I completely forgot that druids used to only have a combat ressurection spell, remembered today whilst looking up the name of Revive and can't believe I forgot. Must add it to my list of things which the youth of today have never had to struggle with.

I don't think it's suitable for a full paragraph of text or anything, but as a menu and/or a single line of text it's great.
It's basic, clean and simple which is why it works so well.

What's wrong with it according to Kali is, I think, pretty much that it's Arial and it's a very common font.
It is probably over used and used as a cheap solution a lot of the time, cheap solutions also tend to be terrible so I'm willing to bet that 9/10 times Arial is used in a logo or something it looks awful.
What Kali fails to see is that the reason behind why it's used is different between that and what I'm doing and she's only seeing Arial=BAD and offering other solutions just to not use Arial.

And while it is true that if something is commonly associated with cheap and crappy it doesn't matter anymore if it's used well because people still have that connection, I highly doubt that many people have that with fonts.

The thing is, I don't think Arial is per se particularly intrusive or whatever, it's just that even people who like it tend to go with, say, Calibri, because it doesn't have the connotations.

And many people probably wouldn't notice what font you use. Many would probably think it'd be cute if you used Comic Sans. Some will notice and it might impact their decision.

I have this recurring fantasy that involves me making a website using Blackadder ITC.

They may care about both, it varies. I just brought it up as a considering point, not specifically a reason to change it.

In other news, the digital download version of Cataclysm costs more than the retail version.

Seems silly that I have to pay more for a digital copy. It costs them less to make.

The few bucks extra that you pay for the digital download you save from not having to travel to the shop.
Also, extra playing time!







But mostly laziness.

Have you ever heard of Amazon?

Canadian too.

Why must so much caster gear have Stam, Int, Crit, Mastery? It's like someone stole the plot from a bad movie and did a remake. There's not much suspense and you know the ending is going to be trash.

Oh and welcome back Arex.

Is it just me, or does your Wild Growth spell also seem to heal for less the more levels above 80 you gain?

Mine currently crits for 200, which can't be right. That's in healer outfit with 3k spell power.

Guys, do you know a decent IDE for C++ writing? Don't say Eclipse. It took me two hours yesterday to even get that piece of annoyingness to start up and now it won't compile even though I tried every fix I could find. So, a different one.

I successfully wrote some code that took my laptop considerable amounts of time to get through and decided to switch languages because I really don't want to take ages sitting there waiting for my computer to sort itself out.
