  1. Yeah, so at the MTV music awards, one of the actors from the film gave the title out. Personally.....they could've done better, but oh well, fuck it, it's Indiana Jones.
  2. Fucking idiots in the WSG.... Four battlegrounds, Horde only scores once. I finally went /afk after getting gang raped, and telling everyone to get to the flag room.....but noooooo....... :@
  3. Level 55 Frost Mage; Should hit 56 today.

    I want to know who plays Hank's agent's secretary... Couldn't find anything on google
  6. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MICHIGAN................................................
  7. Spoiler tags, please. Look, Dr. Loomis was the major player next to Myers. I mean....who else knew him better? Nobody. The only reason we didn't get Loomis in H20 and Resurrection was because Donald Pleasance was dead. That simple. Oh, and Zero: A little offtopic, but while we're on the topic of John Carpenter and remakes (not to mention that Village of the Damned was a remake of Children of the Damned ), they're remaking Escape From New York, with Gerad Butler as Snake. God help us. Spoiler: Click here to view THE NAME'S PLISSSSSSSSSSSSSSKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Probably. People should realize that it is a reimagining of Haloween, and not the usual crap that's been spawned since Haloween II came out. I do have one question.... Does it at least have John Carpenter's original theme in it? I mean, it's hard to see Michael without that theme....
  9. She's well aware of that, David. She was helping me......study.....
  10. I feel that for where I am (level 54) in the game that skinning is the better choice. My main profesion is Tailoring, and while I make very little money on that, I'm only keeping it for the sole purpose of getting the Spellfire set when I hit 70. Skinning take 1 second of my time after I've looted a beast, and I'm mainly getting Thick and Rugged leathers at this point, and on my server (Bladefist), they seem to be in short supply. This morning 7 Rugged Leather sold before I could even close the Auction House window after posting them. In certain retrospect, I should've kept mining when I dropped Engineering/Mining....but I won't complain.
  11. I recently read Sandworms of Dune, the supposed finale of Frank Herbert's Dune saga. For those unfamiliar, I'll elaborate. Frank Herbert wrote 6 Dune stories; Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God-Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. He died shortly after finishing Chapterhouse. In the mid 90s, his son, Brian, found a bank where Frank had kept the notes and outline to what was simply known as Dune 7. Brian and noted sci-fi author Kevin J. Anderson got together and began making the outline into a novel. Ah, but wait....first they decided to write six Dune novels serving as prequels to the original dune; the first three taking place roughly 40 to 15 years before the first novel and the last 3 taking place 10,000 years before hand, with a new novel being released each year. Finally, they announced that Dune 7 would be released as two books; Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune. I read Hunters of Dune and really enjoyed it. They brought forth some interesting ideas, and they didn't really on the material that they had included in the prequels. It was a decent book, and from some of the things I recalled from the previous novels, it really felt like they were doing the story the way Frank Herbert intended. Then came Sandworms of Dune.....and what a disaster it was. The plot began strong with what Hunters was, and then just became a tremendous, bad rollercoaster filled with way too imaginative ideas. Take for example the character of Baron Harkonnen, the main villian in the original Dune and a secondary villian in Children of Dune. Now, the Baron is gay, he's a paedo, but Frank Herbert only gives subtle hints at this. The way he's written in Sandworms is more like that of one of those skinhead prisoners waiting for you in the shower. Not good. So....if you like Dune....if you really want to know how it ends....read the book, and check it out from a library. The book is a huge dissapointment, I'd rather watch a documentary on how they make cheese then to ever subject myself to Sandworms of Dune again. I'm furious at how Brian and Kevin J. Anderson have just ridden Dune to money, I wish to christ that they had stuck with just plain Dune 7 instead of giving people that have been waiting 21 years this shit. On top of that, the fucks are writing 3 more prequels....*sigh* Just my thoughts.
