Nitpicking WoW to death
If you've ever played World of Warcraft, there may have been times when the game experience was less than ideal. Yeah, we know it's hard to imagine, but stick with us here for a minute. In a recent post over at Twenty-Sided, Shamus shares his top frustrations with the game, and how much they bother him. Sure, blog posts that nitpick WoW's gameplay are a dime a dozen, but this one comes from someone who recently got into the game, and might have more of a fresh perspective than an old veteran.These eleven points are all very viable, even though a few overlap and apply to many other games than just WoW. However, check out this example from his first point: "Like, you want 3 bear claws? Then I should have to kill one bear, because a standard-issue bear has four of them. There is nothing like having a wild bear rend your flesh in battle, only to loot the body and find the animal has... not a single claw? Just like the last 5 you killed."
Apple Hot News seemingly the last to learn of Time Capsule shipments
Earlier today Scott posted that the long-awaited Time Capsules are indeed now starting to ship. However someone ought to go let the folks at Apple's Hot News team know, as this entry in the Apple Hot News feed is somewhat perplexing."Time Capsule, the wireless hard drive you can use to back up multiple Mac computers using Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard, has begun shipping. "Notifications of the shipments began reaching customers that pre-ordered the device early this morning," according to Jim Dalrymple (macworld.com)."I'm sure that Apple wants to vaunt the arrival of the delayed Time Capsule (I'm very tempted myself, now that they're arriving). However here at TUAW (and we're not alone) we fail to see how leaving this announcement 'according to [much respected Macworld writer] Jim Dalrymple' is in any way beneficial to Apple: if Time Capsule is shipping, why isn't Apple willing to yell it from the rooftop themselves?
