I live in the area and have checked it out a few times. It’s kind of neat if you know the story but it’s pretty much a lump of rubble. The standing ‘tombstone’ was torn down a loooong time ago.

They added high-resolution versions of all Warcraft 3 art assets to the SC2 map editor a while ago didn’t they? I imagine someone has started rebuilding the campaigns?

What happens if Abathur clones Cho’gall?

There’s reportedly a new Crucible map as well

Ah, yes. One of my favorite words ever is ‘misericorde’, defined by the Devil’s Dictionary as “a dagger which in mediæval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.”

A lot of these timeclock stories sound par for the course for retail/service jobs. At Regal Entertainment, we switched to a thumb scanner on the timeclock that of course, never worked, and managers never altered time logs to fix it.

Item levels are normalized in all crucible modes except Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris which are both non-standard limited time events.

Aren’t all Year 1 crucible maps now in rotation in Classic regardless of whether or not you bought Dark Below or House of Wolves?

Listening to this gave me chills. This is the kind of storytelling I wish was actually IN the game.

Lots of legendary folks from back in the day are not super great at delivering a good game anymore. John Smedley. Richard Garriot. Peter Molyneux. Chris Crawford.

I said SOME hiccups.

I remain at maximum excitement levels, because what initially drew me to Blompkamp’s work is his visual style and what initially drew me to Alien/Aliens was the visual style. I can forgive some plot hiccups for a fantastic looking movie, I think.

Am I understanding this wrong, or is this just a clone of Damned, which has been on steam for some time?

I kind of just assume The xx is the default sex music for most people under 23.

I’m going to start buying cases of Rip-It and selling them outside e-sports venues.
