Warhammer Online:The Review
Alright, so i managed to get myself a digital pre-order literally 2 hours before it was up, but was unable to play the game until the official release on the part that it took me 18 hours to download it. Pushing that aside and not letting it get in the way of my actual gameplay i started it up (after the 3 hour patch). After my review I'll give an overview of my actual opinion of the entire game in a quick nutshell.
Short Overview
This is going to be my first impression, even though it is shared by the friends i have that play the game. I am going to look at game play, class system, questing, pvp, and leveling. I'll also be adding in a little about customer support.
This game plays in third-person overhead view so that you can see your entire character and the world around him/her. From first glance it looks very similar to WoW. It is your staple fantasy land MMO, you have your orcs and goblins (AKA Greenskins), the dark elves, and the chaos (who are pretty much twisted humans), those are the baddies. The good guys are Humans, regular elves, and dwarvess. You start off with a few skills that cater towards your certain class, when i first saw them i thought that they were only way to attack with my melee weapon until i saw the "auto-attack" which happened every 5 or 6 seconds.
Unlike most other MMO's I've seen there isnt a base set of classes that certain races of the game can train to be, instead there are roles that are filled by the classes from each race. For instance, the healers for each race are all different. The dark elves have a dual wield debuff healer, greenskins have a buffing healer, chaos have a damaging healer, humans have a tank healer, regular elves have a damaging healer, and the dwarves have a AOE/DOT/healer. So even though the role is filled, each one as a little bit extra to add on the side. This i believe is where WAR shines, its class system is dependant on filling roles but allows player to be flexible with what other attributes they want their character to have. So hoo-rah for having a well thought out original idea in a world full of copies.
Questing in this game is just like every other questing game; do this, kill that, bring me these. However, they introduce a new idea Public Quests. PQs are 3 stage events that someone can just join in. They aren't instances or queued areas, it just in the middle of the game there will be this quest that you can do over and over, best yet is you can join in and leave whenever. The looting is a bit different too, there is base loot that you can get from monsters (however infrequent) but at the end of the PQ if you helped out enough you get into a loot bag roll. Whoever gets the highest gets the best loot bag and so on and so forth until there arent any left. If you participate a lot and then you get a bigger bonus to your roll then someone who sat there AFK the entire time, and if you miss out on loot, you get a bonus for the next roll for that too! All in all public questing is what makes this game unique and a lot of fun.
Or should i say RVR? This game has its divided good/bad sides where good fights evil. There are servers where you can go anywhere and kill a player from the opposite side then there are servers where you can only do so in contested areas. That is pretty standard, however they have these RVR fights called scenarios. Scenarios are pretty similar to battlegrounds in WoW (for those that have tried them), and are pretty much objective team 1 vs team 2 games. Depending on where you are is what type of objective it is, however most i played were territory (which i ever so hate). With these scenarios however you are shunted if you are a low level character because automatically you will have your stats boosted to where they would be at if you were a higher level, however if your gear is bad then you are just a bigger chicken. Even with good intention, it is still a very skill/gear based PVP system, however it gives players a chance when fighting against someone a few levels higher then they are.
Leveling in this game is similar to most, gain enough xp you gain a level. First few its just a stat increase but later on you get specialization points. The levels in this game seem like there is alot of time inbetween them where, however just about every level is awarded with new skills for you to learn. Which is nice, but gets a little hectic on what skills you want to use most of the time(which is manageable if you look at your core masteries and choose your route early).
Customer Service(from personal experience only)
Its EA, its absolute crap. I was only able to play this game for 3 days because my password kept not working. Which would have been fine I'm human i forget, but after doing the password recovery 4 times (seperate occasions) and typing my password EXTRA slow so that i got it right, or even using a simple word so that i wouldn't accidentally mess up, i was still unable to play the game. So i attempt to contact customer support, where im confronted by a log in screen requesting my EA account. I try and fail, so i try to get my password recovered, wrong username, try to get my username recovered and they never send me an email. So i had to get a friend to look up their email for me so i could try to get this resolved.
7/10 FOR GAME ORIGINALITY, I RECOMMEND GIVING IT A WHIRL WHENEVER THEY COME OUT WITH A FREE TRIAL, HOWEVER THEY LOSE 5 FOR DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SUPPORT, SO ALL IN ALL 2/10 personally i'd recommend if you have yet to get it wait until they fix shit and put out a free trial.
Personal note:
I thought this game was impressive even with the bugs it has (it just came out so i expected bugs). However with EA being the backbone of customer service I will not be recommending this game to anyone who hasn't already gotten it.

