So I got my "mains" to 100 with the Invasion stuff so kudos to them for this as I couldn't bring myself to repeat the WoD content on alts. Even the vastly accelerated "do just 20% of each zone" pace was still too much. I've actually always enjoyed going through an expansion multiple times in...

I'm sure that the pre event is really just a stress test for the new scaling system and the Open world content, but it is pretty nice now.

Solo a mob in Westfall with my mid 90s Shaman = 8900 exp. Have one other person hit said mob once and I get 283 exp... So the most advantageous way to play this pre-patch MMO content is to be completely isolated. Noble intentions, terrible execution.

After all the setup in the pre-patch and the Hearthstone expansion I had a feeling we were going to have some refreshed Karazhan content. Good to know they are committing to preventing any more content droughts, although honestly we have heard that song before.

What exactly is the logic for exp sharing to be so wonky on auto scaled mobs? Is it just a flat number that scales somewhat linearly with level and therefore quite large for alts if you solo the mob, but if it gets tagged by a second person you each get X% of a level and therefore a very small...

There is a definite gattaca vibe here, but also very cyberpunk as well so I'm willing to give it a shot. I am continually amazed by how much of Gibson's fantasy is becoming reality as we move further into the 21st century, so shows like this are like philosophical porn to me.

Of all MMO 'failures' over the years this is one that hit me most keenly as they genuinely had an amazing story and overall aesthetic AND hands-down the best skill system I have ever seen in a game MMO or otherwise. The Skill Wheel and all the ways in which your abilities could synergize yet...

Good lord. I never thought I'd be this excited for this movie...

I just did the dreadwispers thing and that was the most fun I've had in awhile... Sneaking around and infecting people so I could Dreadlord out and cause havok

I'm still exploring the starter system even though I could have left awhile ago. Am I correct in thinking that every person has a different process-generated starting planet?

So more bitterness and mistrust between Alliance and Horde because homegirl couldn't say "Yo! We gotta pull back!" Stupid. I am assuming Jaina is going to go all psycho-bitch-banshee insane.

So it takes place in the Prime universe 10 years prior to the Original Series... they also say it is centered on an event that has been talked about by fans for years but never seen. Well the Romulan War is much earlier than that and they said it isn't about Axanar, although I can see why...

I tried out the Demon Hunter for giggles and I also feel that something is missing. When I tried out Death Knights I really felt the experience captured the "class fantasy" to use the recently invoked terminology, but I dont get that from the Demon Hunter at all. I feel that the Windwalker...

I seem to be farming skillseeds wrong... I need 13 bajillion and I get like 20 a battle if I am lucky.

I enjoyed the Goblin starting area, played it when a buddy of mine wanted to try the game again in Cata era. You could tell they really worked hard on the Goblin stuff and just phoned in the Worgen bits.

Well the reason for including "mundanes" was alluded to in the movie: that they could stand up to metas like the Flash and hold their own. It could have been telegraphed more, but given that the cinematic DCU doesnt really exist yet it is hard to convey that sort of legacy.

I just today learned that Teleport: Ancient Dalaran and Portal: Ancient Dalaran existed... Portal is especially mean to use since you pop in where Dalaran used to be but which is now a big ole pit with a heck of a drop.

Bojack is very dark and I love it for that, plus it has a lot of funny bits that you can easily miss if you aren't paying close attention. I nearly lost it when Todd mentioned that he'd worked on a Mazda commercial.

I find it amusing that all the gaming outlets are doing streams of the thing having purchased copies in NYC where the street date has been broken. I watched like the first 60 seconds and it looked interesting enough. Is it $60 interesting? Not sure, especially when Rebel Galaxy is one of the...

It really is a completely different game for people who live in low Niantic mapped areas versus high density ones. In Boston you can't throw a pokeball without hitting a Pokestop (one corner of my living room is in range of three Pokestops) while in more remote areas you might have one...

