Wrath of Lich King's Blue Eye of Sauron

I'm not sure what's more sad & nerdy.

You writing in Black Speech?

Or me knowing what you wrote?

You and me both buddy...you and me both. ;)

thirded. even know the how to pronounce it.

one ring, man. and in the darkness bind them

Translate please. No matter how huge a fan of Lord of the Rings I've never got round to learning any form of elvish (of which the black speech is a form if I remember right).

Translation:

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Yes because Diablo stole from LoTR
Yes because Starcraft stole from LoTR
Yes because.... NO clearly you're an idiot.

Basically everything in existence now has entirely too much to owe to something years or even decades older. Get over it.

It's incredibly hard for any fantasy not to steal from LotR, same way it's almost impossible for MMO's not to be like WoW.

WoW,LotR,Warhammer/40K and Star Wars are all just templates that we use in order to first create,shape and eventually morph it a completely new idea.

Want some examples? Halo is an interesting mix of Warhammer and Star Wars although I can't be bothered to go into detail.Let's just say that there's something very 40K-ish about Flood(Tyranids anyone?) and a giant ring-world that's true purpose is a super-weapon.

i know you said you cant go until detail Jakka, but it really seems like you should. As a dedicated fan of all three things you listed, I see almost no resemblance between the Flood and Tyranids besides the Gravemind, your comment about the Halos seems especially misplaced, i cant think of anything like that in relation the the tyranids. As for Star Wars that's even more of a stretch the only thing the have in common is space ships and lasers.

Warhammer stole from D&D,In fact most games are actually D&D.

Why all this hate against Blizzard and Valve lately? (With Valve I don't mean this article in particular but I have seen very negative responses) everyone supports Bungie and their mediocrity fests even when they charge up the ass for map packs for a game that refuses to cancel team kills.

Seriously Blizzard and Valve have made a lot of memorable and epic games and people hate them because there is always the tard that think criticizing popular things is cool (In my case I criticize Bungie because I really hate those guys so I’m not a hypocrite).

Also Warcraft does have some similarity with warhammer but Wow,Nah.

Then again maybe I’m making a big deal out of this maybe I should ignore fanboys because fanboys like to speak with their ass.

Warcraft = Warhammer.
Starcraft = Warhammer 40k.

And everything = D&D = Tolkien.

Blizzard is not very inventive, but they are good at what they do and they apply a good art style to it all, so whatever.

I Lol'd.

Because the 'all seeing asshole' would be too damned scary.

I agree. VIVA LA FFXI!

Ben Stein in WoW?! Yes!