E V E Online, the review.. its epic i tells ya!
As most should know
EVE is going on steam
This means its getting a lot more popular and a lot more people are going to be interested to know exactly what EVE truly is. So i, a super hero by night a student by day, will take on this daunting task and provide the nice dtoiders with a review of my very own!
General Intro
EVE Online is a Massively Multi player Online game (MMO) and is set in a time incredibly far in the future, or just in some other place. Something bad happen, shit hit the fan, now you are in a world full of crazy bastards. The basis of the game is that you are encased in your pod (an egg shaped entity) and control your ship/cargo/everything from it.
Pretty much you fly around in a ship and interact with the npcs/people/inanimate objects around you via the modules attached to your ship
Class System, or lack thereof
Shocking, there is no class based system. However, there is a super imposed system (as in there are paths that you are recommended to take to end up being what you want to be). Thes e imposed paths are not concrete though. You can do, and be anything you want. You can be everything if you really want, you just need to invest the time into it.
I'll separate the main groups just for clarification
Excels at extracting and reprocessing minerals found in asteroids. Boring to most, but is a very vital part in the economy of EVE. Without miners there would be no material in which the builders can build shit with.
These guys are usually either friends of miners, or miners as well. Using the minerals extracting from mining they use blueprints to make ships and modules to sell on the market
Player vs Player, self-explanatory. These guys live to fight, however PVPers in EVE fight only the worth ones, they look for people that will give them a challenge. They buy the ships made by the builders, and some even protect the miners as they mine in dangerous areas.
These guys are the same as the seaworthy ones. They will attack and kill anything. These guys hunt miners and weak ships mostly. The difference between a pirate and a griefer is a Pirate will attempt to ransom your ship (give me 15 million or I'll blow you up) whereas a griefer asks no questions and just blows you up. Seemingly the scum of the universe, these guys play an incredibly important role, they create DEMAND. Without pirates blowing up your mining barges, whats the point of making more? Without pirates attacking miners, whats the point of protecting them?
Yup, I know what you are thinking (i have mind powers too). Surprisingly enough EVE is INCREDIBLY (with caps) political. There are treaties, there are wars, there are Non-aggression agreements, there are protection rites, there's even mercenary contracts. All of this has no ingame application, there is no "mercenary contract" button. These guys are the heads of corporations, and the people who lead the alliances. EVE is by far the most social MMO i have ever seen.
Mission whores
These guys are the questers. In EVE there are NPCs called agents, these agents provide you with waypoints, warp gates, and other means of transportation to places where there are alot of NPC baddies. You are given an objective and when you complete it you are rewarded. Not all missions are attack and destroy, there are some agents that give building missions, some give mining missions, others give transport mission. Mission whores just like to whore the agent system, and are usually stinking rich.
Final words
Even though EVE may seem to have several distinct paths, you can always go down another one, or have them cross. There are no limits on what you can train, there are only prerequisites. As long as you fill those you can train anything you want and be anything you want. Some people may be a PVPer on weekends, and a miner during the week. If you want to do it, you can.
Theres no 'leveling' per se in EVE, but there are levels of skills. IE: if you have the skill 'Gunnery' you can level it up (max of level 5) by investing time into it.
That's right. Instead of experience bars and levels, EVE uses a skill point system. You set a skill up for training, lets use 'Gunnery' again, and you can do whatever you want while its training. From level 0 to 1 it may take 5 minutes, but from 1 to 2 itll take 15 minutes. Eventually from 4 to max level of 5 itll take somewhere around 4 to 5 days. First reaction is, that sucks, but it doesn't. This part is exceptionally good for casual players, you may have to pay close attention for a little bit, but if you plan on going out later that night just set an 8 hour skill and have fun as your character GETS BETTER.
Pros/Cons of Time based skilling
-casual players are not left behind
-whether you play well or not, you will be just as skilled up as someone who started at the same time as you
-its a huge change from grindwhoring games like WOW
-putting in more time does not make you skill faster
-getting something really shiny can take weeks
My opinion on it
AWESOME IDEA. Ever wanted to take a break from an MMO and decided not to because you'll fall behind. I just took a month off EVE while waiting for an important skill to train. This also filters out the noob effect. If you see someone with a good ship, they will no doubt be at least decent at using it. This means the biggest ship in the game (if broken down and sold on those gold sites, it would literally bring in around $10 000 USD) won't go to someone who can't play the game. This also makes me value the time i put into this game alot more.
