    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    When I showed up at the ass end of Legion it was like that as well. The story was chopped up in to half a dozen pieces that I could all advance independently. It's a shame it didn't get much better. Being able to check a little "present the story in order" box would be cool to have for the mega...

    We'll see if there's a super spaz that will try and set up a script to swipe the name the moment the other party frees the name.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Doing nothing makes the most sense for sure. There's a lot of negativity around WoW streamers. It could very well business sense to not reserve names.

    He had a bunch of people trying to get the name for him plus he's got dollars. If he doesn't have it for launch I would be surprised. Honestly, I don't really have a problem with twitch streamers that have unique names being able to reserve one name on a single server.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I do think the system for mythic dungeons is a very reasonable compromise. There's at least some interaction (looking for X with Y scores), you are accepted or declined, a couple people need to actually run there and (in my experience) people are a little better behaved on the run itself.

    I don't mind some help in finding a group. It's the "click a button, get automatically ported to the dungeon, all the quest NPCs are at the zone in, do the linear dungeon content that you can't really fail, no one says anything to anyone, turn in all the quests, get dumped back right where you...

    What did you just read?

    I picked up Ball Four by Jim Bouten after it was recommended in the celebrity death thread (Bouten had passed away in July). @Serpens had said it was the funniest thing he had ever read and I like occasionally listening to something on a topic I have a don't know/don't care relationship with and...

    It was impressive (and a bit of a surprise) that enough other guilds coordinated to also get in to ST the first night but you guys weren't going to take down Ventani with what you brought.

    Politics aside his book Spaceship Zombie Wasteland is awesome and he did the reading for the audiobook. One of the stories he tells, "The Victory Tour", is about a booking he landed at a club in Canada after coming in 2nd on Star Search (or something). The club owner is a shitbag, the crowds...

    The start of the server is a fine time to give PvP a chance. It's going to take a while before you're getting popped by bored level 60 rogues while you try and get your ten bear asses. The grab ass mass combat could be really fun before the battlegrounds open up down the line.

His solution to the problem of needing more time to evacuate some settlers is to request third party arbitration...

    I liked having lots of races and variant subraces in DnD and I like the allied races in WoW but there is already a quite a few of them with more on the way. In a couple years the roster is going to be absurdly bloated. I don't particularly give a fuck but I think it's something they should be...

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

    The core problem I have with Death Proof is that we spend all this time in the first part getting to know the characters through dialogue that is written like how a group of friends talks. To an outsider it's semi-opaque. We don't fully grasp the little references, in jokes and the like. Just as...

    If you're a movie aficionado/movie maker/actor/film buff type I think there's a lot to like about it. I just wasn't that jazzed about hanging around on a TV set with Rick Dalton as he films an episode of Gunsmoke or whatever.

    I thought it was really, really bad. Hanging out with Brad Pitt as he tools around Beverly Hills with a bitchin' soundtrack was the only stuff that I liked. His dog was also pretty boss. I think Tarantino made a movie for his filmmaker/actor buddies and I just happened to wander in off the...

    The story is also way, way worse. Having your character ascend to the pinnacle of their class, taking charge of the command structure and quest for powerful historical relics was cool.

    I just mean that if you were Limit and your conclusion was that the difference in programmer talent made the difference in the world first race than the next logical step would be to employ a couple for a week or two during the next content release cycle.

    I really hope that wasn't the case. I don't want to see teams needing to hire programmers for the race to be competitive if they don't have it already in house. That is taking things further when they're already too far as it is.

    The last time around Method was saying that a couple disc priests was like getting another dps in the raid for free. That's a little bit of hyperbole but if the math is just super, super tight it seems reasonable that discipline would be the healer of world firsts. Makes me a bit sad as I...
