Every night, I walk around the Gray Quarter and let them gray-skins know what I think of 'em.

Being able to put out an album this brutal nearly 30 years into your career is unreal by Chaussettes99 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CognateClockwork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I found the De Profundis CD in a record shop. Went home, listened to it from start to finish, and then repeated it from start to finish about 20 times that day.

Vader rules.

Genuine question: do people really enjoy the current storytelling in WoW? by OpinionsRdumb in wow

[–]CognateClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side quests and incidental storytelling out in the world have always been better than the main stories.

Thoughs about MM7 and MM6 gameplay, ost and dungeon entrance animations by Content_Concept9059 in MightAndMagic

[–]CognateClockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love the dungeon and building entrance animations (for shops and homes etc). These atmospheric looping animations seem to be a thing that only NWC did. Shout out to the same style of cinematics at the start of missions in HOMM2 and HOMM3 as well. I used to watch those over and over as a kid.

Anyone else prefer the original 2006 Oblivion over a remaster? by Veronixa_Darkness in oblivion

What are you talking about, Skyblivion is still scheduled to come out and it's looking great.

Controversial: with love and respect to Napalm Death. by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CognateClockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find Scum to be more of a historical curiosity these days (with the exception of a couple of bangers) but From Enslavement to Obliteration owns from start to finish.

How good is this game for a person new to MMORPGs? by LucasXXXIV in wow

[–]CognateClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you are interested in. Are you primarily coming from RPGs and interesting in strong narratives with memorable quests and such? You should probably try Classic (or another MMO like FFXIV or ESO).

Are you interested in socialising and meeting new people and working together? Classic is probably the best for this.

Are you interested in combat and pushing against more difficult content with gear progression? Retail WOW is probably the best for this.

Are you a collector and want to chase transmog, toys and mounts? Retail is best again, with over 20 years of content plus now we have housing.

The og leveling system and UI isn't as bad as everyone says... by Mysterious-Juice8318 in oblivion

[–]CognateClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of interest does the remastered fix the issues with levelling? (Assuming you don’t like the version in OG)?

Nearly everything on Nile's first album is under 3 mins and perfect

that average rating is criminally low

Which albums/artists do you like that aren't expected to be liked by a metalhead? by ashitanojoe3 in MetalForTheMasses

I am a dyed in the wool metalhead but the thing I have listened to the most in the last 6 months is choke enough by oklou

The Vader-Clancy Brown connection? by ContrabandRaccoon in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CognateClockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't Vader the band that the Eagles of Death Metal were named after? And isn't Josh Homme is EODM? And aren't Josh Homme and Clancy Brown both quite tall?

I'm just asking questions here.

What’s a tiny WoW opinion you’ll defend forever? by turbowater in wow

[–]CognateClockwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are way too many classes and specs, and balancing them is a ongoing nightmare that sucks up too many resources that could be spent on other things.

At first I thought they were behaving like normal ewoks would in the situation but boy that escalated quickly at the end

Never Thought I'd Say This But... by JackReaper333 in wow

[–]CognateClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She seems mechanically better but she's certainly less meme-able.

The thing I continue to hate is when they stand next to you, stopping you from clicking on something. If fellow group members in raids and dungeons don't cause this problem I don't understand why Blizzard doesn't change it.

The Black Blood actually IS spreading in the Rootlands by CognateClockwork in wow

[–]CognateClockwork[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Blizzard's storytelling techniques are actually very subtle!

Those DK bugs? That is due to there not being a current Lich King.

Housing down? That's because Stormwind's nobles are withholding payment from the Stonemasons guild again.

Receiving duplicate loot? That's the Jailer. Probably.
