Guide on how to play WoW post-Vanilla. Honestly, one of the things I hated about post-Vanilla WoW was that gear took a greater precedent than skill in the game, and the faster leveling because you'd have people hitting level cap that have no idea what they're doing with the class. Such as a Heroic Nexus I did in Wrath with a group talking crap about me using Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros, but I assured them if my DPS was too low I'd switch to my legitimate weapon. I was doing 40% of the group's damage. The fury warrior, the most outspoken against my shiny orange weapon, was doing 400dps, at level 80. I posted the damage meters and legitimately asked him how we was only doing 400 damage (I honestly wanted to know), and he got saddlesore, and rage quit the group. Rest of the group asked if we should find a replacement, and I told them, "No, it's not like we haven't been four manning it since the beginning anyway." We all laughed, and finished the heroic. The worst part is, though, is that Blizzard caters to these people and rather than making it so they have to learn how to play, they just nerf anything that gives them trouble. "What's that, Icecrown Citadel is already on farm status for almost everyone in the world, but there's a handful of people that still can't clear it? Nerf it immediately!" That, right there, killed WoW. God I miss it!

What is something that you dislike, but everyone else loves?
Vy'drach replied to Wubsie's topic in General Discussion
Hey, Gangnam style is genuinely catchy and has a hilarious video to boot. Showed it to my friends and their reactions forever sealed my like for that song/video combination. -
What is something you really want to do, but can't stick to?
Vy'drach replied to Wubsie's topic in General Discussion
Lose weight, learn computer arts programs like photoshop and what not, and learn other languages (the last one hurts as I want to learn Greek, Russian, Italian, German, Japanese, and Finnish). -
Huggles, the ironically named unhuggable one.

An Italian and Mediterranean food place owned by a friend of the families called Victorio's. Funnily enough, in some of those pony billboard pictures that became popular online, you can see another restaurant he's added called Victorio's(though he doesn't run that one), but has since shut down due to the American economy. Well ok, you only see it in the one. Anyway, everything is made from scratch there. His pizza ruined all other pizza for me.

What's your favorite fast food joint?
Vy'drach replied to ~The Snowy Wolf~'s topic in General Discussion
Arby's. Mmmm, I can eat a ton of those roast beef sanviches with that Arby's barbeque sauce. Things are damned delicious and I can't get enough of 'em. -

I've had two. I'll start with the normal one then the creepy one. Normal one was it was Octavia's birthday, and I was a friend of her's for a long time (I should also point out that it was the mental frame that neither of us were adults, early teens at the latest, in the dream that is), and it was one of those boring birthday things so we split off from the party to just hang out. That's all I remember, was nothing weird or what not, was just two friends hanging out and having fun, though it was weird because Octavia wasn't that notable to me until after that dream. The weird one was after reading some Lovecraft, ah hell, just gonna copy paste it from somewhere else. Also, had a bit of a run in with some nightmare ponies. I was about to drift to sleep, then I just started hearing random noises. Basically it was kind of like random people yelling, cars honking, and construction going on, and it reminded me of a super busy city street corner, so I actually pictured something like a downtown NYC street corner, with cars honking, people yelling, and jackhammers going off. Then a building disappeared, and behind it was, as best as I can describe as a giant, mutant, demon Rarity. Or rather, the skin of one, as there were no eyes, and it seemed hollow. The mouth also ended in more like a tube, kinda like she was saying, "OH!" and there were narrow, sharp teeth interlocking to the point you could not see the inside of the mouth. Then it proceeded to walk sideways away behind some of the other buildings. Keep in mind I didn't see the whole body, just basically the head and back. Then a mutant like creature began crawling over the land, with it's body kind of shifting forms. The arms are short, then they stretch out freakishly long to pull the body over to them, with the legs stretching to keep up. Only thing that remained constant, was basically the lack of a recognizable face, and being Applejack coloured. Then came the last I saw, which as best as I can describe is what it would look like if Pinkie and Cthulhu ever had a child. It was a Cthulhu like head, with Pinkie's hair and body colour, with plenty of tentacles coming out of the mouth, on top of what looked like a starfish (in between the arms as opposed to in the center), with tentacles coming out of all five of the arms. Keep in mind I did not actually fully fall asleep at all. These are what I saw when I was awake. As disturbing as they were to see, I can't help but feel proud of the fact that I whole-heartedly believe H.P. Lovecraft himself would approve of the creatures.

My user name is actually taken from that RTS. Go look up the Spearmaster class of Predator. And as for why Predators kill the kainde amedha en masse, it's because for one the Yautja's blood mostly neutralizes the kainde amedha's acidic blood, and Yautja equipment (outside of the incredibly canon contradicting movies) is made partially of their tissue making it very resistant to the acidic blood. Otherwise, it's two species with similar physical prowess fighting, but the Yautja train their entire life for the hunt, and take combat to an art form, where the kainde amedha are largely unintelligent and rush forth blindly to protect the hive, with no regard for personal safety, usually seeking to swarm the opponent, which makes them cannon fodder. Unless, of course, there is no hive and it's only a few or an individual specimen(s), which they will be cautious and stealthy as it's imperative they survive since a drone can become a queen and start a new hive. As far as Silent Hill having gimmicks, I was talking about resource starvation (limited health and ammo), as well as jump scares. The enemies themselves were easily dispatched and posed little threat. Don't get me wrong, Silent Hill 1/2/3 was a great game, but it was fun for being able to beat an enemy to death with a pipe or whatever your weapon of choice was.

