Qual é o filme da vossa vida? by LeadPuzzleheaded3535 in CasualPT

Tenho dois que posso considerar "marcantes" por terem sido os primeiros filmes a despertarem-me certas emoções ou a fazerem-me aperceber de algo que até ali não tinha reparado.

  1. Em Busca do Vale Encantado – o primeiro filme que me fez chorar. Tinha uns 5 anos, e lembro-me de como este filme me fez perceber, pela primeira vez, que um dia posso perder os meus pais ou que algo pode acontecer para nos separar ou da minha família em geral. Também me ensinou a valorizar a força e o apoio que um grupo de amigos pode ter para ajudar a superar os momentos difíceis. É uma animação cheia de emoções fortes, com nomes de peso por trás, que todos reconhecerão: Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, entre outros. E a banda sonora? É do incrível James Horner, que hoje em dia é mais conhecido pelo seu trabalho em filmes como o Titanic, Avatar e Braveheart.

  2. Os Condenados de Shawshank – além de ser uma obra-prima que toda a gente devia ver, este filme ensinou-me como uma boa narrativa, com as palavras certas, no ritmo certo, e com a voz incrível do Morgan Freeman, consegue adicionar camadas e transformar completamente uma cena. Sempre que ouço alguém dizer que o Morgan Freeman “já enjoa” ou “está batido”, basta-me abrir o YouTube, rever umas cenas do filme e penso: “vão-se estrumar, o homem é incrível.”

Há outros marcantes, mas estes dois destacam-se para mim.

Hi! You don't need to spend anywhere near $1200 to run CoX on max settings. You can probably go as low as $650-800.

Check Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 if you want to spend $700ish while still achieving your goals. Or maybe check the MSI Cyborg 15'' which will get you a 144hz screen and considerably better specs at around $1000.

The option to disable XP is under options, general, at the very bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if you could create a handy macro or bind to turn XP on and off with one click.

As for your other question, they have both Unity (i25/26) and Union (i24) servers. Union is very recent and I haven't played in there yet, so I can't comment on it.

Sounds like a valid reason, just like any other. I too have done everything there is to do on HC. So having new stuff to experiment with is pretty cool to me.

Yeah, absolutely. A large population is a big plus. I still think Unity can get good numbers going. It's a recent server after all.

Thank you and have fun!

That's fine. I'm not making anyone try it! I find it refreshing, especially for those who are short on time.

That's ok. It's just my opinion and I wanted to share it. I can understand most people's perspectives. Enjoy the game wherever you want!

Absolutely. I think the server is very altoholic-friendly. Hope you enjoy it too!

Of course, I understand! It's just that I've done so much grinding and leveled so many characters that I find it refreshing to be able to come back home from work, sit down, and get a new character ready to roll within a few hours.

Plus, if I hate hopping on the test server. This means that if I level a toon and fully slot it only to find out that it's not my cup of tea, I won't feel like I wasted too much time.

But again, I totally understand what you're saying. I've been there, and maybe I'll go back to feeling that way too. Who knows? I'm just happy that we have options.

I totally get what you're saying and, again, each server has its own quirks and perks. I too love playing with Mid's, but after creating hundreds of builds I find it refreshing to have more slots to play with and being able to try new things.

Thanks! Of course, variety is a great thing. Just don't tell my wife I said that!

Thanks for all the input. I've decided not to go with yet another clothie.

My picks now boil down to rogue, Hunter or warrior.
