It's buried in there a bit.  Lots of positive stuff about video games in general, which is definitely something to love.  But holy shit.  That is a LOT of WoW.

Holy fuck that is a lot of WoW. How long has that game been around? First time I ever heard of it was in that South Park episode.

I thought it had been around since the 80's or 90's. Are you sure about 2004?

There were Warcraft games before the MMO came out.

That must be what I'm thinking about then. I thought for sure WoW online was a lot older than DDO, but I guess not.

Only like 15 months, apparently.  Pretty interesting how quickly these things go.  Tongue

if that time was stacked linearly, the moon would have moved away from the earth 5.9 million inches.

Sounds impressive until you realize that it's less than a hundred miles. Grin

Since the Milky Way and Andromeda are on a collision course how much closer would these two galaxies be?
In 5.9 million years (Eventually it will be the most massive sight in the night sky)

And of course Oak will point up in the sky and prolly say "Hey look it's ur anus"  Shocked

And I'll wonder "Huh? he must finally be over his penis fetish"

Wow, you love me. There has been two big lag fixes in the past week. No, those are not going out with a hotfix. They are more wide ranging and take more time to test.
Of course every time you get like this, I keep wondering where your MMO is so I can play it. Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards.

And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time.
Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya.
So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.
