    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The entire tree seems pointless. The Legion felt like it had some choices. Did Warlords have an even fancier one?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If I remember correctly the prereq is three different commanders and the reason it says two now is because you've killed one. I think we're another full cycle away. That's what, an extra month?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Your mouse pointer will change to a little saw when you are hovering over a tree you can chop and the tree itself will change color a little bit when highlighted. I don't think the whole play field has trees you can cut down either, mostly around the lumber mill and enemy positions.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I wasn't expecting Classic until 3rd or 4th quarter next year. It's still a ways off but maybe the popularity of bootleg servers and the potential revenue is causing them to pick up the pace?

    Joker (2019)

    The Joker is the child of Mime and Marionette of the Watchmen universe, character backstory officially backfilled I guess the writer got pissy that people figured out his big twist months ago and is changing it so ha.

    Joker (2019)

    This stuff is all 100% okie dokie. Like I said at the start I just wish writers would stop making the Joker more and more cartoonishly absurdly edgelordily evil so Batman's ideals and the failure of literally anyone on the planet to take permanent action wasn't so fucking dumb. This feels...

    Joker (2019)

    Honestly the best explanation I've come across is that if Batman killed the Joker than the Joker would still have to show up at least as many times as before (maybe even more after his death) and Batman would eventually be killing him two or three times an issue. The Joker is too popular to go...

    Joker (2019)

    It's an Elsewords style story that represents one of Batman's fears. This is going to be mainline continuity however - Three Jokers at once! THREE

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I've watched a few different people play and it looks pretty good. I'm seeing people reload a lot which I like. That's what you get for jumping that Shambling Mound you derp. Game looks like it will kill you dead.

    Joker (2019)

    One of the subthemes of the two characters that makes an appearance from time to time is the idea that the Joker only exists because Batman exists. I always think of the scene in the Dark Knight Returns where we see the news reports about the reappearance of Batman slowly restore a...

    Joker (2019)

    These days Batman's refusal to kill just makes him look dumber and dumber as the Joker is written more and more hideously evil. Grant Morrison's interpretation of that character is so over the top evil we're just out of reasons for the character to still be alive. By the end of Alan Moore's the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just like filling bars. If someone dies it's usually connected to them fucking up a mechanic or someone standing next to them fucking up a mechanic. It's usually not my awful play that doomed an attempt. That's what I tell myself at least.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    In Classic a Night Elf Hunter with Shadowmeld active could cast an Aimed Shot without leaving stealth (you lost stealth when the casting was completed instead of when it was started) and that made Night Elf Hunters almost their own subclass of Hunter. Before you even saw them you had taken an...

    They got 'em. These races aren't a bad watch. The angry fails and exuberant successes both make for good viewing.

    Joker (2019)

    I like the suit alright but he's too much clown and not enough joker in the face paint. Harlequins, fools, jesters, jokers, and clowns are not all the same thing and they are not interchangeable. The grin's pretty good but that red clown nose is really out of place.

    Bojack Horseman

    Gina has a few sentences of really critical dialogue with Bojack when they are about to give the interview to explain the footage of her being choked in which she really lays out why people choose to just shut up and move on rather than come forward. But it's barely enough for a single episode...

    Bojack Horseman

    I still like the show even if I wasn't as interested in this season but I'm concerned we'll see Bojack wish to do better and fail continuously as the quality of the show declines. It's what went wrong with Rescue Me. As the series went on it became the Tommy Gavin Misery Parade as we watched him...

    I'm not sure how often the addition of dollars to someone's life has led to them making good decisions after a long stretch of making bad ones. The math's pretty bad on lottery winners.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Streaming is also dollars + notoriety. Between all their people there's 120k+ people watching them. That's a pretty big deal in exchange for someone getting to watch what you do but not hear what you are saying. The guild leader is also at the Redbull Gaming Sphere so you have to figure there's...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    We've all met, played with, and played against a few Asmongolds in our time as gamers. I find something incredibly charming about someone like him finding such success through the unhealthy gamer lifestyle many of us have flirted with at one point or another. He's like an avatar or patron saint...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I hadn't checked but I was operating under the assumption that Exalted would be additional neck level. I was grinding it for that purpose. Now I'm sad. Pair that today with getting a 370 hat that I don't think is an upgrade on my 340 hat and I'm extra sad.

    Bojack Horseman

    By the end of the season I would say that I didn't really like it. Season 4 I thought was just great and I really liked all the different ways they used the versatility of animation to tell stories. This season it felt like a poor imitation of that. We spend the start of the season not really...

    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...
