Yeah, he rewrote part of the first book so it made more sense. I've never picked up Wind Through the Keyhole (book eight, sits between 4 and 5 in terms of timeline) but I've heard it's decent?

I guess I'll use a spoiler but I really don't think it matters.

I will hold a grudge forever over Stephen King tweeting this prior to the release of the film. It's actually impressive that it can still piss me off years later but here we are.

I've read some of King's writing on, um, writing and he is of the opinion that evil is ultimately childish, petulant and self-destructive. Randall Flagg's plans have to crumble to dust because he's evil. Creation is an impossible task for him. His very essence runs counter. That being a theme in...

King's written some of my favorite stories ever. It's just that when he fucks up he fucks up really badly. His books are often too long, a few of them are kinda dumb and when you mix in a really shit ending you've got yourself quite the problem. "The man in black fled across the desert and the...

Seeing some Dark Knight Returns influences in that scene, probably sold me on seeing it in the theater.

Finished season two, liked it, have no idea what was up with the lesbian subplot. It was like Netflix gave her the contractually obligated amount of screen time to maintain Anna Torv's contract? I didn't hate those scenes or anything. They just didn't build to anything, go anywhere or tie in to...

I thought it was really, really bad. It had a good mix of practical effects and CGI. The sound design was really good. I could see its budget up there on the screen. It was just too fucking long and the dialogue was awful on top of it not being scary at all. The first 20 minutes were really...

They need to just give up the removal of layering for phase two and take the servers up to their max technological capabilities. You can make the removal of layering a goal for the future but the value in setting that as a fixed event in phase two is a mistake. Frame it as a compliment. "We knew...

Earlier in the year I read Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. He's the guy that wrote The Terror which would become the AMC television show about a lost antarctic expedition. It had a similar premise in that a group of kids combat something supernatural that's killing them over the course of a...

The first half of the 1990 made for TV movie is pretty good. The 2017 remake (part one, haven't seen the second part yet) is also pretty good. A four hundred or so page fan edit of the book that was only the stuff with them as kids plus the different interlude portions where Mike is...

I don't have anything to add regarding hockey but I think this version of Tricky is superior

As long as there's some combination of Mike, Jay or Rich than I don't mind guests. When you've got a guest or guests plus the B team I'm less interested.

Next Summer/Fall we'll get another retail expansion and the Summer after that we'll get TBC, repeat until no longer profitable.

I'm hoping the Pantheon nerf involves making his model a little smaller.

They wouldn't have to do anything from scratch, not right away at least. They could split the time line at any particular expansion or expansions and use all of the zones, items, models, animations and the like as a starting point - something akin to The Legend of Zelda and then the second...

That's kind of disappointing. I was relistening to some of the audiobook while playing WoW Classic in anticipation of the film basically just skipping all the chapters I knew were deadwood. In practice that resulted in skipping stuff that dealt primarily with them as adults. Chapter one with...

I'm pretty sure we're staying right @BoozeCube?

Party like it's 2017.

I wish I had used a guide (and questie) for the first bit of the game. The Barrens ran me around really bad. It's cleared up a lot as I've left that zone behind but I really blew a ton of time doing very little.

So the joke is "hey, you like anime too, how about checking out this porn comic I like, let's see if our tastes are similar, oh you don't even understand my reference, get fucked normie." How esoteric.

The queue still has some size to it but it took a lot longer to get there. It won't take many transfers for it to be no problem showing up to play at any time.

Sending someone mail they don't want is a form of rape.

That's kind of how I feel about Kripp. He's making the best damned buggy whips you ever saw but the Hearthstone market is shrinking. Also I really like that speech and any opportunity I get to post it is aces.

Let's assume there's this pod of southern conservative closeted racists out there and we are going set their 2nd Amendment rights in conflict with legal mass black gun ownership. "They'll just shoot each other even more than they already do. Who cares."

The transfers are best taken advantage of by people that are mostly solo and found themselves on a mega pop server by happenstance. Trying to move entire guilds can't be a good idea unless you believe that Whitemane is going to end up low pop after.

There's a limit, yeah. By their own admission they are not using their tech to its highest potential. Their reasoning is that if they have big layering now when they go to remove it as part of phase two the queues will be massive and they'll be right back where they started.

Man, I don't know. Big age/culture gaps can lead to some real hilarity.

You don't remember Charlie Murpy's True Hollywood Stories? There was a spot for a while there when every chat channel in every online game had some serious I'M RICK JAMES BITCH action all up in it.

There's been a number of "boomer dad plays classic zoomer son plays bfa" things made up but in truth it's just a very popular meme at its foundation. Asking what it has to do with WoW would be like asking what Rick James had to do with WoW back in 2004. It's just the popular thing everyone's...

They are iterations of the Wojack meme (the feels guy). In terms of practice the boomer is the old guy (Gen X usually) and the zoomer is the young guy. Most of the jokes and references are along that young/old axis.

They need to open up server transfers off of Whitemane, Faerlina, Fairbanks and any of the other chronically overpopulated servers.

Combine that with the ability to play retail while in queue for classic. Get some eyes on your product.

My queue was a half hour (queued just about a half hour ago, got in). Last night I checked around 11:30 central and the queue was still 9000+ but at 2 in the morning it was gone.

I look forward to the day when I can craft a Black Lotus for the very affordable price of fifty mythic wildcard redemptions.

I've been hopping about some and anyone that just wants to play can play. Anything below full is instant. Some of the full servers tonight had thirty minute or lower queues. Two new servers is fine but it's not what they need to do. They need to open up Faerlina, Whitemane, Herod and any of the...

Know a guy that set up a record player to push a button over and over. Was hokey but it got the job done. Good luck catching that one, Warden!

I've wanted to go back and rewatch all the old Disney shorts for a long time. I used to rent a bunch of different VHS tapes as a small child and I'd really like to check them out again in HD.

Those names make more sense for Alliance I think (also I think Whitemane Privilege is perfect). Horde should be more along the lines of "Where Da Whitemane At?" or ""Problem, Whitemane?"

I think this is the spot where it was removed as a talent but granted as a normal ability at level 40 or 42?
