There is a relic on a platform in the sky that protects the raid from the “kill everything” mechanic. But it requires 3 players to stand on the pillars to activate the platforms, and a 4th to retrieve the shield, so these guys can’t get it with only 2 in the raid.

Blizzard charges for expansions to WoW, charges a monthly subscription and sells mounts, pets and account services via microtransactions.

What is the problem? A goat is a livestock animal. People eat them all the time.

The Joker isn’t crazy. Everyone else is.

Bungie’s community manager knows about Reddit, I promise you.

The only really powerful, incredibly random card is the Unstable Portal.

If Boom was a 9 drop, nobody would use him. Rag and Ysera would be better.

Boom is very powerful and versatile. So what? He is a legendary 7 drop. He replaced Rag in a lot of decks because you still get the bots if he catches a BGH.

Random is fine. Animal companion gives you one of a set of three creatures randomly. Each of the three animal companions is a very strong 3 drop, but all of them would be below curve as 4 drops.

Why are you reporting on these accusations from a “garbage self-published book” by an aggrieved former Yankees employee with no credibility?

If you are an artist, and you don’t want other people re-posting your videos to try to siphon off traffic for their own monetization schemes, these programs that automatically flag identical videos are kind of necessary.

Starcraft is the hardest game in the world to play well. The guys who were top pros 3 years ago are no longer top pros, because your reflexes degrade enough by your mid 20’s to end your Starcraft career. It’s like playing three pianos at once. It’s fucking insane.

I have seen no evidence that Stan Lee is not in full command of his faculties. If he wants to pimp his name and likeness at the expense of his reputation, that’s up to him.

Spending 200k in gold is not a particularly easy way to gear up. Warcraft tokens cost $20 cash and sell for around 24k gold on the auction house, and rare items like raid drop pets and TCG mounts have held steady values since Cataclysm, so despite the garrison gold influx, we have not seen hyperinflation, likely…

World of Warcraft is as hard as you want it to be. Mythic raiding is one of the most insane, masochistic exercises in all of gaming, and the high end of WoW is probably harder than it’s ever been. There is a whole lot of stuff going on in those fights. Rated Battlegrounds at higher levels also require a lot of…

Nostalgia distorts memory. The current game is a lot better. Players today would not tolerate the inconveniences of WoW circa 2005. People would try it and hate it.

The game depends on adding new accounts to compensate for older players leaving. Spending months leveling through sparsely populated legacy content is not an attractive new-player experience. Today’s 1-100 is the same as the 1-60 in Vanilla.

ELO boosting seems like a really minor offense. An ELO system is more or less self-correcting, because a player getting matched out of his league should have a sub-50% win percentage, which should deflate his rank back to wherever it belongs. The only real harm is that the players the boosted person was teamed with on…

An own goal looks a lot like a regular goal, but it’s very different.

Void prison freezes characters who enter it in place for several seconds, and they can’t do anything, move, or take damage. It will freeze allied characters as well, and the only character who can move through it without being frozen is Zeratul.
