We will probably never have anything like the memories of Bowden vs. Spurrier ever again.

My wakeup call about how much WoW sucks was trying to imagine explaining it to teenage kids. "Let me get this straight: you collect 10 bear asses to level up, move to another area where you collect 10 bear asses, and you basically mash these 4 buttons while you do that for levels 1 through 60...

Godbert Manderville and Yojimbo both hate fatties. Sometimes, people are too heavy and are crushed under falling pieces of giant bamboo instead of being knocked off stage. Sometimes, the teleporter for leap of faith doesnt work because they weigh too much. Don't ask what they feed the Race...

Imagine real life is an MMO, and there's a tried and true specialization for women that has existed for thousands of years. It's not always perfect, but it's been the meta spec since the dawn of civilization. Take the talents Not a slut, Don't be crazy, Devoted partner, and Traditionalist. The...

Not if we beat him to it! Now's our chance! Amod how much money do we have? I got $20 and about 7 mozzarella sticks I can throw in the air fryer for when we make our pitch. Edit: honestly if Ion became president that might be an improvement for wow. He'll be too busy fixing and overseeing we...

I'll try to summarize my thoughts and I won't bother you again after this. I promise. The reason several people are pushing FFXIV over WoW is a combination of factors. I'm not going to compare systems, or classes, or the story, or the gameplay. I'm going to compare what they are as an MMO, and...

@Sanrith Descartes you said to tag you if anyone else had an opinion about your daughter playing WoW classic or live: I think you should seriously consider FFXIV, and I say this as someone who loves WoW. The social scene is a lot more vibrant, the people are much friendlier and less toxic, and...

Sometimes it sucks being a hero. Want to stop having problems with Primals? Try genocide. Put every Ixal, Sahagin, Kobold, and Amaal'ja to the sword. Can't derive power from worshippers when there are no worshippers left.

From what I saw Ion isn't named in the lawsuit. Before he joined Blizz he was an attorney in D.C. Even the dumbest attorneys are careful of what they do and say because they know it can come back to haunt you. He's probably clean because he came from a more professional work environment...

So instead of going to Gilgamesh I went to play with some family on another server. Joined their FC and it's cool or whatever. It's a small RP guild. Then my family tells me, "yeah there's erotic roleplay too but that's totally optional. We have tavern nights on Thursdays at the house."...

Step 1: out of court settlement. Step 2: layoffs and restructuring, purging most of the people on both sides. Especially anyone that cooperated with the state. Step 3: Blizzard HQ moves to Austin TX. Congratulations, you played yourselves.

Turn on captions and look at his answer about WoW. The dude loves and cares more about WoW than most WoW devs probably do.

I'm fairly convinced Activision sees WoW's success/failure as a win/win. It probably doesnt make great margins compared to Hearthstone, but if it succeeds it's still profit. If WoW fails it's just a good excuse to cut people loose, or move them into other divisions (aka mobile gaming or some...

FF on Nes was the first for me, but 6, 4, 7 are my faves with 6 being first. Kefka also had the best boss music, with one of the best covers. (Guitar solo at the end around 8:00 is amazeballs). As for FFXIV, I'm enjoying it more like a single player rpg. Story wise it's not bad, but the older...

Maybe they can wave some cash in front of Bobby Kotick for some soon-to-be unused WoW servers, and promise to keep it on the downlow. Just slide that money into the next quarter's earnings call. Bobby can be all, "Hahaha oh WoW is fine! Look at all this money despite what you've been hearing...

Blizzard's company culture has been corrupted too far for anyone to come in and turn it around on the level Activision would allow. The classic tale of the Golden Goose: it lays one gold egg a day, but that's not enough for Actiblizz. They want all the eggs, and they want them now. So they...

I would pick HoTS or Dota2. LOL is middle ground that doesnt give you the immediate action HoTS, nor the satisfaction of Dota2 when you actually get good. I actually avoided a lot of toxicity in Dota2 by playing Single Draft. Chances are you aren't playing a hero you are good with, but neither...

I can see the effect it has already. I joined 2 days ago and am an 11 lancer. Gridania is lively with people emoting and running around, but the actual chat is dead quiet. I cant use the Free Company command yet for some reason. Makes me miss Barrens chat (yeah it's a lot of dumb stuff, but you...

