The Dracthyr just look bad. Shockingly so. When I saw the 'leak' pic I chuckled because I figured there was no way this Free Realms looking crap was genuine.

Nofunzu of the Copper Dragonlight will not permit the use of flying mounts within the Dragon Isles. Its all part of an essential worker placement project funded by the aspects to keep their young busy.

There is a distinct lack of BBEG initially and that's okay. Certainly it helps set up the whole notion that this is not a military expedition but rather a civilian exploration / reclamation bit.

So no discussion of expected release or pre-order etc? Interesting.

The profession thing is, so far, the only thing that actually sounds good. It seems kinda EQ2-ish and that's not a bad thing.

Can't you already do all this with the UX?

So Red dragonflight is Life and therefore the Red Dracthyr magic is... fire and healing is green.

See! We have women who work here! The half-giants sound like a far more interesting race....

This sounds so incredibly generic... painfully so. So each new expansion has a new system that gets lost when you go to the next expansion. So we are gonna create a new system!

They think 9.1.5 and 9.2 was built for the community??

The core issue that WoW has is the notion that you are always competing to have the coolest thingy. There are tons of games, even multiplayer games, where there's no notion of someone getting validated with a doo-dad. Focus on making the actual gameplay fun and not on making the brass ring...

The Easter special was straight up garbage. Bad use of sets to convey 'outdoors', bad action, bad rubber masks, bad pacing... Just awful. I am chuffed that they are bringing not only the Master but Ace and Tegan back for the regeneration / BBC Centenary special.

The trailer for Ragnarok didn't seem at all interesting.... I have faith in Taika

Many things seem to get fixed by zoning when on the Xbox version. This includes both display issues and also situations like an equipment slot opening up and yet still not usable.

Having a zone that said 'hey! We made some more challenging content but to keep it challenging we are going to limit how much you can play it!" was a boneheaded move.

At this point there is no reason for "Helly" to ever come back to work, so there must be a broader plan to open the mystery up aside from the severed floor. The whole story also opens up when you consider the implications of the preggers bitch's use of severance. Don't have the motivation to...

I will say that my very first thought upon viewing the first episode was : "are these motherfuckers trying to rip off Dark?"

I think the success of Classic is actually part of the problem. A creative person might have seen that success as an opportunity to look backwards and see how it wasn't just novelty that drove people to enjoy those experiences. An MBA, however, sees it as as excuse to get lazy since they know...

The last several iterations of the WoW dev team seem to have learned all the wrong lessons from the original development of the game. Yes WoW has always had a theme-park feel wherein they cram a lot of story/adventure content into a relatively small space with an overarching theme, but the...

I do wish we could get past the 'I found something absolutely fucking insane... I'll make sure to tell no one about it' mode of storytelling. The 'oh from this 19th century map its unclear who owns the land...' schtick is also a bit played out. The USGS does exist, even in "flyover states".

He's not an android so much as a synthetic human. Sort of like a skinjob cylon. I did like James Callis as his father. Fans are primed to see him as evil yet as said above it's clear he was doing the best he could..

You may want to consult a religious person of your choosing. Preferably one with an O-level in demonology.

Stranger Things is targeted solidly at Gen Xers. I grew up in the midwest and was the same age as the characters are in 83/84 and the nostalgia feel of the thing is strong as hell. I actually go back and rewatch periodically just because its so damn fun.

Had one Kickstarter that was super delayed due to all sorts of supply issues but finally arrived at the US distributor on groundhog day...and has promptly sat there for the past 2+ months. 3PL is not some sort of arcane process, there are literally hundreds of similar places across the country...

There is a remarkable white-knight effect when it comes to some of these Kickstarter campaigns that I find fascinating from a sociological perspective. Some delays are understandable but others are just complete bullshit and/or laziness related and yet people chime in with "just so happy to...

The abilities of character 4 were certainly not what I was expecting. Its pretty much a cleric with an AE shield and AE heal. I don't think I used the double-tap bumper ability even once despite it being the defining trait for the character.

So in the end Sylvanas is just Lois Lane level dim when it comes to the Jailer and the whole genocide thing was just sort of a thing to do because she was bored on a Tuesday? I didn't really expect any sort of clever twist to the whole story, but I did expect something that wasn't straight up...

There is carry over for all the characters except character 5. There's even a bit at the start of the 2nd character where they are explaining the whole concept after you recruit the 1st character back into your posse that you will carry over their inventory including any unspent points. This...

FFS! We don't talk about Bruno!!

I'm gonna have to go to theater for the first time post COVID to see this bitch. Aint no way in hell I'm missing Wanda and Strange.

Agnes going full Pat Benatar was unexpected but fun

I do kinda like the anthology nature of it with the different storylines that still manage to cross over each other thanks to the persistent use of the time/date stamp. I did appreciate that it took them weeks to find the crown of Arion given the size of the area they had to search. The...

Elden Ring is not the messianic coming that people want it to be. Its more akin to an abusive relationship where it brings you a nice present after it smacks you around the kitchen the previous night. The 'mini dungeons' in Elden Ring are one step past Lost Dungeons of Norrath in terms of...

Finished the game. Character 5's story was the shortest of them all, but by that point anyone with a pulse can figure out where the whole deal is headed and you likely have orange weapons/armor on your posse-peeps so it was just going through the motions. Never did address the lost skill...

I mean... it had to happen.

There is a Burger King nearby immediately adjacent to a McDonalds. The McDs is perpetually busy and gets a full remodel every couple of years to stay current. The BK? Not so much. I have never once seen a car in their drive thru, even when both lanes of the McD drive thru are spilling out...

The later part of the game has some wonky bugs. I'm on character 5 now and walking through objects / walls and/or getting stuck on surfaces. Lots of random crashes mid combat, posse members getting stuck etc. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but my 'skill' points did not transfer...

I'm only gonna get this if I can get the deluxe edition with the blue-milk luke minifig. The one time where physical edition calls to me.

I'm on character 4 now. Ive gotten to the point now of making sure to load things up on the horse before the end of a given storyline so I have better gear when I buy my horse back (your horse and safety deposit box transfers from story to story). The first story is by far the most 'plain', it...
