Heroes of the Storm – Arthas-related special dialogue

May 26, 2014 /

BY ARTHAS:
Killing Jaina: You broke your promise.
Killing Illidan: Still not good enough.
Killing Kerrigan (Starcraft): King takes queen.
Killing Muradin: This time, stay dead.
Killing Skeleton King (Diablo): There can be only one king of the dead.
Killing Uther: Where is your precious light now, Uther?
Clicked: Frostmourne yearns…
Clicked: You will all serve me.
Clicked: I rule.
Clicked: Hail to the king, baby.
Clicked: I am one cold brother.
Clicked: Darkness stopped calling. It’s alright though, we’re still friends through RealID.
Clicked: I’m afraid my condition has left me cold to your pleas of mercy.
Clicked: No man can defeat me. Although 10 – 25 might do the trick.
Clicked: If you think I’m powerful now, you should see my abilities in Heroic mode.
Clicked: I’m looking for a few dead men with the cursed mettle to be Death Knights.
Clicked: It’s LICH King not LICK King. The two are very very different jobs.
Clicked: All I want to do is settle down with a Lich Queen of my own and have some little Lichlings. Is that too much to ask?
Clicked: Ever get the feeling you’re hearing voices in your helmet?
Clicked: You would make an adequate ghoul. Mindless and proficient at repetitive tasks.
Clicked: The thing no one tells you about sitting on a Frozen Throne is how much of your flesh ends up stuck to it.

TO ARTHAS:
Killed by Illidan: Today and forever… I am your better, Arthas.
Killed by Anub’arak: Finally, I am free of you!
Killed by Jaina: By the light… find your rest, Arthas.
Killed by Kael’thas: Death looks good on you, Arthas.
Killed by Kerrigan (Starcraft): What’s up with all these bratty princes anyways?
Killed by Malfurion: Brat.
Killed by Muradin: That’s for leaving me in a cave…
Killed by Skeleton King (Diablo): I alone am the king of the damned!
Killed by Sylvanas: The endless dark awaits you, Arthas. Go, and suffer.
Killed by Thrall: Your reign is over.
Killed by Tychus (Starcraft): Nice armor… Too bad it ain’t worth squat.
Killed by Uther: Rot in hell, boy.
Killed by Varian: A king in name only.
Killed by Witch Doctor (Diablo): Be at peace, fallen king.

Does your character have tattoos or piercings?

Does your character have tattoos or piercings?

varae-ver-you-are:

exitpursuedbybears:

Ama has the facial marks/tattoos similar to what many scourge/cult members had, though death has faded them somewhat. (I think Thassarian has them too). She also has a scourge insignia rather blatantly on her right forearm and she keeps it covered. It glows- along with unholy runes on her body- when she casts specific spells. She’s tried to get rid of it but there hasn’t been much success.

Iris has multiple earrings and she swaps them around purely for vanity’s sake. She’s got a stupid amount of scars but no tattoos as of yet.

Noralla has runic glyphs and wards mainly concentrated on her arms and hands to assist in spellcasting. She also has earrings and wears a fair amount of jewelry.

Icthlarin has a ton of earrings in her ears and she’s carved a few of them herself; there’s a lot of shamanistic charms and stuff there, and she likes the aesthetic of them because they’re unusual. She’d probably have more than one nose piercing if she had a nose, but she’s a Broken so that’s sort of out. 🙁

Gideon is a forsaken and is missing a lot of skin, but he used to have a ton of tattoos while he was alive. A lot of them were placed there to cover the names of girlfriends he had (he didn’t learn the first or third time). He had an earring as well.

Due to his family being slightly sadistic, Varaelian has runic tattoos that stretch from his upper back to his hip then on the front from his shoulder his hip again. It was given to him after a sort of rite of passage when he turned a specific age and had to take over the family. He has several other smaller wards along his hands to help him heal, a gift from a friend… sort of.

No really crazy piercings to mention, just the two on his lobes and the cuff at the top. 

