    Warcraft - the movie (2016)

    in Way Off-Topic

    Posted · Edited by Thingolfin

    Edit: Surprised they didn't announce some kind of RTS remake at BlizzCon. The movie would be a perfect way to reboot the series and carry on with the lore without having to deal with the clusterhump WoW turned it into.

     

    It seems like Starcraft, Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 is getting some much needed modernization at least: http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/posting.html?id=15000XZ

    2012 Anthill Farms Pinot Noir, Demuth Vineyard (Anderson Valley).

     

    Anthill Farms continues to impress me. Wish I bought more of it when I had the chance (not too easy to get a hold of in Norway). Definitely my favorite American wine producer. Terrible wax-seal solution around the cork though, got lots in the wine that I had to filter out.

    Star Wars Episode 7 Thread

    Wild theory time:

     

    * The villain of this film is Luke's first student and nephew, and the reason why Luke dissappeared into exile.

    * The dark haired girl who seems to be the main character, is the (twin?) sister of Adam Driver's character (red lightsaber guy), and they are the children of Han Solo and Leia. Note how their weapons line up perfectly in the poster.

    * Luke will return from exile at some point, after his nephew goes out of control.

     

    Luke will never turn to the dark side, that would be too cheap after the ending of episode 6.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition vs The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    TW3 is the best RPG in years. It's also much better than Witcher 1 & 2, neither of which I managed to play all the way through. I think with the second one I held out for an hour or so. Much of the criticism towards TW3 in this thread is definitely more relevant for the first two games, and it's sort of sad that many won't experience TW3 because they didn't like the previous games in the series.

    Movies you've seen recently

    Age of Ultron - So many millions gone to waste. Better than the transformer sequels, but still kinda in the same vein. Too many characters, too little character development. 5/10

     

    Mad Max - Best action film in years. Fantastic visuals, simple and solid script, good acting - all over a very good film. 8,5/10

     

    It Follows - Loved the creepy retro-atmosphere, I was fully immersed and enjoying the film up until a certain scene I won't spoil. It's an interesting film, but not as good as many reviewers would have you believe. 6/10

     

    Jurrasic World - Decent cinema experience. Didn't like how they used the classic Jurrasic Park theme songs in moments that didn't really evoke any feelings (kind of random complaint, I know). I wish there were more "dinosaur moments", like the one with the triceratop in JP. Also, many of the characters could've used some changes (the bad guy, the rich guy and the brothers comes to mind in particular), but all in all it was better than the trailers suggested. 6/10

     

    Ex Machina - Oscar Isaac is fast becoming one of my favorite actors, and Alicia Wikander is always great (loved her in A Royal Affair). Could definitely see it getting some oscar nominations. 8/10

     

    Also, not a film, but watched a miniseries named Wolf Hall recently. Strongly recommended.

    Anders Breivik sues Norway for breaking Human Rights

    in Way Off-Topic

    Oh this is golden :D Norway, how not to laugh from you and your laws... once a land of dreaded vikings now a land of bending p.... sissies....

     

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/11406616/Mass-murderer-Breivik-to-sue-Norway-over-prison-conditions.html

     

    What laws are you refering to?  And your complaint doesn't make much sense. All I see is Breivik whining about being in isolation (which is for his own good, the other prisoners would kill him), and the prison giving zero ****s. If we actually gave him what he wanted I'd agree with you.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2015]

    Do you guys play it with mouse/keyboard or a gamepad? I switched to a 360 for Windows gamepad, and I'm surprised to say it actually feels a lot better now. As for the game..it's fantastic. Like you guys say, the sidequests are so well done. Almost considering buying a new graphics card just to play it on ultra.

    STEAM!

    Too bad you can only return it within 2 weeks because with the exception of only a few games most of my Steam catalog is under 2 hours played and nearly a quarter I've never even installed

    I got money back for GTA V and Red Alert 3. Bought GTA in April, and RA3 in march. So the 2 weeks thing is definitely not set in stone. :)
