Fookhar at The Dark Portal.
Wauw look, a diary about my World of Warcraft experiences, how utterly uninteresting. So far The Burning Crusade is pretty entertaining, Hellfire Peninsula, the first zone, wasn't very pretty, a desolate wasteland like Blasted Lands. It has some nice landmarks though, like the Blood Elf tower Falcon Watch and the Hellfire Citadel with its destroyed walls. Zangarmarsh, the zone I'm in now, is a lot cooler. A blueish swamp with hydras, flying stingray-like creatures and big wasps. I visited the big city in Outlands aswell, Shattrath, and it's probably the best looking capital in the game.
Zangarmarsh.
I also had my first instance-run in Outlands yesterday and this hilarious thing dropped:
Great movie, fantastic performances by everyone except Jennifer Connelly who disappoints in the emotion-filled scenes. Especially Leonardi DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou act incredible. DiCaprio's accent fails at some points but is believable overall, the Jamaican-like twist to his dialect is funny and makes the character a bit more interesting. The stories in the movie come together nicely, and the movie gives an interesting sight into the creation of child soldiers, the fierceless brutality of the rebel forces, and the trade of blood diamonds from Africa.
Stumbled upon an interesting article at 1UP.com, it's about TOSE, a Kyoto-based company with more than 1,000 employees. They mostly port games to other platforms, but also develop entire games for big companies such as Capcom and Konami. The interesting part is that almost no one knows about this company, they are never mentioned in the games they create, they let the developers they work for take the credit and try very hard to remain secret. Their list of clients include EA, Sega, Nintendo, Sony, Square Enix, Take-Two, THQ, Namco and of course Konami and Capcom.
