    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They ran out of time and half-assed all the missing stuff. They did the horde zones first, and it shows.

    Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

    I thought this one was well-executed good fun. Not breaking ground in plot or content, but the action scenes were exceptionally well done. Probably the best part was that it made Deadpool 2 retroactively even funnier

    No, the portals are still there.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    In beta it went battle for lordaeron -> talk to magni to get heart -> intro scenario -> boat to new islands, so talk to magni is next up. Just tested it with charcopy now on beta - you get broken world quests by logging in next to magni and can just hand it right in.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, the scrapper *by itself* would lower prices, both by reducing gold and making more materials, it's just counterbalanced by the all-consuming void of the war supplies quests. It's too early to say if the mission table is going to be as much of a money fountain as BFA, although given...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You are thinking about it the wrong way - it's more gold for you, but it's still zero gold actually being created - you are just moving some created gold from someone else to you. That's the kind of thing they want happening, but you need to be an enchanter to do it. With the scrapper everyone...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hell no, everyone can do the quest for every tradeskill every time you get control of the warfront and they use a LOT of mats - for example the JC contribution is 15 green gems. That's going to suck up any cheap material surplus quick smart.

    Better Call Saul

    Yeah, because he's never worked for a big corporate before, so the idea that there'd be highly paid consultants hired by some exec for some unspecified task with no oversight and that no-one else knows who the fuck they are or what they do is foreign to him ;p That shit happens allllll the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The scrapper is just a sneaky gold sink - it means all that gold that was being created out of thin air when people vendored gear is now disappearing. Combined with the 'war supplies' crafted quests it's actually a pretty cunning plan, although I suspect it's going to result in a raid...

    Castle Rock

    I though the first three were pretty good. Young stalker is much creepier than adult stalker. Thought experiment - does knowing the girl next door cums when you jerk off make you do it more or less ? ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The whole underbelly is a FFA pvp zone whenever someone bothers to bribe the guards. You can pay money to the captain at the entrance to be immune if you actually have something useful to do down there, although teleporting back would make that problematic I guess.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yeah, not being able to pay the artists for the next set pretty much means it's dead unless they get a huge backer that doesn't care about a history of failure. It's sad - it could have been great, but their skills as game designers far outstripped their software development and project...

    IS HBO gonna get shafted by AT&T?

    HBO made, what, 6 billion profit in the last few years, mostly from GoT. Imagine how much more money they could have made if instead of GoT, they had ten 20 min episode teen dramas and 200/week hours of reality TV ! This is pretty much the level of genius that came up with the SyFy wrestling...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, despite the various flaws ( mostly rng related ), I have to give blizz credit for legion - they added a *LOT* of stuff on a pretty aggressive schedule. Only the top like 0.05% got to farm a mythic tier for more than a month.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Either the math on that one is off by something crazy, or they also reset the AP knowledge, because level 19-20 went from 2k to 30k.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you mean play wise, frost is aids to play on beta at the moment. This may fix itself with more haste, although I have pretty much all haste gear ( 14% @ ilvl 340 ), so it will be a while. If you mean top dps, too early for any of that, they are still fucking around with numbers.

    You have to hearth, port to stormwind/org, turn it off, then go back to where you were .

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It is exactly like that - when I first tried beta it was 16,000 AP for level 10 ( about 500 world quests ), now it's like 2k for level 20.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That thinking would work if BFA levelling wasn't a race to the bottom. Every level you get significantly worse, and 119 and 120 you get completely dumpstered. Being ahead of the pack just means you are a free kill for the level 110 rogue waiting at the quest hub. I wouldn't use war mode as a...

    Westworld

    Dolores always was the terminator - only the new ones are the bio-printed almost human types, the old ones like Dolores are full on robots with skin covering. Unless you mean in personality, in which case yeah, all of the characters in s2 were pretty yawn worthy.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not as far as I can tell, but crafting on beta at the moment is more pre-alpha than beta to be honest. The only quests I've run across are for gathering profs and it's just to gather X of something basically.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd be interested as well, nothing really stood out for me as a mechanical or speed advantage. Overall Horde levelling quests were considerably more interesting though at least. On alliance side, drustvar is pretty good, stormsong is eh, and tiragarde is a boring pile of collect bear asses. All...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not just you, it adds nothing of interest. Island expeditions are supposed to be a new thing, but they are slow, tedious and worthless. If a quest designer came up with an idea for a world quest where you killed 500 mobs for 300 azerite they would get slapped upside the head for being a dumbass...

    Impulse

    Just finished this one off. Last episode set up 3-4 more interesting storylines than the rest of the season, so I'll probably watch more if they make it. Overall i thought it was decent. Nothing whatsoever to do with the book, which is a shame, because it was a great book, but a decent story...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    VDH is crazily overpowered, in healing, dps and survivability. BDK is good. Warrior seems ok, haven't seen a single bear or monk tank in anything over normal dungeons. Pallies seem to be made out of cardboard, the ones I've had had their health spiking up and down like crazy, living on the...

    Impulse

    I'm not sure why they kept the name, it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the book at all. As far as I can tell, the only thing they have in common is a chick with a weird name ;p Still, pilot wasn't awful, will probably watch the rest of it.

    Hitomi is best character, although I give an honorable mention to Hina's "apprentice".

    The Americans

    With the amount of long drawn out silent montages to music, the finale felt like I was watching a french arthouse film. It was ok i guess, more of a fizzle than a bang, but I guess they were sort of stuck with some level of historical accuracy, not like they could have them assassinate the...

    The Expanse

    I'd imagine SyFy still has the rights, and if HBO/Netflix tried to buy them off them, would be met with a hearty 'Go fuck yourself'.

    The Expanse

    If they were magnetized to hold against 3+ gees you'd need a prybar to pick them up if you dropped them. Individual straps for each tool in the case could work, but that's a lot of work to protect against stupidity, and if they are too dumb to safe the case, they are too dumb to safe the tools.

    What did you just read?

    Yeah, that one is definitely my pick for best web serial I've read, and probably best superhero story I've read overall too. Def wins "best four word chapter" of anything award too - damn that was harsh. Author has done two others, Pact and Twig, both of which are good, if very different from...

    Lost in Space

    I liked it. If you don't like the first two episodes though, I wouldn't bother with the rest - they set the scene pretty well. Top notch production values, decent to good acting, reasonable story, nonsensical science, overall pretty fun. They have to be the most half-assed colony expedition...
