    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    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...

    I know two-handed axes and maces tend to be better but a staff's not too bad.

    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...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    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.

    Hearthstone

    Daily/weekly/monthly events all automated and ran through the base client that use the exact same multi-deck format as Worlds with rewards including packs, dust, a new version of cards (diamond) with their own unique appearance, and qualifiers for big events up to and including Worlds. Their...

    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...

    "We see some of you are stacking some of these general traits so let's go ahead and put a stop to all that with a 35% nerf." The size of these changes both plus and minus are so big that their testing just has to be ass.

    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...

    The orc unlock quest is mechanically interesting in a few spots even if a bit on the long side.

    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...

    How can you guys not like Mists of Zandalaria where there's sort of a war going on kinda but if you thought the prerelease stuff was going to set the tone you'd be dead fucking wrong hope you like Jamaicans. Sylvanas going from torching a capital city and world tree to just standing around...

    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...

    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...

    Summer of 84 (2018)

    I saw it a few days ago and didn't really like it. It felt like a movie from 20 or 30 years ago and not in the good way. You've got your four kids (the leader, tough kid, fat kid, nerd) and the leader thinks that one of the guys on his paper route, a police officer, is the serial killer that is...

    He didn't really have an out. Either the time she demanded would keep him from practicing, he would lose his spot, and she'd dump him or he'd ignore her and focus on esports and she'd dump him. Let's hope he had a good time while it lasted.

    I leveled a character from scratch during Mists of Pandaria and really liked it. Leveling a character from scratch again I gave up in the 50s and recycled the character's name for the toon I was boosting with BfA. I was not prepared for how slow those levels were. Demon Hunters just starting...

    They set the stage to bail on that problem (that they gave themselves) pretty early on when Kes met other Ocampa that were living with the other Caretaker. The leader was much older than one typically lives and didn't look like the crypt keeper in his old age.

    This is the longest active sub I've had since Classic/TBC. I played maybe one month of WotLK, zero Cataclysm, two months of Mist of Pandaria, less than an hour of Warlords, showed up after Legion was already over, and have had a sub for maybe the last two months of that up to today. Three years...

    Wait, so you've caught up and understand that every Warfront is a piece of 340 loot plus the weekly quest for a 370? And this content included at least one World Boss as well as a run through Arathi killing rares for more handouts. Now that you're up to speed I can continue. The point that I am...

    I did three Warfronts today, in total they took less than an hour, it was three pieces of 340 loot plus a 370 from the quest. My Arathi clear was three other pieces of 340. The one world boss I did also paid out.

    As a casual derp that primarily benefited from these catch up mechanics it really hurt my enjoyment of the expansion thus far to have my meager progress all negated. I was proud of what I had scraped together, the dailies I had ran for the rep to buy 335 gear, and the crawl up from normal to...

    Nineteen minutes of boss fight with tons of phases including little puzzle sections. It looks both incredible and miserable. There's been a few games over the years that I really liked that died a death or that I can't get anyone to ever play again so I have some empathy for those of you that...

    You can actually pinpoint the moment the movie starts to suck. It's when Sarah Conner and Kyle Reese have that awkward dialogue in the locker room after vanquishing the T-1000. That first act I really liked and then when it came time for the dialogue of the characters and the chemistry of the...

    I know how WoW works. I've been playing WoW on and off since it's release. I was still surprised today at how much today invalidated prior effort. Tons of Honorbound rep, tons of AP and free 340 epics make me feel a little foolish for grinding expeditions and enough dailies for pathfinder.
