    [MMO] The WarCraft Movie

    Re: Warlords of Draenor Up until Warlords of Draenor, most of the expansions had been firing off previously established Chekhov guns. Warlords is the only one that didn't feel like it had been foreshadowed in WarCraft III - and it felt like, rather than introduce majorly new plot points, it was...

    [MMO] The WarCraft Movie

    Totally... but it's still neat that they were setting up long *before* they killed off all their interesting characters.

    [MMO] The WarCraft Movie

    Also, wanted to say: ScytheRexx, I have a non-ironically deep appreciation for how reliably I can come back to this forum and post about WoW and know that you will be here and totally be able to answer my questions no matter how obscure. I went to see the movie with a random WarCraft meetup in...

    [MMO] The WarCraft Movie

    >This is where it gets really sort of crazy. Lol. Okay, so it sounds like I more or less had everything down *until* the Time Travel part, and at that point I think I'm probably fine with getting lost and confused. :p One thing that threw me was that, in the opening trailer for Warlords of...

    [MMO] The WarCraft Movie

    Ah, okay. Makes sense. (like you, I'd reserve judgement on what to make of it all, but it's an interesting take. I definitely did have a moment of "woah - that seems important" when I saw how well it was doing in China). I was really glad when I heard it was doing so well overseas - it was...

    [MMO] The WarCraft Movie

    I didn't realize the intended "Medivh was Garona's father" implication at the time I posted this. I'm kind of ambivalent about this, especially because they obviously just fucked up their own canon in the first place. Before this was pointed out, I had kind of liked a subtle thing about Garona...

    [MMO] The WarCraft Movie

    Not sure whether this properly goes in the Media forum or the Games forum, but the people I wanted to talk about it with are more reliably over here so.... I've been reading reviews for the past two weeks with grim determination, knowing that no matter how awful they were, I still *had* to see...

    [PC Game] Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void

    I actually remember liking Artanis is Brood War - he was the young, dynamic 200-year old Protoss in a world of conservative 900 year old fogeys. Legacy of the Void is a fitting continuation of his character, but all the cool transitional stuff happens offscreen - him getting thrust into the...

    Interesting point.

    [PC Game] Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void

    StarCraft Ending. (Spoilers) I think Legacy of the Void was a draft or two away from being a great story - there's a lot of latent stuff there, which I can't tell whether the authors intended. I'm not even sure if it should be more *explicit* (I like the subtlety), just examined a little more...

    Looking for an oddly specific game (Or, the Minecraft Thread)

    Yeah, I meant music-with-vocals, that made me feel the way the music in the game does. I like the idea behind Take Back the Night - and people with different aesthetic senses than mine may find it genuinely poignant in the way I'm looking for. I found the music style a little too bland-pop and...

    Looking for an oddly specific game (Or, the Minecraft Thread)

    Is there any *good* Minecraft music? I have found the game hauntingly beautiful, and am disappointed that all I can find are silly pop parodies.
