*FLAIL*
So I'm a bit of an Aion fanboy. This is not news. But even taking that admitted bias into account, this is still the most inspiring game trailer I have ever seen. Even above the one for Guild Wars 2. |

The death of Taunting
For those that a) care and b) don't already know (does such a subgroup even exist?) a great many MMOs involve a 'taunt' action which forces enemies to prioritize you as a target over others. The standard use for this is to ensure that the big beefy guy who can take lots of damage (but not deal much out) becomes the focus of the enemy attacks, while the little guy who can dish out loads of damage (but can't take much) is left alone. It doesn't make a lot of sense conceptually, but because it works it's become a staple. So how could MMOs handle combat without a Taunt mechanic? The following discussion on RPG.net is really worth reading if you care about such issues. |

Waters of Mars
I was not disappointed. And considering it was partly by RTD, that's actually bloody fantastic. |

proselytization fail
News from the Twitterverse: Some Christians decided to retweet the phrase 'No God, no peace. Know God, know peace.' This happened so much that Twitter picked up on it as a trending topic. However, Twitter trending topics are limited in length, so it grabbed the first two words. This is why the number one trending topic on Twitter is currently 'No God'. |

OH DUDE
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ashbet, who is currently staying with us (yay!) was playing Aion and got assaulted by a huge bug. Her protesting yell of 'oh dude!' was overheard by Bean, who assumed it was a RUDE SWEAR and began saying it over and over again with impish glee. Hence the following dinner table conversation, in which Sabrina is very rude, tells us what her name is, and correctly identifies the kind of meat in her curry. ( Sideways movie follows. ) |

stop it.
When did we Brits start up with this obnoxious practice of naming X and putting the word 'much' after it, thus formulating a snide accusation that the person to whom we are talking is guilty of doing X? Fuck-awful vernacular much? |
