LOL Nate has been achievement whoring lately. He's part of me and starla's 5-man heroic group. Also: starla and Vile are pretty in charge of the ginvites, but if you message me I can hop on an alt and add you too. I'm on my main pretty much 24-7 Also: I has a suprise for j00 Val :3

Yuppp just read that. Incoming 50 DKs on Illidan.

10-Man Naxx Saturday night. BE THERE. Seriously.

Come get it then, baby :3

I don't steal thunder, I share thunder.

Need a new WoW thread anyway. One that keeps better track of where people are (server wise) since the guy who made that one disapeared.

Tomorrow. Seriously. I'm done with school, now. There's no reason for me to NOT be doing this. New episode by Friday.

Yea, we tried that and I got like...3 entries on time, and like 2 more late. That's why I just left it open =\

I got an email today that I need to get all my assets out ASAP. I probably won't be on until Wednesday-Thursday, though I'm probably gonna log on for a bit now starla probably won't be on until Wednesday or Thursday either ((((((9999

Desaturated means it's closer to gray. Totally desaturated colors are a shade of complete gray. It's true that pale colors are desaturated. They're closer to the brighter-greys, or white, but still pale. HOWEVER not all desaturated colors are pale. Dark gray is totally desaturated, but not pale, for instance. So, like I said before, desaturated DOES NOT mean pale. Ganondorf is general portrayed with a darker skin-tone, which can be close to grayish, often somewhere between desaturated green and brown, but never PALE. This is, of course, if I'm understanding what you're trying to say. Regardless of whether or not he Nintendo intended him to be green-green, desaturated green, grey, brown, or purple the reality of the situation is if he's not within what we define in our heads as a realistic range of color for skin pigment (within the bounds of reason, and assuming we're putting him in a realistic 'live-action' setting), then it's going to look weird. The difference between making Mystique in the X-Men movies look like a darker blue and a smurf. And given Ganondorf's history. Being a boy raised in the desert, it would make sense to make him darker, because you don't run into many light-skinned people in the desert. I'm not saying he needs to be BLACK, or even middle-eastern looking, but definitely darker than most latins...and less orange. Things that aren't nessacarily "real" but don't look "believable" ruin the entire setting. This is in the same vain as the clothes.

Desaturated color =! Pale. His complextion isn't PALE in that picture, just all the color values were brought up, to make EVERYTHING lighter. Even the BLACKS and DARK GREENS have pretty light areas.

I don't know when Ganondorf would ever be considered "pale" in Zelda. Growing up in the desert and all. Also THIS is official OoT Ganondorf art, too: I also hate how everyone's clothes in fan-made movies look like crap. Not that they look like they were crappily made, but more they look like they were crappily made YESTERDAY. These people clean laundry in buckets. They dye their clothes with flower pigments. Link is constantly rolling in dirt and riding horse back. How is it his clothes look like they were cleaned ONCE with color safe bleach?

People just have terrible color vision or something.

The CG in this is actually REALLY impressive. But seriously Seriously. Seriously? Seriously. WHY is Ganon ALWAYS bright fucking green? Maybe a desaturated Olive, or a straight up brownish, or something...oh I don't know...a little more BELIEVABLE than fucking BRIGHT GREEN. I could stab some people for that shit. Who on your art direction staff let's that stuff pass?

When I talked to them the other day they said ti was "Still up in the air" to "doubtful" for MAG

lol, you should hear Matt on Vent when you're doing that stuff. "There's no way Valerie'll be able to pull aggro off me" "What is she just seeding everything?!" "Did she just do like a dragon breath wtf?!" Non-stop lawlz. PS: We got dedicated heals now. Just need Matt to spec prot now >_>.

As Rovozian said, stuff like this is precisely why I made ReMix:ThaSauce. OCReMix is looking for a pretty specific kind of remix. Granted you have a good amount of a freedom, you have a LOT of specific (subjective) criteria you have to meet. That doesn't mean the songs are BAD or no one deserves to hear them, that just means they don't fall within the standards for what makes an "OCReMix" which is more than what most people would consider "just being a good song." OCR is what OCR is because that's how they chose to be. That's what's always worked for them, and that's what they're going to continue doing. There's no use getting upset, and bent out of shape about it, because it's not changing, and that's COOOL, because there are other options out there. They're just not nearly as well known.