  12. I'm pretty sure that's the movie with Burgess Meredith as the voice of some Cobra-La guy or whatever. The dude you're thinking of is Serpentor, and I'm waaaaaay too old to remember this shit. And the Cobra-La guy is Golubulus.....just saying. I'll say this, here's what I think of GI Joe now.... COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! You're thinking of the 3 or 4 bit story called Arise Serpentor (or something similar) where Destro and Professor Mindbender and various other higher ups decided Cobra Commander was a bit wank, and they needed a new one. Mindbender being a genius said 'look! DNA!' and they spent each episode trying to harvest DNA from Attila the Hun, Alexander the Great, and for some reason Dracula. They eventually managed to create their new leader, Serpentor, from this. GI Joe the movie, starring Mickey from Rocky followed this. And I am waaaaaaaay too old to remember this shit. Back on topic, for most of its early run over here it was called Action Force: International Heroes anyway, and the likes of Flint and Lady Jane were for some reason supposed to be English despite their American voiceovers. They dropped it eventually through a painful rebrand (and even worse redubbing of the film) as GI Joe: The Action Force, then GI Joe. So considering there were a fair few ninjas and whatnot anyway, an international flavour shouldn't hurt it too much. A terrible script on the other hand... Yes, but GI Joe's popularity for the past 25 years has been "A Real American Hero". Not to tout USA, but all those guys, Duke, Hawk, Flint, etc, they were bred out of that line, and now we're going to get some team based in Belgium to fight Destroy? Come on, that's bullshit. "Ooooh, help me Smithers, I'm making the Germans angry! Not the Germans!" It's going to be a flop, there's going to be a lot of pissed off people aged 20-35, which might I add is the key demographic in a film like this. Transformers didn't get fucked with, why must GI Joe? It'll be worse than the Super Mario Bros. movie (seriously...Luigi is the hero? WTF?), Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter combined.
  13. Word, just watch out for Gammarita. She can be a pain. Personally, I prefer the turtles just outside of Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris. Great way to get the moolah for your lvl40 mount if you need to. Hinterlands are good as a way to stockpile money for your epic ground mount. Well, I'm a level 54 mage, so Gammarita isn't much of a pain for me. I've killed her so many times it's not funny. In other news, working on a twink warrior for the WSG. Tauren Warrior, level 13 so far, he has 550 health. I power leveled his engineering so I could get the green goggles (+8 Stamina and +7 Spriit); I just need to get some good level 19 equipment. I'm already standing by to get the firey enchant.
  14. Yes, skinning is awesome. I prefer the turtles near Revantusk Village in The Hinterlands. Easy kills, and not only do you get a ton of thick and rugged leather, but also turtle scales, which sell for a lot.
  15. Hit 54 tonight; tomorrow I'm going to try to clean up all my green quests. Just 4 more levels before Outland Profile

