  Not being much of a gamer any more, im not really up on World of Warcraft although i am naturally aware of its existence. Heard a while back that a live action / CGI mix movie was being made of this..and heres the first trailer. Purely as an action fantasy movie, on that basis alone, i will check this out on its home release (actually looks pretty entertaining).

  Interesting. I havent been into WoW for a few years now but im interested to see this. Then again this should take place around the time (or before) of the first war when Medivh played a hand in the Orcs appearing. Tbh i dont expect you to understand all of what im on about :P But im sure youll see when the film comes out. Hopefully it stays true to the 'history' of Warcraft. Have loved Warcraft for years (i pity those who log onto WoW day after day, doing the same shit everytime). Any book readers would probably really enjoy the books too.

  Have to say i know very little about Warcraft, and thanks to South Park i here 'live to win' everytime i see a clip of the game lol. But the film actually looks fairly interesting, i like the director's previous work and the lead actor is good in Vikings. so will possibly give this a watch if i hear some good things about it closer to.

  OMG Jesslloydfan, i completely forgot about the ' Make love not Warcraft' South Park episode. A fantastic episode, good call. Yep, the info you gave went straight over my head Jose Mourinho. Thanks for some of the back story though. Im gonna approach it as a non game fan watching an action fantasy movie.

  I think i'll have to block out the urge to imagine South Park when watching this film, would prove far too distracting. Going to just take it as a separate thing entirely to the games since just reading Jose's background information on the games story just confused me lol.

  Lol. Do block out that South Park rubbish :P The people who spend tons of time on Warcraft get addicted and play for hours yea.. but they dont end up like how SP showed :P I mean some might. Personally i was never into the whole 'raiding' thing and thats what is implied in that episode of SP. They all raid and play for hour upon hour... as you probably knew already :P
  You never know, watching this film might actually make you wanna play the Warcraft games or read the books ;) Take the whole 'addicted to the game' thing away and its a pretty decent story all in all and all of it is quite an experience.

  Oh as much as i like South Park it's safe to say it probably isn't a realistic interpretation lol. I almost bought a Warcraft game once actually, but then it turned out my computer couldn't run it so had to leave it.
  I'll watch the film but won't necessarily end up getting any of the games, but you never know. I'm slightly tempted to see if anyone has dubbed 'Live to win'over the film trailer though.

  What do ypu mean the South Park interpretation wasnt an accurate one, Jose Mourinho. I can speak to experience when it comes to getting so sucked in by a computer game or games that basic things such as exercise etc...go out of the window. Gotta say i always found time to go to the lav though haha. It was computer games that led to me sitting in front of a screen for god knows how many hours a day, eating nothing but convenient rubbish and getting no exercise. The result..a shocking case of acne and more so, balooning to over 20 stone in weight. So that episode kinda struck a chord with me (how did i sort my acne, more or less stop eating shit and lose 9 stone of that weight..get rid of my games console and cut the games out altogether, well, except the occasional quiz one on my phone lol). Its easy to get addicted and sucked in by these things.

  I did type 'some might' be like that :P But im sure there are many people out there who play games for alot of time and dont 'get sucked in' like yourself and some others may have.. and end up a 20 stone, acne infested lazy git :P
  The way i see it is that South Park basically huddled everybody who plays Wow ,together, and basically shows thats all of them are like that. And also that Wow is responsible for it alone :)
  And its mainly raiders who have the potential to end up like that. Or should i say its the raiders who are addicted too much that could maybe end up like that.
  Let me be very specific. Not everybody who is addicted to Wow, turns out like that. People have choices in life :)

  That they do, Jose Mourinho. Its easy to get sucked into the habit though. Suppose everyone takes something different away from that episode. Theres those that laugh because of the predicament the guys have got themselves in and what it has done to them physically and theres those that laugh at it and themselves because its oh so relatable from personal experience. Oh, in no way is WoW personally responsible for this perception, suppose the fact that it was the target for such an episode is and how it was presented can be seen as a testament to its popularity. It is down to the individuals personal resolve to be able to moderate themselves. If your resolve isnt that strong, and you wind up like myself turning into a 20 stone fat lazy git then you only have yourself to blame if its down to computer habits (fortunatly this was in the past, now i have got my shit together, switched the computer game addiction for another..exercise..now im in the best shape of my life).
