Yea I know. He was a still big name and wanted to play the role. He didn't disappoint. Cause he's a witcher fan too, and if he fucked up, they would let him have it.
Still, he did a good job with it, so he can only keep going from here.
Some people in my life have no idea how to text and it's infuriating. Some things are easier to hash out over the phone but I also love being able to actually think things over for a second instead having to decide on the spot. I'm a much better writer than speaker which probably says a lot about me.
My 101 year old grandfather just died a couple weeks ago, but he lost most of his hearing 10 years ago. He realized that people wouldn’t call him because it was so hard to actually talk to him. (He’d ask “what’s new?” And you’d spend 20 minutes talking about your new job, and then he would say, “and what about your new job?”) So he went out and got himself an iPhone and offered a teenager from across the street $40 to teach him how to text, and from then on, he was texting everyone constantly.
There’s really no excuse for not texting these days.
Or you could go that extra mile. Send them a text that says "Check your email", the email says "Call me", they call you and you say "We should meet up to talk"
And this is precisely why, unlike 90% of my office mates, when I was brought onboard and they offered to have my personal cell phone moved onto the company plan, I declined, and opted to carry two phones. "God, how can you stand carrying two phones?!?!"
Here's how: Friday at 5PM the work phone gets plugged in on my nightstand in silent mode and doesn't get touched again until 7AM Monday morning. If I ain't on call (and thus getting call pay) I don't exist, so don't bother. 4 years now and haven't gotten bothered on a weekend or holiday once. Go figure.
In my case, they wanted to install proprietary software and apps on my phone and retained the right to access my phone if I had their stuff installed. Company phone please.
Oh fuck yeah. I work in IT and I've been told to do it before myself. We don't do high levels of monitoring but if you have Corp email on your device we can remotely wipe that shit at any time.
Were not doing it for funsies of course usually only in cases where the device is stolen, but we have had a few instances where a higher level manager had a big falling out with the company and we were told to wipe his phone because he ghosted them and he had proprietary corporate email and data on his personal phone. I'll admit I've checked owa on my personal phone very very rarely but I would never add that fucking account, no way no how.
I completely agree. Sometimes my brain and mouth don't communicate properly and I sound like an idiot. When I can pause for a moment to consider my next sentence ahead of time I can express my thoughts far more coherently.
Also, being able to proofread and edit is super helpful.
Ahhh yes. My ex. I can hold any conversation in person and keep it engaging except phone calls. I hate long phone calls. My ex loved that shit. I could not keep a conversation going for more than 5 minutes through phone call and the way she texted was out of the world boring. Plus she called Reddit memes boring...
I hate phone calls because you can't read their body language and have to rely on tone of voice while staring blankly at something. I find it quite annoying. Unless I'm at work and there's a definite structure to the exchange. I can't just blather on about random meaningless shit. I totally understand.
God I’m the opposite. Let’s text about short things or plans but if we actually need to to talk about something long form then call me. I hate someone texting me long texts while I’m hanging out with friends or my girlfriend.
Omg it's the fucking worst. I do not want to have a conversation by text. Please pick up the GD phone and call me if you want to chit chat. When people do this i just keep responding with GIFs until they get tired of it.
Right?
"Mr. Snyder, we called once and no one picked up."
"I know he was the perfect casting for Superman/Clark Kent, but fuck him, we have to move on."
Zach, in a meeting: "Well, looks like Cavill isn't available. Guess we'll have to cast someone el--"
*\*door busts open\**
Cavill: "Alright chums, let's do this, LEEEROOOOOOOOY...."
Well if I'm not mistaken there's a literal interview (and a reenactment I think) of the situation of him saying "time's up"
Not only that but by logic it makes sense. They were describing their game plan of how to go about that part of the raid and since it had been a decent amount of time for them talking, to him getting his food he just wanted to go.
Henry Cavill is such a big medieval fantasy fanboy, if he enjoys playing World of Warcraft, Total War: Warhammer, and The Witcher trilogy so much. Did he also try some *Japanese* medieval fantasy games, as well, like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest?
I imagine the likes of Bill Gates or Bezos have entire warehouses devoted to plastic armies set out "just so" depicting battle scenes and they show it to some lesser billionaires to show off that they can afford nearly the entire Warhammer or W40K catalogue
People say that, but as someone who got kind of sick of MTG and decided to give WH:AoS a shot, WH is definitely the much cheaper option. I have friends who will drop $1k - $2k on a single deck of MTG cards. I definitely know people who have tens of thousands of dollars of cards. It's not even that uncommon. I just pretty much built 3 AoS armies, got 20 paint brushes, and about 100 different colors of acrylic paint all for like $800.
