"But do not forget what we cannot forgive"

[thistlechaser]

I need more time to watch movies... I still haven't watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and now I really, really want to watch Lion King and Lion King 2 again, too.

Tonight's RP kept triggering (if that word can be used this way) Disney songs. It started with one character saying 'we are one', and the Lion King 'We Are One' song started playing in my head (which is odd, because I didn't even remember the song or how it went, but when the character said the phrase, the whole song just started playing). Following a link from there, I got to Not One Of Us. Wow, what a powerful song! I kind of remember LK2 not being so good, but if this song is any indication, I'm remembering totally wrong.

(Song starts at a minute in.) Watching that makes me miss Lion King RP (and it's been 15+ years since Lion King MUCK!). Huh, wow, looks like the MUCK is still up and running. Must resist!

Then of course we got to I Just Can't Wait To Be Lich King, and things really took off. :D

In less cheerful news (or more, depending), I can't believe that archaeology was nerfed again, and another major one. "Archaeology leveling speed was also increased, now granting 5-9 fragments per dig. The number of fragments required to solve an artifact has also been decreased slightly." I don't know why they don't just give out a Professor title to anyone who opens the profession. Old rant, I know. I try to resist, but it makes me all grrrrr. Just give me a sign that reads 'I did this when it was hard' and I'd be happy. :P

On a very related note, FFXI still haunts me (in a bad way). I went into the new Darkmoon Faire expecting it to be horrible, painful, hours upon hours of boring, hard dailies. Even with the first-day rush, I finished everything on a lowbie alt in less than an hour. Not bad at all! I wish I could get the lessons FFXI taught me out of my head. WoW is different!

...no, don't ask me to explain how I can be against archaeology nerfs after that paragraph. I don't understand my head either. Even news of the fishing nerf annoyed me, and I don't even like skilling fishing!

Hmm, strange that I have no Disney icons.

I don't care what anybody says. It's not quite as good as the original, but TLK2 was an awesome movie. Good music, likeable characters (Andy Dick's lion was a little annoying though, but I mean, it's Andy Dick)... I haven't seen it in a few years though.

Girl, I feel you, I don't have a sign or an achievement or anything that says "I was exalted with Darkmoone Faire before it was something a middle schooler with ADD could do on weekends," and it pisses me straight up OFF.

I like the new archaelogy change. =x I just leveled it on my druid because I didn't have anyone I could trust to make the Vial of the Sands for me, so I went and got it myself. So, so painful. I was already capped by the time that the patch came in, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount increase.

Actually it makes perfect sense. You did it when it was really hard and you actually had to put your nose to the grindstone to get it done. When you finally finished it you felt like you had actually accomplished something because you worked hard to get to your goal not because it was easy, but because it was hard.

Now when they nerf it, it's like slapping the memory of all the hard work you had to put in. Now all the little snowflakes can get the reward and what used to inspire "Wow, they actually did archaeology!" just brings about "Oh look, another person with a spare hour on their hands."

Something is to be said for the success they've obtained by continually lower the "You must be this awesome to enter" bar but it certainly does grate on some people that's for sure.

Oh my god. Mentioning The Lion King MUCK makes me feel old as hell. Especially since you said it's been 15+ years. Let me just crawl into this corner and weep for my long-gone, sorely missed childhood. XD

TLK2 was bad in the way that Disney sequels usually are, however their soundtrack has a few decent songs. 'Zira's Lullaby' is no 'Be Prepared', but as far as singing about murder and betrayal goes, it's pretty neat. XD I'm also rather fond of 'Not One of Us' and 'He Lives in You'. They even adapted 'He Lives in You' for the Broadway play (which also has an amazing soundtrack, of course!)

Now I want to go watch Hunchback because of 'Hellfire'. X3
