Title: Test Your Prophecy
Post by: bloodreaper on September 15, 2010, 01:03:00 PM
This is were you lay down predictions for future events, in attempt to demonstrate your personal insight or supernatural prescience.

I'll start with some predictions about the coming wave of MMOs. These aren't declarations of one game's innate quality or superiority, just what I think their odds of survival are, in the face of the network effect and the deadly hype engines.

In loosely chronological order:

Guild Wars 2 kills Fantasy Earth Zero. (FEZ is only alive because of the ways it differs from WoW, but it is much more similar to GW2.)

World of Warcraft kills Final Fantasy XIV. (Somebody tell me what Square is thinking; I'm a prophet not a mind reader.)

Guild Wars 2 cripples TERA, which escapes into exile, in China. (This is a fierce, head-to-head battle, but GW2 has already struck telling blows. It will be a battle for the ages.)

After a long struggle, Wakfu perishes, under assault from WoW and GW2. (TERA will do some damage as well, before GW2 pushes it out of the American market.)

Discuss, disagree, or issue an unrelated prophecy of your own.

EDIT:


Oh, and GW2 kills League of Legends.

Sorry G, that's the way the wind is blowing.

*Snrk!*

I have no clue what most of those things are, due to my general lack of time to dabble in such things, but what I've read is somewhat funny, to me...
But as I've already said, I'm easily amused...
Also, it is 5:52 in the morning...
...

Anyway... XP

Can I predict that this cake thing I am making will either be really good or really bad? XD
(You may perhaps find out, later... based on the presence of cake or lack, thereof.)

I predict that you will use too much orange juice.

Hahaha...   ;D
...
I think that's cheating... XP

But I think that a regular chocolate cake would be good with that orange-chocolate sauce...
(I made a note of it and put it in my book.   :)   )
Though it can't've been too terrible... people ate it... XD

I predict that one day there will be an even better cake!

I predict the orange chocolate shell on a regular chocolate cake will be much better.

No cheating this time.

you have to mix flavors to make a great cake say chocolate cake butter cream frosting with a cherry filling
I predict a great cake with that just not necessarily from you

Haha.

I'll let you know when I get around to making it.   :P

Hm...
That could be a good cake... XD

I predict that I will be very tired in the morning, when I have to go to school... >.>