My biggest gripe is that Loki's power levels have changed drastically to fit the story. In the Avengers he got ragdolled by Hulk at the end and survived without permanent damage. In the beginning of the movie he tanked bullets and kicked a guard 20 feet through the air easily like Cap was doing...

Factions shouldn't even matter for new expansions. Players on both sides are privateering murder hobos against whatever the "cosmic threat of the year" is. Just let Alliance and Horde players group up and communicate in expansion areas. Just like the Commonlands in EQ; the evil races went to...

Almost everyone is pretty in our media and marketing in our society because that's what sells, and that's what people are attracted to. All the research shows this; when they try to put "normal" looking people in commercials, it doesn't work. Even people that say, "Well I don't care what they...

I wasnt expecting much but the Advance Wars reboot is crap. I've been waiting for them to do something with the series since Days of Ruin. Apparently people didn't like Days of Ruin because it was "too dark." Its a game involving war: grow a spine, bitches. So now it's back to happy commanders...

They are reloading the disappointment cannon. They do a good job drafting this year so you say, "Huh, I guess they learned a thing or two. Looks like things are trending upward!" Then they have a fairly solid season where they win the division at 9-7, and get bounced by a 10-6 wildcard; not...

Post credit scene should be Dr. Doom breaking into the Raft and freeing Zemo. When Zemo asks why he should work for someone who absorbed most of a broken Sokovia, Doom simply states that the nation is gone, but the Sokovian people remain. They still need Zemo's help. Doom offers Zemo a transfer...

Valentina de Fontaine or whatever acquired him some of the best vibranium welding alloy from Wakanda. It was blessed by the tech priests, who imbued it with supernatural strength by doing repeated chanting and pelvic thrusts around the sacred Forge of Bast before steeping it in the blood of...

Just Chargers things my friend. Decent coach + good team = injuries. Good team + easy schedule = dumb coach. Etc, etc. One day the stars will align in your favor. Even when they dont, you can still say, "At least I'm not the Raiders."

Finally finished Kingmaker as a celestial sorcerer. I didn't get the "true" ending, but I came pretty close. Started a Beneath the Stolen Lands run, and also tried restarting the main story, but man it's hard to pick something that isn't Sorcerer/Wizard. I think itll be the same for WoTR...

He says a line in the movie near the end. Something like, "You think I want more superpowered freaks like you running around?" He used the winter soldiers as bait because he knew it was something Cap HAD to address taking care of.

Underdark was kind of divided like that, yeah. There was the Upperdark, Middledark, and Lowerdark. You could meet most anything in the Upperdark. Low level encounters could be myconids, duergar, derro, orcs, goblins, shriekers, piercers, stirges...probably a bunch of other low level dungeon...

I dont agree because Kingmaker's narrative stays on a more believable track founded by its source material than BG3 is. If you know D&D and joined a D&D game, the PC's being hired to clear out some bandits at level 1 is very believable. A journey through the Underdark and one of the layers of...

Ugh. One of the best things about BG was being new adventuring blood, wandering around seeing what trouble awaits you in the world. As someone who grew up playing 2nd Edition and Faerun, it also cheapens the setting by making dangerous locales like Avernus and the Underdark easy. "Many...

Welcome to high level PF1 play. The game devolves into rocket tag and hoping you have the right buffs. In PnP higher levels are a slog as casters get ridiculous. "I win initiative? I cast Maze on the Wizard." "The enemy cleric casts Gate, a familiar Marilith steps through from the portal...

I have played on Reddit's emulated server on and off for years now at /r/slashdiablo. You can 4 box and use map hacks. Drop rate is at players 8. Community is very friendly, usually 300 people at season start and 100 by the end each night. The only thing you can't do is botting. So besides...

Early companions google doc.

Mythic spell lists snipped.

I'm planning on it, but I haven't played WotR beta. It remains to be seen if they will tweak some things. Heavy armor tanks in Kingmaker are generally worse than DEX based tanks because there are some modifiers that stack that shouldn't, some that should but don't, etc. Will they fix that stuff...

When you get to Pathfinder: Kingmaker, make this build: I chose a sorcerer, but the linked Slayer build is more than just shooting arrows out like Hawkeye and pincushioning nearly everything to death. It also has trapfinding, lockpicking, and persuasion, so you dont have to worry about...
