I've known a number of campaigns over the years that went that route. There's nothing crazy about it. Typically each person does an adventure's worth of story and cycles out.

This week I read Crash and High Rise both by J.G. Ballard. Crash is about a group of people that are sexually aroused by automobile accidents. Our main character is in a car crash and discovers a new world of sexuality through the merger of sex, violence, technology and celebrity. It's...

Have you considered DMing yourself?

Well fuck, where you taking a piss when we were writing up the script? That's way better.

Comic ended a few months ago. Comic managed to stay readable throughout its duration and the ending was a super swerve which I appreciate. No one knew the last issue was the last issue because Image had sent out fake synopsis of future issues to the distributors.

Is the vulpera mount a llama?

Well, I hope one of their racials is crit resistance or less damage from crits. There's nothing vulnerable!

No Vulpera Demon Hunters, content unplayable.

Laughed like a mental patient at "dad, you've covered in blood and honey. Did you kill Winnie the Pooh?." Stan's no-sells crack me up every time.

Yeah, I like brick shithouse Superman too. He looks like he's leaped right off of the page.

If Warner Brothers is open to non-cinematic universe non-special effects driven spectacle comic book films might I then suggest a gritty reboot of the 1960s television show?

Reread The Shining in anticipation for Doctor Sleep next month. It had been over fifteen years since I had first read it and it was definitely slower than I remembered. Now that I'm older I have a lot more empathy for Jack not wanting to bail on his job at the Overlook when a few spoopy things...

If you think you can handle it

Something like ClassicPlus would only be on the table quite a few years from now when the company is just stone out of shit to do. Post Mists of Pandaria being released on the Classic servers levels of "we've got fucking nothing." I personally think that a parallel time line starting from the...

Now that they've gotten the ball rolling it's too much easy content to not release. Retail expansion Summer 2020, TBC 2021, Retail 2022, WotLK 2023.

This is one of my favorite movie reviews of all time.

They got sick of "when's the next Plinkett review" years and years ago and they obviously don't want to get pigeonholed in to just doing that one kind of review over and over a la Cinema Sins. There's nothing wrong with having a niche or putting out consistent content but they went broader. In...

Flow My Tears the Policeman Said by Phillip K. Dick. Dystopian society with science fiction elements and drug use. You know, standard Dick. I've really liked the few short stories of his I've read but I didn't really like this and I didn't really like A Scanner Darkly either. Wasn't too long or...

I ran in to that problem as well. I got in there once and even during peak hours the pickings were slim for a second go.

REMINDS ME OF A STORY

Oh, tell me all about Michael Brown.

I've said it before but I think if you did a ClassicPlus server with increased difficulty and a few more modern bells and whistles you could drag everyone back in again. I don't expect to see anything big out of Blizzard for quite a few years though. They're going to be alternating retail...

"Yo dawg but what about these logs" is pathetic in a way that borders on transcendent. It's like the blinders we never knew we were wearing were removed from our eyes and the world will never be the same. Thank you Ossoi. When it comes to being the worst you sir are the best.

Pet coyotes, glass half full! Feels like I've ran in to a lot of burly folks with spoons in my life.

The first adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front from 1930 has an extended battle that was so fucking long, loud and violent that I taken aback by it. I guess back then they didn't even know to tone it down a bit for audiences.

The new Horde will be a democracy in which YOU, a Champion of the Horde, gets to cast votes to help determine the path forward! GRIND DEMOCRACY POWER TO LEVEL UP YOUR MYSTICAL BALLOT

Rezzes in WoW work the same way they work in Dungeons and Dragons - gotta click accept. edit - with the level squish also do a spec squish so everyone's just got two with maybe three for druid, then in later years you can start to portion out that vacant design space in the form of new classes...

At some point I'm going to have to give the series another run through. One of the themes that other people picked up on right away is the difference between the lessons Walt teaches his real son juxtoposed by the lessons we he's teaching his proxy son - often in the same episode. I also, at the...

Disc is basically what I'd expect a necromancer heal spec to look like. A reskin and some new ability names and you're there.

Jaina's undead brother get everyone killed yet while also exposing Baine as a traitor as Sylvanas set up from the start? edit - bah, see Baine already got found out

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.
