    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    How can you guys not like Mists of Zandalaria where there's sort of a war going on kinda but if you thought the prerelease stuff was going to set the tone you'd be dead fucking wrong hope you like Jamaicans. Sylvanas going from torching a capital city and world tree to just standing around...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I get that they want people to keep playing and one of the ways to do that is to provide a carrot through a system of continuous progress. I just think they fucked up the numbers on this one and the man behind the curtain has no clothes.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Perhaps in theory but in practice they set a goal you can't reach until they say you can. Damn near everything you do can include Azerite as a reward include a few tasks such as Expeditions where the primary reward is Azerite. Designing a grind you are not meant to complete in the tier you are...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They fucked up the math so the grind feels illegitimate. The final unlock on a 325 chest piece is 21. That unlock makes the armor 330. By the time anyone would have gotten that far they had the next tier. The final unlock of that is 27. That's so much grinding as to be ridiculous. It makes more...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It feels like it's set up so that once you hit max rep with anything that's the end of doing those missions so over time you need less and less resources. Right now though even having done a ton of world quests and with one rep maxed I'm living hand to mouth. I think just abandoning the Azerite...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The RNG on missions leaves something to be desired and the loot you can equip champions with is lackluster. I didn't play any Warlords of Draenor. Was the system more complex during that time? As someone just showing up I thought the Legion stuff was pretty cool. I'm definitely disappointed with...

    They remade Disturbia? I swear to god for the last decade I thought this movie of Shia's was named Susperia and was really confused by this thread.

    Summer of 84 (2018)

    I saw it a few days ago and didn't really like it. It felt like a movie from 20 or 30 years ago and not in the good way. You've got your four kids (the leader, tough kid, fat kid, nerd) and the leader thinks that one of the guys on his paper route, a police officer, is the serial killer that is...

    He didn't really have an out. Either the time she demanded would keep him from practicing, he would lose his spot, and she'd dump him or he'd ignore her and focus on esports and she'd dump him. Let's hope he had a good time while it lasted.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I leveled a character from scratch during Mists of Pandaria and really liked it. Leveling a character from scratch again I gave up in the 50s and recycled the character's name for the toon I was boosting with BfA. I was not prepared for how slow those levels were. Demon Hunters just starting...

    Possible Star Trek Next Generation reboot

    They set the stage to bail on that problem (that they gave themselves) pretty early on when Kes met other Ocampa that were living with the other Caretaker. The leader was much older than one typically lives and didn't look like the crypt keeper in his old age.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is the longest active sub I've had since Classic/TBC. I played maybe one month of WotLK, zero Cataclysm, two months of Mist of Pandaria, less than an hour of Warlords, showed up after Legion was already over, and have had a sub for maybe the last two months of that up to today. Three years...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wait, so you've caught up and understand that every Warfront is a piece of 340 loot plus the weekly quest for a 370? And this content included at least one World Boss as well as a run through Arathi killing rares for more handouts. Now that you're up to speed I can continue. The point that I am...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I did three Warfronts today, in total they took less than an hour, it was three pieces of 340 loot plus a 370 from the quest. My Arathi clear was three other pieces of 340. The one world boss I did also paid out.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    As a casual derp that primarily benefited from these catch up mechanics it really hurt my enjoyment of the expansion thus far to have my meager progress all negated. I was proud of what I had scraped together, the dailies I had ran for the rep to buy 335 gear, and the crawl up from normal to...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Nineteen minutes of boss fight with tons of phases including little puzzle sections. It looks both incredible and miserable. There's been a few games over the years that I really liked that died a death or that I can't get anyone to ever play again so I have some empathy for those of you that...

    Terminator (2019)

    You can actually pinpoint the moment the movie starts to suck. It's when Sarah Conner and Kyle Reese have that awkward dialogue in the locker room after vanquishing the T-1000. That first act I really liked and then when it came time for the dialogue of the characters and the chemistry of the...

    I know how WoW works. I've been playing WoW on and off since it's release. I was still surprised today at how much today invalidated prior effort. Tons of Honorbound rep, tons of AP and free 340 epics make me feel a little foolish for grinding expeditions and enough dailies for pathfinder.

    I was tinkering around with what I had available and thought it might be neat to combine the talent that upgrades Shadow Word Pain into Purge the Wicked which then spreads when you cast Penance on that target with the talent for Penance that makes it four ticks instead of three along with the...

    Like Ronne said there's no deckbuilding. You buy a deck and that's it. It is fixed. The cards are all marked with a unique scan thing. When you win three Level One tournaments with that deck it is now Level Two and ineligible to be played at Level One tournaments. Thinking about it a little bit...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Starting the new films with a soft reboot that included the old cast is not looking like a great decision now that they are two films in and looking to finish out the new trilogy. It handcuffed them and they didn't get enough out of the old characters. Now those characters are used up and Carrie...

    Either I'm your opposite or you're mine. I get what he's doing. By baking sealed deck RNG into your game you're opening yourself up to the possibility that some decks are grossly more powerful than others. If there's three trillion variations of decks (or whatever) than some of those are going...

    Those hack frauds at RLM had the franchise pegged when The Force Awakens comes out - there's just not much to do with the franchise. They're stuck with Jedi/Sith, Rebels/Empire, doomsday weapons, walkers, lightsabers, and the Force. In Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home the crew slingshots back...

    He very much liked how during the early days of Magic you could buy some cards, play some games, and then have an entirely different experience as you interacted with more and more people. There would be cards you never saw being used in ways you didn't think of and isn't this all so special. He...

    When I got Revered with Honorbound I went and bought all the location unlock scrolls not realizing they were 100 war resources each. Between those and the upgrade missions that followed I bankrupted myself. It's taken a bit to get back into the black.

    Twitter baffles me. A major director attached to one of the greatest film franchises in history is out on twitter taking shots at the community. How is that even something you're paying attention to, how do you have time for any of this nonsense, and why are you continuing to inflame the fanbase?

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I rewatched Return of the Jedi when RLM put out a commentary track for it and I was not prepared for how much of a detriment all the changes were to that film. The ending has a fucking Jar Jar Binks cameo along with Hayden Christensen as well. It was bad.
