OK. Looks like I'll be playing with a girl again.

Looks pretty terrible. Nothing can beat the first MK movie. MK belongs to the 90s and the 90s only.

Barrels of Fun

I vote the maze before reaching Sarevok's lair in BG1 as the worst tunnels of all time. But I always like the maze in Spellhold. Some fighting, some cool riddles, some drama. I also like the tunnel fighting in the Witcher, since they're pitch black and even with a Cat potion one can't see more than two metres ahead... makes for some great atmosphere combined with ghosts, graveirs & vampires.

That was a fun movie. Haven't thought about that one for years.

But not as awesome as the queen. Belgariad is much better overall. At least in that one the protagonist & his friends are all oafs, except for the women. It's like the Wheel of Time, but much less verbose and not taking itself so seriously.

The problem is that everybody nowadays compares fantasy flicks with Lord of the Rings. Boll's flick is not worse than anything that came out in the 80s. It's a bit like Krull. Pure awesome.

Nice to see tvtropes is still making **** up as they go.

The Kingdom of Ehb was a pretty lame setting (but nothing worse than Dragon Age), I don't even remember finding more than 5 lore books. The second game took place in the rest of the continent & added a ton of history and lore. Still, DS did the 'ancient evil returns' shtick way better than Dragon Age... and has a much better Archdemon as well.

Postal & Far Cry are way better. DS movie has some cool fight scenes and Claire Forlani, but those are about the only redeeming qualities. Still, the movie's complete lack of focus & plot is remarkable close to the actual DS game. The DS game seemed to make up the plot at the spot as one trounched baddies... "oh yeah, you just killed a dragon, now go further east for more answers"... "so after killing the evil Seck Necromancer, the heroes decided to go to the Temple of Doom to investigate", etc.

If it were Dark Alliance III or Champions of Norrath III, it would be a pretty much guaranteed smash hit.

I'm actually interested in it. It might be the same experience as with Fallout 3 for me.

This has got to be Glacern. Heh, even Ron Perlman was in that movie.

Same here.

So, does it or does it not look Deus Ex enough?

Dungeon Siege II's combat is pretty much the same as Dragon Age, it just doesn't suffer from the acute lack of enemy variety and the inability to have more than ten enemies on the screen at the same time. Moreover the boss fights are a hell of a lot more memorable. The expansion was meh, but at least it wrapped everything up nicely. Dungeon Siege had screensaver combat, but some brilliantly designed dungeons & an amazing variety in breath-taking scenery. The beginning of the game was also classic, starting as a farmer who literally throws away his/her shovel and starts kicking butt with a butter-knife. And speaking of the Farmer: **** yeah.

I would've been excited about this four years ago.

I remember Leland spouting "The only thing more lucrative than a war, is a cold war". Or something.

The Heavy Inciniterator is pretty much a Flamer Minigun. Hopefully, the Alien Blaster: My favourite tool to swiftly off the ubiquitous Giant Radscorpion.

Some people spend too much time on 4gifs.

Captain America, Thor... Avengers movies?! WTF? Of all the cool Marvel superheroes, they pick the lamest ones possible? Captain Britain & Excalibur are the real deal:

Don't make me link to Leliana's song, bro.