Vaelios is decorated with a runic pattern that stretches from the back of his neck to the backs of his feet that is otherwise invisible until active. It’s a sort of ward that protects from the shadows but also calls them when in need.

He only has one piercing and it’s just a normal ear one.

Tevruden is covered in runic tattoos that both help reanimate him and focus his power when he uses it. They usually glow dimly but will brighten as he exerts more effort. His ears are pierced but he doesn’t care enough to replace the earrings (they were lost sometime between the time he was reanimated and when he was freed from the Scourge.)

Stuff about feminism and the UCSB Shootings/ How to push for women equality

May 26, 2014 /

presidentzurga:

Lately with all my friends this is a hot discussion topic. We found it so bazaar that the reason this guy decided to do a drive by shooting to kill 7 women, lure 3 other women to his house to kill them all because he was a virgin and women wouldn’t put out for him. A lot of people have been saying that this guy was a misogynist which is by no doubt true. He wasn’t misogynistic at birth, he wasn’t born as some evil demon the question I had was “What was the point, in this persons life, where he began to hate women? And how can we learn from that, to find a way to stop men from harassing women?” 

(If you want to read more, more under the cut and its a big rant you’ve been warned.)

Like, I purposefully went and solo’d Karazhan to earn Gorehowl for my Death Knight and you can’t lie about Gorehowl’s size. It’s an important weapon that’s been in the franchise since the Second War and is known by almost everyone to be that enormous axe that Grom and Garrosh both used.

Everyone who’s played either the RTS or the MMO knows what this weapon looks like. They know it’s size and appearance and reputation and the fact that it’s historically been wielded by two eight feet tall super orcs and whatnot. So, why the fuck would you shrink it if given to a woman?

It makes no sense and is clearly just sexism and I just uggggggggghh.

instead of blaming sexism, have you ever thought about the fact that maybe, just maybe, it does that for every weapon? last time i checked it scaled it for EVERY weapon, and LOGICALLY SPEAKING, a giant fucking axe is really fucking heavy and weither you like it or not, women are not built to carry around a fucking tree trunk of an axe in one arm, minus VERY few women, orc or otherwise.

i mean really, can you imagine a gnome carrying around a correctly scaled gorehowl in game? he would use it as a vaulting pole.

also proportions.

Yooooooooooooooooo.

So, the idea that a woman is not built to handle the same level of physical exertion as a man (regardless of whether they’re orcs, humans, elves, or fucking gnomes) is incredibly cissexist and I was going to refute your other points, but that right there proved to me it wasn’t worth the effort.

Almost every weapon (and piece of armor) in WoW is absolutely insane in terms of real-world size and weight.  The only excuse I can come up for anything in that game is “a wizard did it”.  Therefore, it’s absolutely asinine to argue about a weapon’s size and saying it’s too big for someone to use.  Almost EVERY WEAPON in the game is too big/heavy for someone to use effectively in the real world.

Therefore, a female orc can use a tree trunk if she likes, because weapon sizes in that game for any gender are derp.

(Not responding to anything else.  Just got off work, and I ain’t dealing with derp arguments.)

Also, ilu lady.

A lot of the scaling in game doesn’t make any sense and is kind of inconsistent anyway- like, mounts actually GROW in size when Gnomes ride them. I’d normally like to blame designers trying to avoid clipping issues with certain things by scaling them closer to model size, but then over in the other corner we have Armageddon that actually becomes larger when equipped by female characters (at least humans).

There’s basically no rhyme or reason to it and like Lena said, everything is so ridiculously proportioned anyway that it doesn’t make sense to scale something down slightly for any sake of ~realism~ when nothing else is ~realistic~ in the first place. These women are magically-enhanced fighters, not soft-armed rich housewives that have never lifted a sword in their life.

Orc shoulders have proven that blizzard can’t scale anything correctly. Let’s move on to the next topic: What does Olver look like if he were a woman?