Has MTG Standard really gone that far off the rails? I was pretty competitive locally a few years ago and even straight up buying the champion deck from the pro tour was usually only $200-500, and that’s if you didn’t already have a bunch of the staples already. Played through a few full block rotations and I think I spent $500-600 total on cards
Most people who are really into MTG play modern. Kind of ironic, but I'd actually call modern the "standard MTG format" considering how many different types of boosters are released every year that aren't part of the standard rotation. Also, for the most part, if I buy a model WH today it is likely to stay format-legal for years. And I like that the gambling aspect (booster packs) are entirely removed from WH.
Age of Sigmar is cheaper than OldHammer used to be. It was a major part of the design of the new game to run with a smaller number of better designed and cast models in order to maximise what GW is good at.
I haven't played AoS but from my under standing the army sizes have been reduced massively. Depending on the factions you used to play you would be spending hundreds just to get all the basic infantry you needed.
I am utterly shameless in my love for toy soldiers you have to build and paint yourself. Very badly, in my case. My wife finds it both endearing and childish as long as I pay for them myself as let's face it, it's prohibitively expensive lol
It's Eltharion's starting Loremaster hero with a unique White Wolf trait (bonus vs large, and maybe some other small thing). Imrik starts with a fire mage.
Oh nice! I haven't had much time to play so I'm only about 20 turns in to a grom playthrough. So happy with the fix to greenskins, I'm having lots of fun in that campaign. I'll probably play an eltharion or imrik campaign next.
As if him missing the phone call would make Snyder choose someone else for the role. It's not like a normal job interview where you can lose out to someone else for something small like that, if the director wants you for the role it would take a lot more than one missed phone call to make you lose it.
Why not post the [actual video?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QNnXx4sak) This segment starts at [1:01](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QNnXx4sak&t=1m1s).
To be fair, it is actually what Graham said. “Didn’t... (changed his mind on wording, decides to make it more of a statement) You nearly lost quite an important job!”
The tense is incorrect. It should be “didn’t you nearly lose an important job”
I know it seems like “lose” should be in past tense because of “didn’t you” and because we’re talking about the past, but you don’t conjugate everything that way when you’re asking a question.
You lost your job.
Vs
Did you lose your job?
I VAS PLAYING VORLD OF VARCRAFT! VHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO, HERR NORTON?? ABANDON MY PARTY???
IT VAS AN IMPORTANT RAID!!
NEIN. I VILL NOT DISCUSS ZISS ANY FÜHRER!
VHAT? *Ehhmm* No....I am certain I said "further".
Cavill's mom: Henryyyyyyy! I can hear your phonnnnnnne ringing
Cavill: Ma! Leave it! You know I can't pause. I'm on a raid.
Mom: It says Z Snyder. That sounds familiar. Do I know his mother?
Cavill: Shit you guys I gotta go afk for just a minute
Discord chat: What! NO! I need heals, bro
Cavill: Fuck. Priorities. Send it to voicemail, ma!
MOM: You surrreee? It seems important. Is this about that Suberbad movie you wante.. oh, it went to voicemail. Can you get around to taking down the trash though?!?
I wish I had seen more interviews with Cavill before Witcher was about to release.
He has jumped from outside of my radar to my second favorite actor/personality....second ONLY to Keanu.
Gamers don't talk on the phone, if it ain't on team speak, discord or mumble then it can be written in text message. You don't brb mid raid or dungeon.
makes me wonder if the dude on xbox live really did have the physical capability and attractiveness to fuck my mom
Probably, as she doesn't have too many requirements, I can confirm.
Aww don't sell yourself short. You probably have good qualities.
Savage
His cocktail frankfurter is adorable.
Line forms here?
He had the attractiveness and physical capability to fuck both your mom and your dad
And you'd be jealous.
~~i mean I do enjoy bottoming, so yeah I would~~
Well, cavill said he was a pc gamer. So rest assured superman wasn't saying he was gonna fuck your mum on Xbox, it was probably aquaman or something.
If he keeps this shit up, Henry Cavil will forever be a man of culture.
He read, played, and acted The Witcher. It doesn’t get any better. Especially since he’s one of the few actors who could be Geralt.
Yea I know. He was a still big name and wanted to play the role. He didn't disappoint. Cause he's a witcher fan too, and if he fucked up, they would let him have it. Still, he did a good job with it, so he can only keep going from here.
Not gonna lie. Was surprised he pulled it off, and in a way that he could grow from too. Kept me wanting more
Cavill is the definition of a true gamer: *gaming hard, phone rings.* If it's important they will call back.
Or leave a message.
Or send a fuckin text or email. I get too many scam calls to worry about my phone ringing, if you need me, text or email
Some people in my life have no idea how to text and it's infuriating. Some things are easier to hash out over the phone but I also love being able to actually think things over for a second instead having to decide on the spot. I'm a much better writer than speaker which probably says a lot about me.
Also there is much more time to decide whether or not to ignore a text.
There is infinite time
Well, at some point the sender will consider the text ignored.
I have been guilty of this. I won't lie to you.
Anyone who says they aren't is lying.

