    Yogg-Saron highlights and lowlights generated massive amounts of clicks and did nothing positive for the game. Viral clips and good gameplay are in entirely different hemispheres. At it's release Hearthstone had some RNG with cards like Ragnaros, Sylvanas, Thoughtsteal, Mind Vision, Arcane...

    Mana issues as a means of giving less experienced players a chance at victory is a horrible argument for that mechanic and I'm surprised to see anyone put it forward. It's the worst part of the game and in today's gaming climate it would hold back the entire property. Watching someone get fucked...

    For me it's way, way worse to get fucked by the computer than to get fucked by the cards you shuffled yourself.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The Legion influenced him through the wound he suffered. He thought the whispers he heard were the spirits. They were not. There's no grand strategy though. Saragaras just likes pale blue titties.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    An expansion that, at its end, completely reshuffled around who was on what side and then allowed the players to pick a side for themselves at its conclusion would be pretty cool. One of the things happening with the allied races stuff is the idea that the conflict is growing larger and larger...

    Riot Games MMO

    Yes, it is hard to imagine that their Chinese overlords (Tencent) are going to decide that a MMO is the next direction that Riot Games should take. MMOs are super expensive, take a long time to develop, and we've had enough of them die over the years to fill a graveyard. WoW took 4-5 years to...

    Riot Games MMO

    It's hard to imagine Tencent is going to cut them a massive check to create a brand new MMO when there's so many other ways of expanding the brand. How about a freemium mobile card game? League of Hearthstone? League of Legends the Gathering? What about League of Legends skinned cards that you...

    I haven't played many of Garfield's games but I've liked the ones that I have. If this one happened to be very good and very popular people would just buy piles of decks and you would be playing against the upper end of the bell curve all the time. There would be HearthArena style calculations...

    Scenes from movies you didn't like that stuck with you

    The remake of Solaris was whatever but it does have this really cool scene where the main character, upon meeting his long dead wife on the space station he's been sent to investigate, puts her on an escape pod and sends here off into oblivion. There's something about that reaction to the...

    I do hope that a couple times throughout the expansion we get to check in on Illidan repeatedly stabbing Sargaras in the gibblets as he sits there trapped.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The initial impression I got with the Sargaras cutscene at the end of the expansion was that the part of the sword's influence would be to drive a wedge between the Alliance and the Horde when peace was so close, driving everyone back to war as an act of revenge by Sargaras. The imagery seemed...

    Vanilla being left behind is my experience as well. As a kid when I'd make milkshakes I'd just use all three. Neapolitan shakes have a flavor all their own. Sylvanas isn't a bad person. She just has Cutscene Psychosis and needs help. This guy gets it

You will accompany the envoy, champion." <cutscene begins> BURN IT BURN IT ALL DON'T LET ANY ESCAPE KILL THEIR PETS TOO YES THAT DOG RIGHT THEIR KILL THEIR DOG EAT ALL THE CHOCOLATE OUT OF THEIR...

    Clearly there's a counterattack against Stormheim while the Alliance is assaulting Slyvanas. She saw it coming, kept herself and enough forces for it to look good at Undercity, etc.

    Castle Rock

    The remake is about as good as I think anyone could reasonably hope for. Unfortunately it is very much a modern day horror film in that it is not patient. It has more jump scares than it needs and is louder than it needs to be. It would have been much, much scarier if they just took their time a...

    I found the 40s and 50s so boring I bailed on the derp I was killing time with just to have a name back for the character I decided to boost. 90 to 110 is not a problem at all but holy shit those lower levels were ass. You combine that with being in a crappy zone (Silithus seemed really bad...

    I kinda want to see what the later stories are about as I do have some fondness for Castle Rock.

    It's sorta funny that King blew up Castle Rock in 1991 in Needful Things because he was done with the setting to have a show centered around it get made over a quarter century later. It was the first book he wrote after kicking booze/pills and I guess was his way of moving past that time in his...