My Final thoughts
EVE is definitely worth a try. However I will ask you to heed this warning; EVE can be exciting for the first month, but you will not be able to do as much as you want in that first month. I was lucky and was pirating my 2nd week of EVE (in a bad ship), you may not be the same.
My Verdict is:
9.5/10 Do the trial, and play a month afterwards (its $5 off too).
If this review was good, theres alot more i can say about EVE. I've been playing for a year and know a shitload about this game, i do not know all however. If you guys want it, I'll put up a part two explaining the security system, the pvp system, and the ship system. I will also answer questions too.
One intriguing thing i found out was, out of all of the people i know who play this game, whether it be ingame or in RL, i am the youngest at 17. Most of the youngsters get scared off by the complexity.

TF2 Weird Tutorials: Battle Medic, and i'm weird
I just randomly joined destructiod.com's server (i knew it exsisted, but i never saw it around) without realizing and screamed Battle Medic for about 10 minutes, and surprisingly i did a rather nice job of it. So with this just happening im going to make a tutorial to becoming a better battle medic.
Battle Medics are a rare breed, and are pretty awesome when used correctly. However not anyone can be a Battle Medic, and one can not always be in "Battle Medic Mode". It is best unleashed when either you are playing with a bunch of people who are relatively relaxed, or when one guy thinks you suck hard, then you bone-saw his face off.
My screen name is Unpro btw, big surprise eh?
I'm going to start off with a few rules:
1) Do not be a battle medic in a highly populated game, as much as you'd love it to work it doesn't.
2) You are more then welcome to heal, but remember if they got hurt in the first place they are probably better off dying
3) Your Bonesaw is your friend, your only friend. Hump it like a dog on a leg.
4) If you aren't having fun, then you aren't doing it right.
Run and gun
Running around with your needle gun shooting. Works if you are pro with needle gun, but not as much fun
Run and saw
My favourite type, running around with bone-saw ready. Most people does expect such a brutal attack, and seeing how the bone-saw does the most melee damage (ive heard heavy does more, but i still think bone-saw is number one) it is quite an effective strategy. Best done when using ambushing techniques, or attacking when others are reloading. Seeing how the medic is pretty quick, most classes will have trouble getting away.
Uber Goober
Getting uber, then being the "useless" medic and use it without another player. Being invincible is nice, but also makes you look stupid and harmless so the baddies don't waste ammo on you. This is when you get really far behind and take them out either as they spawn, or from behind. Surprisingly effective, and super fun.
Lastly, have a battle cry. Seeing how the destructoid server has enabled both teams to hear voice communication, make it something snappy and out of the ordinary. Don't use 'PWNed' or 'Your mother' as that is not the true spirit of Battle Medic. I personally like to say Battle Medic in a loud, but grungy voice and always after i do something that gains me points (not including assists).
An in conclusion, BATTLE MEDIC!!!
Looks like i completely forgot to mention the game.

Hey I'm new, dont kill me. Also Tabula Rasa review.. and cocks
I'm new to blogging, but have been hounding this site for a while.
HAR HAR lets laugh at the new guy!!
To get intro out of the way...
I have an Xbox 360 and a Wii, and play most of the well known hits (halo 3, Bioshock, UR MR GAY). I have no problem with Sony consoles, however I do hate the company for other reasons which i may or may not elaborate on. I actually believe that the PS2 is an amazing console with a sick ass library, and if the PS3 was cheaper I'd probably pick one up too.
Although i play alot of console games, i fancy myself a PC gamer mainly because most of the games i enjoy i play on my PC. Games such as Orange Box (as in all the games on it) EVE Online (which im slowly getting bored of), Tabula Rasa (which i think is a lot of fun), every fallout game (what can i say?).
My name is Unpro, short for Unprogrammable, which is a name i came up with back when i read too many philosophy books about the same damn topic.
I have Xbox Live, however I'm not going to post my gamer tag at the moment, because i hate getting flooded with unknown friend invites.. its just weird.
, would be my first written one, so don't be harsh.
Tabula Rasa; Third person Action shooter MMO (although it says you can go into first person-mode which is more of an over the shoulder look)
I find this game to be similar to WOW, but fun. Instead of sitting still pressing; 1,3,5,3 REPEAT. You have to run around, aim (to an extent) and shoot while trying to keep distance from enemies, or put them in a more suitable place for you to do maximum damage. It is very engaging and keeps your attention on the game rather then on cool graphics, or general chatter to keep yourself amused.
