The hard mode icon, when ctrl+clicked in a mission now says "This is Hard Mode!" instead of "We're in Hard Mode!"

Which is clearly awesome.

You just scored a crit on awesome.

Oh Alleji by the way, you're doing it wrong. It's "THIS...IS...[x]!!!" instead of "This is............[x]!" The way it's written now sounds like the latter, and that's not Sparta.

This thread makes me sad, but not because of the OP. It makes me sad because we've clearly got folks that are just out to rain on every parade in town, and they just aren't missing a beat.

Can we get one thread without trolls... please?

Well, back to the OP, nice touch!

In the minority, eh? I think the movie never really lasted in theaters that long anyways. (sarcasm)Clearly it was a box office smash, people hailed it to be the next best film of the year. (sarcasm) You are right though got to love those one-liners; they really know how to go down in pop-culture history.

At first my post was kind of a joke, but if that was being directed at me; please why you exclaimed me for an evil troll for saying a movie is decent. Wow I never been criticized for saying a movie was okay. I have to ask did everyone love the Titanic, or how about Pluto Nash with Eddie Murphy?

Tell you the truth the graphic novel by Frank Miller was actually a better read, then the movie itself. However I have to give it credit it was much better then the terribly bad “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” (also a graphic novel gone to film).

Clearly changing the wording of the Hard Mode ping is important, but I'm still confused as to why ArenaNet has an obsession with the colour of the Imperial Commendations. THey have had their colour changed twice now. Why do Monastery Credits get no love?

Please refrain from calling ultra crappy DnD the mother of all RPGs. Many RPGs out there take great insult by those words. Nonetheless about the reference: Ogre Slaying Knife (though it was moreover based on the famous 8bit dnd joke).

I didn't get the reference at all.

... In fact... how do folks even know it IS a reference?

It is just a short line of text that could effectively be said about anything, under many different contexts.... yet somehow this thread becomes all about some spartan film.

I don't get it... o_0;

Nobody "gets it". They just go with it. It's an internet meme.

Meh.... I prefer the classic memes. AYB will never go out of style.
Then again another one I'm rather prone to using in Alliance Battle with my Necro is the one I picked up from Gaia Online: "Enjoy your AIDS!"

After the last update, they looked exactly like Scrolls of Hero's Insight. Now I can actually tell them apart.

I was actually thinking the exact same thing as I was reading through the thread. You have your usual trolls who come by, people who didn't like the movie, people who are just trying to say something against it because they can and then just....well other people.
It is sad to think that even a small bit of humor (I did find the reference kinda nice tbh) can get so much negative responses from users of this forum. This is probably one of the only places stupid comments like some from this thread spawn, and it does get aggrevating.
