arallel context corruption showing posts with label corruption show all posts showing posts with label corruption show all posts tuesday june 18 2013 the old fashioned way of doing things the tao that can be told is not the eternal tao the name that can be named is not the eternal name the unnameable is the eternally real naming is the origin of all particular things free from desire you realize the mystery caught in desire you see only the manifestations yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source this source is called darkness darkness within darkness the gateway to all understanding lao tzu tao te ching there is no emotion there is peace there is no ignorance there is knowledge there is no passion there is serenity there is no chaos there is harmony there is no death there is the force the jedi code in what feels like a lifetime ago i wrote about how corruption was a major theme in blizzard s work a couple of expacs since that time blizzard hasn t really changed their tune very much in fact you could argue that blizzard is simply coming up with new ways to use corruption okay twilight s hammer was a gimme you re tempted by power and who looks like the winning side and you join with deathwing even the sha are pretty blatant you open your heart to those non zen buddhist emotions such as fear anger and hate just a tiny bit and the sha sneak right on in and corrupt you in a very real sense the sha are the ultimate excuse for bad behavior i was possessed by the sha they made me do it somebody release the sha that s inside me but the war between factions garrosh well blizz has gone on record for saying that garrosh is simply a bad egg oh he may eventually become corrupted by the power within pandaria cough 5 4 cough but he was evil and or power hungry to begin with o really has everybody forgotten the kid in nagrand who was so afraid that he d turn out like his father that he let the ogres and evil aligned broken walk all over his tribe the kid who only began to grow a spine when thrall showed him how his father redeemed himself even though that questline has pretty much dried up due to conflicts thrall not being warchief these days that s pretty telling that garrosh wasn t exactly a bad egg he became a bad egg due to his experiences he saw when he first arrived in orgrimmar that bluster worked that aggression worked in northrend he took a strong offensive stance and freed the dragonmaw from their legion tainted leaders learning that putting pedal to the metal worked he surrounded himself with yes men and marginalized those who would provide better counsel saurfang cairne baine vol jin rexxar eitrigg and lor themar in short he became corrupted with power just like any number of despots if he d had different experiences if he d have learned something by the way he was duped into killing cairne or if he d have learned something about power and responsibility after stonetalon garrosh would have turned out differently but he didn t seduced by the dark side he was good thing that the tao espouses a lack of passion because some lawyer somewhere would have a field day on this you can hear yoda saying this can t you the dark side are they that said the one thing that tor has that blizzard doesn t have is romance in the questlines the world s biggest generator of fear anger and hate is romance relationships and blizz simply refuses to examine that outside of say the books i didn t throw sylvanas into the mix because i m not convinced she d give good counsel and she s also too far gone with her version of total war if liadrin were not consumed with rebuilding quel danas and managing the blood knights i d have put her in the list as well posted by redbeard at 4 01 pm 2 comments
