I HAVE THE POWER!!! (in terms of forum milestones)

I just realized that we have more than slightly derailed this thread...

 

I think it is fair for a piece to be 100% fictitious, 100% historically accurate or anything in between. As long as they don't try to misrepresent what they are producing.

300 is a comic book movie and it should be judged strictly as that. It never tries to be a documentary or even a remotely historically accurate film. It is a fun, over-the-top and action packed piece of entertainment.

No it wasn't. It was never intended or presented as such. It is literally a comic book movie.

 

I was unclear: I had to forget about the historic Spartan event and view this just as a movie.

 

Crossing the 6K posting line without really noticing, I did

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Effortless competence!

 

I slept, I woke, I liked some things. And now back to sleep.

 

@Bowser my friend! It's so good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well.

You're definitely missed around these parts. Are you no longer playing Warhammer? Any chance of you making a more permanent return to Lustria Online?

 

Glad to see you are still holding down the fort. I haven't played in at least a couple of general's handbooks.

I switched to bloodbowl, played lizards for a couple of games, but as I don't have time for a full season, had to switch to a team that is more immediately fun. Still haven't gotten around to buying or painting models, just used old my old lizards, and then some D&D undead minis to play as Necromantics.

 

That sounds like fun. Definitely more flexible in terms of fitting in games if you find yourself busy with life.

It's honestly great to hear from you. You should stop in more frequently, even if it is just to say a quick hello to your old Lizard brothers and sisters. I hope life is treating you well.

 

Aye, I definitely should, come to think of it the last time I played blood bowl was August or September, how the time flies! But it was great to hear from you too!

 

Those pesky plumber bros. must really be keeping you busy!

 

You know how it is, you work 80 hours a week, building all of these wonderful worlds and traps, setting the minions up just right. Finally finish the masterpiece in the 8th world, getting ready for a legendary battle to change the outcome of the kingdoms forever. As I wait with baited breath, he walks into a goomba in world 1-1. Sigh.

 

You keep at it... you'll get them eventually!!!

 

What's the worst that could happen? Sleep until a world ending event, wake up in time to save myself as the world gets rewritten with a 4 page rulebook? Seems mighty unlikely.
