I agree. He should have just had a passing encounter with Gandalf to introduce the existence of the necromancer. The additional scenes with him were completely unnecessary and really dragged the movie out a lot.

At this point LOTRO's combat has become similar to EQ2 in that it's clear that it has some major deficiencies, but for whatever reason it will/can never be fully fixed. No one should play LOTRO for the combat, anyway. The biggest reason to get into LOTRO is to explore Middle Earth. The world...

The only movie moment that has ever made me tear up was at the end of "Life is Beautiful" when the kid sees the tank and runs towards his mom yelling "We won! We won!"

LOTRO has, in my opinion, one of the better F2P systems. You can create any race and all but 2 classes and you pretty much have free reign of everything up to the level 20ish zones. The beauty is that as you complete quests and work your way through the game you earn tokens that you can use to...

True. It's far better than it used to be, but compared to the fluidity of WoW it is VERY jarring and hard to get used to. I think the most fun I had during my 2 - 3 solid years in LOTRO was: 1) exploration. Its so cool to see all the places you've read about in the books 2) farming in the...

Yes to both.

I still log on occasionally to check things out, but it works out to probably less than an hour a week. I love the atmosphere of the game and think Turbine did an amazing job realizing Middle Earth, but the gameplay is just so bland.

I liked it, although it did drag a bit. I think some stuff could have been cut down a bit, such as the whole warg/rabbit chase scene before Rivendell. That scene went on way longer than it should have. The thing I liked the most is that the dwarfs were NOT bumbling idiots like in the book...

I think it's supposed to look like the cooling tower of a nuclear power plant. At least, that's the impression I got from it. According to the blueprint that is where the long-term energy storage is located.

Any season where LaGuerta (with a Spanish accent) dies is automatically NOT the worst season.

Fixed this for you.

Speaking of weight watchers,www.skinnytaste.comhas TONS of amazing recipes for all sorts of relatively healthy foods. Each one provides point values for those on weight watchers, and for everyone else full nutritional information is provided. I've made over a dozen of the recipes on the site and...

I don't really have much to add, but I hope you continue to update us on your business as you progress. I was following your old FoH thread and I look forward to seeing how things turn out.

This is incredibly true and it's why you find so many more fat people in the suburbs. Without actively changing my diet or making an effort to exercise I lost about 30 pounds over 4 months when I moved from the suburbs to the center of a city (i.e no car, walking everywhere). It's cliche, but...

An ex-girlfriend (not surprisingly, the crazy Russian chick for those from the old TGWBYH thread) considered looking at porn or even talking to another female as cheating. So yeah, the rules vary wildly from person to person. For me, any guy who persues a woman who he knows is in a...

I've tried that, and it does help a little I guess. My friend practically attacked me when he saw me watering down a glass of his $450 Glenfiddich 25 year.

I've become convinced that, unlike beer, scotch isn't something I'll ever be able to get accustomed to (at least in terms of sipping it neat. I can drink everything when it's mixed). I've been trying to force myself to enjoy it for years and have had some truly high quality stuff, but it all...

Is there a specific reason you're drinking the Slimfast shakes? 360 calories worth of real food would probably fill you up more than a couple cans of liquid.

I'll second this suggestion. Spaten Optimator Doppelbock has an excellent balance of price, availability, and taste.

I'm surprised at how quickly they're progressing through the prohibition era. The show started at the beginning and after 3 seasons they're already in 1924, aren't they? Given the large amount of time between each season, that means season 4 will probably start sometime in 1925 or even 1926...

The only thing I'd say to the OP and anyone else with similar aspirations is to keep your expectations realistic. Saying "I'm going to learn to program to start an indie game company" is like saying you're going to learn Russian to read War and Peace, or you're going to learn piano to play...

To go with Luxer's post,here'sa really interesting article about a language that (supposedly) doesn't have recursion, which pretty much flies in the face of a lot of Chomsky's claims. It's far from conclusive of course, but it does raise some interesting questions and shows just how little we...

This thread depresses me and makes me realize how under paid i am.

I felt like I was reading a math problem.

Even if the movie overall is mediocre, at least we can be comforted by the fact that it will be visually amazing. That's one thing Guillermo del Toro never fails at.

Duck Hunt. Touching the gun to the TV like a boss!

I have, and it is glorious! I'd love to see that sort of thing done in a big budget, live action film. Literally just lift the story and scenes from some of their amazing animated films and do it all as a real movie. They'd be massive hits.

I've always liked Superman for the same reason I like the Hulk: he can kick major ass when he wants to. I guess that's why I've never really liked all the angst and backstory stuff they try to do with him. I just want to see a god-like being beat the crap out of another, evil god-like being.

This story was already fucked up enough, but the fat folds thing really pushed it over the top.

To be fair, according to the RL Picture Thread in Screenshots, there are a lot of people on this site that aren't basement dwelling mongoloids. With a couple exceptions I doubt anyone who posted a picture in that thread would have a terribly hard time of getting at least an average chick. Of...

I know there has been lots of discussion (in the old version of the thread, may she rest in peace) about Plenty of Fish. Has anyone used eHarmony fairly recently? From what I understand it has that weird structured communication aspect to it so there's no need to blanket every female on the site...

Few scenes are more epic than the final fight in Rocky 4. At around 3:05 is where Rocky gets his first huge hit and cuts Drago and it just keeps on amping up in intensity from there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8nC-RnETd0

I've never cheated and the very idea of it disgusts me. I'm an extremely trusting and trustworthy person, and I expect (rather foolishly in my experience) to have that reciprocated. I've never understood relationships which stay together after cheating. For me that is an instant relationship...

With youtube and the Internet hard boss fights have become a lot rarer. Back in the old days you had to figure it all out yourself, but now you can hop on youtube and see exactly how someone else does it. It might not help your reflexes, but it makes puzzle/pattern parts of the fights way...

The aircraft carrier in NES Top Gun.

Write a tell-all book about this whole fiasco and make bank $$$, Curt. That's something I'll preorder!

Jenson Ackles is 95% of why this show is still so good. The day he calls it quits is the day the show dies. Sam is an awful actor and without Bobby there aren't many great characters left. I'm honestly surprised that Jensen Ackles has stuck around as long as he has. I bet he's getting paid...

I love the fact that she uses poison to kill. Since she started dating Dexter I've been excited to see anyone on the show eat anything.

I'm probably one of the few people who only own 1 game on that THQ humble bundle. Other than Titan Quest, all the games are new to me. Such an amazing steal for so much high quality gaming.

Ah yes, I vaguely remember seeing this game in Walmart at some point and reading some reviews when it was released. See people? THAT is a bad game. Hard games, frustrating games...those are not bad. Ninja Turtles, Mickey Mousecapades, Mario is Missing, Bart vs. The Space Mutants were all fun...
