    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Some high tier bait for a WoW argument. The misspelling of Ferrari is just that right pinch of salt.

    People didn't recognize Tom Cruise when he went and delivered packages in preparation for some film. People didn't recognize what's his face from Superman when he was doing a thing in Times Square. A huge part of our sensory experience is context based. Hell, there's a famous example involving...

    Just watched Star Trek Beyond. Was pretty good. Maybe the worst of the reboots but still better Generations, Nemesis, and Insurrection. Overall happy with it.

    The Walking Dead

    I stopped reading the comic for a while after Glenn's death but eventually came back and now like it quite a bit. Maybe the viewing audience will do the same? Those filler episodes though. Holy fuck. I just came back this season to see some Negan after leaving in the season that had the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Streaming is one of many avenues where a "winner take all" effect takes place. Streamers that become popular, however it happens for that person, stay popular because people naturally gravitate towards the streams with the most views. It's a phenomenon very common in entertainment mediums.

    Dollar for dollar I'd rather go back to stocking shelves at Wal-Mart than stream WoW.

    We've all been in a guild before with someone that played constantly and either had a trust fund or welfare paying the bills. WoW is big enough that you can get enough of those kinds of people together to form a guild.

    Well if it's structured dick waving people are excited to compete over than who am I to be the curmudgeon. I need loots though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If it's just dick waving than it seems kinda pointless. Speed running, for example, is incredibly difficult and precise but it also doesn't mean much. It's an entirely self-imposed challenge. If someone is doing stuff no one else can do but only getting bragging rights out of it than that is...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Bro. Bro. Fight Club I feel is a particularly interesting movie because of how controversial it was at release and how completely and utterly its message died.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    How it worked is you would select an item you could claim on the server (Quarm award exp pots were common) and then click on Name or Quantity at the top of the window to shuffle the list of stuff. A new item would be selected but the Claim button would not grey out. After some shuffling you...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    With the new Freeport it looks like their design philosophy was to really try and create a medieval city in terms of size and layout. In that regard they did an alright job. Except it's a fucking asshole pile of fucks to get around in even with a map. It's all style and no function.

    South Park

    Finale was alright. As a conclusion to the series it was a failure as the entire season was a failure but this episode had some jokes and some visual gags that were pretty funny. Laughed a few times, episode moved quickly, fine with it. But I can't ever see someone wanting to go back and...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The dungeon finder thing when leveling up is pretty handy. The last time I was using it you could pick up all the quests for the zone you got dumped into right at the entrance and then the quest dudes also showed up at the end for turn ins.

    That wasn't a heel turn! It was a face turn! Security was definitely all chumps out of some Schwarzenegger flick from the 80's. Mooks every one of them. We never see what happens to the Chief Mook. There's lots of shooting and no reloading. It's not great. Rather than have those action scenes...

    Only thing I'm sad about is we didn't cut back to the control room and see that everyone had suffocated. I fucking love that part in the movie. Makes me laugh every time.

    Having now finished the series I have to say that many of you are very, very good guessers. I had a long conversation with a friend about the show prior to either of us watching the final episode and you guys' theories with a couple lucky guesses of my own and I'm going to look quite a bit...

    It definitely is more of a fairy tale idea than something you can ground in reality. More Wizard of Oz than Issac Asimov. If it's just so Bernard can be a copy of Arnold it's not really necessary either because the narrative wouldn't have required Bernad to be a duplicate in appearance anyway...

    Arnold was able to give them real consciousness and real emotion and that resulted in his death. Ford couldn't change the core code because he didn't understand how it worked to begin with. No one does. He could bury it but that was it. Now long after his death a fail safe Arnold implanted...

    Arnold was pastey white so Ford mixed in some extra melanin and no one could tell. The problem is that he didn't realize that melanin converts cosmic radiation into wisdom and now Bernard has faked his death and is plotting to tear out Ford's spine.

    You know how no one in zombie fiction (usually) has never heard of a zombie before and often never uses the "Z" word at all? This film tackles artificial intelligence almost the same way. It's like no one in this universe has read all the stories or watched all the movies about robots turning on...

    It's probably by design. You bang the host until banging a 10/10 sexbot is boring and then you get on the train. That way you won't take your dick out on the streets of Sweetwater and start raping in broad daylight. We're trying to at least pretend to simulate a Western here.
