    I wouldn't regret selling out at any time. By all rights this game/company should have killed itself a half dozen times over the last thirty years, and could still do so. They've recently actively fucked up enough to kill off the format that drove the majority of in-store play for the bulk of...

    As someone who loves playing melee the smoothness of D3 was definitely more enjoyable to me than the POE melee experience back then

    Daybreak, Blizzard, FunCom and Amazon should work together to make an MMO.

    In the book/setting the complete symbol is the ancient Aes Sedai symbol. In the setting at the point of the show, it's generally shown broken into two, the black "fang of the dragon" which is cursed/evil/dangerous/masculine, and the Flame of Tar Valon, which is good/light/knowledge/feminine...

    Much like fetches, I'd be happier banning the RL cards than reprinting them. And I own a lot of both types of cards.

    Imagine if someone actually tried to adapt Piers Anthony's weird horny ass books. Spell For Chameleon was my first full-sized book when I was a kid, so I have a soft spot for the dude.

    I never understood the idea of heroes of the storm as an eSports. The entire design was to minimize the impact of individual player skill, how do you build engaging narratives around that?

    The thing is, doing all of this to "surprise" the audience doesn't even serve the people they're trying to surprise right now. "Aaaand now your main character is not the people we've characterized and given you time to know, but this random guy we made sure to shove to the back of the screen...

    Spirit is the "fifth element" and is used for wonky magics. The Aes Sedai rules-lawyer their way around the oaths pretty regularly, since they're only bound by the words of the oath, not the intent. The oaths are a relatively new thing in the setting, forced upon them by a King who distrusted...

    Mind control weaves are a thing, but forbidden/forgotten for the most part, they come back into play as the Forsaken wake up. A lot of fuckery is done with Teleportation later in the books, but it's another forgotten weave at the start. For most of the books, fast travel is only available via...

    Reaper damage is not scaled down to sub 50 properly, logged in to knock out a dungeon daily on one of my tanks and everything just immediatly melted to two reapers. Ended up getting 18 levels in an hour thanks to the insta-queueueue and reapers/laser-healers everywhere.

    Was warned that the Marvel Crisis Protocol starter box models were fiddly. Thought I was going along fine until I hit miss marvel and one of her fiddly little upper arms flew the coop. Replaced it with a little piece of sprue. Guess I paint it white and pretend it's a random piece of...

    No no you see it's consistent with the rest of the books. Becoming Dragonsworn makes you super retarded.

    So, half of the new Unglued set is legacy/edh legal. Cards that care about artists, speech, or manual-dexterity are still "silver bordered", but dice rolling stuff is now part of real MTG thanks to AFR. They're all physically black bordered, but the illegal cards have an acorn foil stamp

    Are they going to do the thing video games do where they try to make a scene look like a videogame, except here it'll just be someone reading a book of exposition at the audience?

    Giving the characters 40min to breath and not be in retarded panic/drama mode this episode helped a lot. Unfortunately Perrins actor notes are still "stare gormlessly with your mouth open." Liandrin looks like she can bite through cuendillar

    I will be okay with whatever stupid changes they want to make as long as rand dies at the end of an episode halfway through the season and a voiceover says I WIN AGAIN, LEWS THERIN, then the show resets with more changes.
