"So we've invented personal jet packs-"
"Outstanding!!"
"-but they overheat after about 15 seconds"
"Well... its a good thing our planet has inexplicable waterfalls all over the damn place"
I was thinking that as well when they started the season with 'no returning monsters'. I mean if there's a non-Dalek answer to the "dna of the most dangerous creature in the universe" then that would be a significant retcon. Well I suppose 'Gallifreyan' might also count.
Anyone else get a touch of vertigo playing this? I don't know if it was the camera positioning or the snap transitions when going from flying to not flying but after awhile it was really starting to bug me. I also do not care for the flying controls. I felt like I was fighting the interface.

Looks like we get Donna for a little bit longer at least.
Next week, however, looks like a flashback Hawk and Dove origin which I have no idea how it fits in with anything given we ditched them awhile back.
After the Diablo Immortal debacle and the everylasting snorefest that is BfA this would be the perfect time to launch this in the west. Going into winter there is really nothing to scratch the 'its snowy outside and I want to just stay warm and game with my buds' itch.
Instead they will...
Well so far we know of:
MCU - Loki limited series
MCU - Winter Soldier / Falcon limited series
MCU - Scarlet Witch limited series
Star Wars - Casian Andor limited series
Star Wars - The Mandalorian ongoing series
Seems like they are taking a page from CBS All Access and aiming at having a...
The story of Warcraft seems to always be someone causing war/suffering/death in order to better prepare everyone to fight off an allegedly more dangerous foe which is also, in turn, doing the same thing.
Would be quasi poetic if we didn't inevitably beat them by getting 20 people to not stand...
So I saw this on Steam right before turkey-day and decided to check it out :
Its a tactics strategy game with some degree of progression, similar to Xcom but less robust, in how you level up your Tech Priests and what missions you choose to take on. There's an overall game 'timer' that runs...
The giant fucking sword issue is just maddening... Everyone, including the players, seems more interested in what Azerite can do to make everything more powerful rather than deal with the mortal wound to the planet.
Having said that I now wonder if this isn't meant to be some sort of allegory.
Lore wise they seem to be setting up a profound universal defeat what with the "that's the last of the soldiers' line in the Saurfang cinematic. Possibly the Horde and Alliance cripple each other with the fighting rather than getting stronger RE: Wrathion's view.
So ummm...
Is anyone gonna do something about that giant mile-high sword sticking out of the planet? I thought for sure 8.1 would bring the story back to the whole 'oh yeah Azerite is the life blood of the planet that is hemorrhaging all over' stuff, but it seems to be completely ignoring...
On the 'Game Room' side of the equation, who here has experience building a retro arcade machine?
I found a cool video on how to do a total conversion of one of those Arcade 1UP 3/4 scale machines, but by that point I felt like maybe it'd be easier to go full scale.
Thoughts?
Anytime Michael McKean shows up you know her in for a treat.
I pegged this particular plot twist awhile back, so at the very least I grok the general thought process of Schur and the writing staff.
So I rewatched some old She-Ra cartoons this AM to compare as I genuinely had little memory of any specific plot elements in the original.
Turns out the reason why I had such little memory of the actual story beats is that there was little actual story! Every episode is a few Horde troopers...
Logged in last night to do the weekly bosses and went to Arathi to do the quests and in the middle of all that realized it was completely pointless and just logged out in the middle of Arathi. The difference between this shitshow and Legion is palpable, and the advance spoiler videos for the...
Do people in general use War Mode? I was reading the recent blue posts about trying to even out the faction imbalance and found it amusing. As an Alliance player I never even considered that War Mode would be a good idea. Fuck in Drustvar and Stormsong I encounter way more Horde than I do...
The problem here is 'class balance' combined with 'spreadsheet engineering'.
If your goal is to make everyone average across a fairly narrow range of events then you are already restricting yourself. If you then elect to implement that by a fairly limited set of options then you are walled up...
A few more episodes in and I gotta say I'm liking the dynamic. Having the main group of Adora, Glimmer and Bow works well especially as Glimmer is the one clearly in charge of getting the Princess Alliance back together and not 'She-Ra'. She makes the most of what is admittedly a crap power...
They do rework the Eternian lore quite a bit with this. Has a certain legacy-type feel to it ala Legend of Zelda. In addition the 'magic' seems to be actually super crazy advanced technology that is indistinguishable from magic.
One of the biggest changes (other than making Kowl a stuffed...
The whole premise of Pokemon is indeed fucked up beyond imagining. Not only do these people kick their kids out of the house at an early age to go fend for themselves, but the whole world is populated by seemingly sentient creatures who are happily enslaved.