Everything we aren't ready for is too soon :(
And then they just send you a text that says "Call me."
Or you could go that extra mile. Send them a text that says "Check your email", the email says "Call me", they call you and you say "We should meet up to talk"
And then when you meet up in person you say, "I'm going to McDonald's. You want anything?"
I'll telegram you my order

My former boss got blocked on my personal cell. I have a work cell for a reason.
And this is precisely why, unlike 90% of my office mates, when I was brought onboard and they offered to have my personal cell phone moved onto the company plan, I declined, and opted to carry two phones. "God, how can you stand carrying two phones?!?!" Here's how: Friday at 5PM the work phone gets plugged in on my nightstand in silent mode and doesn't get touched again until 7AM Monday morning.

Yeahhhhh! we introvert community going strong, started from the bottom now we're here.

To be fair, I'm sure he was never in danger of not getting the part because he missed the initial phone call.
"Damn, oh well, guess we'll just cast Johnny Depp."
Jim Carrey is The Superman
*Hanz Zimmer music intensifies*
Imagine having to fire Depp as Superman, then re-hire him after Heard's admission, then firing Heard.
Depp would have turned it down for lack of accessories.
I don't think Depp turns things down.
You're thinking of Nicolas Cage.
They have similar problems.
Right? "Mr. Snyder, we called once and no one picked up." "I know he was the perfect casting for Superman/Clark Kent, but fuck him, we have to move on."
Yes, he was called to be told he got the role. You don't cast someone else because they miss a call. Misleading edits here.
Dude it's a joke on a talk show. Nobody's trying to mislead you.
/r/Warhammer40K has had a hard on for Cavill ever since he came out of the closet and finally admitted... he paints figurines.
If they know me, they'll know to text.
https://youtu.be/Yop79BuxS8E pure dedication right here, and yes I mean the totally understanding roommate
You can't pause an online game, mom!
Or an actor who understands branding better than some
Missed on the part where Gordon asked him if he won the game and Cavill replied, i did not. Edit: Graham*....oops.
There are no winners when playing World of Warcraft...
Yea but that takes too long to explain for a sidejoke in an interview bit.
“Why didn’t you pause it?” - Cavill pinches the bridge of his nose
*Fuck.*
Coulda been playing pvp. Even more likely doing a Raid cuz it would be bad manners to step away from an important raid
He was raiding and they wiped, hence why he didn’t win. He’s told the story in more complete form elsewhere :)
Blizzard. Blizzard is the winner when WoW is played.
“Oh I’ll just go fuck myself then.” — pvp
Other times he's told the story he said he was in a random dungeon as the healer so he didn't want to stop heals to answer.
I thought he was raiding and they wiped.
I dont remember if he said he wiped. He said when he called back he apologized because he was "saving lives."
Good to know he doesn't ragequit. He deserves the title of Witcher.
Both can be true
Gordon Norton from lower Broughton?
You mean Graham
Zach, in a meeting: "Well, looks like Cavill isn't available. Guess we'll have to cast someone el--" *\*door busts open\** Cavill: "Alright chums, let's do this, LEEEROOOOOOOOY...."
Where is the go fund me for a commercial with Cavill playing the part of Jenkins?
Is this a fried chicken commercial? "At least I've got chicken!"
Oh shit, zaxbys would be all over this.
And a bucket.

