Woah!

It was announced that Sam Raimi has signed on to direct the World of Warcraft movie. While I love Sam Raimi, (an older post talks about how awesome his movie "Drag Me to Hell" was and also includes the trailer) I always pictured someone like Peter Jackson directing the movie. I suppose because he has worked with orcs before? Lol. Charles Roven, the producer of several movies including Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, will be producing this film. Considering the talent and the past successes of these guys, I have high hopes for this super geeky movie. I will definitely wait in line to see this one (and by wait in line I mean I will be going on a Sunday afternoon and go to the machine to buy my ticket instead of the actual person).

In other news, World War Z (a movie I am super excited about), is no longer on hold. The screenplay is being re-written and hopefully the project will move forward. I have high hopes for this movie and will basically watch any movie with zombies in it. I just hope that the movie does the book justice.

More Mounts

I started the Netherwing quests about 5 months ago and was like effff this! Then I decided to pick up where I left off. Of course I thought it would be a good idea to start the Skyguard quests as well, since I am super cool and/or bored. lol. Screen shots are below. Oh, and I also got new shoulders off of Iron Council, they are pretty cool looking with the skulls on the sides.

Moon

After much anticipation (and worry that the movie would not even open in Dallas), I finally got to see "Moon".

First, I must say that the imagery is fantastic and so cool! With a budget that was not huge, the scenes that take place out of the space station are done very well. The images of earth and space are also very beautiful. Of course I had a hard time enjoying the cinematography because I was a little creeped out and suspicious the whole time!
Moving onto the movie itself, Sam Rockwell did an amazing job as the astronaut Sam Bell. Sam Bell has been working alone on the Moon close to three years mining Helium 3 which has been the answer to the Earth’s energy crisis. His contract ends at the three year mark and he is anticipating returning home to his wife and young daughter. Living alone at the station, Sam Bell’s only companionship is the computer “Gerty”, played by Kevin Spacey. I have to say that I really enjoyed Gerty and I thought that Kevin Spacey did a great job. So, moving on to the creepy part….Sam Bell has been having hallucinations. The viewer is left wondering if poor Sam Bell is having hallucinations because he has been alone for 3 years or if there is another darker reason. Several revelations are discovered within the first half of the movie, so do not expect a Sixth Sense type of moment (You know, where everything is revealed at once and nothing is what it appears to be). I recommend this movie to all those science fiction junkies out there or anyone who likes a suspenseful movie. I will definitely get this one on DVD!

KOABD Downs Yogg...finally

So, finally after a few nights of actually getting to work on downing Yogg we finally got him down. It is a little annoying considering how far ahead we once were, now we down him like a month late. Ah, oh well. Of course he did not drop anything that I want, but now I have the glory =S lol. Of course it wasn't easy, some lame guy afk'ed before a pull and never came back so he was kicked out of the guild for being a douche and then we saw he was in another guild later! WTF! It is ok, we downed him like 2 pulls after he left, he was probably bad luck. haha Pictures are shown below

White Polar Bear Mount, I has

Ok, so in my super lazy progression to get all the mounts I can (eventually I hope to get the 100 mount achievement although I know it will take Blizz adding more mounts to the game because I refuse to spend real money on the trading cards) I have decided to *finally* start grinding skyguard and netherwing rep. I was super lazy during BC and instead of working toward getting those factions exalted I just flew around Nagrand and farmed stuff. I also figure that since hardly anyone is in the Outlands these days, I will probably be there with an asston of leveling DKs and it will not be so annoying. I absolutely hate doing dailies to get rep and I am sure that if the last patch did not allow me to turn in Relics for rep with the Sons of Hodir I would probably still be friendly.

I also decided to try and get the white polar bear mount, so I started doing those dailies about a week and a half ago. Last night I did the daily and low and behold....a white bear! There I am looking super cool on my white polar bear mount dancing.

In other news we are still working on Yogg in our 25 mans. I think we have not been able to down him yet because of lack of attendance, we have to keep cancelling the raids. Maybe it is because of summer? People keep going on vacations and such. But so far I think we have not really had much time to pull Yogg and get to where we can down him. (So far we have gotten to the 3rd phase and then wiped) So, that is pretty frustrating, clearing to Yogg every week and then on the raid night we are supposed to work on downing him, like 7 people don't show. It is a bummer. Hoping people show tonight, I am keeping my fingers crossed.
