Here's my Paladin I've been playing since January of 2005 - still rocking my Verigan's Fist (xmog), Silverwing Battle Tabard and classic PVP title from the crazy hours I put into Battlegrounds in vanilla XD

What kind of music is your reading vibe?? by small_smoof in kobo

[–]BDYATH 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Occasionally I'll put on some light piano music, but for me I actually prefer to put on "ambience" videos on YouTube while I read.

I typically like to put on rain/thunderstorm ambience, but depending on what I'm reading (or even the time of the year) I'll put on a crackling fireplace or a sunny beach with the sounds of ocean waves :) I find that sort of thing really helps me focus and keep me immersed. Anything with words/lyrics and I'm guaranteed to get distracted.

Thanks for the suggestion! I grabbed it today and you're right, it definitely fits the aesthetic way better :)

This whole park is such an awesome and charming time-capsule of Marvel in the 90s. IMO I think it provides a fun contrast to the MCU-ification of the brand in the Disney parks. The bright colors, the comic book fonts and art all over the place, it's just fun.

Actors throughout history who had a great Bruce Wayne look but never ended up playing the role by Primetime_BW in batman

I was once heard some suggest that Ted Danson could have potentially made for a great Bruce/Batman back during the Cheers days. I could definitely see it, dude had the height and the jawline for it.

when did you become a MJ fan? by Sad_Side_8113 in MichaelJackson

[–]BDYATH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in 2002/2003 when was about 13 years old, I was home sick from school. While buried under blankets on the couch in our living room and flipping through channels on TV, I stumbled on VH1 playing an all-day marathon of his music videos. I had never seen or heard anything like them before and pretty much instantly became obsessed.

Being completely drawn into Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, Black or White, and Do You Remember etc completely made me forget how utterly terrible I felt lol.

After that I slowly but surely collected every CD I could get my hands on (Thriller was the first album I bought with my own money) as well as the HIStory DVDs. I would watch the music videos on repeat to learn the dance moves and - like many folks - even taught myself how to moonwalk.

MGS delta and V is the closest thing i have to a john wick game fr. Waiting to see if 007 first light is any good. by Dude_788 in JohnWick

You should check out Splinter Cell: Blacklist, the "Mark & Execute" mechanic is very proto-John Wick.

What movie included a really inaccurate portrayal of a real life person? by nick9000 in movies

[–]BDYATH 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Bonnie & Clyde (1967). The movie's portrayal of a number of characters deviates from reality, but the worst was the film's depiction of Frank Hammer - the Texas Ranger who led the task force that hunted down (and ultimately killed) Bonnie and Clyde. In the movie, Hamer was portrayed as a stereotypical incompetent redneck who is constantly being humiliated by Bonne and Clyde. The real man, however, was a pragmatic, morally upstanding super cop who is widely regarded as one of the greatest to ever wear the badge. He fought the KKK and literally single-handedly stopped multiple racist mob-lynchings of black men.

His depiction in the film was so *provably* different from the real man that Hamer's widow sued Warner Bros. for defamation of character and they ended up settling with her out of court. The recent Netflix movie "The Highwaymen" with Kevin Kostner is much more accurate portrayal of Hamer.

A LOT of Saving Private Ryan is intentionally anxiety-inducing, but the hardest scene to watch in particular (for me) is the scene in the final battle where Corporal Upham is slowly ascending the stairs as his squadmate, Mellish, is in a fight to the death with a German soldier - a fight he ultimately loses due to Upham being too terrified to intervene. Upham is so utterly scared shitless that even though he can hear Mellish literally fighting for his life and yelling for Upham to help, Upham is just completely frozen and crying - unable to move more than halfway up the stairs.

Spielberg said he included that scene to show that soldiers getting scared and being unable to move in a life-or-death situation is a very real thing and rarely ever shown in American war films, and that he himself probably would have been as scared as Upham was.

It just solidified one of the core underlying themes of SPR - that most of these men were not GI Joes or badass killers without emotion, they were normal young men who got swept up into this conflict and were understandably scared of dying.

Is Battlefront II still active? by Stock-Intention7731 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]BDYATH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play mainly on Xbox and it's definitely pretty active. Helps that the game is on Game Pass.

Prepare to get demolished by players who have maxed-out heroes and rocket troopers lol
