    Half of the fun was looking forward to the next completely twisted sex joke he'd find. Alas, after a while, he ran out, so he entirely shelved the sex parts (there's only very occasional allusions) and focused on the slaughter gallows humor. With the occasional weird joke (like that immensely...

    The idea behind this is that you can't just "get lucky with titantforge anymore". Now, you have to grind before being allowed to use your "new titanforged" items. This will supposedly remove the "fuck, this noob got better items than me in the first week, waaaaah!"... which isn't the complaint...

    They're considered the gold standard of Western version of Xianxia ("Immortal Heroes") style. If you like this type of narrative, Wight is the best western author (and probably the best, period). Chinese fantasy goes into three different categories usually: Wuxia ("Martial Heroes") which is the...

    It's not about heaven or hell as much as inclination oriented.

    I think every fan's favorite game for the next year is going to be "in which realm is X?", where X is your favorite dead character. Except for the last or last two expansions, since that's apparently when everyone went straight to the Maw instead of being judged by the sorting hat... sorry, the...

    The only thing that sounds remotely refreshing in this expansion is the roguelike tower. The rest? Bring back nostalgia with old talents. Bring back nostalgia with level 60. Bring back Legion's headquarters. Bring back moar old stuff. Which is nice, mind you, but that's not what will make me...

    Welcome to the modern era of AAA game that are designed to be an endless source of monetization thru "game services". Can't sell "game services" if your game doesn't use said services.

    Oh, and I just realized. Since we're getting all the dead people from Azeroth, junior can probably say hi to daddy, and by the way, did she really got you killed in Legion?

    If I heard him correctly, they're from the roguelike tower. That one's going to be an interesting new technology, because if they can make it so that you have a randomly generated zone, oh boy. (as opposed to 10 pre-generated floors you get in a random order filled with random spawns, that is)

    I mean, a Legion triumvir (can't remember if it's Kil'jaeden or Archimonde) made that helmet to have an orc control some undeads. And now, you use it to shatter dimensional doors between our world and the world of the dead? Like WTF?

    Death Stranding

    Saw one review that basically said "masturbatory scifi concepts plus boring gameplay plus awesome outdoors". Basically, you've got life and death mixed, the spirits of the dead trigger a nuclear detonation if they find someone who just died. And they got oil zombies that try to kill you so they...

    Rofl: TL;DW: The prize pool for the PvP and PvE finals at Blizzcon is... entirely from the sales of in-game pets. Blizzard implied they would put $250,000 and then you'd have 25% of your special pet/mounts added. What they really meant is that all of the prize pool would come from store sale...

    Except that Shadowlands (99% sure) has been designed a year ago, all of its grind-daily mechanics have been planned before Classic launched, and Blizzard can't turn around on a 500$ dollar bill (never mind a dime), so you'll have all the new "interesting" mechanics. I mean, that's the people...

    I was laughing half the time because of how over the top it goes. It's very obviously a challenge he set himself: "how deep (pun intended) can I go". That's what makes it a classic. You need to like the very raw humor. It goes worse before it ends. After a while, he pretty much stopped the real...

    Yes, but now that he's publishing book 2, he'll have to take down all but 10% of it. That's why you find only the first 22 chapters of book 1, then it goes straight to book 2.
