So basically it was a memory bottleneck with scripting and events
I got the trial version and bought the game but suddenly hit a boredom wall a week later. Too clicky for my taste (it seemed fun at first but RSI started to flare up) too much info poorly communicated to the player early on (most people playing a month in still didn't know how to change roles or what they were even for).
I'm basically done with these drawn out, nothing happens series. I'd much rather something like Primeval, which had a license to do monster of the week every week and instead had long-term plots exploring what was going on. Or, the Vampire Diaries where it's a soap but people develop and again, things unravel and then new knots show up.
I thought the game all PS3 owners wanted was Final Fantasy VERSUS XIII.
I thought he was giving us Nicholas Cage realness.
Where's Natalie Morales manning a reception desk?
I wouldn't put it past her to need Elena as a spell component again later. Anyway she's already given her blood and may very well ALSO be tied to the Original family now.
Here's a scary thought: the original Ring video uploaded to YOUTUBE.
I think that The Ring is actually slightly scarier than Ringu, actually. The adaptation is pretty close to the original, but it preserves a little more mystery. The Japanese version explicitly states Sadako's mom was an ESP research subject and the series has a bit of a weird ESP mad science undertone involving telekinesis and DNA. In comparison the US version is more of a mysterious ghost story featuring a girl who might be some kind of devil child -- you just don't know.
Well Elena's going to have to worry about saving more than Elijah. Mommy original said she wanted to "UNDO HER SIN AGAINST NATURE" and I don't think she meant just killing her vampire progeny. I think she meant undoing the creation of vampires. I'll just let that soak in a bit. :)
Even though it's from the same producers! I appreciate they aren't exactly mimicking their other show, yet it's terribly boring and emo. I'd rather have the show be about the adults or something. Instead they took a show about magical teenagers and then promptly limited their magical powers and made it about romance and angst and a really glacial backstory.
You only need to make it to about episode 4 to see the show go "ok the execs aren't looking, shedding shallow Twilight veneer ... now!" By a few more you will either be hooked or you can quit watching. I will say that the first 10 or 11 is the initial arc and they have a pretty tight story they deal with. (I remember back when it first aired some entertainment reporter interviewing one of the producers said, paraphrasing, "So ______ is the story this season?" and they replied "Hah, oh no, we'll deal with that midseason break!" and the reporter boggled and said "and then what will you do?" "Something even better!")
You're correct. It's _not_ the Skyrim theme, Dragonborn, it's the folk song various bards perform acapella in-game, 'The Dragonborn Comes.' Someone figured out an arrangement and performed it on youtube and racked up a bazillion hits. The song then went on to be mashed up in many ways, for instance her audio track was layed over top of the live action commercial. It's really good, obviously the audio in this clip is a 3rd generation re-record; you should listen to the original which is linked above.
Obviously one of them is the Dovakhin!
Jeremy Soule needs to hire Malukah to do vocals on his next project.
OH, this is the guy who wrote the spirals story, about the town cursed where people mutate into snails and spacetime itself melts in a spiral pattern? (Not to be confused with the sequel to Ringu.)
Ian McKellen could completely rock that look.
I'm kind of feeling Once Upon a Time would have been better as a 13 episode series ala Tenth Kingdom. I'm already bored with it.
Steven Spielberg's name is not a plus for me anymore, it's a minus on tv and kind of a null for movies. Sorry Mr. Spielberg, too many lame projects have diluted your brand.
Sarah Canning is known well for playing Jenna Sommers on the Vampire Diaries. Thus, the reference.
