    Note that some of these aren't ”low budget” and some aren't ”good”. Some were already mentioned by others, hope it doesn't bother you... I could write more movies, but I feel the list is long enough for now...

    I know at least half of these! Good stuff really. Its been ages!

  2. 459. Brits Enact Exile Plan - Roman Restoration offers a Trojan allusion.

     

    If i was *absolutely* on topic this very likely is wrong. But i thought. European union covers much and more of the roman empire. And trojan allusion as in trojan horse used to in a way to lead to the end of a siege from the inside. And while saying EU "fell" is extreme. It was sorta from the inside.

  3. I found this now and took it for the lolz and giggles.

     

    With extraversion at 16, greggariousness at 52 and assertiveness at 3. Most surprising is friendliness at 5.

     

    Agreeableness at 24

    With cooperation at 7 and sympathy at 80.

    Conscientiousness at 1, with cautiousness at 74 and everything else 1 or single digit,

    Neuroticism at 30

    With self consciousness at 64 and vulnerability at 15.

    I have also 93 openness with 99 liberalism and 53 imagination. The rest starting from 70.

     

    Idk how to post the link this was fun. I always like breaking personality quizzes.

     

     

  4. I AM amazed. As soon as i get The PC fixed i'll try it out but this seems very well made. Just to make clear; you can get albeit weaker, get ur drakons and the kind earlier in The game? And get virtually any kind of creation? On a new thought, your research lab, can it be attacked at Random times. Or specific ones just to keep it dynamic só its more engaging. Its a long shot however. In any case dont sell yourself short you've done something great. Proofs skill isnt everything. Keep on.

  5. 438. Dilemming - What you get when an alien baby is forced to attack distant, psychic relatives of its foster mother.

    I am not sure how the alien baby can successfully attack any psychic being as they would see it comming. Dilema?

  6. 431. Indrawn Eidolon Ironically solipsist.

    Solipsism says something of the like of only your mind exists and such. So adherents of that view could be seen as indrawn. The irony here is on the ghost, a ghost is not real.

    412. Imaginary Solutions Savior dies for your sins over and over again.

    Is this a jab at the papal bulls which at one given point were sold to nobles as absolution of their sins pretty much fueling the rise of some protestant religions? Because theorethically the bulls would be imaginary solutions. Im sure im rambling however.

    448. Depletion Counting Canonical form of a problematic behavior

    Math is not my favorite subject but i remember hearing about canonical forms when doing matrices. Depletion could be related to radioactive decay or to resource depletion either of which can be problematic. This in 9/10 wrong since behaviour wont fit.

  7. Down on the list! Never heard of either but i'll get them asap. The reviews look promising!

    On another line; some movies such as scream and american werewolf in london are sorta made purposelly bad/good; i want those too.

  8. So after facing myself with my vcrs for "Anaconda"; "Predator 2", "Jeepers creepers(1&2)" "Jason X" amongst few other slasher horrorish films i came to realise they are quite entertaining really. Because of reasons. Still im here to collect recomendations on such films. Not necessarilly good horror films. Entertaining slashy light low budgetish kinda movies. Can have a horrible story and terrible dialogue so long as they are entertaining. I suppose thats what im looking for. Although feel free to give recomendations on outsanding ones. Im never one to shun those, just not sure why im really feeling these crappy lovable movies right now

  9. 426. Obake Opaka - Got a nice ring to it!

    While one could easilly confuse the words with yoruba or overall west african deities, after a light research i think there are none by any of the two names so my first guess is wrong. Still got a nice ring to it

  10. "No Way!" Yep thats the one. I have confirmation. I was sure it was a bad translation. *sighs in exasperation* maybe it will suit me better at this day and age. Anyway i am to point out that this is alexei tolstoi not lev tolstoi which is famous for well war and peace, anna karenina and anything strongly describing nature and country life. Part of my initial "No way!" Reaction was due to that. Anyway. Im to read it this year but i hear its a good book if a "bit" politicised. She's a fan of ray bradburry so its probably similar in some ways.

    Thanks for the help. Excuse me while i sit in a corner in shame xD

     

    EDIT: On a similar line; while i dont know a lot of russian books myself, i have some that i highly recomend. Most of all i recomend is not really a book. Its a story part of a compilation of russian folk stories by alexander afanasiev called vasilisa the beautifull, which is roughly put the russian version of cinderela. Bias appart i think vasilisa is a much better story. The whole compilations has interesting stories most you'll find familiar however. Worth a read.

    Other than that there was an epic called bylina. Say call it the russian odissey but written in a somewhat eneid style. As with folk stories it had an oral tradition so a written version may vary from another.

  11. I say this not offensivelly. But the whole list so far is very deserving i mean i get bored just by reading the names. They were all very meh and i had no feelings for them. Although konstina was particularly disapointing. I would expect someone more inspuring and crazy to face up to avadon. Plus her terms for your despicable acts of betrayal were most unsatisfying. Although the same could be said for akhari blaze. I miss old barzhal :(

  12. http://

     

    Here you have pictures of mount kilimanjaro(from an airplane because the actual tour there is a thousand dolars) which isnt a great deal until you realise its the highest mountain in africa as well as the only place that snows in africa(cept egypt once every century or so and south africa even less often).

