    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's not gonna be worse, but I don't think it'll be particularly impressive. Like Cataclysm level. Also, they took the ability pruning and simplification of specs to such an extreme length that I think people will get tired of WoW very quickly in Legion and subscriptions will plummet only...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There wasn't necessarily anything extremely wrong with garrisons, it's just that Blizzard thought that it could substitute for actual gameplay. If they hadn't removed almost all everyday activities from WoD, as if the existence of garrisons meant nobody had any desire to do dungeons, dailies...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Does this still use the hackjob mac client or whatever?

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I'm sure "long enough" in P99 terms is something like eight years. How long was the server stuck with Kunark?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ability pruning is fine, but they've taken it to such an extreme end of the spectrum that my spec feels downright primitive now. They've stripped away practically everything that doesn't pertain to the actual rotation. It's starting to feel boring. When you start to take away stuff like...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They sure went balls to the walls with the dumbing-down of classes. This seems like kind of a big gamble in an expansion where they desperately need to steady the ship and avoid controversies. If Legion is another miss, it could genuinely be the beginning of the end for WoW. Massively...

    Hearthstone

    It's also because Vitality Totem was rotated out, increasing Tuskarr's odds of giving you a good totem for aggro. Basically you have an almost 50% chance to get an absurd outcome that makes the card bizarrely broken. Totem Golem from an on-curve Tuskarr is practically game-ending on the spot...

    Overwatch

    What's the console vs. PC situation? I know there isn't cross-platform, but is the console community taken seriously or is that just casual second-rate status? I heard the game is being balanced differently for console, does that mean competitive play is only on PC?

    Overwatch

    What do people generally consider to be the problems with this game? I'm thinking about buying it but I haven't played an FPS in fucking years and years, so I'm a little hesitant and would like to know if there's anything significant wrong with it. Like does it have the same kind of ungodly...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    It's almost as if they're trying to make money off of the work they do!! Honestly, if Blizzard were to provide official legacy servers that require nothing more than a subscription and up-to-date account, it'll be a huge boon to the countless players who are looking for this, and way more...

    Hearthstone

    Buy the adventures with cash. $50 should get you BRM and LoE. You can't buy packs for these cards, the only way to get them is by buying the adventures, and the gold cost is prohibitively high. If there's any money left, buy a few classic packs. Then just spend your gold on packs. For a good...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's been lambasted for being almost vanilla levels of primitive and for being wholly RNG-dependent. Apparently your rotation is the renamed equivalents of Sinister Strike, Slice & Dice and Eviscerate, and the finisher gives you a random buff where some of them are hugely powerful and others are...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    Considering how much demand there is, it's bizarre how there has never been a good TBC server. You'd think it would be easier to make than a vanilla server if you grant level boosts to 58 so that you can leave all the vanilla content in a buggy mess because nobody needs to do it. That leaves you...

    Fallout 4

    My god... Someone gave me their copy of Fallout 4 because it sucks a bit, so I decided to give it a go. I named my character Fuckface McAmerican Inventorjew, and at the start of the game, that robot butler came up to me and said, with voice acting, "Mr. Fuckface!" I laughed so hard I needed my inhaler...

    Hearthstone

    This is total TGT deja-vu. I'm seeing all the same signs of a similar expansion. The meta will change significantly because of the loss of Naxx and GvG, and nerfs to certain classic cards, but I see no more than maybe a dozen WotOG cards that are certain to be played seriously. I don't believe...
