    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I know it's a small thing but I'd really rather pay 49.95 for the base game and get my boost than this 40/60/80 thing they've got going. At 40 bucks there's no boost and I like the boost so if I want one it's 60 but 80 comes with a free month so it's reaaaaaaaaaally more like 65 or so. They...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I wonder if they'll try to address that again with the new expansion. This expansion saw an entire guild race changing for an advantage, hopping sides to do a weekly quest one extra time before hopping back, server hopping to buy enough mats to level several tradeskills to better enable...

    Exactly. I just need some pageantry with my box. Titanforging was just so fucking obviously operant conditioning it started pissing me off when it happened.

    I liked all the stuff with Illidan's story and the Demon Hunter class a whole lot. He was just so happy when you were on Argus fucking up the Burning Legion's shit. It may sound dumb but I'm completely serious. Demon Hunter Vulpera when.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Once you've been doing something for a long time and you've got habit and obligation intertwined in the behavior it can be really hard to look at it objectively. Give it a rest and see how you feel. Cancel your sub and uninstall the game to create distance. It will force you to make actual...

    A couple years ago IDW put out a comic mini-series about how Mirror Universe Picard came to captain Mirror Universe Enterprise. Also sells tickets to THE GUN SHOW on the side from the looks of him. It's five issues and actually pretty fun...

    That level of intervention combined with zero communication is a real problem. If it's just fucking broken than what are we even doing here. Between all the different streams you've got like 60k people watching the race. It's embarrassing.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I heard Asmongold say once that only the cosmetics actually matter and after reflexively disagreeing with the notion I had to admit he was correct. A mount or a title that can no longer be obtained maintains at least some importance. Everything else is transitory.

    We're pretty far in if we're eating dandelions but you can 100% eat dandelions including the roots. You can even buy roasted dandelion root as a kind of tea/coffee thing but the one time I did I was not impressed.

    Star Trek: Picard

    I'll always love DS9 but as time continues to move forward I'm increasingly sympathetic to the idea that it was a bad for the franchise. The dark undertones throughout the series have continued to seep in to the property as a whole. Section 31 pops up in Discovery and is getting its own show...

    Poor sanitation is a major concern in a disruption of any length. All the basic shit that you barely ever think about like toilet paper, soap, garbage bags and the like are really important. Bleach (lots of uses), hand sanitizer and even toothpaste are worth considering. Do you wear contacts...

    Bah, I mean the Obsidian Order. I forgot the names. So in the DS9 relaunch books Garak is in charge of the Obsidian Order.

    Yeah, which would be an interesting little twist. The only people that know about that are Sisko, Garak and some elements of Starfleet Command. A reveal later that more aid was not given for fear that information would eventually leak (especially with Garak now leading the Tal Shiar) would make...

    Given the Romulans joined the war against the Dominion including showing up at a key moment once or twice plus the events of Nemesis you'd think they'd have some credit to burn on a little humanitarian aid.

    1917 (2019)

    I was 100% in until the first fade to black and we're in the basement. It's not uncommon for action films to take a breather but I was really just waiting for the story to get back moving again. It's still super good though. For me there's always something melancholy surrounding stories of the...

    You can't swing pipe like that and then back down. We can talk about whether or not he should have made that tweet (let's go with perhaps not) but once you've thrown the baby out with the bathwater there's no reason to try and pull it back out of the drain with a coat hanger. That goose is cooked.

    Fighting for market share with The Man in The High Castle for some reason? Read the synopsis on Wikipedia for the book and I'm not entirely sure the point. If you're going to do an alternate history than go hard with it.

    I still like the DS9 episode "Valiant" where the Hitler Youth thinks they're main characters and all die due to their own egos. Jake's in that one! There's also the episode where Jake is revealed to be a coward, almost gets Bashir killed, dooms the patients that needed the generator he and...

    If you're prepping than your pets are part of the equation. Drowning your cat in a bucket of water on day zero is going to be bad for household morale so maybe have some extra dry on hand is all I'm saying.

    That reminds me! The 1964 adaptation of I Am Legend (titled The Last Man on Earth) starring Vincent Price is in the public domain! A super flu rampages across the planet killing almost everyone.

    Yesterday I was having a protein shake and instead of pouring milk in to the cup I poured it in to the container of powder. I took out the little scoop, filled it with milk and dumped it right in to the full container. Then I stood there looking at what I had done. I had been thinking about...

    Trying to go it alone is suicide. If someone is legitimately planning to be well supplied and wait out a major calamity while everyone around them starves than they're going to end up dead right quick. Not only do you have to sleep sometimes but gangs are going to form quickly and looting will...
