I am seriously reconsidering giving this game a second chance after seeing
this.
Watch it full for all its glory.
ITS SO PRETTY! Kawai................
Nice graphic overhaul, but I don't think graphics are the correct motivation to go play an mmorpg... if the overhaul comes with some interesting mechanics, it could be worth a try.
This.
You can put makeup on a pig, but it's still be a pig.
I know, I know, I gave Aion a try several years ago and concluded that while a very pretty game (With what I consider THE BEST character creator ever made. Period) it wasn't a FUN game to play.
This upcoming update intends to make it even prettier, but unless it also comes with some substance, its not really anything good.
Also, lack of general knowledge of geography is universal. How many here can mention at least 3 states of venezuela other than Caracas without googling it up? how many can mention 4 states from Argentina other than Buenos Aires? how many know the different regions of Brazil other than Sao Paulo? Or how many know the different areas of England other than London? How many know the different states of Egypt other than Cairo?
Geography is a vast VAST subject that requires well over 7 years in college to master and even trained cartographers can't possibly list you the names of every state of every country of every continent in the world.
Thus, to point at a specific group of people and make fun of them for their general lack of knowledge in geography is very hypocritical, given that YOUR own knowledge of geography seems to be along the same general lines.

Regarding the Geography thing... I'm glad asakawa made that point. I saw it and just went, "pfft" and moved on. But, it was irritating. The "giant" places are pretty easy to find on a map for most anyone in the world. USA (as a whole) is pretty common knowledge, so is Russia, Canada. China, Australia, Greenland... etc. I think most can find those areas pretty well. Then you start to get into say, South America, Europe, Africa, the rest of Asia... the specific states in the US, and so fourth, it becomes more difficult for those who haven't studied geography or are familiar with the regions.
I think that sort of ignorance is true for everyone throughout the world.

Could you point to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch on a map?

Fun fact: after nearly 7 months in Wales those spellings and places still frighten the crap out of me.

Hehe, yeah, it's a real shock when you cross the border and start seeing crazy road signs all of a sudden isn't it.

so true.
(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Rank could I ask that you reupload that yourself to a more reputable image share site? Some of that site's content isn't appropriate for WH.

If Hell has a septic system, I should think it would be more hospitable to spend your time in the depths of the septic tanks there than at Reddit.com.

Education is a scary thing

I love Reddit. Experts in every field and whole groups of people who have the same random hobby as you. Every programming language under the sun, bitcoin, symphonic metal, classical music, comic books, anarcho-capitalism, video game sales, foreign languages, soccer. and so on and so on! Every interest I have I can find a community for, and I've become more knowledgeable, more well-rounded, and met a lot of interesting people because of it.

Education should be repressed.
Also, I highly dislike Reddit. I've run into the biggest pricks I've ever met on that site.

Even the /Christian reddit is just a bunch of Catholic jerks isolating everyone who isn't, what did they call it, "orthadox". No thanks.

The beauty of reddit is that subreddits are a dime a dozen. If you don't like /r/christian, check out /r/christianity or /r/conservativechristian or /r/truechristian. If you're looking for some specific topics, try /r/academicbiblical or /r/christianapologetics. And those are only the tip of the iceberg.

Okay!
I just saw you asking about sending a biblical analysis series to someone the other day; I figured that sort of thing interested you.

I didn't knew that site had content inapropriate for Wowhead.
anyhows,
HERE
is the image again. This time in IMGUR, which I hope is on the acceptable site list.
Gotta say, that Injustice comic damned good.
And for those curious, no it was not from Reddit, It was from a russian site called "fastpic" or something along those lines.

Extremely fast-paced and has some of the best character interactions I've from DC in the last year... and that's saying something.
