    There's no such thing as Ellen Page anymore, it's Elliot now. And neither does Elliot..

    Wheel of Time

    My understanding of Rand and Mat's attractiveness was that Rand is very tall and his red hair and blue eyes make him stand out and attract looks, and Mat isn't ugly of course but mostly he's very charming, he's basically Han Solo in heroic fantasy. Anyway I wouldn't worry too much about this...

    Wheel of Time

    As I recall, none of the main cast is described as strikingly beautiful in the books either, the only women I recall Jordan really describing as beautiful are Elayne, Lanfear, Graendal, and that green ajah chick who has several warders and bangs them all.

    Wheel of Time

    If you want to be technical about it (you don't), this is perhaps one of the only franchises where this could possibly make sense, as it takes place in the far future where society has gone medieval after a massive cataclysm but prior to that it was an advanced society probably full of melting...

    Wheel of Time

    I mean, you see Rand several times in the trailer, and you see Lews Therin crying just before he unleashes his power to create Dragonmount, I'm not sure what else you expected. Did you want Dr Strange stuff happening all around the lead trio to "show" ta'veren as threads of fate pulling people...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Gotta love kids. I haven't played Skyward Sword since its original release on Wii but I remember the early game is indeed a little odd, you spend some time in your sky village meeting people and doing some random tasks until the game really kicks into gear, similar to the farm early in Twilight...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    The villains in this movie are redesigned, some more than others. Jamie Foxx already let it slip his Electro isn't blue anymore, and we've seen in the trailer that his lightning is yellow now (like in the comics). Doc Ock has a slightly modified trenchcoat and the tentacles are a little...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    I wouldn't count on Venom showing up especially now that Sony has its own franchise with him, but the Lizard is apparently in the trailer so he may show up with the other villains. Also from the trailer I'm going to say Sandman is a good guy, the sandwhirls appear to be blocking Electro's...

    What are you playing?

    I know I'm very late to the party but I only just now discovered the Ori games (on Switch) though I had heard great things about them and I really like Metroidvania games. I finished Ori and the Blind Forest (Definitive Edition) and fell in love with it, the smooth gameplay, the responsive...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Having played Ghost of Tsushima 100% and having watched a full Let's Play of TLOU2, I definitely concur it should have won GOTY before TLOU2. I mean, on a technical level both are very solid games, but TLOU2 felt sooo fucking bloated to me, it just gets very boring and the perpetual grimdark...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah it was half-assed, like most things for this expansion and for a few years now. The only real time I saw covenants as enemies was like I mentionned during the venthyr campaign, but the kyrian campaign takes you to Maldraxxus and none of the maldraxxi seem to mind, same with the maldraxxi /...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree it wasn't a good idea to begin with, and I understand most people care more about gameplay than story, but when they try (emphasis on TRY) to tell a story, I don't mind if the gameplay reflects that a little including having some limitations as long as they make sense.. but when the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To be fair, I can understand the lore reasoning behind putting some retrictions on how easy it would be to swap covenants early in the expansion because at the time the coveannts were clearly not on friendly terms for the most part (for instance the venthyr having to sneak into Bastion or else...

    Karl Jobst indeed has great content but if you like videos around speedrunning, make sure to watch Summoning Salt videos, dude's amazing with his stuff about the history of speedrunning world records.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    Vulture is probably not gonna be a villain anymore after the end of Homecoming, but remember they introduced Scorpion at the end of that movie, so he's going to show up at some point as a minor villain.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    It looks super cool, very excited to see this. I agree Strange's tampering seems out of character (though he's also known to be on the experimental side of magic, and as he grew into his role as Sorcerer Supreme it's possible he also slipped back into his bad habit of showing off and trying...

    Dark Souls

    I am rather terrible at Dark Souls (only played Remastered and didn't finish it) but I really got into Sekiro and reached the final boss (and stopped there because I didn't have 50 hours to throw at it to actually beat said boss). There's indeed no levels in Sekiro so you won't be able to...

    Everquest Confessions

    Speaking of Necros, time for another confession.. During Velious my guild on Povar was farming Avatar of War (not anywhere close to cutting edge though, we did it rather late) and smaller guilds sometimes did other stuff like Vindicator nearby at the same time, Kael Drakkel was cool for that...

    Interesting. I've only ever played a little bit of Morrowind and played through Skyrim out of curiosity after its twenty-seventh re-re-release because everyone was talking about it and making memes out of it, but I can't say I felt hooked into the story or the world of Tamriel.

    I didn't realize ESO was still a thing. I appreciate the kind recommendations, but as I said multiple times I'm not looking for a MMO replacement for WoW, I'm perfectly content sinking with the ship while I play the violin. All the while cheering for the iceberg.

    So I've heard, though I've watched Asmongold play it a little and I must say I don't find the graphics very appealing. I mean it doesn't look bad but the style is very different to what I'm used to, it didn't really grab my attention. But really the main reason why I'll never play it is because...

    I think what they're trying to get through is that when you're going to make it so conduit upgrades are spec-based, you should take the time to do it properly and make it work like every single other instance where stuff is spec-based, instead of requiring a full spec-change and then using said...

    I moved from EQ onto WoW because I was a fan of the Warcraft universe (played WC2/WC3/TFT a lot, but never multiplayer). At first I was into the whole social/guild thing because coming from EQ that was really the only way I knew to play these kinda games, but the drama inherent to guilds and...

    Oh I'm not claiming any sort of moral high ground, I've been clear on my view of playing the game, I do it out of habit and sunken cost fallacy, I spend significant hours of my evenings watching youtube stuff so I figure I might as well play a game during that, but unlike the toxic clusterfucks...

    It's not someone else they're trying to convince, it's themselves. A lot of haters are ex-players who hate how they wasted so much time on something they've come to hate, and so they think by being extra hateful on it it's somehow going to compensate for the time and energy they wasted on it...

    Yeah, Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy was the same studio, they did good work. And she's been at Blizzard since January 21 so she's probably not involved in any of the WC3 Refunded bullshit.

    Except every single thing she's done so far has made it even worse. Even Bobby "I eat puppies" Kotick's statement was more humane than hers, and contradicted hers at every turn. She's the goddamn president of the women's rights association of ABK.

    I have a fear of heights that can get pretty intense, even in video games if I'm in first person especially. So one time my guild is doing a raid in The Deep and we're at that part where you have to cross the thin invisible bridge across the chasm to get to the Thought Horror Overfiend area...

    I'm onboard, the ex-EQ devs let themselves get poached for WoW Classic so they could destroy Blizzard from the inside. Any day now Blizzard HQ is going to blow up while LGBTQWTF+ crowds picket on the parking lot, and Holly Windstalker will sommersault out of the exploding window, perform a...
