    World of Warcraft: Classic

    If people enjoyed playing with the < Casual > of Hyjal folks, there's about 10 of us in < Déjà Vu > and a few more roaming around on Atiesh. We're filling out the roster for Nax. Alliance Tue/Thu 6-9:30 PST. Send tells to Bag or Gasmask :D

    Looks like compression pants. Possibly left Crossfit for the birth of his daughter? Can be fetching on someone thinner/fitter. :iceburn:

    Tenet (2020)

    Inception does require a high degree of suspension of disbelief, but I appreciate the attempt and the interesting moments. It at least wasn't another superhero movie. https://inception.davepedu.com/

    Archer

    ‘Archer’ Renewed for Season 11, Reveals Season 10 Ending at Comic-Con — Spoilers So far, I like the season better than the last 2-4, but I was ready for the series to end. If it were to continue, I wouldn't mind more space Archer. I *hope* returning the spy agency isn't going to be crap, but...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Gasmask and the unenviable job of trying to approach a Digo-like quality initial offering/writing. I think he was whining about php ("yeah i’m not writing php+html"). I hope we'd approach the Valkie/Trilly like conflicts of yore. There'll be boxes to jump, painfully old mechanics to fail, and...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    For those that miss hijinks on Hyjal, there does seem to be some level of Casual showing for classic. Apparently remembered for snowballing Elitemaiden to an extent that snowballs were nerfed. I don't recall participating in that; although, I can't deny it with certainty.

    Archer

    Find myself waiting for it to go back to sucking, just like a beaten dog, but this season has picked up, for now, where the last ones didn't. Reusing old jokes, acknowledging it sometimes, while funny, kinda just reminds me how much better the other seasons were. The shows been relegated to...

    Dragon Age: Dreadwolf

    Hated the ring-like event/encounters style of combat in Dragons Age II, but at least the combat was pretty-looking and somewhat engaging. DAI's combat, especially on higher difficulty levels, was just slow and tedious (more hit points, god help you if your party doesn't have a shield...

    Songs of Conquest

    For me, I'm cooking, cleaning, tending to other chores, and watching some anime. The slow pace and the easy ability to step away works out well; although, I'm working my way through HoMM VII. I've essentially won the map, but it'll be 20-50 more turns until completion of the scenario.

    Songs of Conquest

    Search says this doesn't exist, but we'll see: https://www.songsofconquest.com/ I've been playing a lot of turn-based strategy games lately and jonesing for a new HoMM (6 and 7 were kinda pretty bad) and a friend turned me on to this one that may be in a similar vein.

    Archer

    Found out the this season started only because my DVR recorded it. Even after the last season of GoT, this seems to be off to a shitty start. New setting, a little more serious, a lot less funny/interesting. Episode 1 seems to challenge the viewer to continue to watching the series.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Less likely that it was missed as opposed to poorly portrayed on screen.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    It's a design issue. I loved UO's PVP for the randomness/rewards/consequences perspective. WoW's world PVP was pretty derpy, but I can understand the desire for random pvp. I can understand PVP from the point of trying to make it a faction-based/collective war element. I can understand PVP...

    Dealing with addiction

    It's about incremental gains and trying to manage the behavior. Despite saying you want to stop smoking, are you actually interested in stopping smoking? Can you make it 3 hours 1 minute this week? 3 hours 2 minutes next week, etc? If you only make it 3 hours, can you use a less harmful...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    But, in Velious/Luclin(?) era EQ, it didn't really matter. You weren't capped at 40 people. Generally, more people was always better than less unless the more people were also a liability (e.g. "why did you aggro the flurry drake standing over there..."). More people meant more mouths to feed...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Right? People are still playing EQ. People are still playing UO. It wouldn't surprise me if WoW/WoW Classic persists until the servers are unplugged. I actually like the idea of a WoW progression servers as my cohort seems to pine for TBC era. As with any new server, there'll probably be an...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    We had such bad luck trying to sync our queues to get the guild in AV with Hyjal's Alliance > Horde imbalance. We were doing well to have 5-10 people. Having all of FoH or +/- the Forgotten Aspect folks normally meant at least AV would end in an efficient timeframe. Sometimes. From the...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Random thoughts: Despite the nostalgia and bullshitting in chat, I had this linked to me and it seemed to touch on what some of the old-timers in my cohort are going through over this: For some: work, gym, obligations, and life kind of cast a pallor over possibly enjoying classic WoW...

    Has to be better than Apocrypha/Last Encore? Although, Waver was only tolerable due to the will they/won't they relationship with Iskander.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Managing blessings was just a poorly thought out mechanic that added nothing to the gameplay/enjoyability of playing the class. Outside of a well timed BoP, they were perfunctory and assumed. Applying them was easily 1 to 1.5 minutes (servers/lag/people) out of 5 of gameplay. Someone is out...

    Did they? I don't recall FoH being too productive on Hyjal. But, I did enjoy being fed turn-ins for the AQ gate opening.

    Castlevania

    I want to like it more. Despite having rich lore to pull from, the writing is a bit bland. Also, the dialogue and tone of the series seems to be all over the place--from gratuitous gore/brutality to pug-like-cutesy zombie dogs--and they haven't found the balance, yet. The use of archaic...

    Summer 2018 Anime

    "Fate/Extra: Last Encore" I'm only a few episodes in, but Kudos to them for them for trying to kinda change things up, but the setting/premise for Extra is like an convoluted combination of Tron/Matrix/Ghost in the Shell/Sword Art Online, which seems to make the premise more complicated than...

    Archer

    It's difficult to end things well. I think if the current and last season were separate shows from Archer, I'd enjoy it more. But, being within the Archer-universe, the show sets expectations that it doesn't deliver and the characters in quasi-new-yet-familiar roles is a little jarring with...

    Either/or. It has moments, but I wish it was darker/sexual/otherwise more provocative. It stops short of being brilliant.

    Archer

    Guessing the new setting for Archer is, at best, a riff on Inception and falling down another dream level. But, yah, I'm really disappointed with the last few seasons (present not starting too well).

    Tower of Time

    Aarklash:Legacy had moments. Liked that on higher difficulties it required competent play +/- optimal builds or pain.
