The Dark Knight Lived Up to the Hype

The Dark Knight

I don’t want to become a movie reviewer, but I just gotta say that “The Dark Knight†was awesome. Rarely do movies have such hype surrounding them. Even before Heath Ledge died, this movie was very highly anticipated. The tragic end of his life only added fuel to this already smoldering fire. I saw it and I was satisfied. For once, a movie lived up to its hype.



So much action! As usual, Christian Bale kicked ass as the caped crusader. This time he was charged with taking out the notorious Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger. He played the hell out of that character… literally. It was almost creepy the way he seemed to delight in performing as the menacing mass murder. The chemistry between the two was unbeatable. Other actors Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman, Michael Cain, and the very good Aaron Eckhart all kept pace with the two co-stars. What amazes me even more though is the director (Christopher Nolan) and writers (Jonathan and Christopher Nolan) transformation of this once ridiculous movie series. It has done a 180 and all for the better.

If you are one of the 5 or 6 people in the world that haven’t seen it yet, make sure you get to it fast. Not convinced? Watch the trailer.

Definitely one of the best movies i’ve seen in a very long time. Christian Bale is definitely the best Bruce Wayne out of the bunch and Heath Ledger’s performance was absolutely amazing.

FYI to movie goers…We purchased two tickets online for the 9:45 showing Friday night at Rave Motion Pictures. We walked a mile to the place due to Taste of Kalamazoo filling up all of the ramps, only to find out that “no tickets can be found for this card”. The guy at the desk asked us if we printed and brought our confirmation page, and since we didn’t (and all of the showings that night were sold out), we were SOL. I’ve already emailed management to complain, but thought I would share this disappointing turn of events with everyone. Boo to Rave Motion pictures, bad form.

That’s why you always have to print out your confirmation pages-for anything and everything.

The evolution of World PvP rewards

Filed under: Items, Analysis / Opinion, Odds and ends, Blizzard, PvP, Expansions, Wrath of the Lich King

Relmstein has a good post up about how Blizzard’s world PvP has evolved over time, and what we might expect from Lake Wintergrasp, the PvP zone in Wrath of the Lich King. When world PvP began, it was very much an ad-hoc environment, which lead to a lot of 1v1 battles that eventually escalated when wandering guildies or alts showed up. As Relmstein says, the large majority of battles started with that stealthing noise (that used to inspire chills in the spines of those on PvP servers), and ended with an all-out brawl with no rewards but to get the other guys back.

Nowadays, world PvP is much more organized, in the sense that there are specific objectives and goals to go after. The original reward was a zonewide buff (in Silithus and the Plaguelands), but Blizzard eventually morphed this into something more permanent — in Auchindoin, you fight for a buff that earns you tokens for rewards, and in Halaa, you fight to get the rewards themselves.

Which leads Relmstein to suspect that Wintergrasp will have direct rewards of its own, almost equal to the gear you get from endgame dungeons and Arena PvP. He predicts that it will be token-based (not a bad idea, considering all the badge changes Blizzard has put in lately — in fact, Blizzard might even cut a corner and have Wintergrasp reward players with WotLK’s version of badges directly), and that it will be updated with each Arena season, to keep players fighting there. All good ideas — Blizzard has definitely innovated (successfully or otherwise) in the area of World PvP rewards, and we’ll look forward to Wrath to see what they come up with there.

Hey Grandma!

The three blind mice is missing a member, maybe Glenn wants to give it a shot?  Jean may look sharper than Glenn’s blinding outfit but still not good enough to lead the way.

Not So Sweet Lemons

I was never fond of the color yellow, but it does look good on some people. Take Posh Spice over here, who wore her Roland Mouret dress in July at the ESPY Awards. Then again, she looks good in almost anything she wears. Not sure about Emmy-nominated Sandra, though, who wore her lemon dress last […]

A children’s charity, NCH, has found that one in four kids get harassing emails or text messages. Nasty for those involved but perhaps a little over-blown as a threat since as far as I could find the survey doesn’t attempt to determine the severity of the emails.

If you are being bullied offline it wouldn’t be surprising if the same person sent you threatening text messages as well, but I don’t suppose it is any worse than actually being thumped. Being cyberstalked by someone whose identity you don’t know on the other hand can be scary indeed…

Arachno-video

Posted by Steve on September 30th, 2008

Every fall the garden spiders start building lots of webs around our house and fattening up before the winter. The one in this video built its web just outside our living room window.

If you’d rather not watch the crappy-looking YouTube version of this video, there’s a couple things to try.