There is grinding in every MMO, you can't avoid it. It is the only thing that keeps people suscribed. However, some MMOs can give the player choice (like EVE, you really don't have to) while others force you into it for you to get anywhere (like WOW). Tabula falls close to WOW, but isnt as intensive. Most (almost all) of your experience is gained through completing missions.
A common monster may give you 200 XP, whereas a missions will give you 8000 XP. This creates a few issues, while solving some at the same time:
-makes grinding seemly pointless, when not required for a quest
-creates a very mission required world, where if theres no mission theres no game (so what happens when you are out of missions?)
-doesn't force you to grind the same monsters to get somewhere
-creates the feel for the game, and helps deliver the story
The level, attribute, and skill systems i find are very well thought out. Each level gives you just enough Attribute points and skill points to advance a little and get a bit better, but doesn't give you so much that one level makes a huge difference. This makes gaining levels not as important as finishing missions, or getting new gear. Which in my opinion makes the game a lot better.
The tier system in the game is the real divider, as of now there are 4 tiers. The first is the basic newbie, well roundedly crappy in all respects. Then when the play advances to the second tier a choice is given, which is very important. Two routes are offered, Specialist and Soldier, which pretty much decides what you will be doing. Soldiers and onward focus more on gear and weaponry, whereas Specialists and onward focus more on Powers and abilities.
A new feature, which i thought was cool, is you can clone your character and pretty much try out a different route. This solves that shitty first 5-10 levels problem that creating a second character can have, also allows for mistakes in your choices. IE: at level 5 you advance to tier two, when going to a trainer (the NPCs who upgrade your class) you are given the choice to clone yourself onto another character slot (i think theres 10). Your character can be changed to a female, and pretty much every other aspect as well. Cloning also resets your skill points, so that anything you may have thought was necessary for one class you arent stuck with when you feel like switching.
I'm going to have to cut this short, need to depart for work...
All in all i give this a 8.5/10, and strongly recommend trying it out for the 3 day trial period (which is surprisingly long)
Hope this helps anyone, for now i shall leave.
PS This is the first NCsoft game I've played, so if i mentioned new features that are just borrowed from other NCsoft games, forgive me.

It's a kind of interior collage I make in Photoshop, if I'm challenged to design space for someone. This one was about designing a new solution for a kitchen, living room and extension to a terraced town house in Belgium. The first brief required connecting kitchen with the dinning room with a large opening to the garden which remain untouched.

The United States, fearing retaliation against Americans living abroad in Yemen, issued a warning after a series of drone strikes killed four suspected al-Qaeda operatives in the country. A heightened security alert in has been issued and all Americans have been urged to leave immediately.

Published in Middle East
Keywords: Yemen, al-Qaeda, drone strikes, evacuation, terrorist alert
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A Yemeni official said four drone strikes have been carried out in the past 10 days. None of those killed were among the 25 on Yemen's most wanted list.
It's not yet known if the strikes were related to the added security alert. U.S. officials intercepted a message from al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri to operatives in Yemen telling them to "do something."
The message was sent to Nasir al-Wuhayshi, the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the terror group's Yemeni affiliate.
The State Department has urged Americans in Yemen to leave immediately. All non-emergency U.S. government personnel were also told to leave. Two U.S. military transport aircraft have since landed in Yemen to evacuate any remaining American citizens.
"In response to a request from the U.S. State Department, early this morning the U.S. Air Force transported personnel out of Sana'a, Yemen, as part of a reduction in emergency personnel," Pentagon press secretary George Little said in a statement.
"The U.S. Department of Defense continues to have personnel on the ground in Yemen to support the U.S. State Department and monitor the security situation," Little added.
The U.K. Foreign Office has likewise announced it has temporarily withdrawn all staff from the British embassy and would keep the facility shut until employees are able to return.
The United States has heightened its security stance. A worldwide travel alert has been issued and has closed a number of embassies and consulates over large areas of the Middle East and Africa this week.
The State Department said the substantial security steps reflect an "abundance of caution" over intelligence information that indicated final planning by al Qaeda in Yemen for possible terrorist attacks on Western targets to coincide with the end of Ramadan this week.

Moonraker is one of the best Bonds. The memorable Jaws is back and still killing. The lovely Dr. Goodhead comes to Bond's aid and the evil Drax will try to take over the world. Gee, I wonder what happens?
