Every time Rorie talks about WoW and mentions how annoyed he is at the real world references it blows my mind because Vanilla WoW is COMPLETELY FILLED with real world pop culture references.
Oh wow, that Jai-Alai commercial takes me back. I moved to Florida in the mid-80s and defintiely remember Jai-Alai being advertised on TV. Not sure if I saw that specific commercial since I lived in south Florida and Ocala was 3 hours away, but who knows. The song sounded familiar!
I grew up in Tampa and I 100% remember seeing/hearing that exact ad.
Found this video where it's identical except they say "Tampa Jai Alai" at the end:
Brad you really don't have to keep playing the game on the hardest setting once you've demonstrated that it's really hard and frustrating on the hardest setting.
I have never touched world of warcraft but understood everything happening in the trailer since it only really references Warcraft III. I do not understand their, or at least Brad's confusion.
It's because they're primed to have that reaction to WoW because of the assumptions they make about it. It probably could have been a little shorter, but Blizzard purposefully made that video, and then chose that one out of the ones they had made for this event, because it primarily calls back to events of Warcraft III (and an ending one could assume would come in Wrath of the Lich King even if you hadn't played it).
It should theoretically serve as a good re-entry point for people who have long lapsed from WoW (or never played it but played WC3). "Hey, remember these characters you're familiar with? Here they are again in the afterlife. Don't worry about all that other crap from the last 15 years, you don't need to know it. We'll even let you skip it completely and get to the new stuff!"
@brad FYI, USB-C is a connector specification which is separate from the 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 etc specification. Notice that USB-A has persisted this entire time despite those other changes.
@maitom If those screenshots are intended to sell me on RTX, they're not working. It just doesn't look $1000 better to me. Maybe it looks better in motion.
Looking forward to the corrections section next week for Stadia because hoo boy does it seem like they did not understand it at all.
I guess I should congratulate Google's marketing team for successfully tricking people into thinking they needed to pay $10/mo just to play instead of the $10/mo being an up-sell for 4k/5.1/HDR, and it not requiring a sub for 1080p/stereo.
I feel like I'm the only person who hates the GBA SP form factor. Yes, the screen was amazing compared to the original, but the small square size cramped the hell out of my hands. The original GBA felt perfect in my hands. I also was one of the people who installed my own Afterburner backlight in my original GBA, which solved the main of the problem with it.
