    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    I don't mind after credits scenes because they give time for the unwashed masses to squeeze out of the theater through a tiny door while I remain seated and discuss the movie with my wife and/or friends and we wait for a potentially cool/fun extra scene. But I do appreciate the irony of...

    WarCraft (2016)

    I'm not sure where people see orcs and humans fighting on equal terms in the trailers. We see a couple of scenes of Lothar or similar badass heroes handling themselves fine, sure, but they're fucking heroes in armor with legendary weapons. Other cannon fodder is seen getting owned and crushed...

    Very rare, but on a tricky timer and cycling through locations. If you really clicked it before crashing, you should receive the mount in your mailbox soon.

    WarCraft (2016)

    I'd argue that there is something refreshing for the masses in seeing a medieval fantasy movie in this era of constant super hero movies. Back in 2005, Warcraft movie would have been on the tail of Lord of the Rings (and paled immensely in comparison after the acclaimed ROTK), and there was...

    WarCraft (2016)

    New TV spot released today. Sorry, my embed skill is not maxed yet. https://youtu.be/pvlGM6ikW0U Looks much better in my opinion, the CGI has definitely improved, but may still be improved a little before release, especially how lighting appears sometimes different on CGI characters and...

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    I think the actor that gets the most people in theater seats in these movies is Michael Fassbender, not Jennifer Lawrence.

    That could be because this trailer was released in December.

    Are you serious? Vibranium's SOLE characteristic in the established movies is that it nullifies impact force, and you complain about vibranium mesh armor not showing impact from bullets?

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yep, definitely an amazing fan film. It picked some ideas from Old Republic cinematics, which is a very good idea that translates well into this style of fighting. So much better than the prequels. I hope we'll see some badass multiple-people-fights in future movies, with the Knights of Ren, etc..

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Pretty sure blaster bolts are projectiles encased in superheated plasma bolts in the Star Wars universe, and not actually "laser blasts". That explains why they're much slower than the speed of light. But really, in a movie where star systems are close enough to be seen by human eyes when a...

    Saw this with the wife and it was the first movie for our 5 year old son, and everyone loved it. It was very funny, had a nice message to it without being overly preachy, an overall good Disney movie without ANY SONGS!

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I believe I read that the Order of the Knights of Ren is something ancient, and has to do with Snoke, who bestowed the mantle of leadership upon Kylo. The Ren suffix is a title, like Darth. As for the choosing of "Kylo", I read a theory that it's simply a mix between Skywalker and Solo...

    Sure but now people will say "If this was a Deadpool movie it would be Wonder Woman putting her fist up inside Deadpool". The world will never be the same.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I took my main through the leveling experience, did every quest and bonus quest.. then leveled my (at the time) seven alts solely on pet battle XP. I took one daily to three MoP pet masters, did three fights, and after about two weeks was 100. Rinse and repeat for painless leveling, especially...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    The whole point of the character of Kylo Ren WAS to show that he is Pee Wee Herman compared to Vader's Lecter.. All I'm saying is there are similarities between the characters, and Vader was not "epic badass" 100% of the time, just like Kylo Ren was not whiny 100% of the time. Characters that...

    Obviously not facial expressions with a mask on, but emotion can be apparent even through a mask depending on other factors, such as body language, head tilt, camera angle, lighting, etc.. Are you telling me Vader looks absolutely the same while he is strangling Admiral Ozzel and when he is...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm quite confident we'll see a much more badass Kylo Ren down the line, but I wanted to argue that point about Vader. In my opinion, Vader did not start changing only after he removed his mask. The first changes could be seen already in subtle gestures or his tone even with the helmet/mask...

    If you're going to use the boost, make sure your character is level 60 when you boost so the boost will also boost your professions to 600. If you do it under 60, you'll have to level up professions yourself. As for the panther mounts cost for doing it yourself, the main chunk in the price is...

    Holy shit I hadn't watched the very last second before the ending, after the credits.. that was pretty damn funny.

    Thanks for these recommendations. I just ordered the first book of Play to Live, it's getting raving reviews everywhere I checked so I might as well try it out. Shame it's not very available though, only paperbacks and not even in all countries, I had to order from another country's Amazon!

    This is the transmog I went with for my Sunwalker Paladin. I chose colors that represented both the sunlight and a tribal feel to them (brown, red, and the feathers give a tribal look I think). The shoulders/helm, visor and shield all have glowing yellow lights, and the axe itself glows yellow...

    Yeah I wasn't an alt person, in fact I played only one toon (warrior) from vanilla until cataclysm when they made everything account-wide, because my main problem with alts was having to redo everything on another toon.. Since then I've maxed out a rogue, warlock, monk, hunter, death knight and...

    I do Dragon Soul on 4 characters, and was doing Ulduar on 8 characters until I recently got Mimiron's Head after 272 attempts ;-) I'm only doing Elegon and Throne of Thunder on my main though because my other toons cannot do it yet, I'm not very well geared and cannot be bothered to actually...

    Finally fished up enough Lunarfall Carps and killed enough Lunarfall Cavedwellers to loot my Riding Turtle mount, so that's done. Took 90 attempts if anyone's interested, even though I expected tons more time spent on it because according to my addon 90 was only giving me a 35% chance of...

    I'm sure you'll forget that quickly but it wasn't Coruscant, it was Hosnian Prime. After the New Republic was founded, they decided it was not fair for the Senate to always be established on a capital world, so it moves around every few years, and it was there at that time.

    The Death Star 2 in ROTJ could fire shots every 5 minutes, so it would have taken about 20 minutes to destroy the Hosnian system.

    As terrible as those worms were, they are astoundingly NOT a movie thing only, they are briefly mentionned in passing in the book as "wereworms", but are never part of the Battle of the Five Armies (then again we hardly see the battle in the book). That whole third movie definitely looked like a...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Correct, but Vader was Tarkin's underling at the time, not his equal. He became the Emperor's right-hand only in the sequels. General Hux is the military equivalent to Kylo Ren, Snoke uses both for what they bring him, and probably also plays them against one another. For giggles.

    That's what I got from it too. Right after he stabbed through his father, the look on his face looked like he was thinking "Why don't I feel better? I should be feeling better! I wanted to do this for so long!" but I think it didn't work out the way he thought, and it probably made him more...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm not saying it's what I personnally want the character to be, I'm just saying it's what I expect may happen. Star Wars has been very cyclical so far, and considering this is basically ANH 2.0 (as much as I enjoyed it), I would not be surprised to see Kylo Ren evolve in that direction...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I doubt the big plan over the trilogy is to end up with Kylo Ren being seen as "the villain". Much like Vader did not end up as "the villain" in the classic trilogy, I expect Kylo Ren will go through several trials that I would not be surprised to see end in redemption or self-sacrifice...
