New Roles, Races and Classes?

Image
  Hello again. I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff about World of WarCraft Forever on Reddit and YouTube, it’s gotten to the point where all the good points have been made and now people are just repeating the same negativity posts over and over so I’ve muted those subreddits. But now those posts and videos have given me plenty more thoughts to sit on. I’ve seen people showing viable shaman tanking, for low level dungeons so far at least, people still asking for Ogres, more classes, ect. So yeah, I’ll just start and without a doubt get sidetracked somewhere, let’s-a-go.             I came upon a YouTube channel that has shaman tank videos, among other WoW things. He seems to have been doing some of this in The Burning Crusade but now has videos in Forever and even though right now there’s no tank like abilities from Season of Discovery, he’s been able to tank through the current dungeons in Forever. It makes me excited because in...

World of WarCraft Foreverrrr

Image
                 Hello! Well Blizzard had their convention and they announced the thing, Classic Plus, or World of WarCraft Forever as it is now known. People have questions, concerns, hope and distain. I don’t understand how people can complain, at length, about something they don’t like or won’t play. I complain about crap I like and wish it were better. Some people are like “This isn’t Classic Plus, it’s Retail Minus” and it’s like yeah sure, it sounds like what you want is right over there . I guess to an extent that could be considered the same as what I do, I don’t know. You tell me. Mostly if I don’t like something I just say “Yeah I don’t really care for Monster Hunter Wilds or Ascendance and I think I’ll just wait for the next one.” I don’t go in depth about how it should be changed to fit me specifically. I understand it’s not my thing and kind of move on.             So ...

Monsterverse and September Nintendo Directs

Image
  Hello. Something a little different today, I felt like talking about movies again, like I do from time to time and some videogame stuff like usual. Today I wanted to talk about Godzilla/the “Monsterverse.” Like, I would say overall I don’t reallllly like the movies. They have a few good fights in them but overall they’re not great? The movies just don’t make sense half the time, maybe I’m just stupid. The main thing is I just do not care about the people in these movies at all, I just don’t. I like the people a lot more in the AppleTV show. I think Skull Island was done the best so far. There was a healthy mix of human and monster stuff. I don’t really care about the Monarch family in King of the Monsters and Godzilla X Kong. I like the Iwi tribe and the girl but I thought it was kind of dumb in New Empire they were revealed to be telepathic. I don’t understand how in GxK the Apex people thought there was an energy source in the Hollow Earth and even how they were able to dev...

Game Pacing annnnd Other Ramblings

Image
              Hello. I stated this quite a while ago but kind of didn’t know where to go with it. Like a month ago now I was trying to play and finish games I just haven’t along with playing some classic PlayStation, PlayStation 2 games. I started playing Lollipop Chainsaw RePop on my breaks at work but was in the middle of a level, accidentally, quit out of it, had to restart it, trying to figure out how the hell to heal so I was Googling stuff. I came across some Reddit post of the person saying something like “Why is this game so addicting? I meant to play for only 15 minutes but have been playing for over an hour.” After now finishing the game, playing other older games and still trying to finish Assassin’s Creed Shadow I can say the answer to that question is the pacing. In Lollipop Chainsaw you go from fighting a room of zombies to a minigame of some sort, fight zombies, minigame. Even original God of War is like this. Ro...

Gaming Innovation, Nostalgia and Achievement Hunting

              Hello. I swear I’ve posted some of this before but I cannot find it anywhere. Maybe I’ve posted bits and pieces but oh well, it’s not like anyone reads this thing anyways. IF for some reason I have a dedicated fan that has read all my stuff and this sounds familiar; I’m sorry.             I started playing games when I was still in diapers, so I’m told. It was the NES, my parents got it for my sister but she wasn’t at the house throughout the week so I played it. I remember a lot of Tiny Toons, Mario 3, Mega Man 3, Ninja Turtles 3, Bubble Bobble. We moved when I was seven so my parents gave the NES to my sister since it was for her afterall. I eventually got a Sega Genesis, from a cousin I think but I really liked the Sega. Sonic 2, VectorMan 2, Light Crusader, Mazin Saga Mutant Fighter. I rented Light Crusader a lot and it had a save feature on it, which wa...

Physical VS Digital

Image
                 This whole Sony going discless is still affecting me more than I thought it would. I’m probably more of a digital/PC gamer but it still is a shit move. The more time goes on the more I hate that I’ve sold all my old consoles. I took care of my shit so when I buy second hand stuff, like Wiimotes, they’re not great, buttons kind of stick, yatta yatta. I’ve bought games multiple times, either I had it on the 360, sold it but then got it on PC, probably on a sale, but I have bought games two, sometimes even three times. I’ve bought Monster Hunter World and Iceborne on PS5 and PC, I almost think I bought it on release, returned it and bought it digitally on PS5. I’ve wasted SO much money on re-buying things. If I had kept my old stuff I probably wouldn’t buy some other remakes/remasters as well. If I still had my original Crash Bandicoots I probably wouldn’t have gotten the N. Sane Trilogy because there’s nothing really added...

How to Kill Your Brand

Well well well. After my last post I was planning on going into how I was the biggest Xbox fan back in the day and then have just lost faith in them and now Sony decided they wanted to be a disappointment too. I guess I’ll just try to go in chronological order and start with the 360 and get to now and Sony.             I got into Xbox back during the original Halo CE. During an event at school, my friends had secured a room and several TVs and brought their Xboxs to LAN Halo. It was my first time playing Halo or an Xbox but I was hooked. I can remember playing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, thinking of what my gamer tag should be. The 360 came out and I still think it's one of coolest consoles we’ve had. I liked how when you played co-op games on the same Xbox/TV your controller would show you which player number you were, I’m assuming that it corresponded to which screen you were on the split TV but I don’t know for certain, it wo...
