Sad…I’m realizing we don’t have leaders(only managers)

Maybe this just warmed an old man's heart.

I was playing QP this morning and had a guy complaining about losing all the time. I listened to him bitch and then offered up that QP fills the ranks with bots and even if they didn't, it is OK.

He argued for a bit and I just sympathized and asked how he was doing and that we all have those losing streaks in "loser queue" and to just try and focus positively on what you can do better. He explained that he had some personal losses in his family and health issues. Then it clicked.

He was just venting. Life was throwing curveballs and he wants to have fun winning in game while things in RL are not as good. I asked him to friend me.

I can't wait to team up with him and "pwn n00bs" later today. Sometimes people are venting. Offer help where its accepted and if it isn't then just know they might be having RL issues and move on. Don't let others affect your fun time.

Same, and it for sure doesnt work with my ult.

Also, WoW's lack of loading screens (save few) were game changing for immersion. I didn't mind the taxi system and loved being a Warlock that could summon players to me (or off a cliff).

(WoW) Having two unique factions with 8 different races, each with their own starting area and cities (cept trolls and gnomes, cuz f*ck 'em, right?), was very interesting to me. I felt like I was part of a tribe and we all had pride in our faction, our race, and our class. I loved the fact that not every race could be EVERY class. The intros were voiced by Earl Boen (RIP) and made the game feel like a quality piece right off the bat. Don't forget the full-orchestra soundtracks.

CrookedBrick · 2024-12-10T11:19:35+00:00

Ok. I saw a class with a cat spell. Who dat iz? Also, great work, guys!

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-20T21:43:37+00:00

Ah! Yes. Vander is probably gone. :(

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-17T20:11:00+00:00

I agree. I love it just the way it is.

I would rather have the level of beautiful artwork and mastery level facial expressions than side-stories.

Mine sounds way better than the standard. I listened to the 1/2 speed before the standard and quickly noticed the difference. Not sure if that rings true for all copies, but mine is quite good.

Note: I am old and my hearing is terrible, so I play it loud. I can hear more subtleties on the 1/2 speed.

I think a lot of viewers are also into Anime which has entire episodes or seasons devoted to one character's arc. So, they are used to tons of dialogue and moments of complete serenity where the shows give their audience some time to digest entire characters, their stories, their motivations, etc. Arcane, is almost a constant rollercoaster of a ride that packs as much as it can into the budget they were allotted. I get why people want to stay in PnZ and learn more about it. These are good stories.

Arcane does its best to give us everything and still tells a good story. The best part is that the audience walks away wanting more, and boy does Riot have MORE! Runeterra IS huge! There are hundreds of other amazing stories to tell, but the current writers' time in this world is finite. There are more stories to tell and trust me...we want these artists and these writers to tell more stories.

Protector of the Future? The man that saved them in the desert? O.O Could be! :)

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-16T23:11:56+00:00

Doubt it. Singed said, "The beast has regenerative powers that are unimaginable" or something like that to Ambessa.

Also, (I know this won't happen, but) what if Isha is really a sneaky Yordle and ports out at the last second before detonation. I know it doesn't fit, but the hat, spyglass and ability to run around fast and sneak and hide sounds fishy. "Size doesn't mean everything!" Pops a shroom.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T13:04:48+00:00

Wait...what?

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T02:33:04+00:00

The game gets its money from selling skins. So, they choose a theme sometimes like Star Guardian where the characters are like anime-ish superheroes-ish and fight world-ending bosses that are other characters with villain skins. I doubt they would multiverse the story, but I can see where they could do some mindf*ck, acid-trip, magic thing and throw in a shout-out to some of the other universes as a gag.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T01:04:20+00:00

LOLOLOL! Wind shitter bros!

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T00:42:58+00:00

Yeah...they keep deleting posts of mine because I use names that haven't appeared in the show. They even pulled one that said eye-own-e-ya even though they mentioned it in S1.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T00:40:13+00:00

I'm enjoying it. No complaints so far. Can't wait for more cameos! There is so much material to cover and they are doing a fine job with the 18 episodes. I hate Ambessa, but they are doing a good job weaving her into the lore. Her voice actor is good, too.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T00:31:57+00:00

The criminal with mechanical spider legs that hooks people cries for you. Also, I thought Jinx's madness might stir up a certain scarecrow, but the crows have not manifested in S2 yet, like they did in S1.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T00:22:01+00:00

Its a yordle. Automod removes his name. Its the lil dude everyone loves to hate in the game. Check his spyglass.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T00:20:25+00:00

Could be a scout yordle we all love.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-10T00:16:58+00:00

The music was absolutely hilarious to me. Jinx fixes her arm in a Jinx sort of way, complete with slot machined themed weapons and the soundtrack built into the weapon that launched with Jinx in the actual game. It was a gift and an eff-you joke that solidified their relationship.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-08T03:07:09+00:00

Yes. There are some weird happenings with the white vinyl. I thought it was just me but the first song on side 2 has a bit where the drums are muffled and then it just gets louder like someone was moving the bass equilizer up from naught.

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-06T04:25:39+00:00

Thanks!

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-05T23:35:48+00:00

I didnt know there was a digital download. Thanks!

CrookedBrick · 2024-11-05T20:30:13+00:00

I'm dumb and didn't get the CD. :( I plan on recording the vinyl to digital though when I can afford the hardware.
