    Honestly the only issue with TLJ is the casino planet lasting too long and even then it's a pacing issue not a story issue.

    Into the Spiderverse is my all time favorite animated movie and it's not even close. I really, really hope they stick the landing on Beyond because if they do then SpiderVerse gets to enter the pantheon of perfect trilogies and there aint a whole lot of em.

    Star Wars movies were an abomination. Prequel trilogy is Kubrick level art compared to it. Not sure how they came up in this thread but they aren't really worth discussing imo. Soulless Disney cash grab

    Blizzcon isn't E3.

    this seems very likely. Activision mentioned it in a social media post, then the head of Xbox talked about it last week:

    "When we finished Bethesda, there was this great moment. We were able to put a bunch of the back catalog games in and celebrate their history[...] The truth of the matter is with Activision Blizzard King, the regulatory process took so long, and frankly, there was a lot of uncertainly in that process up until really a week before we closed or the week of when the CMA finally came down to their decision, that we weren't able to get in and work with mostly Activision and Blizzard in this case on that back catalog work.

    So now that the deal is closed, we're starting that work. But there is work. And I know I think the Activision Twitter handle did put out something that talked about 2024 — I think that's accurate. I would love it if there was some kind of secret celebration drop that's coming in the next couple of weeks — there’s not, definitely, when we think about the new games that are there.

    "I would be straight with people, right? If we were going to put them in the subscription this year, I would tell people. I know there'll be some disappointment about that. This acquisition is definitely long-term. So the fact that we're not hitting day one, with a bunch of games dropping into Game Pass, is a little bit of a downer, but I'm very excited about the future, and I just want to be straight with people that that’s where we are."

    Let's be honest there are funny cash grabs and horrible cash grabs, the sequel trilogy is just a crime against all that is sacred

    Edit: and don't get me started on Luke Skywalker in TLJ, interesting idea executed poorly

    I think that's Bellular? I don't follow any WoW influencers though so everything I know about them has been learned against my will.

    Bellular, youtuber. He did credit ercarp thankfully, although I think they were a little backhanded at ercarp's work. Appreciative, but joking

    Schreier apparently reported a while ago that the survival game isnt going to be at this years event. I think its just a longer ceremony.

    I mean, all the people who put this much time into things definitely have a little something wrong with them, in the best possible way. Believe me, I'd know.

Very unfortunate what they did too her and Steve Denasur is constantly high of his own farts. I hope Chris fixes this fucking mess.
    Metzen is the one who turned Illidan, Kael, Vashj and Arthas into generic super villains.

    All this info about the schedule on this website is a total mess. I've spotted at least six different errors...

    I'm in the same boat on that one!

    If it's one thing I've learnt it's that a geek with a spreadsheet is always a blessing and we should all count ourselves lucky

    Not some bread crumbs spread out in obscure places.
    Who said a lore build up was required? Devs saying that they would like us to go to a popular location multiple times at multiple interviews also constitutes a build up. Easter eggs getting dropped about a popular location over the course of multiple expansions also constitutes a build up. It also means that the location is popular enough to get asked repeatedly by the fan base and get in-game easter eggs on a regular basis.

    Avaloren ain't that place because it hasn't been around long enough. It's only been mentioned once in some obscure piece of lore.

    What I hate about Bellular is half his videos are "wow sucks now" his other half is "oh my god someone related to wow so much as farted. Let's make a 20 minute video about it."

    I'm fairly certain 99% of what he does is for attention and nothing else.

    Say what you will about Pyromancer and his anger issue, but when he felt like WoW started to suck he switched games and pretty much never looked back as far as content creation is concerned.

    Good or bad thing ?
    Neither. They probably just want to avoid the potential of dealing with people asking random questions about lawsuits or other crap that has little to do with the announcements or game.
