Look, maybe it's you. If you see a paladin in the video and you don't know what to do because you're a warrior, it's not the game. It's not the class. It's not the encounter. It's you.
And no, tanking's not hard. You survive, you did a good job. You die, it was either your gear or your healers. Tanking involves very little skill nowadays. You've got a handful of cooldowns you use every couple minutes, and that's about it. DPS has to manage more at once, and healing is where the challenge really is.
"I don't know how to raid" is sort of meaningless on its own. What part is it you don't know, exactly?
I'm mostly hoping each level is challenging. Original Shattered Halls in BC was pretty rough. Doable, but rough. In Wrath, there are plenty of dungeons I simply never ran on normal, because my gear from BC was good enough to head straight into heroics.
Once upon a time, you could play a Blizzard game over a LAN.
Once upon a time, you could install a "spawn" copy to play against a friend, allowing the two of you to play multiplayer off one install disc and CD key.
Once upon a time, you didn't need the internet to play single player.
... and it annoyed me to no end that I couldn't just get something like my old phone, a Nokia 6150. All the phones now either flip or slide, and are chock full of "features" which are really thinly-veiled attempts to get you to cough up more money for a data plan.
I just wanted a regular phone with a 12-key number pad that could send text messages with predictive text input. Nope. Not offered anymore. Hell, I can't even send an email to someone without using a data plan and some email "service". (On the Nokia I could simply set an email address as the recipient of a text message.) And one of the features about it I really liked—the ability to set "profiles", multiple preference sets for ring volume and the like—isn't on the one I have now. But dammit, I can take pictures and... not do a whole lot with them.
And even the 6150 doesn't have something my original cell phone did that I gave up in 2004... I miss Snake.:(
You know, I know this is in the context of a business, but if you're going to name your political party the Sex Party, do you even stop and think about it? Are they allowed to run ads during prime time? Are you going to have 8-year-old asking, "Daddy, what does sex mean?" I'm not sure I'd vote for a party that put me through that kind of hassle.
Honestly? I don't really care if they have the legal standing or not. I hope they get a ton of money from the Glider guy, or company, or whatever, simply because he enabled large scale botting and thereby harassed a large percentage of the playerbase.
The comments in that article were fun, especially the bit about 123456789 and adding nothing, +, or * operands between numbers to equal 2001. Good thing I thought you could subtract, or I would've gone nuts wondering why mine didn't work before seeing he really meant 2002.
Did you miss what Blizzard said a year or so ago about how no one needs to be able to play on a LAN because they can make the experience better on battle.net?
When you're at the magnetic north pole, you're not at the geographic north pole, and it's possible to move magnetic north in any geographical direction.
I don't know if you sat through the whole seven of them, but he mentions the lightsaber duels. Yes, the lightsaber duels in #1 are very choreographed, but they're not any good. If you want choreography, go see the ballet. Or a flag routine, if you want choreography with sticks.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with pretty much everything this guy says. : \

Icons? What icons? This looks like Craigslist with the amount of text and whitespace on it.
The buttons do look ripped from Facebook or something, though.
Looks like shit.
But hey, looking like Facebook in all lowercase will make you popular, right?
Amen Break, anyone?

A 5k gear score is doable with 5-man dungeons. I mean, even before this last patch.
You can "know the fights" by looking them up on wowpedia.org or youtube. Or tankspot. Or bosskillers. Or a half dozen other sites.
ICC pugs on my server routinely clear at least half of icecrown. I've known pugs attempt heroic bosses, and some even kill (normal) lich king.

Pfft, as though it's uncommon for an 8 year old to ask that kind of question...or to hear the word sex used for that matter.
It isn't? It should be.
Maybe that's part of what's created the rise of prostitots? No one trying to keep sex away from children?
So, if I understand you right, you're saying the conversation goes like this:
"I don't really want to be talking to my 8-year-old about sex."
"Well, too bad. You should, and we're calling ourselves the Sex Party."
"Wow, you totally changed my mind!"
Um, yeah... not so much. This logic is a lot like atheists calling religious people stupid and expecting that to convert them to atheism.

I'm pretty sure it's worth $40 to be able to post as Cockass McShitfuck.
the company making [Glider] did not facilitate the user in violating the license
How do you propose one bots without a bot program?
Then don't do the parts you don't like.

I know another game you might like.
They could. It's just flash video on their backend anyway.
Heck, those sites work even better if you block the right host. You get to skip the ads but can still see the episodes. :)
Do you even have a Mac? Flash blows on it. Adobe just doesn't give a damn, and it's about time someone gave them the finger.
But will I be able to switch from a Daily Show episode to a Colbert Report episode without reliably crashing every single time?

Great, more of this "social networking" garbage? Can't a game just be a game anymore?

A little thought before the snark, please.
Or they had enough lighting on their black people and it wasn't a problem.