I did notice that even though there's now an even number of heroes the selection screen is staggered with 2 more on the first row compared to the second row. This seems to be another hint that someone else will be coming into the game soon, and it will be someone whose name is towards the end...

I am still not quite sure what I want to play for Legion. I have the Arcane Mage which I have used for MoP and WoD, but I keep thinking that I might enjoy something else. I was trying out my old warlock before the DDOS hit, but something about the overall rotation for Destruction felt off...

Well to be fair Daredevil has had two seasons where we have otherwise only even seen Jessica Jones. Now admittedly there weren't too many loose threads in Jessica Jones, but I can easily see there being elements of Defenders in Iron Fist if not both it and Luke Cage.

The actual effects of Zika itself seem rather minor and the sort of thing you might otherwise confuse with just any other very mild cold/flu type illness with muscular aches and tiredness. Even those symptoms only manifest in something like 25% of those infected so most people will be more...

Zika makes for an interesting plague. The actual disease itself seems relatively minor, but it has a monstrous secondary-effect of causing microcephaly, but it seems that it may be limited only to infection that takes place during pregnancy. In which case you would just want to make sure you...

The Ferengi, Trill, Cardassians, Bajorans, Shape shifters, and Vorta were all well done races fleshed out in DS9 even if half of them had originally been introduced in TNG. By comparison the Voyager races were much less interesting or well done, especially with them abandoning the may-fly race...

Decided to level up the Elemental Shaman and I'm feeling like something is missing. Now,of course, the artifact weapon with all its do-dads IS missing, but I feel like the class should be a cohesive whole without the artifact. Seems like a lot of slow proc-fishing followed by overzealous big...

Well...the new timeline has a very distinct design aesthetic that tends towards Apple-store meets Babylon-5. The original timeline is something much easier to recreate on a budget.

Now we know the answer for how they intend to make bank off of AOL...by buying Yahoo as well. It was such an obvious thing and completely worth another $4bn.

Ezra Miller looks fine as Barry Allen, but in that armor he looks somehow feminine. Maybe its the contrast between his eyes and the red of the mask and the placement of the mouth/eye holes but when I saw him moving in the outfit my initial reaction was "wait Jesse Quick? What??"

This is based on concept images done for an unproduced mid 70s Star Trek movie by McQuarrie :Ralph McQuarries concept art for a Star Trek movie in 1976-1977 From the music tempo and what we has been hinted as the timeline for the series it seems that it will be post Star Trek VI at the start...

Ana feels weird because her lack of mobility means that she really can't get into "sniper" positions without running up lots of stairs etc. Even if you do find a nice position to heal from a distance from the battle invariably moves on a bit and then you are stuck out of position and trying to...

Did they give a reason for reverting the Mercy Damage Boost back to 30%? I thought they were all about her primary source of damage being the boost?

I enjoyed the movie a lot. I laughed really hard quite often and while yes there were many in-jokes, cameos, and references to the familiar classic there were also lots of elements that are unique to this telling. Others may feel differently, but I know the theater I was in cheered at the...

I've always assumed Sombra was either stealth or someone who projected darkness as a counter to snipers and sharpshooters. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to have the enemy plant a sphere of darkness on the payload.

Enjoying this show, though watching it with an 80s purist who yells at the screen about songs that came out in 1987 being used in a series set in 1983...

The show really has a Blake's 7 vibe to it now.

Everytime I think this show has set up a new status quo they go and shake things up. I do like how unpredictable many of the overarching plot points have been, I just hope that the eventual mystery of the Quad is worth all these layers of conspiracy.

Nothing about the Demon Hunter class appeals to me sadly. I had hopes that, like with Monks, they would have added one spec that was caster-esque, but I guess that would have tread too heavily on the Warlock territory.

Its nice when your house is a PokeStop... The density of stops and gyms here in Boston is crazy, and yet I still see tons of people walking around from place to place
