Re: What is everyone playing these days?

PlayStations have always been my console of choice, but god Sony has been a PR disaster this generation. You couldn't script a better fall from grace. I haven't bought into all this DLC malarkey, so I never provided them with any financial information, and this just means there's no chance in hell ...

Re: What is everyone playing these days?

I'm not sure my PC would do it any justice tbh. I've never been a PC gamer for that reason really - I don't want to have to upgrade my stuff to play one new game. That's the beauty of console gaming to me - a game runs and looks great on all consoles, whereas the PC equivalent only runs and looks g...

Re: Prince of Persia replicas

Prince of Persia looks bad. There was a pretty lengthy trailer for it when I went to see Iron Man the other day, and it made me glad I was never a fan of the trilogy of games that this film is based off of. I wish someone would realise that what works in games, has failed to work on screen for the ...

Re: Which is better?

Well, 'better' is subjective of course, so it depends on the person. Back when I was in my collecting prime however, I went for the limited edition stuff first. Gimli's helm is the only limited piece in this poll, and has been out for over 5 years now. I believe you can still find it, and for a rea...

Re: NC Staff of Gandalf the Grey

Yikes. I imagine anyone who paid that felt sick to their stomach once they found out United was going to be producing them again. I've only resorted to eBay once for this collection, for the Shards of Narsil, and I was happy with the price I got them for. Certainly nowhere near as outlandish as thi...

Re: NC Staff of Gandalf the Grey

Those are the first real pics I've seen of the Noble staff I think...I don't recall any being posted here over the years, anyway. To be honest, it doesn't look as bad as I imagined it would. At its original price, I don't think it would have been a bad buy. But for $1,000+? I would have a hard time...

Re: A Song of Ice and Fire! - HBO

I'll be most interested to see how they play it as well. I mean, if they want to keep it true to the novels, the incest is going to have to be there. The Kingslayer is the real father of Cersei's children, after all. I suppose they could alter the lore slightly though, and have Jaime be Cersei's br...

Re: A Song of Ice and Fire! - HBO

Well, better late than never, as they say; I'd completely forgotten about this! Definitely some familiar faces there. Will be nice to see Sean Bean as the 'good' guy for a change. I also like Lena Headey as Cersei! Too bad any action you see with her will be with her on screen brother :| Though if ...

Re: LOTR coming on BluRay

[quote=""Olorin""]Yes but not right away. It will probably coincide w/the theatrical release of The Hobbit.[/quote] And that still doesn't sit right with me. Many of us have already double-dipped on the DVDs, and they want us to do it again on Blu-Ray? I know, I know, I don't hav...

Re: The Sword of Samwise (Museum Collection) Review and Photos

I meant give yourself more credit when it comes to your reviewing skills. You've helped change the perception of a least two people, so you can't be all that bad at it :P And yes, I believe I can get every UC LotR piece ever made. I'm just about half way done with university now, so when I finally ...

Re: The Sword of Samwise (Museum Collection) Review and Photos

Excellent review, and fantastic "poctures" . I especially like the comparison shots with MC Sting. It's a shame about it being a bit of a 'diet' Museum Collection piece in terms of the display, but I guess the lower price is a somewhat tolerable trade-off. It certainly doesn't seem as if ...

Re: The Hobbit

Technically, my last post before these most recent ones was only back in May, so not quite a year :P

Still, I appreciate the welcome back. I'll try to post more often from here on :)

Re: The Hobbit

I would enjoy that also. The inclusion of Aragorn (and Legolas, for that matter) satisfies that need to appeal to the masses (as the article suggests), whilst also placating the real LotR fans in the process, since their appearance would not be entirely out of the realm of possibility, even if it i...

Re: Current movies you've seen

[quote=""BladeCollector""]I want to see Taken... looks good and has Liam Neeson, what else could be better?[/quote] I went to see it last weekend, and it is good. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're still interested. It's pretty rare you get to see Liam Neeson as t...

Re: Terminator Salvation

[quote=""Olorin""]Because this is a family-friendly site, I won't post a link to this, but did you guys hear the absolutely freaking over the top, gone ballistic tirade that Christian Bale unleashed on the hapless DP of Terminator Salvation? It hit the news yesterday, though it h...

Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

Thanks, Valkrist, I appreciate that. Things are great with me. At college studying to be an Accountant (fun fun :P ) at the moment, where I was invited into the honours society after my first semester. So far, so good with regards to that, I think. Apart from that, nothing much has changed. Not bou...

Re: Pure Harry Potter Discussion

I have to say, when I first read about Horcruxes in Half-Blood Prince, the One Ring did enter my thoughts. While there's no way for sure for us to know if this was her influence, it's an easy connection to make. I do, however, think that she varied the concept sufficiently to make it an idea unique...

Re: Pure Harry Potter Discussion

You're welcome :) I must admit, I do find his decision to place such an important item in the Room of Requirement a little bewildering. I think Dobby makes a point that the room is not all that well known to the students when he first reveals its existence to Harry in the Order of the Phoenix book,...

Re: Pure Harry Potter Discussion

It's the chapter entitled Sectumsempra. Here's a passage from the part in question: "...He stuffed the Half-Blood Prince's book behind the cage and slammed the door. He paused for a moment, his heart thumping horribly, gazing around at the clutter...would he be able to find this spot again, am...

Re: Pure Harry Potter Discussion

Some very interesting comments there, GuardianWolf, particularly concerning the deux ex machina 'problem'. And I say problem because that's exactly what it is. It's not like this is the only book where an unlikely character shows up to save the day, or e xp lain why something happened the way it di...

Re: Pure Harry Potter Discussion

Well this thread has been dead for well over a year now, so what better way to revive it than with discussion of the final book! From this point on, beware of SPOILERS for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , so if you haven't read it, don't continue reading this thread (unless, for some reason, ...

Re: Order Of The Phoenix

I saw it yesterday as well, and agree with many of your thoughts, Olorin. The introduction of new characters like Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt seemed to be present simply for the sake of it, whilst returning characters had next to nothing to do (especially Lupin and Mad-Eye, as you mentioned). I ...

Re: The Hobbit

I agree. While I don't think a director returning to helm a project is as important as say, a lead actor reprising his role (if he's a good one, mind you), there are just certain instances where if a different director took over the project, it just wouldn't sit well with a lot of people, and would...
