Wow, no. It wasn't absurd. People form real, serious connections with the people on the other side of those avatars. Those avatars represent someone they know and may care about. Someone that, in the event of their death, they are unable to visit in person (due to distance or whatnot), and thus they want to hold a…

First of all, I disagree with your assessment of it being absurd. Clearly the game played a large role in the deceased's life, and it is befitting for those who knew him / her who cannot attend an actual funeral to grieve in the way they've spent all other time with the deceased prior to the passing.

Second of all,…

Why is it absurd? These people know each other through Wow. Are they really going to fly from all over the world for a memorial for someone most of them have not met personally? That would be absurd.

And also if you don't think people can be good enough friends to actually feel grief in an online world i think you need…

Ironically, trolling relies on the majority "playing fair". If everyone were dicks and disobeyed every rule there would be no fun in trolling. But instead, the vast majority of people are there to play the game as it's set before them and that is fun for them. And then there are those who feel it's their duty to…

I agree. I don't know if it was a setup or not, but if it wasn't, then that was a moment from which those grieving (family members?) may have been able to find some peace, and instead it turned into something that was potentially even more painful on top of losing the life of someone they held dear.

I am not…

There is no "art" or "good" trolling. Trolling is just bad.

I fail to see the point where you say trolling is a good thing.

That Warcraft video, i dunno, i'm one of those people who think just cos it's not set in real life doesn't mean that it wasn't a very real moment of remembrance for some who had died, actually died...If you'd done that in real life only the worst people…

Clearly viral marketing for Star Trek Into Darkness. I hate how commercialized the solar system has become. When I was a kid, the Sun had integrity.

Wait... ah, crap, is that Kyp Durron in the Sun Crusher??? That explains it. Been nice knowing you all...

Agreed. Leona is the best champion ever!!

If this is how FFX-2 is going to be treated this many years after its release, I can't wait until 2020 when people realize just how great XIII was and everyone stops throwing crude insults every which way at the mentioning of its name.

X-2 had, hands down, the best combat system of all FFs prior to XIII. Fast-paced, on-the-fly class changes, high degree of customizability. What was not to love?

Leona in an ARAM is completely stupid. I giggle with glee when I get Leona or Lux.

Sanderson's worldbuilding is the best. I can't wait for the next Way of Kings!

I remember that is why Bronn refused to wear the Kingsguard armor because the heft and the cape would make him slow.

No, that's Leona's Iron Solari skin. Fiora (I think that's who you meant) has much lighter armor, since she's a duelist. Still guilty of the cleavage window though.

Is this Fiona? I like Leona's armor (just ditched WoW for LoL and am unhealthily addicted!)

Yup. This is how you do it.

My favorite female armor ironically is from League of Legends (usually known for the least practical of designs) While there's the hints of boob-plate (under-boob-plate?) the overlay would actually deflect blows to the sides. Also Leona's the most badass of characters. I love the design of the armor here though, very…

I'd say they made it better, the Mandarin of the comics would have been a joke on the screen. So they made him a joke, outright, in a way people didn't see coming. Brilliant, IMO.
