i remember someone tweeted kosak about sabellian being forgotten in outland and he responded like “oh well we have thousands of characters we cant possibly keep all of them up”

which i totally understand because yeah WoW is a huge place, but at the same time blizzard has abandoned so many formerly important character and plotlines that exact same excuse could be used to conveniently justify literally dozens of forgotten characters and storylines

blizzard verbatim admitted they don’t give a fuck about lore now and only want to focus on gameplay, ignoring the fact that the lore established from the first three games is basically what got them off the ground as the only true successful pay to play MMO

i was considering resubbing today but honestly, this seals away the chance of me ever thinking that again

bye blizz

Actually, Blizzard said that they work lore in when they can, but when push comes to shove gameplay will come first.  That’s not ‘don’t give a fuck’ by a long shot.  If they didn’t give a fuck, we wouldn’t have gotten things like the recent short stories or the ‘Burdens of Shaohao’ series.

I’m sure that gameplay trumps everything, as it should, since thats what actually pays the bills.

Biology’s cruel joke goes something like this: As a teenage body goes through puberty, its circadian rhythm essentially shifts three hours backward. Suddenly, going to bed at nine or ten o’clock at night isn’t just a drag, but close to a biological impossibility. Studies of teenagers around the globe have found that adolescent brains do not start releasing melatonin until around eleven o’clock at night and keep pumping out the hormone well past sunrise. Adults, meanwhile, have little-to-no melatonin in their bodies when they wake up. With all that melatonin surging through their bloodstream, teenagers who are forced to be awake before eight in the morning are often barely alert and want nothing more than to give in to their body’s demands and fall back asleep. Because of the shift in their circadian rhythm, asking a teenager to perform well in a classroom during the early morning is like asking him or her to fly across the country and instantly adjust to the new time zone — and then do the same thing every night, for four years.

I had a guy come in and sit in my section today. When I went up to the table and asked what I could get them to drink, he said “Umm yeah, you’re going to have to be faster and take our order with our drinks because I have a flight to catch in less than an hour and if I’m late I’m going to have you fired.”

Really?

I’m not the one who made the decision to go out to eat when I have a flight to catch. If you want to catch your flight you should be going through mcdonalds. You don’t need to be an asshole, I’ll try to get the food out ASAP, but when you threaten to have me fired you’re setting yourself up for a lot of bad karma coming your way.

Oh man I hope he has a long line at security

And then gets selected for ‘extended screening’

I just realized that for Thrall to use Astral Recall at the beginning of the Madess of Deathwing encounter, it would mean that he has his hearthstone set to the middle of the Maelstrom.

Help

Milanda is balancing a coffee cup on her head

Update: She just set in on my head and said she’s be very angry if I took it off before she got back from the bathroom

Hey Vara.

I’m doing the thing.

Hey Bark are you on the right post or did I miss something?

No that’s the right post.

So this is Tev:

 During Dragon*Con Vara would throw Tev at me.

And between a phone and a camera and whatever I pulled out of my bag it was just easier to balance Tev on my head than hold him.

So I have a number of coffee cups in my office that I never use…

Well, now you know.
