Introduction thing...

Dreggas · 01-10-2008, 06:28 PM

Hello, Just a quick intro. Everyone calls me Dreggas thus the nickname. I don't do these well but figured I would say hi and say I joined.

I am into music, both making/playing and listening to as well as DJing. I like books especially those on ancient history, philosophy, certain poetry and less edumacational stuff like Medieval fantasy (suprised..I am sure).

I am also firmly addicted to several strains of video games most notably Guild Wars.

Nah I get it, my bad for being quick on the trigger and not realising there was more to the bio that was needed.

Dreggas · 01-10-2008, 09:10 PM

ello, ello.

Delkaetre · 01-11-2008, 04:06 AM

Ahh, you like Weiss and Hickman? I'm assuming, then, that you must have read their Dragonlance series- Raistlin is my idol!
That's a pleasingly diverse music list which matches oddly well with my own... hopefully I'll find out a few new bands worth listening to.

Welcome to the boards!

Raistlin was my hero. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the first movie of chronicles which should be out soon. I am even stoked to hear they have Keifer Sutherland doing his voice. What should be sweet is the movie is done in classic animation as well.

As for music. Yeah I am rather diverse. At least within certain genres. A pleasure to meet ya

I get to L.A. once in a while, haven't been to Santa Barbara. Now that life 2.0 is beginning for me I am making the attempt to get out more, it's all a matter of logistics.

I am guessing your male LOL.

So far I have 'Dreggas Grazzt' in Prophecies and EOTN. I have to get my hands on Nightfall and Factions.

Is it going to be done in classic animation? Last I heard it was going to be all CGI but that was fairly early in the production process so it could have changed. I'm also a bit unhappy about their choice for Goldmoon's voice as it they seem to have decided that she should sound like the Native American version of Xena *sigh* oh well

Anyway welcome to the boards ^.^

It's classic animation and comes out this month, the 15th.

I actually thought Xena was a good choice for Goldmoon. I think if they had gone with a more native american thing the connotation of Native American = barbarian would have been pretty stereotypical.

I figured they were female characters and the names were to deflect HNG's who were of the "your fem character makes me hot I hope you are a chick too" vein.

Spot on. ^_^'

When they picked Lucy Lawless for the part I thought that she was a great choice but to have her do the voice of Xena I think is a bit of a mistake (I think Xena is a bit cold and harsh of a voice for the character and it odes not allow Ms. Lawless to showcase much of her emotional range) but I don't know the filmmaker's vision of the books so maybe it will work fantastically *hopes*

You mean when they picked Lucy Lawless to do the voice Goldmoon? LOL. Actually I think she's perfect because she did Xena, she had the voice for a strong character like goldmoon while still maintaining enough femininity so she doesn't come off sounding like some stereotypical "cave woman" either.
