This is (one of many reasons) why I love these films. I've watched Fellowship of the Ring 25 times (this being my 25th viewing), and I still get something new out of it every time I watch it. I just noticed that when the fellowship is walking up to the door to the Mines of Moria, you can hear wolves howling in the distance. I'd never realized ( Read more... )

The other day, I was playing WoW while my dad was playing an online Nascar race, and we were causing each other to lag. So what's my dad do? Does he tell me I need to get off the game while he's racing? Be polite and not play his game while I'm playing mine? Just suck it up and put up with the lag? Oh no, not my dad. He just upgraded us to ( Read more... )

I just decided to show off my WoW character a little bit. Inside the cut are some screenshots and equipment info.

First off, just to get this out of the way: I'm currently playing as a Human Warrior on Frostwolf. Right now I'm at level 13. So, if anyone on Frostwolf wants to join up in the game, if my away message on AIM says I'm playing WoW, feel free to jump in and give me a hollar. My character's name is Erdrick.

Now, down to business.

( I just witnessed my first horde-vs-alliance battle today. )

Bless us, oh Blizzard, for this thy World of WarCraft, which I am about to install. Thy bounty, through Best Buy, our retailer. Amen.

I don't know whether I should get Half-Life 2 now and wait until Christmas for WoW, or get WoW when it comes out and wait until Christmas for Half-Life 2. On one hand, playing the beta has me addicted to WoW, and I don't know if I want to wait until Christmas to play it again... but on the other hand, Half-Life 2 is out right now, and I could go ( Read more... )

It is my personal belief that this is among the greatest pieces of music ever created. God, I love Apocalyptica. They're one of the only bands who, the more I listen to their songs, the more I like them. With most bands, after I've listened to their songs over and over, I tend to start growing tired of them eventually. I don't think this will ( Read more... )

I've been dabbling a little bit with the Doom 3 editor. Man, this is going to take some getting used to.

It's not that it's any harder to make levels for than other modern FPS games like Quake 3 or Unreal (in fact, it's almost exactly like making Quake 3 levels, but with more emphasis on meshes). It's the lighting. Everywhere I've looked, ( Read more... )
