    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So it's just some transitional gear and not all that big of a deal? Then why the hyperbolic strawman of "you just want the best items in the game handed to you."

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I like that your defense of the game is indistinguishable from criticism of the game. There's something to be said for completing your objectives so you don't have to log all the time. You put in the extra effort now so it's off your plate. There's nothing wrong with a forty year mortgage...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Whenever I log on it's like WoW has arranged a very detailed and orderly play date for me and I just wish the whole thing was a little more freeform. Everything is gated behind a long series of small chores all carefully compartmentalized, sterilized, and portioned out. Playing through Legion I...

    Hot Tub Time Machine 2 I had liked the first one, heard the second one was a trainwreck, and it was. It wasn't without some good jokes but a large portion of the film is truly dreadful.

    Getting to max level and seeing 90 different world quests available that refresh daily including such winners as "match game" as well as TWO copies of "protect baby turtles by trying to gauge arcs in a tight first person" combined with the knowledge that the entire rest of the story AND the rest...

    Scenes from movies you didn't like that stuck with you

    Have you ever seen the original I Spit on Your Grave? I think you would like it and by like it I mean you'd barely make it through and then never watch it again. It's good though! Rape revenge exploitation flick from the '70s.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Now, I never saw the movie. I haven't seen any of the new Star Wars movies. It sounds like the ships just release bombs in what looks exactly like a WW2 bombing run. That's still dumb. It just didn't have to be.

    Discussing the costs of Magic with Heylel is like having a discussion with a masochist about having your scrotum nailed to a chair. Their perspective isn't invalid but the amount of overlap between how you see things and how they see things is going to be pretty low.

    Oof, you don't even get to replace the fakes with real ones provided you can buy/borrow some right quick? Maybe between rounds but not during the match itself?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    One of the problems I ran into doing lower level content was that zones weren't even vaguely on par with each other. For example I found Sithilus to be absolute trash with tons of running, kill 15 of this now kill 20 of that, and no story. I bailed to Felwood and it was night and day. A quest to...

    Sure, that's going to raise suspicion but that's also the dummy move. I think the way to go with counterfeits of old cards is to try to pass them off as in poor condition. Throw them in a tumbler with poker chips (wooden, ideally) to simulate natural wear. There was a particular way that old...

    I did one at 112 and one at 114. One was fucking around with Galliwix and the other was fending off some humans at Horde foothold. The battling thus far is not very battled. We're at war, damn it! I assume things will escalate later.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The game works really great if you show up after the expansion's last content patch has been released and you get to benefit from all the catch-up mechanics and experience the story as one complete narrative. Just shelve it until the spring of 2020 or so. I do agree that, as far as MMO...

    He looks good, the art on all his splashes is good, his abilities seem decent and are more straightforward than I was anticipating. He's a little too close to Zoe in that they've both got the cutesy/lolrandom/sparkley thing going pretty strong but overall his rework looks to be of the high...

    I'm one of those derps who values verisimilitude in games. Messing around with the defenses of towers and bonus gold awarded for killing the put an end to lane swaps or nerfing minion gold for junglers if they have the most gold is just so artificial it negatively impacts my enjoyment of the...

    In regards to Nunu specifically it looks like his snowball operates like Taliya's thing as I said. You hit with one and it slows the enemy and then more hits slow more until it roots or if you melee them when they have that debuff they are rooted. Then when they are rooted they are vulnerable to...

    Man, not for me. The first time I quit WoW was over them.

    As a spectator and spectator only I've had a good time watching Dog and Kripp play with the new cards but for this first week at least it doesn't look to be a healthy meta at all.

    Exactly this. You can sell them on eBay and then ship the physical item with delivery confirmation (automatically included on all shipping methods these days) and it should be fine. You can mail them first class in a box for less than three dollars if you don't to just go with an envelope.

    Was it last year or the year before that they changed the top lane tower to make 2v1 lanes stop happening?