Characters that grew on you (or did the opposite)
Vy'drach replied to Silly Lily's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I didn't hate any, but Trixie, Snips, Snails, and Rarity. Trixie because she's an attention horse, but good fanart, fanon, and conversations with friends changed that: Snips and Snails just grew on me, and Rarity didn't have any good air time at first, and was just shown to be a prima donna and a drama queen. But then she got good air time and I love her like I love the others. Plus that whole bit in A Dog and Pony Show. -

I tend to be immune to "horror" games. Mostly because most horror games rely on gimmicks and jump fears to make the game scary. I especially dislike jump fears because they're misleading. They're often nothing dangerous, and you can get the same reaction with a game leading you down a bright, cheery path through a park when suddenly, *pop* there appears an adorable Fluttershy in the middle of the road. It's an "Ahh! There's suddenly something when there was previously nothing" thing. Amnesia, Fatal Frame II, the Silent Hills, the Resident Evils, the Dead Spaces, stuff like that doesn't scare me. You can't gimmick me into fear, and by gimmick I mean things like resource starvation or the lack of weaponry. I will admit Cry of Fear did have a few moments, but it's still mostly jump scares. Three games that did scare me, from least to most, however, are The Thing, Dino Crisis and Aliens vs. Predator (the original PC one, called Classic 2000 on Steam). The Thing was mostly because I was relatively young, but the part where you first really come across large things was where three of them are circling outside a building. I looked outside a window and saw one do a combination run/slither past it, and I backed up and was something like, "Yeahno. I am not going out there with those bastards." So I stayed inside looking for supplies and trying to get my courage up to go out and fight them when there was a loud bang and suddenly the three things were in the room with me. I emptied my gun into them a few times, wondering why their health wouldn't go below red, until I remembered they need to be finished off with fire, so I whipped out my flamethrower and roasted them, about to wet myself the entire time. Then there's Dino Crisis, which is scary because it's Resident Evil without the slow, stupid zombies, but fast, usually intelligent raptors instead (they had trouble with laser fences). The enemies were actually very dangerous, which is where the fear came from. Then there's the T-Rex. Your first encounter is a jump scare, but it's a proper jump scare. It's not some weak enemy you now have to unequip your powerful weapon to not waste ammo on, but one of the largest predators known on this planet, and the way it's introduced is you solve a puzzle, and it immediately bursts through the window and eats someone. There is no windup to it, it's solve puzzle, receive T-Rex face. First time I saw it my controller went flying as I literally jumped in fear, then had to try and grab the controller on the ground while the T-Rex was trying to eat me, which he succeeded in doing right as I grabbed the controller. And the scariest game for me is Aliens vs. Predator, and not for resource starvation or because the enemies look scary. Oh no, not because they look scary at all. It's scary because your primary enemy, the kainde amedha (xenomorph, alien), is nature's perfect killing machine that even in its death can be a lethal weapon (and the amount of time you'll screw yourself over or kill yourself simply by killing one is quite high when learning what to do and what not to do in the game). Their speed, is enough to give Dashie a run for her money. They can climb on any surface in the game (which works nicely with their speed, in their favour). They are quite durable as well, able to lose their tail, both legs, and an arm and keep coming after you, or both arms and their tail and keep coming after you. Their colour blends in well to the surroundings, making them difficult to detect at times. They are also almost entirely unscripted in their spawns, so there's no "clear room, rest, find supplies, go to next room, repeat" part to the game. It's more "clear room, turn around, more kainde amedha coming after you" thing. They do not stop spawning, and if you enter a room they can't go in (as they can't open doors usually), they will take an airvent and flank you. The game is scary not because of lack of supplies and what not, it's scary because while you have plenty of ammunition and often enough health/armour pickups, you will die because they will kill you. A lot. It requires you to be good to survive, and to be able to move fast and shoot faster. And this is just talking about the normal drones, we ain't even talking about the Predaliens or Praetorians, who are both much more dangerous. Also, facehuggers are instant death, and very hard to see/shoot.

Hehe, I made the mistake of starting Cave Story on hard mode. I am currently stuck on Monster X because anything he hits me with is a one shot, and there's always one of those projectiles I don't notice. -

gaming What is the most enjoyable game you've ever played?
Vy'drach replied to Rain Dance's topic in Media Discussion
Saint's Row 2, especially co-op with a friend. We spent like two hours on the airfield trying to get airplanes with awesome paint jobs, laughing the entire time. Plus I always forget to take off cruise control, so I'd stop the car with the brake, get out, and watch it go driving away with a similar reaction to this: -

When did you start using the internet? Started seriously using it at about 10 or so. Would you have rather started using the internet at another age? Nah, had some good times. Are you addicted? If by "addicted" you mean "On the internet all day." Anything you wish you could have unseen? Are you for censorship? Not in the forced sense, I just wish everyone had the decency to go, "Hmm, this might bother some people, let me use this convenient button that hides it from general view but people who want to see it easily can anyway." Any funny internet stories? After a day of playing Battlefield 3 (I have 1236 wins and 241 losses currently in that game, btw, which is kind of relevant to the story), and seeing about seven people with "kush" or "420" or a combination of the two in their name, I check my messages and see a message from a player by the name of KUSH118 that says, and I quote, "u need to quit killing me thinking u own bf3 but u don't pussy' I sent a message back basically saying I have absolutely no idea who he is due to the amount of people that day I saw with a generic pot name. I have saved that message because it cracks me up every time.