     

    And of lake nyassa. Also from a plane. Which again pretty not impressive or worth the shot really, from up close its a better view but i dont have the pics. Only reason i took it is cause it was huuuge. Minutes passed and you still couldnt see the end. Which was surprising. Personally at least. Not the biggest lake around.

     

    Anyway i might upload some pictures of the city im in right now later. As well as of the beach much much later. Not award winning pics. Just so you can see the place.

  13. I don't know what your schedule is, but in preparation for the last book I started from book one and re-read the series.

    I will admit that it is not a quick read. But doing it over a few weeks lets you appreciate and understand all the storylines as they lead to the conclusion.

    I agree completelly. I heavilly slowed down my reading to get to fully appreciate the build-up. That and other reasons. Still taking your time about it allows you to get more a feel for it. I love the references he has on the book most of all. Once he sorta quoted marquis of pombal. Few people even know of him. Simply priceless. Could be a coincidence too. Doesnt matter.

     

     

    On another line i came to realise a lot of books recomended here are from sci fi genre. That being said, the is a book my mom said was very good and i should read. But the copy she has back in moscow is in russian and reading it felt like a slap on the face i do not know if it was a bad translation or russian simply isnt the best language to capture sci fi much like english isnt very good at capturing abstract ideas and feelings compared to direct latin languages(i read le petit prince in portuguese and english and they simply are not the same) or direct latin languages arent good at capturing nature. In any case i couldnt read it. But now years later i would like to read it. But in english i can buy the e book i figure. Here comes the hard part now. I do not know the title or the author but i think the main character was called aelita as in ahehleetah(i think). Its all i remember of it. Now if any of you know what im talking about would be helpfull. I asked my mother about it. Sadly she also cant remember the author(and none of us is in moscow. Tbh the book might not even be there anymore). She says the title is also aelita but idk if its the same title in english. Anyway. Help a brother out with this vaguer than mist information?

  14. I read something years ago saying that jann were "fallen jinn" in the same way that apes were considered to be fallen men.

     

    Sauron isn't a maya, he's a maia. Not arguing with the phrase you wrote, just think it's a worthwhile correction given how elaborate Tolkien's work on his languages was.

    APES WERE CONSIDERED FALLEN MEN!??? Sometimes history is filled with embarassing moments. I think i will go for the fallen djinn line. It clicks right.

     

    Also ya. Been a looooong time since i read the elf bible. i will however in future try not to make ortographic errors. They seem to smokescreen some clues, mostly not my intention.

  15. *picks up pace*

    On the other hand we have the girl with the dragon tattoo trilogy. I usually detest detective kind of books. And this one is rather edgy but well written. I finished the first in one day some 3 years ago,(i.e. couldnt drop the book till over). And am thinking about starting the new ones before the month enda

  16. 3. Evil Panamaya -- Sauron with a hat

    Sauron represented evil in the Lord of the Rings series (though I believe he was the evil understudy in the broader mythology of the series) and a Panama hat is a form of head wear.

     

    22. Merlin Manson -- Round Table made of metal

    Marilyn Manson is an industrial/alternative metal performer, and Merlin was a key advisor and court wizard to King Arthur and the Round Table

    3 YES! +3 You forgot to reffer on how Sauron is Maya, i guess tolkien's equivalent to angels. Although come to think of it, they are bellow Valla but Vallar themselves are not gods i think. Not by their own merit as they were created by iluvatar as so nymph form of it.

    22. YES! +3

  17. 1. Trois-Guilbert -- Maybe a sexual reference to Scot's Britain after the third crusade

    Sir Walter Scot is the author of Ivanhoe which takes place in Britain after the third crusade. Trois can be translated into three-way and in some sets of slang refers to sex involving three individuals and Brian Bois Guilbert was a Knight Templer in Ivanhoe and one of the main antagonists.

     

    9. Egyptian Goddess Expansionism -- Cause of Recent Humanitarian Crisis

    ISIS was an Egyptian Goddess and is the most common abbreviation in the US media for the organization also known as ISIL or Daesh which has of course caused a recent humanitarian crisis by creating horrible conditions in parts of Iraq and Syria causing people to choose to flee to more stable countries.

    1 YES +4 from menage a trois

    9 YES +3 By far my laziest match xD

  18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinn uses shaytan and jann as classes of djinn; this is supported by the article on Iblis as well. That article does say "ghul" is a name for vanilla djinn, but everywhere else makes it look like they are label for a specific variety, including the article on ghul itself. Looks like you're right about them fitting in somewhere though.

    Now im only further confused. Seems that jann are weak. Among the weakest. Yet i think years back the same arcticle said ghuls were. I'll have to confirm with my muslim friends but i doubt they'll be of much help.

  19. Ghuls are definitely not djinn. Janns and Sheytans fit in there somewhere though.

     

    Shaitan is the devil himself. Im not sure if there are other *like* him but he's made from the same material. Smokeless eternal fire if im not mistaken. Im not familiar on janns. But i saw ghuls on the same list. I'll have to read more on it though.