Usually considered as a low point in the series of Bond movies, MOONRAKER is
to me one of the best. There are a few minor flaws but on the whole
MOONRAKER is tremendously beautiful (I easily give it a 9 out of 10
Many people have compared MOONRAKER with Star Wars, but both movies have almost nothing in common. Almost everything in MOONRAKER was designed to create realism and believability, especially the wonderful special effects in space. Of course, the bigger-than-life dimension is present, as in every Bond movie, making MOONRAKER an excellent experience.
As usual Roger Moore is an excellent James Bond, surrounded by a very fine cast, among which the icy-cold Michael Lonsdale and two beautiful ladies, Corinne Cléry and Lois Chiles. Lewis Gilbert's direction is nice, the production design by Ken Adam is very impressive and John Barry's music is exquisite.
There are lots of breathtaking scenes in Moonraker: the precredits sequence, the death of Corinne, the boat chase in Venice, the fight with Chang, the second boat chase, and most of the final space sequence.
About flaws: a little too much humour at times, maybe a little too much technology; the space battle in the end looks artificial and the destruction of the spheres looks like a video game...
The space theme had been introduced and developed very early in Bond movies (Dr. No, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds are Forever) and it thus appears logical that one day Bond would have to go to space himself; and there he seems perfectly at home!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Moonraker is hugely divisive amongst Bond fans, loved and hated in
equal measure. I absolutely love it and proudly had the Moonraker
shuttle, laser gun (which unfortunately only fired caps) and Drax
corporation helicopter in my toy collection (oddly the shuttle has a
satellite in its' cargo bay which doesn't feature in the film, I'd have
preferred some tiny space marines. The helicopter fires missiles which
also doesn't feature in the film but that's because it's Naomi's
gunship from 'The Spy who Love Me' repainted).
Speaking of which the parallels between 'Moonraker' and 'The Spy who Loved Me' are striking but the later film takes its' themes and style to the most extreme degree imaginable. Considering it was the late 70s the special effects really stand up, especially when you think that at the time the real space shuttle had yet to fly. The end space battle and shooting down of the nerve gas filled globes are still thrilling over 30 years later as is the scene in the G-force simulator.
Brilliant Bond girl in Lois Chiles as Holly Goodhead. Anya in the last film was good but she still ended up being rescued by Bond from Jaws on the train and in the finale is tied to a chair in a sexy outfit being lustfully molested by the villain. Holly is a different kettle of fish altogether, from Bond being surprised by her in their meeting she never needs rescued once and is more than a match for him, not least that she can fly a space shuttle and he can't.
Michael Lonsdale is an excellent villain as Drax and gets most of the best lines, I'm especially fond of 'Look after Mr Bond, see that some harm comes to him'.
All told, I think this may just pip it's illustrious predecessor, the only downside being from this point there was no way they could top it in terms of sheer spectacle. 10/10
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Moonraker is the movie critics like to attack. I am not going to
disagree with them about the ludicrous plot and the descent into
To me it's obvious that Moonraker has just one purpose. To entertain its audience and give them a memorable spectacle. This movie delivers that.
There are many silly things in Moonraker but it knows it. Some of the scenes are too silly but after the appalling slide whistle sound that almost ruined a wonderful car stunt in 'The Man With the Golden Gun' I think we grew accustomed to Roger Moore movies being taken as a joke.
Even the 'serious one' For Your Eyes Only had a Margaret Thatcher impersonator talking to a parrot and Blofeld being dropped down a chimney stack.
Roger Moore and Michel Lonsdale are great in Moonraker. Drax saying to Bond "Can I press you to a cucumber sandwich" is worth the budget alone.
Moonraker was the movie I wanted to see as a child but was never taken. Instead I was taken to see For Your Eyes Only. If I were a movie critic I would have been pleased but as a kid excited by the previous 2 Bond movies I was disappointed. I wanted an epic story with a big battle at the end. Moonraker did that.
The sets and special effects were amazing, Jaws got a girlfriend, the final line by Q remains the funniest line ever uttered in a Bond Movie and above all it's memorable.
To say it jumped the shark misses the point in my opinion. It was supposed to. Every scene in the movie was played to the max with the intention of entertainment. Not all of it works of course but at least you could see they were trying.
Also I don't see how Moonraker is all that more ludicrous than You Only Live Twice (Connery trying to look Japanese!), Goldfinger or 3 out of 4 of the Brosnan movies.
Die Another Day is jumping the shark. Windsurfing a Tsunami, a Korean guy turning into a billionaire white Englishman being knighted by the Queen in 14 months, invisible car and Halle Berry trying to act! Roger Moore in a Space Shuttle looked like a trip to Walmart in comparison.