I don't care what format it's in, just so long as the album artist tag has SOMETHING in it for ALL the MP3s so that it groups them together right in my iTunes But I know you know how I feel about that =P

Sad that you never get to make it MAGFest? Want to catch MAGFest's most celebrated bands? NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! Powerglove, video game metal cover band, who've been at MAGFest 5 and 6 just recently kicked off a national touring opening for none other than power metal band DragonForce. I realize that DragonForce isn't particularly everyone's cup of tea, but Powerglove is absolutely A-MAZING, and seeing them on a large stage in a real venue is absolutely breath taking. Having been a fan of DragonForce since sometime in 2003, and being a HUGE fan of Powerglove since I first heard them in concert at MAG5, I just went to their show here in Orlando last night and I was one of the funnest concert I've been to in a LONG time. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone else who loves video game music, and who can handle the awesome-ness of their metal sound. Remaining dates are as follows: Nov. 23 - House of Blues - Myrtle Beach, SC Nov. 24 - Jaxx - West Springfield, VA (No Dragonforce) Nov. 25 - Irving Plaza - New York, NY Nov. 26 - Starland Ballroom - Sayreville, NJ Nov. 28 - Rams Head Live - Baltimore, MD Nov. 29 - The Palladium - Worcester, MA Nov. 30 - Electric Factory - Philadelphia, PA Dec. 01 - The Chance - Poughkeepsie, NY (No Dragonforce) Dec. 02 - The Medley - Montreal, QC Canada Dec. 03 - Imperial - Quebec City, QC Canada Dec. 05 - Kool Haus - Toronto, ON Canada Dec. 06 - Royal Oak Music Theater - Royal Oak, MI Dec. 07 - Agora Theater- Cleveland, OH Dec. 08 - House of Blues - Chicago, IL Dec. 09 - The Rave - Milwaukee, WI Dec. 11 - Picador - Iowa City, IA (No Dragonforce) Dec. 12 - MYTH - Minneapolis, MN Dec. 13 - Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg, MB Canada Dec. 15 - Events Centre - Edmonton, AB Canada Dec. 16 - MacEwan Hall - Calgary, AB Canada Dec. 19 - Croation Cultural Centre - Vancouver, BC Canada Oh, and Turisas was pretty awesome too. I was unfamiliar with them up until now but all you need to really hear is they're a Finnish metal band dressed like vikings with an dude playing a violin and a girl on an accordian... Plus they do a sweet cover of Boney M's Rasputin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y150Lm4kZ_M

...you're kinda behind on the whole Castlevania thing, aren't you?

Because I'm not made of money, and I have bills to pay, and 2 copies of Chrono Trigger is enough for me right now. Castlevania: OoE is $30, garunteed quality, AND I haven't BEATEN IT 40 times already.

Only $40? I'll pass.

I think what's really important here is...previously, some of the coolest content in the game was only enjoyed by people who didn't really care how cool it was, or what the lore was, but rather just to be the first to do it and say they did (the guy who hit 80 first didn't even quest, nor is he interested in questing at all, he just want to raid to raid. These guys could be playing any MMO with no lore at all and the same game mechanics for all they care). Doing things like this not only allows people who're actually interested in the content to EXPERIENCE the content, but with the heroic 25-mans it also makes things more challenging for the more hardcore PvE pro-squad players.

Crappy gear I think not. They're probably in ridiculous amounts of Sunwell Gear. This whole expansion thus far has been less scaled itemization wise. Guilds in full sunwell probably won't even see an upgrade until heroic Naxx. With TBC they re-did a lot of how stats work (stam specifically) so we saw huge jumps and changes. By now they've gotten it nailed down pretty well. I was just joking with my friend yesterday about whenever you see someone wearing "new gear" you can tell right away that their gear is bad because I haven't even gotten NEAR an upgrade, even for some of my Kara stuff, and I'm almost 74. What I HAVE found to be *close* will take away too much HR for me to want to commit too, especially since I've gone from a 10% chance to hit to an 8% chance to hit without changing my HR AT ALL yet. It's also important to remember that: A)Not only did these guilds ru preTBC Naxx, they've also been running these raids on the beta CONSTANTLY. There was never a point on either realm I was on (Premade server or normal PvP beta server) that one of the "big name guilds" wasn't farming one of these raids. Hell Blood Legion (Illidan's big name guild) was in Naxx LAST NIGHT and of course they had no problem because EVERY day they were in there on the beta. It's also likely that they had enough people to break up groups into the 10-mans and make sure they geared specific people rather than spreading the loot around with random rolls or DKP. I'm almost POSITIVE all the tanking gear went to 1 or 2 tanks, and all the healing gear when to 1-2 heals, and the rest was given to a few solid DPS. With all these guys already having a ridiculous amount of HR and DPS, gear up a few tanks, get some crazy +heals, throw in some new world enchantments and gems (which are EXPONENTIALLY sicker) and it's not really all that suprising. What this DOES mean, though, is that the way to gear up for Naxx is to go BACK and do Sunwell...which is kind of exciting to me since it's the 1 raid I've never gotten into. These world firsts mean close to nill. The REAL "world firsts" were acquired monthes ago. The REAL challenge will be seen when they start adding Ulduar, and Icecrown, and all that jazz.

Not many people in Dalaran yet. I was there on the beta, and I can tell on my server it's going to suck...hard. It's small. VERY small. A lot smaller than Shat. I've actually been enjoying lag-free Shat, lately, but I am NOT looking forward to Dalaran
