Just because it’s a sequel doesn’t mean it’s derivative. All 5 movies are directed by the same guy. I can’t speak for the first 3, but if you saw the 2015 movie and couldn’t tell that it was a passion project, then I don’t know what to tell you. We don’t call Sherlock Holmes soulless even though Doyle wrote over 50 short stories starring Holmes.

I haven’t tried Warmane myself, but I definitely sympathize with wanting to just jump in every now and again. Compared to the mega servers of current wow, private servers can seem small, but I find they their player base is usually more active / engaged

If you wish to enter Hades, you know the price that must be paid.

Bacon, fresh.

Well? What’s the name of his book??

Honestly, I’d be down for that. I love dogs

He was Paul Allen in American Psycho, though I don’t know how successful that was at release.
