Essentially, the only non-asian triple AAA game for the next two years is Amazon's New World. That's it. And the only non-asians, non-triple AAA games are crowdfunded/early access scammed shits.

At least Torchlight Frontiers got redone as Torchlight III which isn't a micro-transaction riddled pseudo-MMO but a classic multiplayer successor to Torchlight II.

And it's an exclusive right. Meaning you cannot use it yourself ever again (outside of W3). Made a music? It belongs to Blizzard, and you had it on your channel BEFORE you put it on the mod, they can now DMCA your ass and remove that video - and you are not allowed to contest anymore. They so...

And Battle Royale. Do not forget their current major push, the Battle Royale version!

I am currently laughing at the new nickname "Beta for Azeroth".

Note highlighted word. There's two steps to be done there: Step 1: Find the game on Nvidia's catalog for the service Step 2: Launch the game which will require you to login into your store account The trick is that Nvidia has pre-installed copies for those games from the stores ready to...

Hope springs eternal.

My problem with WoW is that every game-as-a-service has converged slowly on the same set of solutions to keep people playing and rake in the cash from the "service". FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. For WoW, there's time-limited exclusives, which are still only relatively few (the mount drops who go...

... for the entire NA region. Everyone who was fighting N'Zoth in normal or heroic saw theirs depop. https://www.wowhead.com/news=310777/blizzard-despawns-nzoth-across-na-region-due-to-glitched-limit-attempt Some quality game management tools we have, people...

That's an exaggeration, since there are rares and uncommon with those alternate frames (or rares with extended art). But overall, you still get close to 1 mythic per pack, which is absolutely insane rates.

Do you mean for you in specific, or in general? Because Spellfire was part of the wave generated by MtG's explosion as a game.

On my to-read-if-I-ever-manage-it pile (that still has like 30 books before)

Never, ever, play on a full pvp server for a game with hardcoded factions.

I was watching Bellular talking about the state of Blizzard: Basically, Blizzard is currently engaged in a race to bottom. Cut costs, screw quality or care. "If nothing else, we'll relaunch a new set of Classic servers in 2 years."

Neutron stars are very energetic and material objects. Two neutron stars merging produce a "kilonova", so-called because it's about 1000 times the effect of a normal nova. A supernova would be 10-100 times that, but it's still a very violent event if you're close. But if something happened...

Yea. The only thing giving out gravity waves are so energistic, Earth would be ALREADY done for if that happened in Betelgeuse for some reason.

The latter. Once the nose capsule detached, the aerodynamic profile was horribly wonky and destabilized the whole thing, until the first stage blew up. The second stage apparently fell down more or less intact into the sea.

Can't fault him if he really gets dinged on Amazon by reviews based on the unedited RR stuff.

Just to be clear, they've also indicated how roguelike. If you have ever played Lost Dungeons of Norrath... then that's how roguelike it is. Basic floor sets with random "walls" closing some parts of it. I cannot wait until the players in beta scream at how the tower is randomly unplayable that...

He's been spending a long time (compared to the other books), so the common speculation is that he hit writer's block, and slapped something together in frustration. So you end up with a filler, and either you'll drop the series in disgust, or you STILL have to wait for a real book to come.

Read that one two years ago.

At the moment, bingeing on a few history books: Napoleon the Great, a general biography of said by Andrew Roberts, which is very great, follows the man with all of its genius and pettiness. Probably a more general (pun not intended) than above. India: A history on the topic of the second...

It's pretty much worthless without a book 9 along it.

And I regret a thousand times pre-ordering it. He pretty much lost his inspiration along the way, and went for filler. Shit. Horseshit. Donkeyshit, even.

That's the second iteration of... Withered Army Training. The infinite tower in Shadowlands is presumably the third, except that one is supposed - supposed being the operative word, because it's all statically design content still - to be endless progression. Until you hit the cap, I assume...

Given how much feedback from the previous beta was taken into account... do we really need quarter-long betas?

7.3.5 was bugfixes and level scaling below 100 (6 months after Argus). The last content patch was 7.3. Same reason I ignored 1.12, I only took the last actual content patch of the expansion.

Patch 7.3 -> 8.0 = 13 months. Patch 6.2 -> 7.0 = 13 months. Patch 5.4 -> 6.0 = 13 months. Patch 4.3 -> 5.0 = 10 months. Patch 3.3 -> 4.0 = 10 months. Patch 2.4 -> 3.0 = 7 months. Patch 1.11 -> 2.0 = 6 months (I'm ignoring 1.12 which had no new content). We haven't had anything that fast since LK.

The pill or the dick?

PvP servers are awesome. Always. Nothing better. (sarcasm tags missing)

That's mainly how it happened back then, I think. People right now are far more organized and aware of the thing.

Le sigh.

Never has been any genre so mislabeled.

Interesting that almost all big losers are Planeswalkers... (even excluding the stupid stained glass versions)

We're only waking up to this brand new Decade. Happy new lots!

It also lets him switch themes. Uncrowned is all about progression, getting ready to win the tournament.

Well, we've already had one, so it is more likely.

Given that voice coms weren't widely used back in 1999 when I picked my Dwarven Cleric's name (Ukerric = You Cleric?), I didn't pay much attention to how it could be voiced.

There's maybe two "dangerous" stars that could cause meaningful damage to the biosphere, but not on the order of an ELE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_supernova_candidates

Why? At 600 LY, a supernova isn't dangerous. The estimated range at which a supernova could trigger a mass extinction is estimated between 100 and 50 LY. At 150 LY, you'd get the equivalent of a couple CT-scans per year, which might get an uptick in cancer rates. At 600LY, it's totally...