It's interesting that some of the most beloved Bond films are also some
of the worst (Thunderball, Diamonds Are Forever, For Your Eyes Only),
and some of the most reviled are among the best (On Her Majesty's
Secret Service, Moonraker, The Living Daylights).
This movie set a new high in entertainment value when it was released in 1979. It was the necessary upgrade of the franchise in the new era ushered in by Star Wars a couple of years earlier. It preserved the best of the genre (espionage intrigue, plot twists, Bond mystique, beautiful women, gadgets, humor, haunting cinematography, and mesmerizing music), but brought them out of the gloomy and cynical Cold War atmosphere and into a more futuristic and optimistic format. It kept the Bond franchise fun at a time when the standards for fun had taken a quantum leap.
Roger Moore does a nice job in his last credible portrayal of 007. Alas, his age became increasingly distracting starting with the next outing.
A lot of fun. Deserves much more credit than it is usually given.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I think that Moonraker is a lot of fun that is really underrated. Everyone gives it such a low rating. I actually sat back and enjoyed the film quite a bit. Bond travels quite a bit in this film, to some places even I have been to. Like there is one scene where is kicking some Chinese guy's ass in Venice. I have been to Venice and thought it was the best place I went to on the Europe trip. Moonraker is just trying to entertain and it succeeds. I didn't think it was as good as The spy who loved me but I still thought it was a great film. The only problem I have with it is the scene where they are in a lazer fight in space. I just found that a little silly. But other than that I was pretty happy with Moonraker. Moonraker is a fun film that I appreciate but nobody else does. I was happy to see that Jaws(Richard Kiel) returned again. I think that Moonraker is actually better than some of Sean Connery's. I am not going to give my rating out of 4, because like with Live and let die, if I give my rating out of 4 there will probably be an angry mob. I had fun with Moonraker and I think that you should see it.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This was the first Bond movie I ever saw, and it's still one of my
favorites. It's the only one that really took a few steps into science
fiction territory, and Richard Kiel as Jaws does an excellent job. Even
though I don't feel this is Roger Moore's best movie as Bond (my vote
goes to A View to a Kill), he does good nonetheless.
As a side note, the laser guns used by the Marines in the film's denouement were later featured in the Goldeneye video game. I remember them there for being fast, powerful, and with unlimited ammo.
Well, this movie has girls, gadgets, and guns; what else could you ask for in a 007 film? Watch it.
Back in the late 70s, we were fresh out of the Star Wars phase. We saw
Star Trek's first movie. We saw BattleStar Galactica. And they were all
big hits in the box office, or in the case of BSG, cult favorites. In
comes Moonraker, Taking the success of Star Wars and using it in the
Bondfranchise. The plot here is simple. There is one very rich bad guy.
And Bond must take him down, no questions asked.
We don't really know the villain's plot until the very end. We don't know why there is a space station up there until the very end. This film was loaded with extras, great costumes, set design and very good stunts. Most of the film is a collaboration of scenes involving Bond and his quirky humorous way of fighting. The acting wasn't very serious, it felt very comic bookish, but its OK, because the movie doesn't try to be serious really.
In the end, we are given the motives for the villain's actions. He doesn't say much, but he doesn't have to. The audience is given enough information, just sit back, enjoy the space battles in this, because they are superb. The CGI was fantastic, the models of the Space Shuttles were incredible, as well as the eerie Space Station that makes you think of our ISS and how prophetic this film really is! Good PopCorn film, 8/10
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I have to admit that I never became the full fledged fanatical follower
(there's some alliteration for you) of James Bond that many others are.
I saw DR. NO and FROM Russia WITH LOVE when they came out, then I
missed all the Bond films until YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. I did not see
GOLDFINGER until about 2000. I still have not seen THUNDERBALL,
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, or NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. As for Roger Moore's
films, or George Lazenby's one film, or Pierce Brosnan's, or...well I
have not seen most of them.
But I did get a chance to see MOONRAKER. The plot of the novel, about a mysterious industrialist who is working on a private project for the British people, always drew my curiosity. It reminded me of other billionaires (Howard Hughes, for instance) who did projects that the Americans got the benefits from (his underwater spy machine that helped retrieve a Russian nuclear device comes to mind). But Sir Hugo Drax is a villain, and he is first raising curiosity when "M" mentions casually to Bond that ("Horror of Horrors") Drax cheats at cards. Shades of the Tranby Croft Scandal.
