    Just pointing out the inconsistency of European time measurement.

    One set of rules for seconds/minutes/hours, a different set for days/months/years.
    When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like injustice.

    Do US clocks say 59:11:59? You know, because of M/D/Y for dates.
    But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.

    Gallywix is just gold in the Horde cinematic, and both have a really nice atmosphere. They're some of the best cinematics yet, really. The shots, the dialogue, it's all really good.

    Most to least important information in both cases. It is consistent.

    "European time measurement" lol

    You Yanks like to lable things in just the right way to position your own perspectives as a competing option, as if this was ever a competition in the first place.

    Just had a thought. The illgonoyth line(idk how to spell his name) “The king of diamonds has been made a pawn” Gallywix is clearly very rich which would imply he has a lot of diamonds therefore making him the king of diamonds. He’s the one who told Slyvanas about Azerite, which we are going to use heavily in BFA perhaps the old gods have corrupted Gallywix and made him tell the players about a ‘powerful new item’ which will lead to us being corrupted or something?

    Nope. I just think it's weird Europe puts days before months because Americans don't base it on "Most important information first" but the lowest maximum value first when it comes to recording time.

    12/31/99 in the same way Hours and Minutes can reach 12 and 59 respectively. (With seconds also hitting 59).

    It's a cultural difference that often gets overlooked in favor of "LoL! Those Silly Americans!" without understanding the underlying reasons.

    Kinda like how America uses Fahrenheit which is based on human bodies and is more useful for evaluating the freezing temperature of Brackwater (Such as you might find in river deltas and sheltered coves or bays which are much more common in the US than Europe) at 0, rather than Freshwater.

    There's all these fascinating little bits that get ignored... and I love those little bits.

    I love how Saurfang went "Nothing good has ever come out of Silithus."

    I love that both cinematics are just talking and character interaction, really wish they could do it more often.

    Thought it was Rokhan, but it looks too female-ish...
    For the Horde!

    What the hell is Brackwater? Google gives only WoW mail set and some LotRO links...


    Also, if your still water freezes at -17 C, I'm sceptical it is water at all at that point.
