Thank you for taking that otherwise fine post to a weird Islamophobic place.

Blizzard has explicitly said other streams are coming soon. Facebook Live is very painless for companies to set up with, so it’s a good place to start.

Those janky-even-at-the-time EQ1 graphics make it hard to imagine how compelling the game was at its height, during that Velious expansion.

I remember running to where I was sure Kerafyrm would fly over when he was awakened on my server. It was a HUGE deal. I can barely remember anything about my three years (!)…

I adore Sworcery so much — it lingers in my mind, even long after finishing the adventure — that I’m happy to give them the benefit of several doubts.

The elf thing is like choosing which foot I want to shoot myself in. I mean, yes, yes, it only makes sense that they’re elf-only, but ... ugh.

Given A) how badly things left on the dashboard heat up and B) how how badly cell phones perform when they head up, I’m not sure that this is a viable solution for much of the United States.

You’re very wrong about the impact of beer in chili. There’s a massive amount of difference the varieties make. A light or watery beer is basically water, but anything heavier is extremely impactful.

The very lackluster Age of Ultron actually addressed the damage the Avengers were causing during the story (and ironically served as a commentary on Man of Steel, but total coincidence). The latest trailer for Civil War shows that superheroes causing collateral damage is actually what causes the lines to be drawn this…

Gazelle is also almost zero effort and pays actual cash.

SOE would have LOVED to have cloned WoW. Smedley honestly didn’t understand why EQ1 was successful and it shows in everything that he’s done since.

I remember the E3 when Blizzard first previewed WoW — Smedley stood in the Blizzard booth (he’s a giant, and stands out) and just SCOWLED at the packed booth for almost an…

Make those old forms tamable beasts for hunters!

And that was in the era where we only had five pet slots. I let my slime go for that reason, sadly.

Yeah, affirmative consent is not at all what you think it is. You can hit on people, but you cannot put your penis in them unless they have explicitly said to do so. No one is going to jail expressing interest in sex, especially as that makes getting to affirmative consent rather difficult.

“I think you missed the news when colleges do not endorse such behavior anymore. What was it called article 9 or some bullshit? This is one law i also do not approve of.”

This thing you’re thinking exists does not exist in this form. College students are alive and boinking.

Or, alternately, people were about to pledge until they saw Smedley was involved, flashed back to all the horrible EverQuest decisions he’s made over the past 15ish years, and just closed the tab, laughing.

Mike Allred started in indie comics — that’s his hero, Madman, being pulled off the comic page in the last page of the preview — and he definitely doesn’t look like mainstream superhero comics. (For one thing, his women look like real people with all their parts having believable weight.) I find it incredibly…

“Starship Troopers may be the greatest joke ever played on the American moviegoing public.”

In contrast, “Barb Wire” is the greatest joke ever played on Hollywood studios. Seriously, watch it. (And make sure you watch a certain Humphrey Bogart classic first.)

It’d be nice if the CW app, which has been available in iOS forever and is actually a big part of the CW strategy, would make the jump finally.

Apple TV, for all versions, desperately needs Pandora. iTunes Radio, or whatever it’s called, is terrible, despite all my feverish tinkering with custom channels.

I would not be in the least surprised if it turns out that Apple is keeping the streaming radio apps out as competitors.

So, that sounds like a super-unhealthy enviornment.
