Musopticon?

Dudes, just listen to the metal, don't argue about it. MCT - When the Solstice Reaches the Apogee Yes, it's doom. Inca doom. Probably the most epic sh1t I've ever heard. Next I'm going to try to get into Johnny Cash, wish me luck.

I don't get depressed during winters, thanks to it being beautiful and all. It's too damn hot on summers, now that is depressing.

Dibs on the chainsaw!

Except ice hockey. And snappy comebacks.

The thread is about Warcraft in perticular not all of Blizzards games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Let me rephrase: WC 3 was originally supposed to be a proper rps, you would ahve controlled a group of dozen units at max and they would have gained levels and had equipment along with you. There were several sneak peeks on various game sites back then and you can probably remember the early dragon pictures or the dwarven concept art(which much later was used for the rifleman). In that early concept you couldn't even build anything(apart from maybe the occasional barricade), but the game was much more action-oriented and reminded me of Myth(Bungie's fantasy strategy). Why did Blizzard choose to diss these plans and make Reign of Chaos? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why do you keep pestering me with these questions, ask me something about the Warcraft lore not the way W 3 was created! If you want to know ask Blizz. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your starting post explicitly said that you know everything about Warcraft. And that we could ask anything about Warcraft. You sir, are a liar. And the asnwer to my question is easy, it's even quite logical: Money. They didn't want to aliante the base of fans to whom Warcraft was microing and ogre mage rushes. Ah, another vision crushed by the biz. I hope Hellgate is magnificent and Warcraft 4 boring as plaster.

Oh, right. You got me. I'd imagine it won't be that different from the console originals. Just hope that you have a proper gamepad, since fight'em-ups are always pure keyboard acrobatics without one.

Fun is you.

I found like 16 reviews for it by using the search on Gamerankings.

If you know your Blizzard history, you can answer why they took the route they did.

I was going to quote that and add a strategic 'i', but decided not to. ^_^

Less butter, more virgin oil.

Why wasn't the first concept of WC 3 realised, but instead they just made a Warcraft mod for Starcraft and added some trite roleplaying?

Yes, let's think about it. Together.

I'll quote a message that's funny because it's true: Ah, the myth is still alive. However it is not true. Our place on the list when it comes to suicide rate is #29 for men and #23 on women, around the same as USA and yet we are lower then countries like Japan, Russia. It was Dwight Eisenhower that started the myth during his presidental campaign. Our welfare system had become so successful back in those days and it posed a threat to the american system. So Eisenhower said that was Sweden was the land "sin, nudity, drunkenness and suicide" because of the welfare system and that's how it started. However just one look at the statistics shows that this myth was never actually true.

That is why Scandinavia is the home of the tr00, grim, necromettuhl!!!11

I can name about 50-100 things I'd rather do than try to build a mental lexicon of Warcraft lore. I mean, stuff that's not so geeky that it offends us regular geeks. Which I why I'm not gonna answer you. I'm not gonna insult you either, since I was pretty gay for Warcraft back in the day too. It's just that I didn't go around and flaunt my supposed supremacy of geekness.

I do, well I lay back and still sit on the edge of the seat. That doesn't have anything to do with excitement though. And I correct my position every 15 minutes. Not really a movie-goer.

And I was pretty hyped for Adventures, which is why I asked whether Billy_boy here was "in the know" about this awesomeness.

*worships Mills*

1. We expect some reading comprehension and at least a semblance of observational skills from our members. That's why there isn't a sticky that reads: "Read the stickified threads" 2. Because there is no certainty of K3 so far, the high-ups have decided to keep the boards tidy of any posts about it. Partly this is in preparation of the coming onslaught of "wut?!11 Obsida not makeing kotor 3!!1"-posts(because they are so not going to develop it), but mostly because we whined so much of K3-posts spreading over all the forum sections that they took apporpriate action. Yes, we can be petty. 3. That's Dark_Raven for you. Most mods here are fairly friendly. They also hate posts like the one you just made. "Take it to PM and I'll answer if I feel like it." is the way of constructive moderator-member relations here. All in all though, it's fairly nice here. Welcome aboard.

What's Warcraft Adventures? Tell me the history of Medivh. What was Jaina's father best known for? Oh, and you totally forgot Satyrs, sea witches and harpies.

I just keep thinking how much worse the series would be without Ian McShane. Seriously, last time I saw Mcshane in anything, it was Lovejoy. I had no idea he is such a great actor.

I seriously thought Portugal would be higher. And us lower. Didn't they take suicide counts into the equation? Ours are rather high, way higher than all other Scandinavians.
