  • Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic

    This is geting rather exciting, who will win this argument? Sentura aggressively tackles each of Taylor's bullet points, one by one. On the other hand Taylor used the word "frivolous" which makes him a winner in my book! Can't we all agree there are multiple 'good' MMOs out there? Will Sentura's daring move make him victorious or will the WOW players tear him into pieces? I can't look!

  • Club for people who have seen The Dark Knight

    I had to wait one month to be member of the club and to read this thread, the movie is finally out in Germany and thank god the cineplex of my choice provides screenings in English. The waiting was worth it though, I had high expectations, I think after sleeping it over for one night though, I can say that it's the best Batman movie yet. Strangely enough, I thought the weakest moments of the movie were starring Batman himself. The overall atmosphere and setting of the new movies is much more serious and realistic than movies from older times, which makes Batman in his suit, sonar technology goggles and funny voice look out of place. I mean even the villains, albeit crazy, come across as rather "human". Batman himself takes almost a secondary role when it's shown what goes on with all the other characters. I thought it was a bit lame how 2-face got injured though, they were already outside the building, suddenly a flame catches him...I don't know, acid or something would have been cooler. Still two thumbs up, I would watch it again any time!

    Those kids, growing up so fast.. :')

    A big step in your life I take it. How far is the uni away from your home? If American teenie movies tought me one thing it is that you should try to get into a fraternity as soon as possible! Once you got through the (terrifying) recruitment process you will have crazy sex parties each weekend!

  • Dawn of War II Leipzig Cinematic

    Don't take this as an incentive for elaborating on who ripped off who first but isn't it funny how much exactly it looks like Starcraft? You got the bulky space marines, mysterious, spiritual humanoids who look like Protoss and alien monsters who look almost identical to Zergs.

  • the main page of mapcore

    If anybody asks me about my opinion: I'm tired and slightly frustrated by discussion on this subject, we've had numerous threads regarding the frontpage before - for example those in the moderators section - and the outcome is more or less the same, nevertheless nothing happens. Now this isn't a shot at you Thrik (well, ok, I guess now that you are in charge - it is ) but I've dealt with this since Mojo hell even MIKE was still administrating the site, exchanging mails, pms, opening threads. I'll sit this one out and see if anything actually happens once everyone shared his 2 cents and lost interest after a week

    so I chose the bycicle way which is leading directly through the forrest and you can see nothing. nothing nothing except glowing eyes and moving objects. so I walked 4 kilometers when I heard something. turned out to be a shote or something like that so I decided to better run before the mother boar turns up.

    AHAHA oh my god, as horrifying as this might have been for you in that situation, this story just made my morning! Welcome to Germany where angry boars, bears and wolf packs hunt you down in the wilderness if you choose to leave the autobahn!

    The follow up comment by the ginger from New York just makes it even more entertaining! MapCore - clash of the cultures!

    thats crazy, dont you have cabs?

    Cabs? Not in Germany! For reference to how we live in Germany, watch the movie "Brothers Grimm" and imagine more witches and magical animals!

    The monkey-thing is wearing a variety of outfits e.g. punk, dinosaur. I am not sure I understand the meaning of anything any more. EyePet is out next year.

    Best game announcement EVER!

    GO JAMES!

    PS: Where can I see pictures of Monkey Dog Thing?

  • Far Cry 2

    I think the fact that this is running on an xbox360 is pretty awesome. I agree it won't promote innovation and "custom content" in the sense of brand new settings or game modes/mods, but it gives console owners the ability to create own maps and share them via xbox live with other players rather quickly!

    Admittedly, this was already possible in the FarCry console games, but the way Ubisoft sticks to this and promotes it is a good thing in my opinion. Us PC developers are spoilt by the amount of freedom and creativity the platform gives us, I'm sure the average console joe will appreciate such an editor! Especially one that as easy and streamlined to use as this one...

    Oh, the commentator and the script he's reading out is indeed

    cancelled my journey to GC to stay with a GF of mine who's going to be in France for the next 9 months starting september 1st. No I try to contact her and she doesn't react for some weird reason... -.-

    Well of course, she is freaked out by the fact you decided NOT to go to GC to hang out with Gabe and Doug but instead creep around her because she will be gone for "9 months" :roll:

    Actually, don't listen to me, I'm just bitter
