Yar Me Matey!

Finally something I've been saying is missing from the WoW world is going to be added, ocean combat! In the 6.2 version of the PTR you are now able to add shipyards to your garrison allowing your followers to do new sea missions. OK so we don't get to sail the boat around or anything but it's better than nothing. The shipyard is also supposed to unlock a new zone, The Invasion of Tanaan Jungle. That's supposed to give us "open-world questing" with new rare monsters and treasures scattered around. It's also where the new raid, Hellfire Citadel, is going to be located. HFC is supposed to have 13 bosses. If all that's not enough we'll also be getting the conclusion to the legendary ring quest line, some tweaks to our characters classes, more achievements and a mythic difficulty for dungeons.  If you want a full list of everything that's going to be happening here's a link , to the official sites patch notes.

Do Superheroes movies hurt Hollywood?

Superheroes, hurt, Hollywood..... I don't think so. I was reading on an article about how some people actually think that superhero movies are hurting Hollywood, that's a big no. I can tell you what hurts Hollywood and it's the same thing that has hurt it from the beginning, greed. It doesn't matter what movies Hollywood wants to make as long as they are willing to put the time, and resources into it. The problem for any type of movie comes when the studio gets more interested in how fast and cheap they can put something out instead of how good the movie is. If the story sucks, the special effects suck, and the acting is a joke quickly people are going to want to stop seeing your movies. Of course the makers of those movies just claim that it's because people don't want to see those kind of movies anymore and for awhile they stop until somebody else manages to convince a studio to make one again and the cycle starts all over. The moral of the story is make a g

Pillars of Eternity First Impressions

Pillars of Eternity (PoE) has to be some of the most fun I've had in awhile. PoE screams of D&D and the old Baldur's Gate games. I haven't seen games made in this style for so long now it's nice to see what is hopefully a comeback. The character creator had a ton of options to pick from. It took me forever to make up my mind on what I wanted to play as. While a lot of games give you character options that don't actually effect the game, in PoE I've started two characters and both have had slight changes in the conversations and actions I can take.

Or you can go more old school, being able to pause and unpause as is needed giving you more control over what's going on. I can't tell you how much fun I've been having with this game so far and I can't wait to get further into it. If you like old school RP
