Booze's stream was like that episode of Futurama where time kept lurching forward.

I want it to also sound like this whale do these things for me Blizzard and I've got a shiny new Andrew Jackson waiting for ya

We are to understand that, as it was in era, you cannot make an Alliance character and a Horde character on the same server if that server is a PvP server?

I figure some folks have friends and do things with those friends like helping them level characters so they can get to the part of the game they're looking to get to faster.

Doesn't Guild Wars 2 have a linked auction house?

They've got a real thing with closing doors.

I've seen people leave a guild for greener pastures when things got rocky. As this thread has gone on the conversations have gotten more and more bitter.

It's tough to participate in a thread where everything is subtext for years old grievances.

It bothered me quite a bit that we go from young Danny at the start of the book to complete failure drug addict drunk adult Danny with the only explanation being that he couldn't handle living with the Shining. Meanwhile we're introduced to Abra, a girl more powerful than he ever was, and she's...

That's actually an amusing direction to go as King hated Kubrick's version and this trailer is full of references to it. I've bitched about Doctor Sleep a few times but if the Overlook is still standing in the show that will hopefully mean we'll get an ending that isn't a complete and total...

Legion would have made a lot of sense as the conclusion of World of Warcraft. You've seen your character rise through the ranks over the years until they have reached the pinnacle of their classes hierarchy. You've sought out and obtained the most powerful weapons in the history of your world...

What I really expect is for Blizzard to alternate releasing an expansion for retail WoW and then Classic WoW. BfA was August last year, Classic is this August, new retail expansion in late Summer 2020 and then The Burning Crusade in 2021. Nothing new, no forked development alternate future...

I continue to hope that Classic is popular enough that Activism asks some really tough questions about the current product and its direction.

I caught Under the Silver Lake after the folks at RLM reviewed it and thought it was fine. It had this "David Lynch reimagines Slums of Beverly Hills" thing going but with hipsters. Sorta slow, sorta long, sorta weird, decent soundtrack.

There's always

In a vacuum I don't hate the idea but the game itself feels almost plagued by its own impermanence. Things change frequently. Those changes are sometimes big enough to reorient a big chunk of the game. Between the introduction of The New and the discarding of The Old over and over again it's...

Soma is a hell of a drug. To go even further there is an Island where people that don't fit in with modernity are sent to pursue their interests. Vanilla Island we'll call it.

"But I like the inconveniences." "We don't," said the Controller. "We prefer to do things comfortably." "But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." "In fact," said Mustapha Mond...

The first couple batches of EQ progression servers were just full to the brim with big egos and big ideas. Tons and tons of people thought they were way better than they were and way more hardcore than they were. Most of them are old hat now but there were tons of tricks and techniques being...

Kripp (you know, the Hearthstone guy) has talked about snipers a few times. There's a guild of sorts of dedicated snipers organized through discord that work together to grief streamers. The WoW streamers are big enough, Classic is popular enough and interference easy enough that I expect to see...

I really liked watching them playing the Friday the 13th game but nothing else. There was enough downtime to fit in stories, the subject matter I felt was RLM appropriate and they were competent playing it. Something like Jack playing a five dollar wing suit simulator, on the other hand, had...

That's the point though. The power of addons necessitates high end encounters having tons and tons of shit going on.

I leveled a rogue for a while because I thought mace spec looked really cool. Maces! On a rogue! EVEN MORE STUNS. It taught me that trash exp mobs benefit from diminishing returns on stuns. I was very disappointed in my lesson.

Pet Semetary (the remake). The first half is a lifeless xerox. The second half is pretty awful but I wasn't bored. John Lithgow did a better job than I was expecting but all of the pathos of the original film and the book is absent. Best part was the cover of the Ramones "Pet Semetary" during...

Setting aside the accident and the pathological society built on lies the miniseries demonstrates the incredible willpower of the Soviet Union and its people. If you look at this and see Donald Trump because of the negatives (an allegory that wouldn't and doesn't make sense) than you're not...

I love Divinity Original Sin (and am halfway through my Nth play through as I type this) but I didn't like the sequel at all. I went through it once and found it a frustrating experience with numerous gimmick encounters and that goddamn fucking squirrel. The first game had a problem where you...

He's streamed mythic progression as a ret paladin for many a night. He retribution limit has been reached.

Stannis makes the offer later but earlier Robb just went ahead and did it. That decree never turns up again in the show and has yet to turn up again in the books.

Having Cersei parallel Mad King Aerys and then having Jaime kill her at least fits the trajectories of both characters.

In the books and in the show as well Robb Stark sends out an official decree legitimizing Jon Snow as Jon Stark and releasing him from his duty at the Night's Watch. The legitimacy of that decree and its implications would do all the same things and it's all right there.
