    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That really sucks. I could see them nerfing it to like 2% per item but taking it away completely really sucks.

    Murderhobos.

    Oh yeah that reminds me, make sure there are occasional other groups of murderhobos in the game world. At one point in the above mentioned campaign, they loot a pendant with the symbol of the god of Greed and Games on it, and it ends up being a cursed item inducting them into a world-wide...

    Murderhobos.

    Post your best and/or worst murderhobo stories, or ideally, how to turn the tables on problematic murderhobos. Pretty much every campaign I ever tried to run ended up with a 2 or 3 person party consisting of some kind of fighter/rogue hybrid with some kind of arcane spellcaster who spent the...

    1982 Tron vs 2010 Tron thread

    Yeah the third act of Tron: Legacy is a real letdown from the first and second acts which are basically perfect.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think this is a stupid way of thinking. They delayed Diablo 3 for how many years only to release AND THEN WE DOUBLED IT Inferno difficulty and an absolutely terrible economic system that then had to get ripped out in the first expansion and replaced with "woops now there is no economy." D3...

    I dunno, do we really want to go back to Old Blizzard delaying games for 3+ years only to have to rebalance the shit out of them post-release anyway?

    If this is a long term investment strategy don't I want things that are already down for the year, or more specifically, things that haven't recovered yet?

    As awesome as Jadzia was, it did make sense for them to have a Trill get a new host at some point in the series.

    Well, it's down over 10% from it's all time high. If it regressed towards the mean over a a few years, it would make that up and then some.

    You don't have to be #1 to make money streaming. Someone who gets 2k viewers a night and streams 4-5 nights a week lives fairly comfortably. But who knows what the future holds as far as revenue splits etc.

    All I'm saying is the barrier to entry is lower, the opportunity cost is pretty low, and you might learn something of value in the process. There's not a big harm in trying, as long as you don't make it the sole focus of your life through a large portion of your early productive years.

    Twitch.tv

    Yeah but as far as streaming is concerned, there's very little cost to failure. So what if the kid tops out at 50 viewers? It probably had super low opportunity cost (they were going to spend that time playing video games anyway) and they probably learned a bit about technology and also...

    I'm trying to build a dream desk, and need various sized finished work tops to build it. Currently I am using some plywood I cut for prototyping and did a rush job finishing and threw on top of an 2-tier old desk frame that I hacksawed down to be the general size I want. I would like to build...

    Ninja was making 10 million a year @ Twitch. Microsoft paid Ninja at least 30 million and likely closer to 50 million to switch.

    You completely missed what I'm saying. I know how economics work. I'm not saying Microsoft should have spent the money feeding people. I'm just putting quantities of money in proportional scale.

    I didn't say they purchased it for billions but they definitely spent billions of dollars on it over the 4 years they owned it, with operating costs, payments to Partners, etc. They paid Ninja 50 million alone for a contract he never even got to play out. If you don't think their total...

    The fact that some people get paid 10s of millions of dollars to play video games and didn't even have to play out their entire contract is really showing how ephemeral and distorted our economy has gotten. Think of how much money these huge companies have that they can just throw amounts of...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    The only way to save the Star Wars franchise is to make a bunch of solid video games and hope people forget about EPs 8+9 and Solo. Then you can do a new story with a Jon Favreau or Taika Waititi directing from there, after a few years of palette cleansing.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah college IT sucks. I did that for 18 months. Trying to run an enterprise scale network when you need to find a union guy to open closets with your switches in them is a joke. The thing I hated most about K-12 IT is that every department was starved for funds while the SPEDs could buy top...
