I'm ashamed to admit my WoW account got hacked due to what I'm sure was a phish. My work-friend called me and asked if I was still playing the game after i quite. I logged in and changed my password. The hacker used my same password,so I was able to grab my account back.

Ultimately, I made out with about 15K gold and all my items the hacker sold back in my inventory. Blizzard did well by me. I also gained a few levels. Free.

I now use an RSA-style token and use two-factor authentication for all my login activities. Fortunately, I don't have to two-factor auth every time I connect, but I can't do anything major without the token.

I highly recommend the second factor for all gamers.

I'm mainly playing Hearthstone right now, but I'll re-up for WoW when the new expansion comes out. (If for no other reason than to get flying in whatever new zones they make)

I can't tell if they intentionally spelled it wrong or just thought the "z" sound in Böse was supposed to be a Z.

ill steal someone elses post for this
Here's this week's little comedic jabs:

The main one is this scene when Ako screams something along the lines of :

Andaa gittan disukaa!?

Ako is actually trying to say, "Are you betraying me !?" in this scene. This is actually a 12-year-old meme, specifically from a tokusatsu (superhero) live action series called Kamen Rider Blade in 2004. The actual meme phrase is:

Onduru ruragittan disukaa!?

It's a fan-made language called "Ondul Language" or "Ondulish," which stems from bad enunciation by the actor of the protagonist -- Kazuma Kenzaki -- when he was getting beat up by the antagonist in episode 1, with his ally watching and not helping. He questions if his ally has really turned his back on him.

"Hontou ni uragittan desuka!?"
(Have you really betrayed us!?)

...was the actual phrase, but the actor's poor pronunciation produced this meme.

Here is the (in)famous scene, with the phrase being at the very, very end. The franchise has embraced the meme, using it as subtle jokes in later series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgoIAdJN80A

In fact, that video has another famously meme'd line:

Naze miterun desu!!
(Why are you watching!!)

If someone frequents Japanese boards or comments, they'll see this phrase often when a character is just watching when something is happening, using the characters: ナズェミデルンディス!!

Other than that, they're all just pretty subtle comedic parodies.

Here is the pork reading a book who's title is: "Buront Words You Want To Say Out Loud."

Buront-ism is another internet "language" that was popularized by a poster on 2ch called Buront (simple enough). He had very unusual phrases with a brash attitude, and that made him, as well as his way with words, quite popular.

When you see phrases like:

"Kita! Tate kita!" "Main tate kita!" "Korede katsuru!"
(He's here! The tank/shield is here! The main tank/shield is here! We're going to win now!)

and

Kitanai sasuga ninja kitanai.
(Dirty. As expected from a ninja. Dirty.)

...you can be sure that the origin came from this Buront, who was a fan of FF11 and Guilty Gear.


there was a bleach reference too

The fact that this game exists is both expected, yet boggles my mind. Particularly because Kirino from Oreimo is a playable character as well as one of the girls from RyoKyuBu

He meant either the guild that agreed to help because it was fun or the Neko Princess Guard. Either of them could kinda quality as "Goons" for different reasons. I'm leaning towards the former.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
Nah goonswarm is only western games. Even goontang clan is only for english releases of asian games. The closest you'll find on a japan server is your occasional gaudy looking character speaking only in emojis and "i am gay".

There are exceptions like Phantasy Star Online 2 but it's usually the norm. Would still be fun if they utilized the swarm tactics of jamming their meat grinder with our bones.
