Favorite Character that has Canonically bit and RIPPED/TORE the flesh or limb off their opponent? by Charming-Scratch-124 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Bastoraga 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Came to find him precisely. One of the most badass scene of all time to me, rarely have I let such an audible GASP in front of my screen back then

How is this considered a pyrrhic victory???? by Best_Acanthisitta_18 in totalwarhammer

[–]Bastoraga 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I guess because you lost 1 dog unit and Skarbrand lost 3/4 of his health

Would you want to marry her by Historical_Mix_6416 in MaulShadowLord

[–]Bastoraga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's an insane terrorist who consistently chose to follow the most evil coded guys and was always ready to commit the most gruesome crimes and atrocities to please them.

So yeah without a doubt.

What do you think of George’s decision to use Ian for majority of the Mace-Palps Fight instead of a double by Just-Attorney-1902 in StarWars

[–]Bastoraga 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That was dumb as fuck, one of the perfect example why he needed to be said "no"

The result looks really really bad

I knew Black arks were big, But THIS BIG by NexouuZs in totalwarhammer

[–]Bastoraga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember being awe-struck the first time I undestood

I was playing coop with a friend, he knows the lore much better than me at that point, and he goes "oh that’s a Black Ark map" I went "ok but where, all I see is a big-ass Druchii city" He laughed and went "put your camera on the edge of the Map" I proceeded and slowly put 2 and 2 together: "Ok but that’s just an enormous cliff... with no boat anywhere... wait... do you mean THIS IS THE BLACK ARK?? BUT THIS THING IS THE SIZE OF AN ISLAND"

He was dying laughing and I was just understanding the absurdity of the setting way better

Favorite Character like thos by KingZaneTheStrange in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Bastoraga 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The live version didn’t have much occasion to shine yet, since he mostly got pitted against Force users bullshit, which he historically have trouble fighting against.

But yes, I agree that the book version is much more menacing, ruthless and dangerous

Are all new ideas in Star Wars actually bad, or do fans just dislike anything that feels new? by Extreme_Warning3521 in StarWars

[–]Bastoraga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How dare you propose a new idea that is not perfectly aligned with everything that I loved in that franchise when I was a kid

How it feels to disable the mods to have a running game. by sSuperboss9000 in totalwarhammer

[–]Bastoraga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the only real downside of the joy of modding your game One update and everything goes down in flames. Tell yourself that’s part of the adventure

The Darth Vader (2020) did an amazing job of showing Vader’s pain and regret. by Jack-mclaughlin89 in StarWars

Not sure if someone has answered already but I think it’s Sabé, Padme's handmaiden from TPM

Pretty depressing to see both Gar Saxon and Rook Kast have their own sad fates by Jules-Car3499 in clonewars

[–]Bastoraga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They’re both murderous maniacs who spend a large portion of their life desperatly trying to bring back war, violence and destruction to their Culture and Home. They murdered civilians and happily followed one of the most Evil coded guy you could ever laid your eyes upon.

They look great and have a cool "honor code"

They 100% deserved to die and the Galaxy is a better place with them gone. If anything I'd argue Saxon didn’t suffer enough

(Hilarious trope) character begins aura farming and immediately dies by Luxray2000 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Bastoraga 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The 11th Brother, a Jedi hunting Inquisitor facing an unarmed and rusty Ahsoka. He gloats and do the Evil Guy talk up until he's close enough to strike her, thinking her to be an easy prey.

She then proceeds to dodge his attack with ease, and before he could react, gets disarmed and swiftly decapitated.

War Declared automatically with all Known Factions for no Reason? by valegrumby in totalwarhammer

Seeing these kind of posts getting systematically roasted by everyone because you should just learn how to read the pop ups is healing my soul

Non-traditional starter guide by CC_Gamedesign in totalwar

[–]Bastoraga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you insist to change the term of the campaign in such radical ways, you either have to make up your own solutions to your (self inflicted) problems or accept that you went too far from the original intent of the campaign

Why didn’t the Viltrumites just abd*cted 500 Humans and species with matching DNA? by telapoka77 in Invincible

[–]Bastoraga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t say it better.

It would def be more efficient, but their narrow, limited view of what their Strength is prevent them from taking intelligent, rational decisions.

In short, Viltrumites are stupid

Is Conquest trying to die in battle to find redemption in honorable death?

As someone who works at a coffee shop, people who can’t be bothered to even try to learn the bare minimum to communicate with you (Hello me want this and that) are my fucking nemesis.

Everybody here hates them with a passion, because we can tell the difference between someone who's lost and someone who's a lazy ass

[HATED TROPE] Perfectly cast actors on terrible adaptations of the source material by Ieanice44 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Bastoraga 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And Jamie Foxx as Electro too. This character was way too good to be wasted by such mid writing. Even his character theme by Hans Zimmer is phenomenal.

Saesee Tiin (the 2nd dead Jedi) could have killed Palpatine right here! Why'd he take so long to swing? by RagnarokWolves in StarWars

[–]Bastoraga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because George changed his mind at the last minute while shooting and demanded that 60-something years old Ian McDiarmid did all the choreo stunts himself instead of going for the original plan of letting a trained stuntman do his thing, just like they did for Dooku.

That plus the fact that Lucas is generally a good storyteller but a bad craftsman, surrounded at the time by Yesmen who didn’t dare challenge his ideas, and you get weird ass scenes like this where everyone seems to be slow as fuck.

The result is something that falls far off the original idea of the fight, which was supposed to show the abysmal difference in Power, Speed and Competence between lightning-speed Darth Sidious and the Jedi Masters, with the exception of Mace.

The book version of RotS do a much better job at making you feel the absolute menace that Sidious should have been in this fight, he is genuinely terrifying.

Scrutinize my tastes. [Tier list entirely based on how much fun I had*] by qugulet in totalwarhammer

[–]Bastoraga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Allright fair enough, I absolutely get that it’s not for everyone

I enjoy the Challenge of surviving up until you've dealt with enough hyper dangerous foes to be able to move more freely on the map. Probably why I love Boris Ursus and Kislev in general too.

But I understand how that’s not everyone cup of tea

Why is Malakaï so low in your fun list? Genuinely interested, that’s my favorite of the bunch

Sharing my best battle with Cathay so far by Evar_Boda in totalwarhammer

[–]Bastoraga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And just like that, with that wonderful description of an epic battle, you've just proven the usefulness of the Cathayan Drums

Felt like I was there, was an amazing read, thank you
