    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Why does it need to be some conspiracy theory? You've got financial incentives to create new characters and tell new stories with them so that's what you do. There's no meeting about the best ways to improperly manage legacy characters. Everyone wants to tell a brand new story for a new...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    With A New Hope (then just Star Wars) the deal Lucas had left him with all manner of intellectual property and merchandising rights. I'm talking out of my ass here but I don't think you'd ever get a studio these days to cut you a fat check on a movie and then leave you with all of that to...

    The Color Out of Space (2019)

    I started Roadside Picnic today and really, really like it so far. I tried reading Annihilation after seeing a trailer for the film whenever ago. I got bored right away and gave up on the thing and the movie did not inspire me to pick it back up.

    That's really the mistake that set this in motion. Even with the improvements in technology since 2006 I don't think anyone looked at that server list and thought it was plenty. I'd bet my hat that they are also substantially underestimating how many people are going to just show up around...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Going to end up with them raising the cap even though they don't want to and then delaying the removal of phasing even though they don't want to do that either. It's also a little dangerous of them to base as much as they are on the name reservations. Tons of people aren't married to the three...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    The title is a bit of clickbait but the video itself is very good. The idea that Lucas retains a portion of the merchandising from his original characters thus Disney has an incentive to ditch all that as much as possible in favor of their own creations makes a lot of sense. Also, what...

    What did you just read?

    The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis De Sade. Oscillates between farce and torture porn with nothing redeeming that I can think of. At least it was short.

    RoboCop Returns

    It looked great and was a cool setting but it was so much more fairy tale or parable than a science fiction story. He wanted have this very specific message and it warped the whole story until it didn't really make all that much sense. The medical beds might as well have been magic.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    There's nothing wrong with dungeon finder as a means with which to allow players to easily access obsolete content. When leveling up a new character even if you're stopping to smell the roses you're still getting levels shoved at you as you're dragged from location to location. I don't even have...

    I joked about it before but rerolling to a different server isn't really necessary. Let other folks be the ones that swap to the new server.

    I am happy to see them adding additional servers now rather than at launch or soon after. It demonstrates they're paying attention rather than just counting their money pile.

    I didn't realize that so many streamers have chosen to consolidate on Faerlina. That'll put them, their sycophants and their haters all in the same location while everyone else is free to pick daisies and frolic in the woods. The stream sniping should be top tier.

    I know that comparing EQ and WoW is lame but on the different Everquest progression servers over the years we saw a bunch of different techniques/exploits/optimizations be employed that were not even remotely common knowledge back in their era. WoW is obviously cleaner with a larger playerbase...

    As long as at least one of these guilds is going hard for world first is on a PvP server and loses the race because of PvP I'll be happy. Just looking for a couple complete streamer freakouts over their time being wasted while the race is on.

    Stan could handle being afraid. He just couldn't handle being dirty. edit - it's too bad Stan didn't have more to do in the film. I like the character in the book quite a bit even if he's a wiener in the made for TV miniseries. In the book he's the one that has the idea to clean up the blood in...

    Some of what I really liked about the first season was the extra bit of effort put in to some of what looked to be stock characters. The weird kid doesn't get the girl in the end and was acting weird enough for the bully to have a point, the bully himself has a full character arc etc. The...

    The next level play is to instantly hop to the first overflow server they launch when they realize the numbers they're looking at. I'm sure @BoozeCube is laying out the contingencies as we speak.

    It was really abrupt. I would have preferred it if the joke was more that everyone (as well as the audience) was aware she was gay but Steve was clueless. You can have then this small running gag where he is just not picking up the clues before she drops the hammer on him. I LIKE GIRLS HOW DENSE...

    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.

    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.
