Games on Master Giraffe

I will look forward to this film based purely on the film clip below, see not all board games make for bad movies.

They are hungry… For Justice!

How could there actually be a monopoly movie? I mean there is really no plot. Also Ridley Scott wants to do it. OH DEAR.

Movie will fail unless Jim Carrey is the steam iron…

Genre darling Ridley Scott is going to bring to life the famous monocle man in a film adaptation of the famous Hasbro board game Monopoly. Yes, you heard me right — they are making a movie about the board game Monopoly. Not only that, but Scott will be sourcing from his past work directing Blade Runner to give the overall film a futuristic feel. So in the future of Monopoly, will the boot fly?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott is attached to the film and plans on making his Monopoly movie have a little glimmer of tomorrow.

Ridley Scott, who has been attached as a producer on “Monopoly” and has been mentioned as a possible director, is now officially attached to helm the project, with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic “Blade Runner.”

Not only are we getting the real estate take-over movie, but Hasbro is working with Universal on a Ouija Board movie, as well as a Battleship flick. Wow, have we really fallen into an imagination depression so low that we have to find movies in crappy board games? And if so, why aren’t we reaching for the good board games? Girl Talk alone had enough sad girl-shaming moments ripe for a classic horror flick.

First official poster.

Honestly. I think Hollywood is actually conspiring to destroy my childhood completely.

So the official live action adaptation of Tekken has been in production for quite some time, with apparently fuck all media coverage since every time I bring it up, most people go “What? A tekken movie?”

In any case, I think it’s going to suck a great big bag of balls. Here’s a picture of Cung Le who confirmed recently that he’ll be portraying Law in the upcoming film. Oh dear.

Bradster.

Why? I’ll tell you why. Bradster play WoW. I’ve never played WoW, but hey, everyone has a hobby. In Bradster’s case that’s 36 hobbies. Bradster has 36 accounts on WoW.

That’s a large number. He plays against himself. That amounts to $5711 a year. What a wanker.

This is what Bradster has to say on the whole thing:

A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I’m sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We’ll see how it goes. If they don’t make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probably happen after I’ve got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. I’m also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. Of course I’ll be doing arenas too to build up PvP gear but I’m not expecting to do that great there because I’m way behind in gear right now. I need to get to level 70 first, then level 80 and by then I will probably have all green gear while most others have been doing the battlegrounds and arenas.

It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule. Not bad considering I’m looking at it like it’s a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft.

32 of my shaman are level 61. One shaman that I had before I started the 32 is at level 70 along with 8 other level 70 classes that I had. My mage, priest and druid are in the center of the circle of shaman in the pictures but they are kind of hard to see. I’ve also got some mages and priests that I’m currently working on that are level 23. Once they are at level 31.9, I will stop working on them, get 16 of them to level 60 with the recruit-a-friend bonus levels and work on the shaman again.

When Wrath of the Lich King is released, I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them. Then the shaman are on their way to level 80 along with the priest, druid and mage.

By the way, I have 9 level 80 shaman created on the Murmur PvP realm in the Wrath of the Lich King beta. I mainly tried it out to see how well my computers would work as they are. With the exception of one my desktop computers, I should be fine with the hardware that I have.

I use 3 addons in the game. CT_MapMod is used to give me locations for quests, etc. ClassIcons is another addon that I use to show the class of the target. It helps for PvP encounters. Then the last addon I use is SSPVP2 which is excellent for displaying timers and other things while in the battlegrounds.

For my keys to send to all instances of WoW on my 11 computers, I use Octopus 1.3.2. Maximizer in Octopus allows me to start up all WoW instances at the same time or any individual instance such as if a WoW instance has crashed. It also allows me to shutdown all of the computers at the same time.

… right?

Viewers under fifteen might need a towel. You have been warned.

Carlos Tevez and Anderson (Both players for Manchester United) do battle with BOARD GAMES.

Max Payne. The film adaptation of the highly successful video game series is finally here. And I’m a bit shocked, because, well, it actually looks like it’s captured the tone and atmosphere of the game. Could this video game adaptation end up… good?
