RIP Sir Christopher Lee, 1922-2015

Postby Blablob » June 11th, 2015, 5:01 am

Christopher Lee was a monument of acting charisma and talent in the film industry, and one of the largest influences to have ever graced the medium. His career spans over five decades, starting as early as 1948 and continuing up until his time of death. Some of his most famous roles include Count Dracula, Lord Summerisle from The Wicker Man, Count Dooku, and of course Saruman, among many others that I have failed to name. He passed away from heart and respiratory issues on June 7th.

This is so sad. :(
But he lived a good life, 93 is a very respectable age to live to.

May he rest in peace x

A good life?

Dude killed Nazis in WWII, and was recording metal albums when he was 90, in addition to holding the Guinness World Record for most film appearances. And that's just a small sampling of the amazing things about him: http://io9.com/22-incredible-facts-abou ... 1710917366.

Dude lived an incredible life. Rest in peace.

I have to agree. He managed to live a life of pure awesome, and he was wicked good at portraying a bad guy you loved to hate. He will be missed.

That's actually how everyone wishes to die, with satisfaction, inner peace and the feeling of having done something good and having made people happy.

Farewell, genius.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.
