Re: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

Cross Realm Zones finally finished my WOW experience. The level of idiocy just got too much to handle. I understand it's not active in Pandaland for now, but it's only a matter of time.

Re: What the fuck, Cisco?

The Cisco Small Business line is just rebranded Linksys equipment and software, I'm afraid. But if it happens again you should still be able to call in a TAC case and see about getting a replacement or seeing if there's a bugfix. Good Luck!

Re: New World of Warcraft expansion: 3.0.2 patch update

My main recently hit 66, and I've been playing it for years (of course, I also have a gazillion alts). I'm in the game for the RP, and for the exploration, and have this obsession with actually seeing all the content, so when TBC hit, I got stuck in BRD since no one would do the instance. In fact, ...

Re: New World of Warcraft expansion: 3.0.2 patch update

Horde-side, Silvermoon city's usually clean of infection. The fact that it's so huge and patrolled by Arcane Guardians immune to infection probably help as well. The funniest part was when a bunch of zombies tried to sneak into Silvermoon through the orb via UC, and wiped on Lor'themar pretty much ...

Just got finished with it last night. It strikes me in a similar vein as Descent of Angels - frankly, that it was a short story or manuscript already written, that someone at the BL picked up and said "Hey, we can change a couple of things around here and make it a HH book!" I really hope ...

Unless they do something akin to the old Robin of Sherwood show that was on ITV way back when and replace the main actors.

Desperate production companies will beat a horse to death, departing stars or not.

Dross. Unmitigated dross from start to finish. Every plot point from the generational 'zomg only seven days lol" war to the shooting / regeneration (or side effect of the terraforming cloud, whatever), was telegraphed in advance so heavily it actually made my head hurt. And I also agree with th...

Frankly, I've always felt that this is by far the weakest of the HH series so far. In fact, it reads to me like it was another story completely (Perhaps even one that could of been set in the Warhammer series rather than 40K) that had some changes and additions bolted onto it to port it into the HH ...

MMR was created in the '60s and used widespread in the '70s (I'm going by Wikipedia here, I'm too comfy sitting here to check my microbiology texts which likely wouldn't go into NHS dates anyway).

As AV has already stated, "pox parties" were acceptable in an age before vaccines. I remember being asked to go play with a kid down the street once when I was about 7. Two or three other boys who I didn't know too well were there also. A few days later I came down with a lovely case of Mu...

Aren't earthquakes basically earth shifting along fault lines? :P *facepalm* :). Generally, what tremors there are in the UK are caused by the ground falling away into large underground sinkholes and the like, I think they're known as a collapse earthquake. Much shallower and less dramatic than a t...

It was good to see Ray doing more than being a knuckle dragging moron.

However, I have revised my opinion of the series downwards. I think my initial enthusiasm was fueled by the joy of seeing some old friends again. It's still great, but not up to LoM standards... yet, perhaps.
