And yes, I understand they're playing to expectations; people naturally want to see how characters changed in response to the altered events of the past. For me, however, the required suspension of disbelief is so massive ends up ruining any natural expectations I might have had about that. It's basically a saturday morning cartoon plot, but presented with a straight face.
EDIT: And the way Sarkhan not only expected those same people to be there, a thousand years later, but also expected them to recognize him, going so far as to enthusiastically hold a goblin that was in fact attacking him... it's too much, man. Can't take that stuff seriously. That's a comedy scene right there.
I'm not a fan of straight-faced time travel in general, mainly because in the end I haven't ever seen anyone make it truly believable. But this goes beyond even my worst expectations for this block.
Blah. I hate to be a naysayer, but man, this was BAD.
The deserts of the Abzan seem more white, but they could be construed as black too, I think. As for the Temur, I think their tundras are certainly blue (or at least blue-white). It's an interesting tidbit anyway, and I'm pretty sure it's intentional.
With WotC trying to branch out the brand, a free-roaming RPG just has to be in the cards (if you'll pardon my unintended pun).
Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions that might replace those bots on my friend list. Thanks in advance.
And yeah, there's the third-place match too. I hope we don't embarass ourselves yet again, even if we lose. It shouldn't be hard, either: just enter the pitch wanting to play a damn match instead of running around like a bunch of overexcited chickens.
I'm obviously quite sad, but I guess this only serves to further prove that it will be hard for another World Cup to surpass this one in terms of purely incredible moments.
(EDIT: My bad, it seems Schweinsteiger isn't suspended. I'm pretty sure the announcer said something like that earlier today. Oh well, that's just gonna make it more exciting, I guess.)
On another note, I'm really bummed that Brazil had to face two South Americans in a row. I'm pretty sure both Chile and Colombia had good chances of reaching further into the tournament.
But first we'll get France-Germany! Cheering for France, mainly because their supporters were freaking awesome against Switzerland, but what I really want is an intense match, preferrably with a penalty shootout at the end.
PS: I think Germany-Algeria might be the best 0-0 draw I've seen in ages. DAT goalkeeper!
