a service that does not have all the content but gives you the option to increase your content like DC Online or purchasing in game items to help you while you play the game to make it more enjoyable i.e. extra character slots to make more characters. Another one would be WoW, and how they made it to where the first 20 levels are free. To me it seems more like a demo than and actual game to try and play, but gives the user a chance to experience the game and choose to want to pay for it or not.
I for one think free-to-play is a good thing and like the idea of how many games revert to free-to-play over time.

Adam, you've reached the level of Bruce Willis when it comes to hair. Ok jokes aside, yea , the hair looks good. Dunno how I feel about the beard though... give it some time.
Anyways, I have always been on two side when it comes to Free-to-play. It always seems like that argument of "you get what you pay for" when it comes to investment of long-term gaming. For instance, the long scourging battle of online play with a console. On the Xbox, you have a expensive monthly or yearly fee for online play, with various features, gadgets and now apps that can be played with your system. On the Playstation you don't really need to have the online subscription to enjoy most of your games, but with paying for it, you gain that much more.
Free to play seems like a great idea for now, but I think it takes time and investment and a desire to purchase such things through your stores to have something like this survive. I would really love to see a report on the studios that switch to the "Free-to-play" motto after a few years to inquire about revenue, pay for the workers, productivity and so on so forth. Or maybe even other popular online 'successful' MMORPGs as well.
.... well maybe thats just me.

please shave

Only because Adam asked for opinions:
No, I don't like the facial hair. The facial hair without the chin being covered just looks wrong. On the flip side, I very much like the reasoning of not having to shave (I hate shaving). The shaved head, that's fine, and the reasoning of just not wanting to pretend, that I love.

oh wow. different look on Sessler :)

ive been watching g4 for over 7 years, and you have never had a beard, looks good tho. you should grow it out like an omish guy.

I personally don't like free to play MMO's. I like the idea of paying once a month and getting acess to all content I want with that one cost.

I like it!
