Refugees as weapons, what a weird time we are in

Well, the thing about everyone wielding an iconic weapon is a bit more than just appearance. But any sense of RP or character in WoW's changed a lot - or at least my sense of it. I preferred the old talent trees where I could mix and match a lot more and get neat things like my Holy/Prot Pally and seemed less pigeonholed, heh. Is just funny timing to do this right after announcing another drop when they could have done it midway before the first decline in WoD to avoid the optics of this. Hopefully Legion isn't all lies ;p

Well, this week is Blizzcon so maybe we'll get more Legion info. Though I am slightly unimpressed by the artifact thing, even with cosmetic changes, will be a bit boring how homogenized the game seems to feel these days - though I suppose everyone in the same gear was always an issue, heh. Should be a good test to see how many people were burned by WoD, I suspect it'll make up for all the losses at least initially. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/blizzard-will-no-longer-report-world-of-warcraft-s/1100-6431943/ No longer reporting sub numbers, heh.

Well, the bleeding had to stop eventually, WoD really didn't turn out as well as it could have but oh well. As for the Community sucking, heh, well any run in LFG or LFR will prove that. Never before have I wanted so many strangers dead.

What, don't you know violence done well is f**king hilarious

Decided to get rid of the surplus chocolates to coworkers, but am having a little experiment. Given that it is immediately after Halloween and this is a tradition (or what passes for one in this office), I just left them in a pile on a desk. No one's even taken one yet, just walking past it. Hopefully someone will bring in Reese's pieces, plan is to secure all of them before anyone else can get them.

Not sure what version this footage is taken from - beta or release or what have you. That dog's animations are pretty bad.

Harper definitely is a BSD dev with that attitude.

Far less kids showed up for Halloween this year so I have a lot of surplus chocolate bars and so on. Could give them to coworkers but really have none I give two ****s about.

Chu always strikes me as that guy in Uni that fancied himself as Sun Tzu or Clausewitz.

Russian plane crashed over Egypt, ISIS is claiming responsibility apparently, but no one is really that convinced. http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/oct/31/russian-passenger-plane-crashes-in-egypts-sinai-live

Not me. I am of the mind that people are just slabs of meat and our existence is short and pointless. Nothing about us is special and life is ultimately without meaning or purpose. I think it's a pretty optimistic view of things. Heard Linkin Park while reading this.

Wu will say the same old stuff. Gamers need empathy, etc.

Interestingly, FORTRAN and COBOL aren't dead, former is getting a revision in 2018 and the latter had one last year, I think. You can also find books for them on Amazon
