Well gang, been wanting to do this one for a while now. I really enjoyed the movie and graphic novels! If you haven’t yet, go watch it (if it’s still out, idk!) or maybe the dvd will be here shortly. Or the books, which are really neat too! Been wanting the ps3 game too but haven’t gotten that one yet.
So yeah, the movie got me thinking about the wowland bosses and the reasons why we go deep into the dungeons to fight these guys. Yeah, I guess there’s gold and gear to be had… and achievements and things like that. Probably lore too… But OTHER than that, lol! Growing up on 80s video games, I feel like 90% of the plots were to rescue the princess from whatever impending doom. Whatever happened to that? And seeing that ps3 demo totally rekindled that kind of feeling. So I think we need some good old fashioned princess savin’ missions or beating up the 7 evil exes or whatnot. Can’t the Lich King toss a barrel or two? Comeon! >)
Anyways, check em out Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Movie & Books. And Game too!
Also, if you haven’t yet done so, check out my new comic What’s Shakin’!! It’s a hoot n a holler I tells ye!
This is OFFICIALLY awesome. I followed Scott Pilgrim since the first album. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO WAIT FOR EACH VOLUME!?
I’m a big fan of Bryan Lee O’Malley art too, actually I referred back to him recently because I like how he draws hair and clothes.
yikes! I couldn’t imagine! I almost like getting into series a little late so I can gluttonously read through all the backlogs… cause… you know… I will, and probably in one sitting too. XD
Yeah, I really liked his style. Very interesting!
Poor Poor Nith…I hope he has SOMETHING up his sleeve…and it isn’t on heroic mode >,>
eh, I think he’s got an extra life somewhere. >)
lol at the twins.
hehe! you know, I was this close to putting in the “weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” for Coffee! XD
actually, that was the one thing about the movie I was very disappointed with. you have twin techno junkies and they weren’t dressed up as daft punk!?! not even a mini reference either! >)
I agree that “Saving the Day” scenarios need a comeback! :>
I suppose the latest set of bosses in the game are like that, defeat the Lich King who is trying to destroy the world… but then you have all these others that have no real, or at least obvious, reason to be defeated. for all we know they could just be accountants who decided to go spelunking in a cave for their vacation until we show up in droves to defeat them.
You want the Lich King to throw… barrels? On TOP of all the other shit he does?! What are you, mad?!… Actually don’t answer that, I think I know the answer, it’s the only reason I’d like you. =P
The movie was so good, I might actually have to cave to Aza’s constant jabs to go read the graphic novels. (Don’t tell him I’m caving, I want him thinking that I won’t read the novels during his lifetime…. I guess I just want him to think that my interest in the graphic novels are a future interest, a contingent remainder subject to divestment….should he not die and stuff.)
Sorry… in Property class right now….
P.S. I love Marrowgar’s jacket!
heh >D
>) I won’t tell! but yeah, they were pretty good. some things were different than the movie, but fitting 6 novels into a 55min or so space isn’t the easiest thing to do.
ah yes, studying hard I see? lol! but yeah, I think they could do with a graphics update in ICC… toss in a few jackets and whatnot. make em all into a biker gang called The Kings of Lich. would tie them all together in one place more than they already are. heck, mario had better tie ins with the bosses than icc.