Actually he is not the only Bond villain who cheats. Goldfinger always plays golf for large sums using golfing equipment that gives him an unfair advantage, and also cheats at card games. But Auric Goldfinger is not a British subject.
As it turns out in the novel Drax is actually not developing nuclear power to help Britain, but a pair of powerful nuclear weapons to unleash on London. Bond, of course, stops him.
That is not the plot here - but then movies have been known to jettison the story line of a plot and create a new one. With the success of the space shuttles, Drax project is to create an outer space station for the Earth's exploration of the solar system. In reality it is being changed for the egomaniac's plan to kill off all life on Earth, and only he and his followers will be the survivors.
Moore gave a reasonable performance as Bond (I'm sorry, I like Moore's "Simon Templar" on television, but the sturdiest Bond remains Sean Connery for me). Michael Lonsdale was threatening as Drax, but I actually found him too quiet. Give me a more inviting villain, like Gert Frobe as Goldfinger or Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No. Lois Chiles was properly beautiful and reasonably good as an actress as Holly Goodhead (after Pussy Galore my favorite Bond female name).
But my favorites were none of these three. It was Richard Kiel (repeating his villain as "Jaws") and Blanche Ravelac (repeating her role as "Dolly", Jaws girlfriend). Jaws was never in the original Bond novels (the name was invented due to the Stephen Spielberg film) nor was Dolly, but in the second film appearance the screenwriters gave Kiel a bit more for his role than threatening to use his steel teeth to kill Moore. He is forced to flee for his life, and is found barely alive by Dolly, who helps him. A sweet romance develops between the giant and the short sized woman. This was continued in MOONRAKER, but with an ironic twist.
Except for this film and Kiel's Jaws (and Ravelac's Dolly) none of the villains or villainesses in the Bond films ever switched sides. The reason here was simple. Up to the last twenty minutes of the film, Jaws is loyally helping Drax as his henchman. He and Dolly are in the space center that is supposed to protect Drax and his followers (and where Bond and Goodhead are hiding). But Drax gives a pompous speech to his followers (all of whom look "aryan" in features and proportions) about eugenics and breeding a proper race. Now Kiel rarely had dialog, but he is never shown to be stupid. As he and Ravelac listen they both become dismayed about what they hear. It's obvious that once Drax has put his plans to kill off the population of earth into effect, he will also weed out those who don't fully match his eugenics views (which includes poor tall Jaws and short Dolly). They keep looking at each other as they realize they have backed the wrong horse here. As a result, for the only time in a Bond film, a villain and his girlfriend end up allied with Bond and his girlfriend. It helps tip the balance against Drax. And in the end both pairs of "heroes" scoot out on their own space shuttles while Drax's plans literally explode.
I really ended up liking that ending. It is improved also by the end of Drax - who is forced to take one giant step for mankind.
I don't see why so many people are down on this movie. It's
entertainment. It's fun. War and Peace it ain't. You want a serious
movie with a deeper message then have a viewing of a classic like Gone
With The Wind or Citizen Kane or Wuthering Heights. You don't view Bond
films for that. They're just escapism and entertainment. Enjoy them for
that and you'll be a much happier person.
That said, Moonraker delivers on the entertainment and fun aspect. Sure, there are some contrived sequences and corny lines, but those fall into the context of the fantasy. This movie has some tightly scripted and well-drawn action sequences, some nifty special effects (for it's era), a terrific score and title theme by Shirley Bassey, and a well-paced plot. The filming locations are lush and exotic, ranging from Southern California to Venice to Rio and the Amazon rain forest and, finally, outer space.
The cast is the usual top-quality Bond ensemble. I have to say that Sir Roger Moore is my favorite James Bond actor. He brings a touch of light-hearted and subtle British humor to the role, unlike the Sean Connery incarnation, who was simply too much of the Serious Spy for me. And Lois Chiles as Holly Goodhead (there's a classic Bond name for you) is probably the most beautiful and sophisticated of the Bond girls. She scores an 11 on the 1-10 beauty scale, but also brings the added attraction of a brilliantly intelligent and accomplished woman to the role, more than the equal of James on that account, the kind of woman you could fall deeply in love with not only for her beauty but her intellect as well.
'Moonraker' might not be a classic in the world of films, but it holds it's own in the Bond film rankings.

With a simple swipe of the fingers, your phone searches for content shared by other Zap users and downloads it to your phone. You can send and receive files publicly or with PIN protection.