  17. WHAT?! WE GET FUCKING DESTRO IN CHARGE OF COBRA INSTEAD OF COBRA COMMANDER?! WTF?!
  18. From the 1984 Dune: Baron Harkonnen: I will have Arrakis back for myself! He who controls the Spice controls the universe! And what Piter did not tell you is we have control of someone who is very close, very close, to Duke Leto! This person, this traitor, will be worth more to us than ten legions of Sardaukar! Feyd-Rautha: And who is this, traitor? Baron Harkonnen: I won't tell you who the traitor is, or when we'll attack. However, the Duke will die before these eyes and he'll know, he'll know, that it is I, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who encompasses his doom! Suburban Commando Hutch: [in a kids voice] You're a dead man, Ramsey. Shep Ramsey: No wonder you guys don't talk. (Note: Hutch was played by The Undertaker) Gangleader: Do you have any idea what we are gonna do to you? If we find any kind of scratch? Shep Ramsey: Lemme guess. Your gonna pound my face. Gangleader: What are you nuts? This is the '90s. We're gonna sue you. Charlie Wilcox: Look, I'm your landlord. I bring you an extra bar of soap when you need it. Perhaps I can help stop the occasional bank robbery. But being the target of intergalactic bounty hunters is a little out of my line! Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels: Bacon: Right. Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping. You're up here shoplifting. You see these goods? Never seen daylight, moonlight, Israelite. Fanny by the gaslight. Take a bag, c'mon take a bag. I took a bag home last night. Cost me a lot more than ten pound, I can tell you. Anyone like jewelry? Look at that one there. Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney. It's as long as my arm. I wish it was as long as something else. Don't think because these boxes are sealed up, they're empty. The only man who sells empty boxes is the undertaker, and by the look of some of you lot today, I'd make more money with me measuring tape. Here, one price. Ten pound. Eddie: Did you say ten pound? Bacon: Are you deaf? Eddie: That's a bargain. I'll take one. Bacon: Squeeze in if you can. Left leg, right leg, your body will follow. They call it walking. You want one as well, darling? You do? That's it. They're waking up. Treat the wife. Treat somebody else's wife. It's a lot more fun if you don't get caught. Hold on. You want one as well? Okay, darling, show me a bit of life then. It's no good standing out there like one o'clock half-struck. Buy them, you better buy them. These are not stolen, they just haven't been paid for, and we can't get them again. They've changed the bloody locks. Here. One for you. It's no good coming back later when I've sold out. "Too late, too late" will be the cry when the man with the bargains has passed you by. If you got no money on you now, you'll be crying tears as big as October cabbages. Eddie: Bacon, cozzers! Bacon: Shit. Bacon: Harry didn't think that he did a very good job, so he grabbed the nearest thing to hand, which just so happened to be a 15 inch black rubber cock, and proceeded to beat poor old Smithy to death with. And that was seen as a nice way to go. Now, that, is why you pay Hatchet Harry, when you owe. And last, not from a movie, but the greatest quote in TV history, from Weeds: Andy Botwin: Alright, listen closely. I'm not going to beat around the bush. Ha ha ha. Your little body's changing - it's all good, believe me. Problem now is... every time we jerk the gerkin, we get a lot of unwanted sticky white stuff everywhere, right? Right. So... First order of business - no more socks. They're expensive, gumming up the works plumming-wise. Now you might be thinking to yourself, "But, Uncle Andy, what do I do with all that pearl jam if I can't spew it into Mr. Sock?" Glad you asked... You can have a lovely time tugging the tiger in the shower each morning - that eliminates the need for a goo glove. But, the day is long, masturbation's fun, so unless we want to take 4 or 5 showers every day, we're gonna need some other options. So let's start with the basics. Tissues. Perfectly acceptable backstop for all that Creamy Italian. They can be rough and dry on such soft, sensitive skin and it can stick to your dick head like a fuckin' band-aid - ouch. From there we move on to more lubricated flack-catchers - specificially, bananas. Step one: Peel the banana. Step two: Slip the peel over your Randy Johnson and start pitching. Now for extra credit, warm up the peel in the microwave. Not too hot! Serious yowza. Also, olive oil, moisturizer, honey, spit, butter, hair conditioner, and Vaseline can all be used for lube. In my opinion, the best lube... is lube. So save your allowance and invest in some soon. Alright, moving on - when you tug your Thomas on the toilet - ffft - shoot right into the bowl. In bed - soft t-shirt, perhaps a downy hand towel of your very own that you don't mind tossing after tossing. There's no such thing as polishing the raised scepter of love too much. It reduces stress, it enhances immune function. Also, practice makes perfect. So work on your control now, while you're a solo artist - you'll be playing some long, happy duets in the future. Ok - class dismissed.
