The Queue: I don't want to set the world on fire
Anyone who says "This is the Fallout 3 song" is going to have a -3 hit to their perception.
Your speech might get knocked down a few points, too.
Robbymack asked:
Is it possible that Blizz could release a WoW expansion WITHOUT a new class or races being added? I know it's been a selling point up to now, but I think it's getting to the point that it's getting unwieldy. Seriously,, I'm gonna need more character slots on my primary server if I want to roll even more alts. Do you think that having an epic leveling questline, new dungeons and raids, and maybe upgrades to profs or other features would be enough? Or do they need to add a new race or class to make an expansion feel like an expansion?
I think it's entirely possible Blizzard won't release a new class or new playable race. It'd have to make up for that by adding some serious new advancement features, though -- and this is something that would need to hit at the core of WoW. Can Blizzard do that? Is it possible to pull that off? Possibly ... and if anyone could do it, it'd be Blizzard.
That being said, we'll find out in a few days.
JTrain asked:
I play WoW on my desktop as well as occasionally on my laptop. I know that you can simply copy/paste the entire WoW folder from one computer to another, but certain settings never seem to transfer. For example many of my add-ons are at their default settings and I have to spend a couple hours resizing and moving windows around.
Where are those "other" settings stored, and how do I make sure they get move over?
You'll want to be sure that you're copying over the WTF folder onto your laptop. The WTF folder is stored at the top level (aka root) of your WoW directory. All the addon settings and everything are there. My guess is that you're not copying that folder across. Sometimes it can be a pain, especially if you've got a couple of dozen addons with a few thousand files. I just went through this on a new laptop I got, and it wasn't pretty (at least, until I upgraded to an 802.11n network; then it went damn fast).
Nonentity commented:
I'm also kinda happy we didn't get the huge amounts of leaks we got before the Cataclysm announcement. Pretty much everything about Cataclysm (and then some ... false stuff) had been leaked, that took a lot out of Metzen's announcement.
Now, 4 days before Blizzcon, still having no clue what it's gonna be (yeah, yeah, Mists of Pandaria, I'll believe it when I see it) and what it's gonna entail... I'm psyched.
Me, too. I'm pleased that the amount of leaking hasn't occurred this go around. Assuming everyone can keep their virtual pants on, the BlizzCon announcement should be spectacular.
AudryR asked:
The current cap for guilds is 1,000, right? A friend asked and I've forgotten.
Correct. You can invite up to 1,000 people to your guild, no more. If you're already over 1,000 people (before Cataclysm launched), then you can't invite any more until after your guild is under the 1,000-person limit.
I'd be surprised if there were any serious guilds that were near this number.
And serious does not equal a casual leveling or event guild in which 99% of its members don't log on.
Antibrain asked:
Will Stood in the Fire become a Feat of Strength after Deathwing is dead and Pandas are very much alive?
While there hasn't been official word, Blizzard has hinted that yes, it will move into the Feat of Strength category after Deathwing is dead. Whether that means dead in the lore sense and the beginning of the next expansion's content patch, or dead in the "someone on my server killed him" sense, no one knows. This would be a good question to get answered by a friendly Blizzard person you might run into at BlizzCon or somewhere else in Anaheim ...

Anyone else excited about the new Avengers trailer?
I'm a little disappointed that Ed Norton will not be in it though :(
Jamie Oct 18th 2011 11:06AM
I love Robert Downey Jr, to the extent my wife believes I have a man crush on him. And he is completely totally awesome as Ironman. But even I had to feel for Captain America (Chris Evan) when he was the fall guy to the "what are you without the suit..?" line.
Y'know because Robert Downey Jr. is a total frickin' rock star from Mars and all.
MattKrotzer Oct 18th 2011 11:09AM
I was too, and I was definitely less than enthusiastic when I first heard Mark Ruffalo's name, but having seen him in the trailer now... I'm on board.
Noah Oct 18th 2011 11:10AM
Hell yeah. That was a great trailer, I hate that they're replacing Ed Norton, but I love that Downey is in it, that'll make my year.
Task Oct 18th 2011 11:11AM
I am a little bit but I think it's for the best. On the positive side, Mark Ruffalo kind of looks like Bruce Banner, just need to see him with the glasses on though.
Sarahjane Oct 18th 2011 11:12AM
Joss Whedon. Enough said.
Natsumi Oct 18th 2011 11:18AM
I must not be a comic book geek, who were the Avengers again? Were they Marvel or DC? Could they kick Batman's ass, and if so, how?
500 words or less, Due Tuesday, October the 25th, this will be 1/3 your grade.

YESSSSSSSSSSS. Admittedly, I am not capable of being logical on this topic, as my friends wryly reminded me a few days ago as I was mid-shriek. But come on! Coulson the BAMF! Natasha kicking asses! RDJ being Iron Snark! Plus I am completely smitten with Chris Evans, he is the prince of my heart and the best Cap ever. I'm sorry, I have to go watch the NYCC panel again.
(Bonus Nerd Round: Tamed Skoll the other day. After some time being stumped, had an eureka! moment. He is now Coulson.)

Natsumi:
The Avengers are Marvel's answer to the Justice League. Assuming proper planning time was allocated, Batman would take the whole group down by himself.
Peebers Oct 18th 2011 11:35AM
im def more of a marvel kind of guy but if you gave him 5 years im pretty sure bats could take out the entire marvel universe.

@tyler
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robin/Nightwing (potentially). How awesome is that? Eh? EH?! :D
I know this is supposed to be the last Batman movie, but that just tells me they intend to start a new movie series with a new movie star... *cough*

Heck, if you give 5 years to Batman, he would BUY Marvel and the Avengers.
Jamie Oct 18th 2011 12:05PM
I can't see The Dark Knight Rises being anywhere near as good as The Dark Knight. Still it should be a fairly decent romp though.
conundrum Oct 18th 2011 12:23PM
Batman being able to take out the Avengers is as ridiculous as saying he could kill some huge cosmic villain like Darkseid.
Caelys Oct 18th 2011 12:26PM
Funny you mention this because I had a dream the other night that Mark Twain was being kicked out of the Avengers and he wouldn't give his super secret Avengers ring back. As for why he was being kicked out - I have no idea. But clearly the movie needs to be edited to accommodate this.

@Matt: The Hulk alone would curb-stomp Batman out of existence, throw in Thor and c'mon man...

@conundrum: I see what you did there.
ech Oct 18th 2011 12:56PM
Gotta admit that when I heard Joss Wheadon was doing an Avengers movie my first thoughts were "Why? They just did that ant it failed?" then "Who plays Mrs. Peel?".
Yes, I'm old & I read D.C. as a kid........
