Minor updates to World of Warcraft-related notes.
 |
World of Warcraft > World of Warcraft 7 (Legion) >
This is a second look at World of Warcraft pre-7.0 Discipline Priests, now that I’ve had World of Warcraft pre-7.0, a second look and some time has passed.
Summary: There is literally no way to understand any class or spec. This document is an exercise in futility.

Aliens are sending spores to colonize Earth, but when humans send a retaliatory force to their homeworld they learn the bugs are a far more dangerous foe than anticipated.
It’s a largely flawless movie. Amazing fun for what it is, which is the sort of military movie where only one soldier runs out of ammo once in the entire movie.

Based on Starship Troopers – (1959 book), by Robert A. Heinlein

This document will continue to collect notes as I bump into additional information.

These are notes directly related to your choice of character irrespective of your race/class choice.

counterfeit bills. Have anything

Here’s something similar:

"How old are you?, 25.. YOU SURE ARE.
That’ll be $80." *pulls out 80 dollar bill.
Doing a search on Twitter for pulls out bill gives too many results to be useful.

A meteor (I think) strikes the Atlantic Ocean, sending tidal waves that not only scour shores but destroy entire continents, the resulting wave of which approaches Australia. Except the tidal wave is made of fire for some reason.
I’ve not much to say about it. It’s a decent movie.

The apocalypse happens, and a bunch of average celebrities try to survive.
Moderately terrible. Worth a watch if you like these particular actors and their previous works.

Based on the short film Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse (2007 short movie), by Evan Goldberg and Jason Stone.

A way for me to understand and name things in this game.
Update: Fuck it, why bother? It’s unreasonable to have a personal journey.. the interface just sucks. There’s no concept of getting back to where one was. I hear waypoints might work, so I’ll give that a shot.. but perhaps in the next galaxy or some such.
DO NOT BUY. DO NOT TRY.

Explore, survive, gather and trade while making your way to the galactic core.
Every single described goal of this game has failed. It is a bad flight-simulator, with bad crafting, bad technology, and bad survival mechanics. It is set on procedurally generated planets so vast that nothing matters, in a procedurally-generated universe so vast that nothing matters. What’s worse is that it is so godawfully crowded with hand-holding that it becomes both easy and repetitive. Being ugly and with abysmal performance, it’s not even an exploration time-waster.
Perhaps in some years they will change/fix many of its issues, but I believe it has a fundamental casualness to it that anchors its core gameplay problems. This is not a game made for gamers.
2017-05-07 update: I tried it again, and it just isn’t worth it. If its graphics were the same as before (they’re busted now) then maybe. I have another video card but I’m not going to swap things around or fiddle with installing an old version of my card’s drivers. I just don’t want to bother any more.
