Indeed. In fact, to this day it still remains one of the highest-grossing films ever. I remember vividly how big of a deal Batman was when it was first released. Everybody was talking about how cool it was. Even though I've changed my position from several months back and now consider Batman...

You know, with the success of children's fantasy movies like Narnia and Harry Potter, I really wouldn't mind seeing live-action movies made of Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain books. :cool:

No option for Supergirl? To hell with this poll! ;)

Somebody has been watching Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. :cool: EDIT: Just noticed Khuxan beat me to it.

Who did you play as? Just curious.

First, allow me to give you the standard reply to "Nerf shamans": Cry more, newb. ;) There's a good chance you'll see me in AV this weekend. It is my favorite BG, and since I'm all done with finals I plan on sitting down this weekend and playing a lot of WoW. I will look for you on the...

I would pay to see a movie that was nothing but 2 hours of the centaur kicking Legolas' ass. :cool:

And yet the term Real Time Combat was used in relation to RPGs and strategy games by computer gaming magazines throughout the 1980s. The reason they're not considered RPGs is because the core gameplay is not derived from PnP Roleplaying games. Oh, and you can tell me what I would have...

I can't say that I'm especially excited about this movie. I thought that the book, while entertaining in places, was incredibly overrated. I still can't figure out how the book sold as many copies as it did, because to me it seemed to be a fairly run of the mill conspiracy theory story with a...

So once again, you're saying Square didn't coin the phrase... but they did. Now initiative means the same thing as turn-based? I'm just making sure I've got this right, because your definitions seem to be changing with each new post you make. WizarDru already explained earlier in this...

Name: Elfkicker Server: Doomhammer Race/Class: Orc Shaman (60) Guild: The Fallen Outlaws

No. It really isn't. While multiplayer functionality was a goal for the Diablo designers from the very start, it was designed to have both single-player and multiplayer modes. You seem to be implying that Diablo was created as a multiplayer game with single player added as an afterthought...

No offense, but what the hell are you talking about? Diablo is not MMORPG in any sense of the term. Let's examine what the acronym "MMORPG" stands for, shall we? Massive: MMORPG worlds are populated by a massive amount of players. As many as thousands can be online at once. Diablo has a...

No, Diablo is an RPG. The game developers have stated it, countless reviewers have placed it in the RPG genre, and that's the genre has been defined as by pretty much everybody except PnP adherents who believe that the only games that should be called RPGs are strictly turn-based...

That's not really true anymore. Sure, when CRPGs first came out they were almost exclusively turn-based (at least in combat), but over the last decade, CRPGs with real-time combat have become more and more popular while turn-based combat is getting more and more uncommon. Games like Baldur's...

Yes, and considering that most of the immature players pick night elves as their race, it worries me that my orc shaman is going to have to start dealing with a lot more jerks when Blood Elves are added to the Horde. :(

I can vouch for this method. Just be warned that shoving a bengal tiger through a hole in your wall is a little tricky.

The similarities between the two settings were more pronounced in earlier editions. Specifically, the elves were gradually leaving their lands and "going west" across the sea, while the dwarves were slowly disappearing into their mountain halls. These two elements seem to have been directly...

Great list, Old One. It makes me realize that I need to see some more of the classic war movies. Here are some of my favorites: Saving Private Ryan (1998): The Omaha Beach scene at the start of the movie is fantastic. The battle at the end isn't bad either. Band of Brothers (2001)...

In MMORPGs, the "pretty" races (usually humans and elves) always have the most players. It happened in Everquest, it happened in Dark Age of Camelot, it happened in World of Warcraft, etc.
