I have very vivid and potent memories of listening to Aleks blab about Thanar while farming leeches in Blight Town for titanite. WoW episodes feel so nostalgic.
Reminds me of my mom buying me the collectors edition of The Old Republic MMO and then when learning what a subscription is telling me I will never play it
You know, I saw a video awhile back on classic MMO's and to be honest I could see MMO's making a comeback if more MMO's were like them. There was a guy (he was probably jimmy actually now that I think about it) who showed off some classic MMO's, and one of them had devs that would roleplay as certain characters in the world, one of them was delivering patch notes to players giving them as the king of the land, well in most instances he was invincible but this one time the dev didn't toggle it so a player threw a fireball at him just for fun and accidentally killed him mid-speech. The dev didn't come back and ban the player like jagex would've, the dev didn't just ignore it, he made it actual lore of the game that the king was assassinated by a highly skilled assassin and they shaped the story around that event that happened purely because of a silly mistake, and that's something only an MMO can provide that would completely revive the genre I feel. Imagine if RS2 took the falador massacre and didn't ban a player for it, but instead patched the bug and then introduced a quest to find out who did the falador massacre, with the quest involving the player recreating the events of it in a simulation only to have it end on a plaque that read the names of the slain victims and memorialized what was lost, that would have shaped falador as we knew it and would've actually been something only an MMO could've done. I know they did a falador massacre reenactment later on in RS3 but that was too late.
In the MMO world, Tad is Karl Pilkington living in his own lane and Aleks is Ricky Gervais if he understood that interfering in that with the happiest, freest man on Earth would condemn his soul for short-term profit.
Much like all toobers, peak comedy of 890 BC is forbidden. The used to not be Fart Knock, now it is Get ready chat, cause *_we're going off the deepend_* (uo wow)
MMOs to me are like this genre which never really found its stride in terms of quality. Ive never really seen one that really maximizes everything to be a masterpiece its usually either "well this one has a good social scene" or "this one is less grindy and more brisk" or "we hang out here because we like the theme of it or the franchise and its fun to talk with my friends in this environment". i dont think any of them have so much mastered all their elements vs bandaided them together to give you a somewhat acceptable social gaming experience.
i had somthing similar happen to me with the kingdom of loathing, I had just entered the global chat after doing that long puzzle you have to do to actually unlock it, and a guy who had been playing sense like 2009 asks if I'm new, I say yeah and he give me a million meat, which is apparently a fucking giga load even in late game anyways I stoped playing like 2-3 days later lol
My only mmo experience I played the ps3 version of DC universe online as Gary Oak and eould gamk random people and type in all chat "smell you later loser" one thing that is funny is years later one of my friends from nowadays I told this story to and they said "THAT WAS YOU" Because the console version of dcuo only had 2 servers
I kind of tuned in and out while working, but one of the other things I'm _hoping_ you didn't really cover is the Sunk Cost Fallacy. When you start putting money into a game, you will become invested in the game whether you like the game it not because you _invested_ in the game. I've been playing Warframe since two weeks before Ash Prime Access ended, and I would have left before the Second Dream if I didn't get those Plat discounts. I am terrified of actually looking at how much money I've given that game.
@@LetMeTellYouAbout Tsh, more like DIGITAL shipping deez nuts. Mm, got 'em! ...Honestly, though, I don't frequent the auction house enough to the point that I NEED a whale mount, either.
The official Ragnarok Online is still around, for better or worse. I hope that what's going on is just that Triple A is finally starting to implode. Yeah, chase infinite growth, that'll totally work out. I will say, MMOs might be able to get cheaper to make if AI goes keeps on keeping on. Of course, that'd have its own share of pissfits so like, whatever. Kind of a no-win scenario, those MMOs, maybe someone needs to make one that people can profit off of without it needing to be the most player-hostile thing ever, requiring actual creativity, or NFTs. Just have sanctioned RMT where the company skims off the top of each transaction, it's really not that hard, the only reason it didn't work in Diablo III is because it was Diablo III instead of something new that didn't have the baggage of being called Diablo III.
Real episodes are finally back on the menu
Fucked up funfact
I can still talk about this for another 3 hours!
It's impossible to comprehend just how much I have to say about wow

Another banger episode to listen to while pushing carts and almost getting hit by an old persons car
"They cannot recreate what made them popular. Because what made them popular was that it was a fucking video game" is a great quote
You know that clip of the reviewer guy from ratatouille having that flashback. That was me seeing this episode come up on my notifications.
Be listening to this while playing my hacked 3ds whilst sipping on my monster. Hell yeah!
we're so back (I'm at work and therefore can't indulge in the enthralling experience of a new lmtya atm)
Fudgebob is calling
Episode drops while vibing in Turtle WoW. It is Destiny

I know this has nothing to do with the episode but Fudge Bob Piss Pants sounds like one of those wacky packages from the mid 2000’s

$90 US for the Brutosaur mount?? IT'S $132 CDN UP IN CANADA/AMERICA JR.!
Regardless, I always go 'whale detected' when I see one.
Gotta account for shipping costs 😉
