    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    C'thun was also relatively unkillable for a good, long while, simply because of dumb shit like tentacles spawning in the stomach. BWL was bugged for, well, weeks at least. We raided BWL for awhile with a gate that wouldn't unlock after Vael - the drakes were untauntable at launch, Broodlord...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    The bottom line is really that they don't need/want to do it; it's not cost effective and would be a fairly large undertaking for little to no gain. Even the EQ progression servers were newer code that added in the old features, not just a rollback to old servers. (And project 1999 states...

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    I could see that side of it. It's harder to be unbiased though, since I knew what it was referencing and really dug it. It was just a shame that people brought it out as this big sexist thing, when it fact, it was just a throw back to an older comic. (Albeit one that perhaps the fanbase of...

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    That's the thing though; heroes are still heroes even when something torments them. The Killing Joke was pretty brutal - I think it still works if you show how fucked up it made her, and the fact that she'll obviously win in the end.

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    It's not about caring about sex or sexuality; it's about doing what was most likely to cause Gordon to lose his fucking mind and become just like him. To that extent, I'd think the Joker was quite capable of going very far. Rape isn't about sex; it's about power and the complete ownership of...

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    I don't have the original sadly; I was about 5 when it released. It is however, my favorite, and has been for many years. I buy a new copy every time they re-release it. (If you have the original though, some copies have Barbara's breasts exposed and others do not; the one that was toned down...

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    There's definitely implied sexual assault; it's one of the things people kept questioning over the years. There were rumors Moore had confirmed no sexual assault, but no one can seem to find where he said it. Rated R is where it should have been. The best part about these announcements has...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Well, exactly. It's why you don't see anything lower than 5, and why I tend to view anything around the 6.5 area as being bad. It's just really crazy, all around, that someone can say, this gets a 6.5. Then you read/listen to the review in it's entirety and they don't really have anything...

    Right, so I think I'm just skewed on ratings. Or super stingy on them.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I guess I just don't see a lot of movies or games etc that get below a 5 in scoring in general; like it has to be an incomplete movie or a bvs version of twilight to get that low. Always seems like 5 is the real bottom of the scale. Possible that I'm more looking at this from a gaming point...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I do not get the people who are giving this movie a 6.5/10 and then saying it wasn't a bad movie. Like, I don't rate shit like that unless I disliked it. I don't have to hate it, but 6.5 means it's never getting rewatched. It feels like a weird phenomenon where people are giving it 3/5...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Yea, it had a good opening weekend, largely due to presales. As of the end of the weekend, it's earnings had dropped substantially and it's audience reviews have gone from 84% to 72%. It's still going to make money, but that's some extreme nose driving. We all knew we were going to have...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    This movie is so fucking weird. It's tanking in money right now, and people keep waving around the RT audience score like it's not that bad. I actually read a bunch of those reviews, and the people giving it three stars are just so negative. Like, it's super ridiculous. Did they not score...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Oh, I didn't mean to imply Punisher is not sympathetic, because I think he is. But for me, a punisher-esque Batman would not be. It's not that a killing superhero isn't sympathetic; it's that this one would be extremely hard to reconcile. It might be just a case of familiarity and how we know...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Obviously, this movie is going to make money, but I bet it drops off steeply after this weekend. If they didn't presell the tickets, I imagine people who didn't see it at the midnight might have heard reviews and been more wary. Fortunately, the presale guaranteed a good amount of people in...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Batman doesn't need to be "grimdark". By definition, Batman is one of the darker mainstream superheroes to begin with; he's a mortal vigilante whose primary foes are dealing with crippling mental disorders and super powers brought on by horrific accidents. They've done Batman killing and...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Tank classes are really only boring if you're just interested in yourself. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, but I have two prot paladins, and most of what I do is babysit the group. 2/4 pc HFC means I am probably winning heal meters. Prot pallies being the only tank class where one of...

    Your guilty pleasure movies

    Haha, the first time I watched Show Girls I was about four rum and cokes in and was settling down for the night. Thought it was a masterpiece. And now I need to watch Surf Ninjas. I forgot that movie even existed. The old TMNT movies. I just watched them the other day and lol'd at the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Mythics are really just more damage everywhere. There are a few fights that have like, one new ability, but I couldn't tell you which ones: I'd notice it vaguely as a healer or tank and that was only because I was like, Oh what the hell is doing all that damage to me? I don't think I've seen...

    Re: Timewalking - As most others have said, it's a lot of muscle memory, but timewalking sets don't hurt. Any legendaries are generally instantly awesome, as are anything with sockets. Since it's older shit, you can enchant just about everything. I was farming up h25 dragon soul for...

    No, you're wrong, and we already posted links to show this is false. They've been pushing this since the first person was against the movie. I'm against the movie because I don't want a ghostbusters remake. But they've come out in force to say that if you dislike it, you must be sexist...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Yep, they've already done that. You can just google ghostbusters girl power and that's all you get. Similar to them casting Jones; the character she plays, even if it aligns with her type of comedy, (which it does) is so fucking stereotypical token black character. But, they're covered there...

    I don't know if it's going to bomb, but I really don't think they'll make a "nice profit". I'm expecting Fantastic Four like box showing. Edit: More so, I expect it to do terribly *if* the trailer ends up being accurate for what the movie is. At this point, I think there's enough...

    The fan cut trailer ALMOST makes me want to see it in theaters. But then you realize the trailer cut all the dialogue and comedic bits and you gotta realize the movie is gonna be 90% that and your enthusiasm goes to hell.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    A lot of people are missing the point. The gender swap isn't the issue. Well, it's not for most. The original ghostbusters worked well for a shit ton of reasons; the writing, the actors, the fact that the roles and movie were written FOR those actors. (Admitted rewrites and character...

    The Feig stuff is not new, but maybe new to this board. He's said for months he really only does origin stories, and that it was a hard reboot. This was further confirmed by the interview with Moranis, where he says he didn't see the point in coming back to the series 20 years later as a...

    Holy was pretty good; I didn't do Ret though, mainly because the weapon and quest line just seemed so...obvious I guess? My favorite one might be Warlock; it's just super cool what you get to do. Made me wish I'd paid more attention to my alt and gotten the green fire feat. Demonology plays...

    That's one of the only "token" lines he has though. Even without all the extra stuff behind him, he still comes across as extremely reasonable and down to earth. That's not at all how the Jones is playing her character. I mean, yea, they're obviously both the token character, but I still...

    I like how fucking everyone glosses over the fact that while not a huge amount of Hudson's original character concept came through, he was still regarded as being super smart and capable. It's even mentioned in the video game about him studying for his doctorate; that's still the "canon"...

    It's not a sequel. The 30 years thing is marketing cashing in on your nostalgia. Feig has said a billion times it's a hard reboot and that he only does origin stories. IT'S NOT A SEQUEL. I AM SORRY FOR ALL YOUR DASHED HOPES. THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE SHIT. Edit: Also, FYI, some of the...

    Making a Murderer (Netflix) - New info

    Unsure if anyone saw this, but here's an article from the New Yorker. Dead Certainty I think it's really kind of crazy how people kind of get into this whole, "I don't want to say someone is guilty or not, but let me tell you why MAM was wrong." The writer does tend to point the...