  19. Ghostbusters: Janine: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis? Winston: Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say. Venkman: If I'm wrong, nothing happens! We go to jail - peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it! But if I'm right, and we can stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters. Rocky Balboa: Rocky: The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Back to School: Professor Terguson: Is she right? 'Cause I know that's the popular version of what went on there. And a lot of people like to believe that. I wish I could, but I was *there*. I wasn't here in a class room, hoping I was right, thinking about it. I was up to my knees in rice paddies, with guns that didn't work! Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him; While pussies like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the goddamn Beatle albums! AHHH! AHHH! AHHH! Thornton: Hey Professor, take it easy. These kids were in grade school at the time, and as for me... I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover. (a couple lines later) Professor Terguson: You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China? Then take the fucking wall apart brick by brick and nuke them back into the fucking stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? Say it! Say it! Thornton: All right. I'll say it. 'Cause Truman was too much of a *pussy wimp* to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards! Professor Terguson: ....Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you. Thornton: [chuckling to his classmates] Good teacher. He really seems to care. About what I have no idea.

    D&D MSN...

    If it were done on a forum.....it could be pretty incredible. Easy access maps, etc. Plus, why should we limit ourselves to just D&D? There's a ton others, like the Star Wars RPG (...I'm old school and like the old d6 system). It could be rather fantastic. I don't know if I'll have the time....but it would be very interesting to see it develop.
  21. The Lord of the Rings. Maybe it's the fact that each film is so long, and even longer still if you have the extended editions. Rocky Balboa. Saw it, loved it, have no desire to watch any of it except the training scene and the actual fight. Any Friday the 13th film.... Beerfest (Only if you're sober that is) Anything with Tom Cruise since Jerry Maguire.... And for me, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. It had the charm of being a Star Wars film, and is arguably the weakest of the saga. Seeing it once was good enough, I didn't think the plot was that great, considering that if you had seen the original trilogy many times, you knew damn well what was coming in the third. It was more of a filler.
  22. Very excited about tonight's premier....should be interesting to see the resolution from last season's cliffhanger.
  23. 22 Levels to Go.... Well, at least when I'm 70, I'll be able to farm gold like a madman. God only knows what shit they're going to throw into this regarding NEW mounts. ....On the plus side, I'll be ready to rock by then, plus the extra 10 talent points will really get me pumped up.
  24. I generally hate the idea that Family Guy is a Simpson's ripoff, on the basis the if you say that, then every animated TV show about a family with a not-so-bright father is a ripoff of the other, the exception being The Flintstones, which in itself was an animated ripoff of The Honeymooner's set in prehistoric times. I prefer Family Guy over The Simpsons. Yes, it's getting old, but goddamn, the jokes that Family Guy come up with are hysterical, I don't care how many times it's beating a dead horse. The Simpson's on the other hand, at least in my view, looks like they're trying to convey some kind of moral message, followed up with a side story of somebody's zany adventure. And also, to the people saying that the Griffins are a ripoff of The Simpsons, let's examine the family members: Homer vs Peter: Both are idiots. Both are drunks. Peter embraces his male neighbors, Homer hates his. Peter is a prodigy when it comes to 80's pop trivia, while Homer just fucks it up somehow. Marge vs Lois: Lois is incredibly adventurous, promiscious, and open minded, while Marge just sees something she doesn't like and does that "mmmmhhhhhhhhh". Bart vs Chris: One's 10, the other's 14/15. Chris stays out of trouble, Bart worships it. Lisa vs Meg. Lisa is a genius, Meg is obbsessed with her social life (or lack thereof). Lisa eventually has sex as implied by future episodes (...Milhouse....Ralph ), while Meg becomes a transgendered. Maggie vs Stewie. Ok, both are infants. One just sucks a pacifer, the other is psychotic and brilliant. Yes, ripoff indeed. Santa's Little Helper vs Brian. .....nothing should be said. So then, must The Simpson's have the absolute monopoly on being an animated TV show where the starring roles is a family? No, it shouldn't. Despite ER still running, I have yet to hear how House rips off of it. If you like one and not the other, fuck it. They don't rip off of eachother, just let it be. And you're going to cry ripoff, let's remind ourselves that how many themes in literature are constantly recycled off another one? Exactly.
  25. Hit 31 earlier tonight....... Waiting to hit 35 so I can get Artisan Engineering... Then it's on to the mount! Also have to respec my mage >_
