LOTR: Shadow of Mordor - Looks amazing

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

I kind of want to make this my signature, but it would look weird.

So why exactly are you not buying GTA V? I mean a female character would be new and interesting, but is it just because there are three male protagonists and two that happen to be white?

EDIT: Love your Madoka avatar by the way.

Mostly just voting with my wallet, at this point. If they don't want to include women or folks of color, I don't wanna give them my money. I don't think it'll make a difference to them, but it makes it hard (for me) to be like "yeah this is screwed up, boo on them!" while having dished out $50 or whatever to play it anyway.

Wanna make a contract?

Sad to hear since you are missing out on a great story, the strongest of which is the black playable character Franklin.

My wish would either be for cake or what Madoka chose in the end of the series.

Yeah, I spoiled myself on the plot and I guess if I want to go on a rampage I can beat people to death with a sex toy in Saints Row instead.

I would probably wish for youth and immortality because I'm vain, which means I'd be the first to get nommed or turned into a witch. :|

What's a contract? And does this boycott extend to movies as well? You've honestly peaked my interested in how far this moral stance goes.

On contract is a plot device in the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It is a wish you make in exchange for your services as a magical girl.

Sounds like lady of the evening work.

I don't really go to the movies! So.. kind of? I'm not sure how to answer that, as I'm pretty slow at getting to the theater. I think the last films I saw were Catching Fire and The Heat, which would actually be the only ones I saw in 2013. I'd say I'm more willing to give films a pass because it isn't as widespread an issue (though stuff like the Bechdel test, while flawed, exists for a reason) and spending $8 for an hour and a half of my life versus $50+ for something that can be enjoyed for 20+ hours is pretty different.

Being a magical girl is suffering. Don't do it!

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

I'm not a girl so I don't think I apply for it. Magical contracts are always double edged swords for everyone. It's why so many supernatural beings are deal makers.

Listen to him, the head of winterfell knows what he's talking about.

Sorry for derailing the thread!

I just heard about this game recently. OMG!
Although it looks like an AC ripoff, but OMG!

I can't wait to play it.

 

[Trebantes]

Especially if you were Klingon.

I guess that would mean that he'd "cling on" you.

So reading the blurb about Talion being a Ranger and describing his family being killed when Sauron and his army returned to Mordor (implicating that he lived in or near Mordor which is the biggest crock of shit in regards to livable geography Ive had the misfortune of reading. No one but the Ithilien Rangers even dare to tread near Mordors outskirts or Minas Morgul unless they are the Enemy) and being resurrected by a Spirit of Vengence and given Wraith abilities....

The creators of this game could come to me on bended knees and offer me a million dollars to play this game and Id choke them with their own money. Barbarism. Absolute lore rending barbarism.
