99% he got the questions before the interview the answers are good regardless but some of the questions are dumb.

Warcraft left me in the state that I guess a lot of people were in with SW7. While I've played the games in the past, I never spent much time in the Eastern Kingdoms while playing WoW, so I don't have a great mental image of the land and the movie did a poor job of explaining that to the watcher. The scenes with their little UN meetings where everybody but "the humans" says fuck it have no weight to them. The closest thing to interaction we have is the one scene of Lothar getting his pistol. It's just as vague to me as "Why is the a New Republic and a Resistance?", "Why is the NR not at Couruscant?", "Why is the NR not fighting the First Order?" was to other people.
It's a decent movie, as far as being a movie since I know lorenerds are pissed, but it could have filled itself out a bit better.
What lorenerds are pissed? I was a huge massive lorenerdwfor the entirety of my WoW career and I thought it was fine for what it was.
I suppose then again I didn't have high expectations (and frankly I think it would be silly for anyone to have gone in thinking they could do 20-ish years of lore justice for a general moviegoing population)

not the ones in China since its one of the most successful movies ever over there. I thought the problem was that nobody who wasn't already a fan was liking it. But I haven't been following it super closely

Implying you go the warcraft movie for anything but pretty cgi and nostalgia.

Everybody that I know that cares about the lore hates it.

idk some of those answers seemed really disconnected from the questions but mostly because the questions seemed really dumb so fair enough it's well handled by Duncan Jones though imo reframing dumb questions is basically the cookie cutter build of being interviewed right?
I haven't seen the warcraft film but about SW7 it almost feels like it's supposed to be confusing by design. It's the attempt at the largest fucking mystery box matrioshka of a story ever made
Ref calls have been suspect this entire playoffs to be fair, very inconsistent all around. I'd rather not have a blow out game 7 or a shit fest of stoppage
I feel like basketball is probably one of the easier sports to rig. Every time I watch March Madness I walk away thinking at the very least massive point shaving is going on, and several cases of games being swayed massively by refs. Can't say the NBA is much better.

The nice thing about playing ranked is that you actually have something to play for. In unranked I dont care at all about win or lose, you end up with 50% anyway no matter if you try hard or not. Like my brother is a way better player than me but what does it matter, we both still win the same amount of games. So to me playing unranked feels like being in a hamster wheel. Nothing you do matters, you always end up at the same place as far as you can tell (since you cant see your mmr).
Well that gets more into the focus on MMR vs the focus on personal improvement.
I've bounced around 55% win rate more or less, and none of it really matter because it's unranked. But I've been setting personal goals that I aim for to try and focus on mechanical improvements.
Aiming for:
100 damage absorbed per projected shield on Zarya
55% hook accuracy on Roadhog is what I consider decent, 60% is my current benchmark for "good"
35%+ direct rocket accuracy with Pharah (obviously skewed by shooting shields, but shut up red)
As I get more consistent with things like these, I increase my goal benchmarks. IDGAF about my MMR right now, but all these little improvements will be beneficial in the long run.
Holyflare somehow has like 90% hook accuracy every game, with 20+ hooks fired.
I don't understand...
Just gotta get good. Hooking hitbox is pretty damn huge and it's relatively instant range cast to be honest. I mainly just use patience and use their predictability or when they can't make a maneuver say if they're mid jump or running in a straight line. I do like the risky hooks though.
Majority of my misses are fucking zarya shields... So annoying.
I think I'm on like 65% average? But that's just from pissing about, could easily be 80+ a game if i stopped going for yolo tracer pulls.
