There a bazillion blogs about gaming out there, but few in french.  I'll probably translate my blog entries here and shift them over to The Lys Player ( rough translation )

So it's true. A WoW movie is in the works and now Sam Raimi is onboard to direct this. Now that we know the project is in competent hands, there's 2 questions left :

 - What's gonna be the story?
 - What's the cast?

I'm actually excited about this since Raimi did a great job on the Spiderman movies and im a huge Evil Dead fan. So lets play, throw ideas and suggestions for your story and cast! Here's mine!

Story :
I go for the obvious, The Rise and Fall of Arthas, the Lich King and i'd do it Star Wars style. After all, Arthas is our Darth Vador. So yeah, basically, i'd tell the Warcraft 3 story. On one side, you have Thrall, the young warchief, getting is people to safety in Kalimdor and creating an alliance with the Tauren. On the other side, you tell the story of young prince Arthas slipping into madness and killing is father. I'd end the movie with Arthas going to northrend. The 2nd movie would be about Arthas killing is father. 3rd movie would be up for suggestion.

Cast :

My Cast would be :

Arthas

Vladimir Kulich ( 13th Warrior )























Uther the Lightbringer



Ron Pearlman ( Outlander )























Thrall


Sala Baker ( LOTR )






























Jaina Proudmoore


Scarlett Johansson ( Goddess among men, we're not worthy! )


























Medivh


Terry O'Quinn ( Lost )

I'm not even sure this thread will last long but here goes.

There's one subject the giantbomb guys will avoid, same on every "pro" podcast out there. Piracy.

It's something that's been bugging me for a while now because, I don't know about you guys, but I know LOTs of people around me with hacked psps or hacked 360s, downloading games and burning them and whatnot. Hell, on this very forum there's been mentions here and there of piracy.

I don't like it. I pay good money for my games because it's my passion. I don't drink anymore, I don't smoke anymore. All that sweet sweet cash goes directly in gaming. Then you come to work one morning, and 4,5 guys are exchanging the latest burned DDVD 360 release, sometimes when the game is not even out yet. It pisses me off. Back in the days, i would mind less because in the nintendo days, most of these games were from japan and somehow, it felt so far away i wouldn't mind much. But when i see people with burned copies of Mass Effect, my canadian heart burns with rage. Bioware works freakin hard on their titles and they don't deserve this. Nor any developper for that matter.

I've been quite hosest with that, if a web site would exist where you could turn those people in, I gladly would, and then tell em to their faces. But i don't think such a thing exist.

I know you guys will probably be touchy on this subject but still, you have opinions? Stories? you know how we, paying gamers could do something about piracy?

Note : Theres no piracy concept page, granted it's illegal, but its a gaming-related concept. Even if its against the law, it exist.

Even though the time for the " who won E3 " threads seems over now, I feel like I should post what I think about it.

Since sony's conference, I started to reflect on what was shown to us by the Big 3 and you know what?

I think there's no clear winner. I think that each company came this year with their own objectives and each of them did exactly what I thought they should.

Let's check them in order.

Microsoft


What they needed to do this year : Last year was pretty good, plus they had that FF13 sucker punch announcement which was great for them. I thought that this year, they needed to announce their plan to tap into the casual market, put up a wall of exclusive titles, announce a few surprises here and there and keep on adding stuff to the Xbox interface, which they did at every E3.

What we got : That's precicely what happened. They presented their Natal project and shows what's their angle on the casual market, We got a pretty impressive list of titles with a few good surprises L4D2 and Crackdown 2 for example, and last.fm + facebook + twitter are nice additions, I might not use them, but its free and its there.


Nintendo


What they needed to do this year : Lets be honest, last year was a goddamn train wreck. I don't play on Nintendo consoles anymore but I came out of last year's conference basically insulted. Nintendo wanted to seel their stuff to my mom and my grandma, Wth?  This year, I felt Nintendo needed to address this situation by doing 2 major things : Make sure they have games for all 3 major franchises ( Mario, Zelda, Metroid ) announced and get some grittier games shown to, at least, pretend they care about hardcore gamers while still continuing on pushing the casual market further.

What we got : Mission accomplished. We got Mario games, Zelda Games, a neat Metroid announcement. Resident Evil, Conduit and whatnot. And Nintendo can keep going selling Wii fit and the like. My girlfriend is quite excited, i guess its a good sign.


Sony


What they needed to do this year : Last year, Sony had a pretty good conference too but we were left with mostly promises. I felt this year, they needed to bring on the heat, get the PSP back on track with a clear direction,  sign some goddamn exclusives and get a plan to tap in the casual market as well.

What we got : Again, dead on the money! Sony showed an awesome lineup of games including surprising exclusives, a new psp with a whole bunch of psp games to go with it. The "wiimote" they showed looked interesting and there's potential there. Also there's one big news that flew under most people's radar : They will drop the price of PSP devkits by 80%. That may not mean much to you, but this means Sony is effin' serious about getting developpers back on the psp. Great news for everyone.


so as you can see, from my perspective, I don't feel anyone dropped the ball. They all had clear objectives and I feel that the clear winner here, its us! 2010 is gonna be a great year to be a gamer, whatever the console(s) you own.

Hi,

Since I have a strange user icon compared to most people out there, I thought i'd blog about it and tell you what it is.

This my friends, is my favorite moment in sports history.

Sweet russian justice
Sweet russian justice

Let me explain.

3/26/2006 - Montreal, Bell Center.

Theres a hockey match between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. For a couple of years now, there's a rivalry building up between these 2 teams and this event is one of the key moments in that modern rivalry.

Score is 6-2 Montreal, end of the 3rd period. The game is almost done. Then, this happens.



  


As you can see at 0:04 seconds in the video at the far right, tucker goes to hit kovalev with a clear elbow shot but nearly misses. Alexei Kovalev is the russian star of the Montreal Canadiens and is not known for being a tough guy, but he's known to take care of himself when that kind of stuff happens. And he will.

He quickly turns around to see who tried to nail him like that, took his number.

at 0:09 seconds, the puck goes back to where Kovalev is now, near the boards and he takes possession of it. Usually in hockey, the puck carrier is focused on getting a scoring chance but Kovi has something else in mind...

at 0:13, Kovalev sees his teammate Sheldon Souray at the Blue line and raises his stick, expecting a pass, Kovalev skates around him, he has something else in mind....

at 0:15, he pushed another Maple leaf player and is in direct line of sight with his target, Darcy Tucker, The man who tried to elbow him a few seconds earlier, he has gained a good amount of speed and then....

at 0:17 he jumps RIGHT IN HIS EFFIN' FACE!!!!!!

Brawl ensues. Montreal wins. I glee at that video every time i see it, even today.
