  • What's going on with your life?

    Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

    Be warned, depressing rant filled with self pity coming up.

    […]

    Sorry for getting back at it late. As I said you you already: hang in there!

    Are you looking around for some new job possibilities?

    While for the family issue, could it be possible to have family look after the baby for a few days, so that you would have the chance to spend some quality time with the wife, just to unplug, relax and recharge batteries?

  • The Steam Sale Thread

    I saw Shadow of Mordor getting nominated for GOTY so I'm tempted… but I have such a back catalog that I'd buy if it was cheaper.

    From my wish list I might get The Wolf Among Us, Stanley Parable, Another World (remastered); maybe an adventure like Gemini Rue or something.

    There's also stuff on green man and other.

    I haven't had time to properly browse offers… I shouldn't really buy anything actually.

  • Minesoft...Microcraft...you decide

    I wanted to say the same as sentura

    What's the point in having the money if not spending it, I would get a villa of some sort as well… nothing that opulent tho, I don't like that sort of thing. But I'd want a personal basketball court XD

    Well, I've never been into gossip but it's gonna be interesting what he'll do next

    Think I was trolling? XD

    Never said anything against the dwarves wanting to take back their land… I said it's too stretched that Gandalf drops in Bilbo and force him in the adventure without no reason: is not like they had other adventures before and he could rely on him, Bilbo barely remembers the wizard!

    Didn't know about the dragon legends, so can just take that into account, but still don't like it.

    Anyway, its objective to say that the movies are incredibly watered down and should have been two at best.

    I'm in the cinema to see chapter 3.

    Edit: just back home from the cinema, probably because the good amount of war scenes I liked this best.

  • What's Next

    I completely missed that trailer this summer lol

    Doesn't really make me put any cross on the calendar to remember about it…

    But I don't feel zombie fatigue at all, everything boils down at how a game is made, so waiting for some footage.

  • HATRED

    GTA's main purpose in the game is not kill civilians; all the others didn't sell as much and they are quite old. Since then market expanded and this is so much more graphical…

    Quote from dux

    You're judging a book from 1937 on a modern day film interpritation. No need for that.

    You might be right, but LOTR seems much more adult (as Liam just said above)… I simply said the very most inception is extremely childish and sorry if I can't buy into that. I'm not arguing the book is good… the Grimm's fables are good, but they are for kids! You read them for what they are, if you read them now. I was baffled that an epic saga like LOTR boils down to a greedy dragon, wasn't expecting that.As an aside, I know that the "you're going ignorant" was benevolent on your part (I hope), but I was reading The Odyssey, Iliad and Count Of Monte Cristo when my peers were considered readers if they read Mickey Mouse comics so… I'm not sticking feathers to my bum pretending to be a peacock, but just sayin' where I come from.

    Quote from PogoP

    The Hobbit movies are pretty generic and actiony, but the book is well worth a read. It is primarily a children's book but it's a great adventure. Lord of the Rings is like the serious version of The Hobbit

    Now it makes much more sense. Thanks Liam!I'm going to (try) watching Desolation Of Smaug as soon as I find some cocoa in my suster's cupboards…

  • What have you watched recently?

    Just finished watching it. I even made the effort to start it from the beginning last night… I didn't get into it. It's too Disney.

    When it finally was getting some rhythm, they had to blow things up to wow the 3D audience and come up with these too far stretched sequences. They had the bottomless pits in LOTR, they didn't fell into it to survive 500 meters downfalls. Multiple times.

    Seriously this is too much. This is were a movie turns into a cartoon.

    Don't go drone one me, I remember half of the people here when this came out criticising it. Plus it's below 6/10 on Metacritic as well.

    I'll watch The Desolation Of Smaug later.

    On another note, Homeland –watched another episode while dining– seems good.

  • What have you watched recently?

    Why don't you explain it to me? Seriously, I will never feel compelled to read the book if the whole premise for the whole saga is such a simplistic and pretestuous reason.

    LOTR was another thing, I want to read those books, but this seems like Disney stuff. Not only from a story standpoint, but they event threw in the musical part right at the beginning... hell the whole movie looks like a cartoon with the aformentioned art direction.
