8.25

I just watched the film Downfall. It's about WWII and more specifically the last days of Hitler's Third Reich as the Russian army closes in on Berlin.

Whether you like war films or not, this one comes very, very highly recommended. Being shown from a German perspective (and in the German language, thank god) is something we really don't get to see much of in the days of standard Hollywood action films.

This movie has left me feeling completely numb, all I can do is sit here and think. Very powerful stuff, I have to say.

A brilliant film.

I was going to take a look at Downfall the other day, but then I got sidetracked. I don't exactly remember what it was that pulled me aside, but it must've been so good that I forgot it.

Anyway, Hollywood is synonymous with mockery. Anyone with half a brain knows not to associate anything from Hollywood with real history, whether or not the questionable content is based off of, or even named after historical events or people.

Hollywood is No. Just No.

Speaking of downfalls, that about sums up the current affairs of my priest in WoW. Anybody else find the soloing curve to be particularly steep?

Jon: Exactly. it's annoying when someone is supposed to be say, Russian, and they speak with that annoyingly fact Russian accent instead...like in Enemy at the gates (I think that was it)

as for Warcraft, Raine It's very hard to solo as a class who wears cloth armor, I've found.
Warlock isn't bad because you get to summon demons to help you, but I've heard priests are a pain.

Which is why I chose a warrior as my main.

Also, what server are you on? you should play on Bloodscalp and Ryan and I can give you a hand sometimes.

Bloodscalp it is. I'll be on there every once and a while.

Don't know what I'll play as though.

maybe try a Paladin if you want to be tough, and still have some healing abilities.

Took the words out of my mouth. I'm a level 7 Paladin, named Rainez (cause some fucker took Raine).

I'm off for today, but I'll let you know next time I'm on.
