So Blizzard dropped this cinematic a couple of weeks ago and i've watched it so many times. It's beautiful. You don't even need to know the story or the characters to feel the emotions. I think this might be my return to retail WoW because it just seems like they're trying to tell stories again rather than just 'look at this cool shit'. I'm pretty done with classic to be honest because playing the same game from back in 2009 just doesn't feel like a good use of my finite gaming time. Give this a watch and let me know what you think World of Warcraft The War Within

So I am sat here this morning looking at a computer screen and if I'm being honest I can't really be arsed 😄 So I thought I would ask what people do for work and what are your day to day tasks like? For me I design relatively simple mechanical building services for residential complexes, literally right now I am producing a schematic for the water supply around the building, working out sizes of pipes and the routes they will be taking, little snippet below - Generally my work day can be quite varied, some days design team meetings, others doing drawings like the above, others it's meeting suppliers or sub-contractors and coming up at the end of this month is the first 3d project we are doing internally (which as the others in the design team have no experience of Revit I will likely be leading). So yeah what do you get up to in your work day?

The EOMM (aka SBMM) is beyond any developer now - it's definitely written and implemented by a specialist uncredited third party team off the back of Activision's concept patents and I'd say its even past Demonware's pay grades as they are more services-based. It's definitely gaming's closest guarded secret right now and although developers know roughly how it functions as a concept (i.e drive engagement and milk the community via willing payees) they probably don't know the precise true functionality or wont speculate because deep down they know just like FIFA, there is artificial manipulations in play that would severely damage the game. They'd be better off just coming clean because it wont make a blind bit of difference. FIFA had corrupt scripting for years that exists within EAFC and it didn't impact the playerbase and the amount of reverse-boosters and cronus cheaters plaguing COD, it hardly matters. The best thing that can happen is Microsoft weed out all the horrible psychological and manipulative crap from these games and just keep it simple like Counter Strike.

If you're looking for a good, turn-based style retro RPG, get Sea of Stars. Or this I suppose. Lol. I picked it up yesterday and have gotten a bit into it. It plays out pretty much the same as the original. You can even change the music to the classic style rather than the remake soundtrack. It looks and plays exactly as I remember it. I've heard that it's not very long, but I'll update myself when I've finished.

3 actual completely new maps coming in Season 1: Meat, Greece and Rio.

My work day is a work night well it has been pretty much constantly since 95... just passed 37 years service as a CNC machinist in a heavy engineering company mostly producing pump equipment for the oil and gas industry. No we didn't do piper alpha😉. We have however done some world record stuff at times, I'm pretty proud of the stuff I've produced but im now looking forward to getting out for good hopefully at the right time with a nice wedge of redundancy. I'm also not just an operator but programmer and setter too. I've posted some pics on my ppr before but this will give some idea.

I lead a team that designs 5G and datacenter chips. It spans over 6 countries and 13 time zones So I get to have meetings at all kind of ridiculous hours but I get a lot of spaces in between which allows me to game if I want to. Customers are companies like Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, Microsoft, Ciena, ZTE, Rakuten, Facebook, Google. Most of the chips can be customized to the customers specific needs. The typically handle 1.6 Terabyte per second of data using serial links that individually handle 106.26 Gigabyte per second of bandwidth. Most of the interfaces are Ethernet, PCIE or wireless 5G I typically design review the designs or help the less experience people with the designs problems they might encounter. It's all done in Verilog/VHDL or Deep sub-micron Custom transceiver design
