For the Corrupted Ashbringer hidden appearance for the Ashbringer. A series of untracked quests culminates, in part, in you having to fish up a void crystal from the river at Western/Eastern Plaguelands. It’s some very low random chance, think it took me like 8 hours or something. I had something like a thousand fish…

Warlock was interesting, I was just hoping it would have tied more into the story as a whole, since you know, demons. I was also hoping that this might finally be the point at which they let us permanently enslave demons a la hunters, but at this point I think that might be a pipe dream. I’d agree that the Paladin…

I’ll be honest, one of my biggest gripes this expansion is how little warlocks fit into anything. Look at our artifact weapons: Sargeras’ own staff that he used to open a portal to Azeroth and that Ner’zhul used to ultimately destroy Draenor, the floating head of one of the most powerful Draenei/eredar outside of the…

Argus is fine. Out of the three recent expansion endcap zones (Timeless Isle, Tanaan, and Argus), it’s probably the best. That said, I think this expansion was some seriously wasted potential. Every zone except Suramar, the Broken Shore, and now Argus are completely pointless in the grand scheme of things, basically…

So obviously I see the images, but I don’t understand what it is he is doing. The solid colors I imagine are just from filling and manipulating individual cells. How that comes together to create an image though I don’t get. Does he have a time lapse video anywhere of the process? 

You’re right in that ultimately all of this cosmetic stuff is meaningless, but at least in Overwatch once you have a skin it is yours. It’s not like you can only use it for a dozen battles before it’s gone. It would be less egregious if you bought it once and it was reusable.

My aunt and uncle have a home in Anguilla and where there during the hurricane. The structure is made of cinder blocks and reinforced with rebar, from my understanding, and is “hurricane proof.” They also had hurricane proof windows that I’ve been told by family members were rated for wind speeds in excess of 200…

In general, how well does Battlefield 1 portray World War One as a horrific tragedy, rather than just another war shootfest? I’ve been listening to Dan Carlin’s Blueprint for Armageddon series about the war (and having not really learned much about WWI in the 90s-00s American school system), I didn’t know much about…

I got into an argument with another commenter about the legality of sites like this. Their primary point of defense, both the commenter and the website that the article was describing, was that ripping the audio from YouTube videos was no different than recording a song off the radio or recording broadcast TV to VHS.…

New York style pizza with 2/3 (by weight) high gluten bread flour and 1/3 00 flour, made with a near 4 year old sourdough starter, 24 hours room temperature ferment and 72 hour cold ferment. Then again, I make that every weekend, so nothing particularly special. Also made a gooey butter cake with white chocolate chips…

I don’t have a problem with the article content, but just to be an ass because of the lede, it’s been in the 50s-70s for the past several days with rain in the D.C. metro area. Supposed to get back up to low 80s on Labor Day.

What is H2K’s LoL win record look like? Obviously the easiest response to their argument is “you get paid when you win, get gud.” If they are already a winning team and still are losing $1.1 million a year, then you have problems.

Given our current understanding of mental illness as well as the state of the fields, I would almost say that eliminating mental illness through gene modification is a functional impossibility. We can’t even fix diseases that are caused by a single known mutation to a single gene. We still know so little about the…

I’ve had good luck with the 8 and 12-inch T-fal Nonstick Professional Frypans. Together they can be had for around $60, if that, and can take a relative beating. My wife has used them practically everyday for the past two years, and while the bottoms are discolored from all the heating, the nonstick surface is still…

Possibility as Queen as a new character? Could be some flavor of defense, hopefully. Need a new defense character.

Except Eichenwalde really is tipped in the favor of defenders. I can’t remember if it was reported on Kotaku, or if I read it elsewhere, but the devs state that Eichenwalde is harder on attack than defense. Mentioned here, but it isn’t the article I was thinking of: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/blizzard-on-overwatc…

Yeah, it’s a bit TOO random honestly. Just when I feel like I’m getting in the groove of the character, I’ll die and have to play something else. I wouldn’t mind a similar mode where it is random at start and then you have to play that character the rest of the match, potentially allowing for duplicates (as long as…

More Overwatch while I think about the changes to Mercy and D.Va and reflect on how much Mystery Heroes is better than Quick Play.

I appreciate the review/preview Mike. For future mobile games, would it be possible to add a box or sidebar at the top of the article with the microtransaction/pay-to-win mechanics and how obnoxious they are? The game looks interesting, but it’s always a game of tempering expectations until you get to the part of the…

I recently purchased and set up a NAS with 4x 6TB drives in RAID 1+0 for this purpose, among other things. Won’t help me if my apartment burns down, but it’s nice to see it whiring away on my shelf. Considering how active the CloudStation software seems to be, I get the impression that it is constantly updating the…
