His story is cute. HEY CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET THAT SWORD ITEM GUY? NOPE.

For having started out as half a step above a throwaway character Nog had, from episode one to the show's conclusion, a major character arc. I really like the episode where he and Jake end up on the USS Valiant behind enemy lines with all the 24th century Hitler Youth kids who get themselves...

I'm prepping for TBC.

If the rats are only willing to push the lever you built for the food pellet that it sometimes spits out that isn't much of an endorsement for the activity.

Changes are not in the cards but I do like how on retail if there's an imbalance you get a scaling bonus for turning on PvP. For the low low price of getting popped three or four times while leveling I was getting I think 30% bonus exp? You can give people reasons to be the underdog. With very...

Warhammer Online had a good idea when they tried to go the mass PvP route. It's too bad it didn't work. A game that was all about literal army versus army combat would be really cool.

Oh nos, the force has gone dormant/vanished/balanced/etc. Until we restart a new trilogy in a few years. The Force Returns!

They love the film and their re:view is a glowing endorsement. Hopefully once it makes it past the automated part and an actual human being at WB sees what's going on they drop the claim.

Not having a from-stealth opener and a real (non-dot) finisher until level 32 was sorta lame but no complaints thus far. Being able to do all the things is sorta neat. edit - bear tanking seems fine

I'd agree with Chuk. It's long but it isn't difficult to follow or anything.

Little ironworks, no standpipe, no tracker brothers.

The interludes are some of my favorite parts of the book. Not doing more than an easter egg or two was such a mistake. How about this. Between the first and second films we film as a YouTube short Mike's grandfather telling him the story of The Fire at the Black Spot. Grandpa is in a hospital...

Going some version of the LFR/Normal/Heroic/Mythic difficulty slider I don't think would be anywhere near as popular as a blanket Vanilla+ hardmode.

EverQuest eventually introduced substantial +difficulty buffs to bosses to compensate for similar issues. When a new wave of Vanilla servers comes out some time a year or years from now I wouldn't be surprised at all if it had some variety of hard-mode raid difficulty modifier.

I've been through the 1st edition Tomb of Horrors I think twice. One run was serious and the other was a bunch of grabass. Quite a few years after I got myself a hold of the module and started reading through it. This passage here stood right out - The Tomb of Horrors may be many things but...

Reminder that the book Fire and Blood was bad.

Damn, I had no idea he was 75. When I was a kid I used to think the video for You Might Think was the greatest thing ever.

Yeah, it's awful. Completely fucks up with what you expect as a healer. How can he be dead? My heal went off. My heal went off.

Only server still flagged "Full" and still with a queue a this hour is Whitemane. You folks sure can pick a server. Goddamn.

There has to be a CFO or CEO and a posse of bean counters (plus all the shareholders) with incentive to keep those tards from fucking the chicken.

The server I picked as a backup for when I couldn't get on Whitemane, Westfall, has crept up from High to Full during prime time. I'd be damned interested in seeing the Classic numbers since launch. Have they really trended up instead of down...

It's not as fancy as the 40 man squad on the boat or camping a streamer's whole world but I really like the subtlety.

If they were willing to go hard on the murder of Adrian Mellon they should have gone closer to the book in that scene - That would have made an impression on the audience.

Applying a multi-level marketing strategy to World of Warcraft, just what everyone wanted. Sell Amway for titles, pets and more!

Yeah, he rewrote part of the first book so it made more sense. I've never picked up Wind Through the Keyhole (book eight, sits between 4 and 5 in terms of timeline) but I've heard it's decent?

I guess I'll use a spoiler but I really don't think it matters.

I will hold a grudge forever over Stephen King tweeting this prior to the release of the film. It's actually impressive that it can still piss me off years later but here we are.

I've read some of King's writing on, um, writing and he is of the opinion that evil is ultimately childish, petulant and self-destructive. Randall Flagg's plans have to crumble to dust because he's evil. Creation is an impossible task for him. His very essence runs counter. That being a theme in...

King's written some of my favorite stories ever. It's just that when he fucks up he fucks up really badly. His books are often too long, a few of them are kinda dumb and when you mix in a really shit ending you've got yourself quite the problem. "The man in black fled across the desert and the...

Seeing some Dark Knight Returns influences in that scene, probably sold me on seeing it in the theater.

Finished season two, liked it, have no idea what was up with the lesbian subplot. It was like Netflix gave her the contractually obligated amount of screen time to maintain Anna Torv's contract? I didn't hate those scenes or anything. They just didn't build to anything, go anywhere or tie in to...

I thought it was really, really bad. It had a good mix of practical effects and CGI. The sound design was really good. I could see its budget up there on the screen. It was just too fucking long and the dialogue was awful on top of it not being scary at all. The first 20 minutes were really...

They need to just give up the removal of layering for phase two and take the servers up to their max technological capabilities. You can make the removal of layering a goal for the future but the value in setting that as a fixed event in phase two is a mistake. Frame it as a compliment. "We knew...

Earlier in the year I read Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. He's the guy that wrote The Terror which would become the AMC television show about a lost antarctic expedition. It had a similar premise in that a group of kids combat something supernatural that's killing them over the course of a...

The first half of the 1990 made for TV movie is pretty good. The 2017 remake (part one, haven't seen the second part yet) is also pretty good. A four hundred or so page fan edit of the book that was only the stuff with them as kids plus the different interlude portions where Mike is...

I don't have anything to add regarding hockey but I think this version of Tricky is superior

As long as there's some combination of Mike, Jay or Rich than I don't mind guests. When you've got a guest or guests plus the B team I'm less interested.

Next Summer/Fall we'll get another retail expansion and the Summer after that we'll get TBC, repeat until no longer profitable.

I'm hoping the Pantheon nerf involves making his model a little smaller.
