Clay-Liston Fixed?

In the really old days there never even used to be summoning stones. I'd love to hear more over a few goblets of mead.

Good post, nobler, I agree with much of what you say. There are some throwaway zones in Vanilla, and while none of the zones in Cata were that great, Jade Forest is an absolute stunner. I can't really say the other MoP zones are particularly mind blowing though. But to your larger point, yeah, you're right, players can choose to play however they like. I love the idea of traveling to a summoning stone and doing it old school. Problem is, just about nobody else would find it fun! Most people will take the easiest possible option. And I understand that. I suppose for me it probably boils down to not being able to recapture that feeling when I first started the game. No matter if it's a new expansion, cool content, new challenges, nothing will compare to being a low level noob learning the game one mistake at a time with a fun group of people. Waxing nostalgic over here...

Even if Ferguson came back tomorrow, they have no chance to beat the likes of Bayern, Barca, Madrid, etc. Pipe dream.

Every decent player we have now must surely have a relegation clause, meaning we'd be left with a skeleton of an already lowly group of players. Being a big name club, we'd probably have our pick of all the players from clubs relegated to Division 1. Which wouldn't be saying much. I fear we would become the next Sheffield Wednesday.

Moyes says he thinks they can win this year's Champions League

What really bothers me about WoW now is how they make even easy things easier. Like putting flightpaths at every bend in the road. Why is there a flightpath in Goldshire, FFS. Also, old group quests are mostly all solable now. And newer quests will too often have some npc helping you either get to where you need to be and/or help you fight, etc. So much of the charm of the game is in the atmosphere of the terrain. The music, the little details that roped us all in. So much of that is gone. Exploration is shot to hell because leveling is so easy. You can level a toon without seeing half the world. Summoning stones were FUN. Meeting up and probably fighting opposite faction while waiting for everyone was great. Now you just sit in a city and auto-queue. Sad. And the destruction of random world pvp. Why did they destroy SS/Tarren Mill? It was the best. Now its all BOA gear with xp boosts, blasting through auto-queue dungeons without hardly stepping on ground. I'd like to think someday they tweak things to fit a more retro feel. Plenty of nostalgia types who would love it, I'm sure.

Sao Paulo fans beat a Santos fan to death yesterday, continuing the feel good vibe there in the run up to the tournament.

True Dick fans might be thinking about this thread

No chance he sends any armed forces in there after his quick capitulation last week.

Ah, sad news. I liked Harold Ramis. Played a great straight man to Murray in the Ghostbusters flicks and Stripes.

Interesting that the poll is so close. I think he'd be the top forward in the whole league.

Who said that, Julius Caesar?

Today is Flag Day in Mexico.

Seems like Villa have been victims of this phenomenon to a degree way beyond any other club over the last 15 years or so. Sickening.

It'd be nice, but the realist in me cannot see it, tbh. We are a team without teeth, without belief, without mettle, without enough TALENT. And we are a joke at home.

Holt with an own goal in stoppage time Villa 0 - Norwich 1

Episode 6 in a few hours, woot!

Coming apart at the seams, despite Maduro's iron grip on the army. Ultimately the people will determine the outcome, however. When the poor and working class decide that the occasional handout isn't worth watching the whole country collapse around them, they'll join in with the middle class and then the generals will have to act. Maduro will be ousted/arrested, Lopez freed, elections held and Lopez will win. Hopefully he's not just a Washington stooge.

Christ, what a horrible day for Villa

Great, Norwich are beating Spurs, what the hell

A last second winner scored by the opposition you say? Shocker. Relegation mire, here we come

I don't think his employer can either. I'd bet on him getting the sack very soon.
