    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Luke and Rey share similarities based on simply being The Hero, or main protagonist. Obviously the character is going to have a lot of qualities and few flaws, but I wouldn't go as far as to say Rey is a complete Mary Sue. Yes she is very knowledgeable about mechanics and ships, and she can...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Sure, the shields are taken down a little bit too easily. Just like Obi-Wan deactivating the Death Star tractor beam did not seem strange to any control room in the station, or even the fact that the beam can be turned off by deactivating only one of seven points. This is the same universe where...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Technically not true. We see Rey having visions of being dropped on Jakku at a very young age, and we are told that her parents would come back for her. But this is a vision, we are not watching a flashback. It could be part of her mind wipe / brainwashing, so she would wait for imaginary...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Nothing will stop you from being concerned or hyped, so I suggest you see the movie and make your own opinion. That said, I understand your concern based on similar comments after TPM came out, but I'd like to develop the argument a bit further. When TPM came out, I was 17 and after I saw...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Having seen the movie, I must say I actually do not feel at all that this movie was nothing but a nostalgia grab and a soft-reboot attempt. THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS IN THIS POST. Obviously, we know that they're going in a direction that aims at replacing the old cast with new characters...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I am still trying to digest everything I saw. I enjoyed it, but it feels weird to see a "new" Star Wars movie, because as awful as the prequels were, they were not really covering any new material, it was all fluff leading to an ending we already knew and expected. This is all new ground, and it...

    WarCraft (2016)

    Not sure what you're all smoking calling it "garbage". It's not the best cinematic because the best was Wrath, by all aspects. But it's still amazing graphics, tells a story, has some epic moments.. The TOR cinematics are epic in their own right of course, and all of them have been immensely...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Just Cause 3 is an open-world game where you can use a grappling hook to tether cows to giant fans, choppers together and to the ground, statue heads to planes, dudes to flying gas cannisters. Your character is Rico fucking Rodriguez, the most badass mercenary in the world. Your task is to...

    Spectre (2015)

    Saw this movie last night and it left me very perplexed. As far as Daniel Craig Bond movies go, it was probably my second to least favorite, better than Quantum of Solace only. But as far as James Bond movies go, well it's a fucking classic Bond movie. And that's what I don't get...

    WarCraft (2016)

    Star Wars was an established franchise of MOVIES. Acclaimed movies, loved by millions worldwide. The Phantom Menace sucks yes, as a Star Wars movie. There are, literally, tens of thousands of movies worse on all levels than The Phantom Menace. But people, including myself, hate it because it's...

    WarCraft (2016)

    The trailer looked promising, I don't mind the CGI and they have time to smooth down the details. It's a movie about Warcraft, it looks like Warcraft in a Warcraft setting, so I'm going to see it because I like Warcraft... Not sure why people are expecting a mind-blowing 9 Oscar movie out of...

    question about vanilla Eq's night sounds

    Fun fact : the very peculiar EQ Ding! sound was used in Mario 3D Land on 3DS, where you unlock a new level. First time I heard it I was taken back 10 years As for recognizable sounds, I keep hearing sounds that were used in Goldeneye on N64 in movies and TV shows.. especially the generic...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    From what they said, the only "Old Gods" content in Legion has to do with Shadow Priests being completely revamped and now mastering insanity powers similar to Old God minions, and a couple of Artifact Weapon Quests leading the players to a mysterious area buried under Tirisfal (Tyr's Fall)...

    Holy fucking shit, that transmogrification update was such a mic drop moment. Dude kept saying "Not done!" and adding more unbelievable features, the crowd was going nuts. I have to say, as an avid collector of all sorts of things, that is by far my favorite feature/udpate in Legion...

    Correct, the bridge of a Star Destroyer and a Super Star Destroyer look very similar so you'd be hard pressed to guess which ship they're inside of in that scene. The Star Destroyers in the new movie have a different design, reminiscent of the Sith Cruisers of the Old Republic, hinting...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Apparently it's not another Death Star, it's a superweapon built inside a hollowed-out ice planet, where "Starkiller Base" is located in the movie. If rumors are to be believed, the superweapon destroys, you guessed it, stars. Also it looks like it has a force field around it to protect it, and...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    To be fair, I'm pretty sure those three humongous two hour reviews for the prequels must have taken at least a couple years to make. You can't just improvise this shit, it takes research, tons of editing, etc.. I'm sure he'll make some for the upcoming movies though, eventually.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm arguing that yes, there are "technically" less dungeons in WoD than in BC or WotLK, but only because the dungeon number was unfairly inflated in BC (4 dungeons where it would have been considered one in Vanilla) and that WoD's shorter lifespan also explains its smaller number of dungeons...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I always favored the idea that there are other force users out there beside the Jedi and Sith. I mean, obviously those two factions are the main ones, but the Witches of Dathomir for instance use the dark side of the force to power their "magic" but are not affiliated with the sith. I'm sure...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think the very recent Timewalking feature is going to help re-use old content, since it gives actual good reasons (toys, mounts, and good gear) to run old dungeons every other weekend (BC and Wrath dungeons only for now). Personnally I've yet to get bored in the game, I always find something...

    To be fair, that "dungeons" GIF above is misleading and mostly bullshit. Yes, there were more dungeons during Burning Crusade than in some recent expansions, but the basic temple for Burning Crusade dungeons was "create an environment and then split it into 3 dungeons.. Coilfang Reservoir...

    French version will be a french dub, have fun watching that. Honestly, as a french person, I'd rather wait another 2 days and see it in english, as it was intended by the director.. Instead I'll have to see it in french to get the great quality screen and sound, and then hunt down a small...

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not even attempting to defend this piece of shit movie, but yes there was a reason why they were running, but it was left on the cutting room floor. Originally, they had a scene where the two other probe droids (there were three, we only see one reporting to Maul...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What this expansion forgot is that many people play for many different reasons, so there has to be something for everyone if you want people to keep running your content. Dungeon bosses in previous expansions could drop very rare mounts. There's none of that here. Raid bosses could drop very...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    The hierarchy of Emperor > Grand Moffs > Vader is correct. In ROTJ deleted scenes, Grand Moff Jerjerrod was actually much more of a rival to Vader, and was the main advisor of the Emperor. There was even a scene where Vader goes to see the Emperor in his throne room and is stopped by Jerjerrod...

    Finding a somewhat plausible explaination for why a fight looked completely retarded doesn't make it any less retarded. Jedi and Sith can see the near future somewhat, but that doesn't explain why they suddenly decide to turn a duel into a ballet. If anything, Anakin could have chopped off...