Droid Zap uses your smartphone's GPS and WiFi functionality to identify your location. This will require a data network to download the photos or videos.

Moto G Owners ** The ' Motorola Help' App has new features that clear cache, stop notifications, sync with your other devices, & more. Then this DROID ZAP APP manages the pics, texts, emails etc on a ZAP . I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY LOLLIPOP UPDATE, THOUGH!?
Great on phone, not on tablet This app is nice for quickly sharing pictures or short videos between mine and my wife's phones. However, it does not work on my brand new Samsung Galaxy A tablet. I'm trying to zap some of my phone pictures to the tablet, and the tablet always reports I've entered the wrong PIN, even though I have entered it exactly. And it makes no sense because it worked 4 days ago, then suddenly stopped and hasn't worked since.
Worse than useless junk Not only useless, but it is impossible to get rid of it. I've uninstalled updates, emptied the caches, deactivated notifications, etc. and within hours, it re-updates and fully re-installs. Pernicious
Can someone please help me I don't know how this app. On my phone but I haven't been able to figure out how to remove it yet
Maybe one day I'll find someone else with this app… …but until then, it's just Moto bloatware I can't get rid of. And no, disabling the app does NOT magically make it stop taking up space. It's still there, it just won't load until you re-enable it. It seems like a completely unnecessary thing for an Android phone because with NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct you can tap the phones to transfer just about anything.

Helpful (6)Declined OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Netpique (Tacoma, WA) in May 2010.
I was contacted by a recruiter with Netpique. Very pleasant, though evaded my question about if they told their sales reps to claim to be employed with the end client (not the first sales outsourcing company I've ever talked to). I then did a scheduled phone interview with the Area Sales Manager. I decided not to go any further to the one on one interview because I asked enough questions to know this is not the kind of company I want to work for. Job Duties: Netpique wants you to knock on 50-60 business doors a day and sign the businesses up on behalf of their clients. You are given a badge identifying you as working for the client (Office Depot in the Seattle area, even though you are actually an employee of Netpique... very SHADY business practice). You get a small monthly commission rated on a point system that averages out all of your sales. The points are based on how many "white collar" workers are employed with the business. Additionally there no residuals for signing up accounts (they are turned over to the client) and the base 21,400 (which is in essence hourly - if you don't work 40 hours you don't get paid for 40 hours) + commission equate to about 36K / year before taxes and your expenses (you provide your own cell phone and car, no mileage reimbursement). Summary: Another greedy company exploiting hard working people trying to earn a living.
Interview Questions
- "What do you know about our company?" 1 Answer
Reasons for Declining
This company seems greedy, shady, and the pay doesn't amount to squat. The woman interviewing me dodged specific questions as did the recruiter who originally contacted me. Vague answers on an employers part about the kind of candidates they hire is a bad sign. Additionally she refused to use the word hourly with me regarding compensation because the pay is "pro-rated". Last I knew, you're either salaried or hourly if you're a W-2 employee.

LMAO Is very amusing how this clown thinks SB's are overrated and not as important , if winning the SB isn't the main purpose then , can somebody ask him what's the point to win the Div. , qualify to the playoffs or even win the Conference championship ?
Many team fans were happy that we miss the playoffs, these include fans of the Cowboys, Skins, Eagles, 49ers, Packers, Patriots, Jets.
Funny to see fellow E-girl fans giving the OP crap:
"2 Superbowls in 5 Years. Yeah, Laugh at them."
"And guess what 9-7 > 4-12."
"This is a terrible thread. It's like a kid with no legs laughing at a kid who only has one. "
good stuff
Yeah a lot of fans of other teams seem to have this hate towards us. I'm not sure why.
I think all 12 playoff teams are happy we missed the playoffs and are too injured to do anything anyway... Nobody wants to face the "Hyde" Giants.
"Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."

Early labor can last for hours or weeks. If your contractions aren't regular and are starting and stopping, it's probably false labor. I have been having contractions for 2 1/2 weeks now... It does make active labor easier though so just be glad your body is doing what it should.

You want to sleep with him? Do it. You don't seem that concerned about the girlfriend if you're still thinking about it.
Or if you're not going to sleep with him, have some fun and ask him, "So how is ____?" In fact, it might be fun to do that either way :)
Guy viewpoint: Get over the "valuing your friendship" thing. That's not how he thinks of you. He thinks you're hot, and he wants to sleep with you. Simple as that. In fact, I'd be surprised if you're the first girl he's tried to or successfully slept with since he started dating her.
