For a while now, I’ve really gotten into a silly text prediction game called AI Dungeon, which is basically what it says on the tin. Except, its text generation is trained off of second person choose-your-own-adventure stories and fan fiction and things like that.
So I’m sitting here, bored out of my mind while waiting for a Waycrest Dungeon queue to pop on my alt, when I figure I’ll load up an old story and let the text advance on its own. My character in the story proceeds to go home, log onto his computer and turn on World of Warcraft to start playing. There’s something weirdly meta about this.
It's past six now so you decide to get online and do what most guys do on a Friday night.
Holy, the new expansion for World of Warcraft just came out! You know you'll be playing that for the next couple of months.
Why is it taking so long to load? God damned WiFi, says you deserve fiber optic cables...well, at least by 2016 you'll have those.
Once on, you start chatting with your friend, who's already playing the new expansion. You're quite sure you'll be chatting with him a lot over the next days. He wants to know what race you'll pick. He's playing Night Elf again, like he did in the previous expansion. He says that they're the best, although you're thinking on choosing something else, since he always plays the best race.
After another ten minutes of loading, the game's finally on. You'll be playing late into the night and tomorrow-- well, the rest of the weekend. God, you've got no life.
Is anyone else incredibly tired of Chromie? She’s not the leader of the bronze dragons, why is she everywhere when they’re involved instead of Nozdormu? Even in the Chamber of Heart, and Nozdormu isn’t so much as mentioned.
Chromie does kind of bug me a little… especially if I think about her… but she hasn’t gotten my rage bubbling over just yet.
She is kinda over used, but I guess she is the most “friendly” of the bunch. She is a Gnome - an Alliance Race - which gets me fuming about Alliance Race NPCs hogging up all the lore and screen time… but she has been fairly neutral, so I can forgive her a bit.
She is a bit grating, but tolerable. She can easily bubble over into the “bleh” side if she starts being Pro Alliance / Anti Horde. But she has straddled that neutral line well, so I give her a bit of a pass. With Chromie Time, it looks like she will maintain that position.
Members of the Horde, like Garrosh and Eitrigg, have worked with other Bronze Dragons. So that’s nice. She doesn’t hog the whole Bronze Story, at least.
I always thought the unicorns in Azsuna with blue energy trails would’ve made a nice racial mount for Silver Covenant High Elves. It’d be like an upgrade to the unicorn mount they had in the Argent Tournament.
I not sure why but my computer isn’t running WoW very well. It runs other games, some with better graphics, just fine. I’ve been working trying to solve the problem for a few days but I still can’t figure it out. I might try it on my lap top to see if it’s just this computer.
It may surprise the rest of you but Names and Fashion Sense can’t be copyrighted.
Patterns on Clothing, Architecture and Character Design on the other hand…
In otherwords you can rip off Gwen from Guild Wars’s Pre-Searing version(the name Gwen can’t be Trademarked as it is a common name) yet can’t copy her Outfit’s Pattern nor her Hair, characterization and Eyes for any TV Show.
You at the very least must change the Hair Color as well as the Flower Pattern on her Clothing(as well as the Pattern on her belt)!
None of Trials of Mana’s locations are Trademarked to my knowledge nor can they be copyrighted aside from the Architecture.
Stock Anime Characters can be used by name and fashion sense provided the Name isn’t Trademarkable.
Apparently Chibiusa and Sailor Moon’s Hairstyles aren’t distinct enough to Copyright… After all Chibiusa had her hair taken by WoW for Shadowlands!
I had a similar problem after the patch of wow being the only thing on my computer that wasn’t working right. Turned out the patch turned on my fps cap option for some strange reason.
Sargeras was just a creep crushing on a baby. He needed a visit from Chris Hansen. Though I guess in the end he did take a seat over there now that I think about it.
