Music / dance dance dance
« on: November 10, 2005, 10:04:54 PM »
i heard the song "dare" by the gorillaz on the radio.  that is one good dance song.  I could say a bunch of other good dance/club songs <that happen to not be rap> but i will suffice with that.  Anyone else got some favorite or good dance songs?  I would like to hear them.

the video for the song is also kind of funky.  frankenstein giant head thing going on while noodle ( the female character) dances around.

Role-Playing Games / just silly.
« on: November 09, 2005, 06:09:33 AM »
i am watching kingdom of heaven nonchalantly (if that is spelled right).  anyway, there is a fight with 2 knights and orlando bloom.  well orlando uses his sword, by grabbing the blade along with the hilt, to take away the dual chain morning star away from the attacking knight.  why can't we do that in d&d?  that is just a cool move, to get a disarm bonus for swords against chain weapons.  anyway, just plain silly question.  We all know d&d is real and movies are fake.

Role-Playing Games / favorites anyone?
« on: November 09, 2005, 05:35:23 AM »
a stupid question for a stupid thread, but i wondered what everyone's favorite race in D&D is?  to play or just in general.  Also why is it your favorite?

Mine is probably dwarf to play, probably because i relate to them the most.  maybe it is just my dwarvish nose and my love for gems and being in my room, that happens to be underground, and i seem to be shorter than all my friends.  "watch yer beck"!!(all you WoW should know that phrase)

the nightwalkers look pretty cool as a non-player race. Also finger of death is just cool.

Movies and TV / boondocks, yeah or neah?
« on: November 07, 2005, 07:13:16 AM »
If any of you watch adult swim on sundays, there is a new show called "the boondocks".  Wondered what people thought of it, that and i also wanted to make a new thread.  
    I liked the nice anime animation for the show, but the show was kind of hit or miss for all their jokes.  It was pretty racist like the promos said, but some of the jokes were funny but i was just kind of intrigued by what the story was more than laughing.  
   Sunday is usually the comedy night on adult swim and this show seemed kind of out of place, (maybe putting it on saturday with the other action/drama anime).  I am glad that time was put into animation after a stint of low budget animation shows (12 oz. mouse, squidbillies,etc.)  All and all, I will probably check it out next week to see what unfolds in the story but i am not sure the show is going to stick around for a long time.  Now if they could only bring back some golden oldies into production, (home movies, samurai jack).

Video Games / star wars: battlefront 2 review
« on: November 03, 2005, 03:23:43 AM »
i just finished the campaign (it is broken into 2 sections).  it took about 5 hours roughly.  I thought the game was really fun and i can't wait to dive into some multiplayer with my roomies.  I think this game is much better than the last battlefront.  They lengthened the campaign mode and it actually ties into the story more.  

The first section is based on the episode 3 battles, while the second section deals with stuff between 3 and 4 and it was cool to see how things tie in (ie: why the stormtroopers don't talk like the clone troopers).  The various vehicles you can use are also fun to use, though i suck at flying in the space battles.  The usage of jedi is fun, but i thought it was kind of hard to use them to their full potential.  They also don't stay for very long since they don't heal.  Another nice touch they added is they made sure to incorporate a couple cool levels from the first battlefront (geonosis, kamino).  

Overall, the game is very fun and worth a rental for a get together with your buds.  If you are like me and get tired of the shooter multiplayer genre after a couple hours then i would just reccommend renting this game.

CCGs / ravnica, what will they think up next?
« on: October 29, 2005, 02:56:42 AM »
having played a bunch and seen a lot of the ravnica cards in action there are 2 things that keep coming to mind that me and my co-worker talk about at work.  

1:what will be the style of the 4 guilds in the next set in the block(maybe mixing abilities of the guilds already in play;ie:dredge and transmuting)
2:what kind of gold border cards will be there, especially the legend abilities.  

    I am hoping red/blue guild will be cool.  I would like to see damage/draw cards equal to the damage, with radiance that would be insane.  Even a "induce paranoia" card that does damage if red mana is used is likely. With the kinds of stuff they have out, "glimpse of the unthinkable" for instance is insane for 2 mana, it seems they pulling the stops at what they are afraid of putting out.  Anyway i can't wait!

CCGs / new ravnica deck challenge
« on: October 28, 2005, 03:38:27 AM »
having bought and seen a lot of the ravnica cards.  I want to challenge whoever is up to it to make a deck around "warp world"(i don't know how to link and stuff).  i don't really know how this seemingly worthless card would be played or why.   It does seem like a cool card for multiplayer.  Also as a side note, if you can, try to only use ravnica cards for the deck.

CCGs / magic "the gathering" no really
« on: October 27, 2005, 03:44:52 AM »
is there a certain place you guys play or a certain time you guys play?  i am in provo,  i could try to find people at the mall game store where i get cards and stuff but i wondered if you guys got together to play during the week or something.  If not then who do you play with?  I mean how can you play at a prerelease only? I just want to find some people to play magic with besides my fellow co-worker during our break at work.

« on: October 27, 2005, 03:24:09 AM »
hey, i looked and found only a slight review of eve online. but i play the game (for 4 months now) and wonder if anyone on the site or who visits the site play eve?  if so could you post your names in the game?  it would be cool to play a little with fellow TWGers.  My name in the game is trianos, a calderi.

Rants and Stuff / gameday of fun!!
« on: October 26, 2005, 04:04:06 AM »
hey all,  i couldn't really find any mention of this past weekends events on a forum, so i thought i would write how awesome that was.  I am not sure what everyone's work and stuff is like, but i think having a thing like that every month would be cool.  Brandon's place(i don't remember his TWG name) seems like it works, but i don't want to force that but basically i heard from everyone, "if you want to try to get these kinds of things together it helps if you try to organize it".  So just wondered what everyone thought.  The draft was way cool and the ravnica set is awesome.  I got the magic bug again and bought 2 BOXES of ravnica today!!!  maybe we could have a magic and other board game day again.  this time bring all kinds of constructed decks(of course your prized beatdown deck, but maybe a more "have fun" deck too so nobody avoids playing you). your thoughts?

Movies and TV / episode 3 dvd!!
« on: October 25, 2005, 06:07:09 AM »
this is my first post so i will see if it posts like i want it to.  Anyway, a friend of mine works at blockbuster so we got to watch episode 3 dvd yesterday(2 weeks till it comes out).  The movie is still the same as usual but the extras are on a seperate dvd.  and i must say they did a good job at those.  there are lots of different things to watch.  almost made me reminiscent of lord of the rings when i watched the "in 60 seconds" documentary that went about 1 hour.  they broke apart one scene that was about 60 seconds and showed all the people that worked on it.  The other cool smaller documentary was "the chosen one", which was about anakin through the 6 movies.  There is also some bonuses for those of you with xboxes.  2 playable demo levels of star wars battlefront 2 are on it, one flying and one standard fighting level.  and you get to use jedi now(in the level you get obi wan after a little bit)!  well, that is all i have to really say, a nice finish on a great movie set(hexology?).
