Well...E3 is coming up soon. But that's a discussion to be had in the off-topic folder.
We talk about this:
And jizz our pants.
Well everyone's got a huge pile of replays laying around now, but that can be frustrating since you can't actually test what you've learned from them.
Dunno what else to be honest ;) I hope Blizzard gives us some updates soon!
You know, even though I can't actually conjure up other examples off the top of my head, re-inventing some of these combatants as psycho-killers already feels banal to me :p.Quote:

I flat-out don't think that such a film would be taken seriously by the videogame community, despite the surprisingly positive response this video has gotten.
Macro?
OMG demo squid your unbanned! lol
Also if any one whats to trade videos that would be cool, something that day9 suggested. I got a bunch of zerg ones if anyone is interested. :) would like to see maybe some protoss ones as that is the race i rarely play.
we should discuss how to fix the frenzy & Corrupt abilities.
i got 4 pages of responses on taht on TL. here i got one louzy reply. bad topic name i suppose?
There were two threads discussing those abilities that went on for a while, so lots of stuff was said there.Quote:

I don't think there's a way to fixem' throught tweaking; they need to be completely changed. Made AoE, have a different effect, etc...
I'll take a gritty dark realistic and R-rated Mortal Kombat movie over another unicorns and glitter Mortal Kombat movie any day.Quote:

Do you think BETA phase 2 will be a open beta? It seems logical to me for a couple of reasons. First, if you wan't to really stress test your architecture, you need massive number of people in here. Second, it is basically free publicity, everyone can enter and play a couple of noobs game and try the whole thing, maybe if they unlock some vs AI challenge those ppl don't get crushed on Bnet and then buy the game ^^. And finally you got a shitload of people making a battle.net account, seeing hoe blizzard got a awesome only service, etc.
So if i am blizzard, phase 2 is a 3 week open beta.
Visions of Khas posted a link in the MK off-topic thread talking about just what this is.Quote:

WB better green light this movie. If they don't, they are truly stupid.
I already knew it wasn't being made yet.Quote:

Well, here's the thing - look at CnC3. They were going for dark and gritty, but it's still extremely hammy. Same with CnC4, from what I've heard.Quote:

I wouldn't really know to add to that discussion besides variants to those spells, which are a dime a dozen ;)
I agree those spells are a concern, but even without those two spells, the races seems pretty wholesome right now.
I won't elaborate any more here since I already did in those two threads though ;)
I'm rather satisfied with the game overall, and waiting to see what Blizzard has in store post-hiatus. If I were to complain about stuff I'd be voicing my concern about Bnet of course^^
As you just said, its a cliche setup to get a bunch of characters to fight one another. MK is cliche.Quote:

This is what you're really looking for: http://kotaku.com/5560010/

Also, @ Grunt
You worry too much about them cutting the fantasy. I suggest reading this interview with the director of the short.
Since super mario galaxy 2 will be for sale tomorrow we can talk about that game instead.
But how can the replays be seen now, that we cannot login, and where to get them?Quote:

That mortal kombat pitch video looks awesome, better than anything that hack Paul Anderson could have done.
In documents there should be a map called starcraft 2, check it through for replays. (note: this is not where you installed starcraft 2)
I think it needed more BAY-SPLOSIONS! to be honest.Quote:

Look at Ong-bak and tell me you weren't happy to see all the wires and stuff taken out. Why wouldn't MK be the same. I think this is a fresh look at a great franchise. My only worry is that the characters fighting styles need to be fleshed out better. How many plastic surgeons you know can fight like that? this is a minor background tweak, but it would make the whole project better. Thoughts?
Thanks a lot Hammy :) You'll get me through these boring weeks ^^
I read this thread title, and immediately predicted Archer would have just 1 post containing only one word.....the only thing I missed was the question mark. :)Quote:
Macro?
Back on topic.......Planet Cracker.
Yeah...I don't know if I'd want to be a foregone conclusion. Guess Archer likes it that way.Quote:
