Right. Because they can't avoid it.

She's had so many gods inside of her that no one would touch her if they could avoid it, though.

The problem you may run into, is that if the Devs think 'it looks stupid' it won't matter if you think that argument is invalid. The Devs aren't objective when it comes to aesthetic choices, and they get to make the decisions whether we like them or not.

I didn't read the comments, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were spawned by the painball to the knee. Then again, I've seen people talking about that meme showing up in the comments of completely unrelated music videos, so it may have just been a random meme ball lobbed into the comments that spread like a disease.

I was sad when PBS stopped showing them over here (which was coincidentally about the time I stopped watching PBS). I barely got to see any of Sly McCoy's Doctor. And Netflix doesn't stream enough of the old stuff.

Carpe trollum?

Too bad they probably wouldn't consider getting away from the handwave altogether. The attacks of Titan Weapons stir up dust already, it'd be cool to have a fling-dust-in-their-face animation.

But "when appropriate" potentially applies to any given morsel of information. That being the case, just assume that everything is a spoiler and it saves the trouble of having to designate specific things that may or may not be spoilers while avoiding the surprise of something that was seemingly inconsequential going undesignated.

No, it wouldn't, it would merely be an NPC location. A dry bit of info that doesn't spoil any plots. The lore itself might be an interesting historical factoid about the Tsoo that also didn't spoil anything. Kind of like knowing about Korriban, or that the original Sith cross bred with humans doesn't spoil A New Hope.

If I know something, presumably it's widely available knowledge. Tip-toeing around every tidbit of information to avoid accidentally enlightening the potentially ignorant is a senseless exercise.

And some people don't like the word "bollocks" and get upset by it.

Some people think information like 'there are Tsoo in Steel Canyon' are spoilers.

To keep from upsetting any of them we'd have to cease communication altogether. But then someone would be upset by the silence.

Quite alright. I'd offer to buy you a pint, but it's Sunday and I live in a dry state. Also, the last time I tried to send one of those through my computer it nearly voided the warranty.

I didn't say you shouldn't have posted it. I totally appove.

Agreed. There's no telling when someone is going to be shocked and appalled by some tidbit of information that is revealed. Oft times I see such reactions to things I find inconsequential even if I'm particularly interested in the story or characters involved. In order to please them all we'd have to preface everything said with spoiler tags, and if we were going to do that we might as well just assume that everything IS prefaced with spoiler tags and get on with things.

Far stealthier than a crackling electrical light show, anyway.

The existing ones do leave a lot to be desired.

There are a number of potential words, but they're not necessarily pleasing to the eye or ear. "Immutable", for one. Not to mention "indestructible", "invincible", or "immovable" themselves. When speaking of the properties, one can make these nouns. If one is looking for a specific object (such as juggernaut), chances are the properties will be metaphorical or mythical and the word for the object would be a proper noun or a word with non-English origins anyway. In which case we have things like the aforementioned Adamant and Aegis. Or ziggurat, for that matter, which I might call the 'immovable object' counterpart to the 'unstoppable force' of a juggernaut.

So Hawaiians put you in the mind of Celts?

Honestly, I don't mind him too much for a younger version of Conan, but I personally prefer a bulkier, gruffer Conan with more chiseled features. I was most excited for the movie back when they were talking about it as a King Conan era movie.

I've been there for quite some time. I hate that the LFG system isn't as useful for passive teaming as it should be due to the incessant standing-around-forming-teams nonsense. For awhile DFB was convenient for passive teaming, but now even that seems to be plagued by people standing around forming teams to the point where I was queued up this evening on Virtue (while street sweeping) for an hour or so with no joy. And the two times an event tried to start up, the fourth person didn't join and the event failed. Lock that guy out of the queue for an hour.

Hrm, that ended up being more of a rant than I intended.

No other armor set covers you in Crystal or Lava. Granite cannot be changed to be Crystal or Lava. Aesthetics is a very valid reason to both choose Stone Armor and choose not to use Granite.