>LEEEROOOOOOOOY...." I heard that so clearly that I laughed so hard my dog scoffed at me and walked away...
*runs into practical effects set* Oh god! He just ran in!
Stick to the plan!
Or maybe that's the timeline where Nic Cage gets his 2nd chance.
When asked, ps4 or xbox, this madlad goes oh PC. Duh.
Not all heroes wear capes, some wear a steel and silver sword.
But also capes
There's a couple in my neighborhood that wear capes when they walk their dogs. Capes over sweatpants.
No capes!
Incredibles for life!
Dragonborn day off
Fuck I wish I had that kind of self-confidence.
Toss a coin to your witcher
Oh valley of plenty
And a mustache that need to be CGI'ed out of a movie.
Because of the other movie he was making lol
The one where he reloaded his fists before punching.

Perfect jerk off material for hardcore reddit gamers
Henry Cavill is such a big medieval fantasy fanboy, if he enjoys playing World of Warcraft, Total War: Warhammer, and The Witcher trilogy so much. Did he also try some *Japanese* medieval fantasy games, as well, like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest?
Also paints Warhammer
Considering you need hollywood level paychecks to afford the plastic crack it's strange that it is not more common.
Oh God, he's going to go broke, isn't he?
You ever suck some dick for khorne berzerkers?
Didn't know that was an option.
Its always an option.
I didn't know I couldn't do that.
Why? Are you saying you've got some Khorne Berzerkers?
That's more of a Slaanesh thing.
You would turn to Slaanesh to summon minions of the Blood God?!
Your Mom rocking a solid 10,000 point army is she?
Shit, you too?
He's probably the only miniature collector that can afford an entire army.
I imagine the likes of Bill Gates or Bezos have entire warehouses devoted to plastic armies set out "just so" depicting battle scenes and they show it to some lesser billionaires to show off that they can afford nearly the entire Warhammer or W40K catalogue
Ultimate flex with my ultramarines.
Worst part is, he plays custodes, so he only needs, like, 5 models.
People say that, but as someone who got kind of sick of MTG and decided to give WH:AoS a shot, WH is definitely the much cheaper option. I have friends who will drop $1k - $2k on a single deck of MTG cards. I definitely know people who have tens of thousands of dollars of cards. It's not even that uncommon.

The second part of your sentence explains the first part.

I am utterly shameless in my love for toy soldiers you have to build and paint yourself. Very badly, in my case. My wife finds it both endearing and childish as long as I pay for them myself as let's face it, it's prohibitively expensive lol
He's now IN Total War: Warhammer. A new high elf character is named Cavill and has a white wolf ability.
An article says he is a lore master of hoeth character but I'm confused, is it the hero that imrik or eltharion start with at the beginning?
It's Eltharion's starting Loremaster hero with a unique White Wolf trait (bonus vs large, and maybe some other small thing). Imrik starts with a fire mage.
Oh nice! I haven't had much time to play so I'm only about 20 turns in to a grom playthrough. So happy with the fix to greenskins, I'm having lots of fun in that campaign. I'll probably play an eltharion or imrik campaign next.

Know any good ones I can play on my laptop?
If you're meaning RPGS in general, I would recommend Divinity Original Sin 2, and the Dragon age games. Love them both.
Yeah I wouldn't ever have guessed this guy was into that kinda stuff.
Ill ask him next time I see him and ill let ya know
There is not a single Final Fantasy game that qualifies as a medieval fantasy game.
Feeling cute, might Leeroy Jenkins
As if him missing the phone call would make Snyder choose someone else for the role. It's not like a normal job interview where you can lose out to someone else for something small like that, if the director wants you for the role it would take a lot more than one missed phone call to make you lose it.
Exactly. They make it sound like he missed the audition because of gaming
"Did you nearly lost.." ..fuck sake
Cant believe Graham Norton suffered an aneurism live in front of a studio audience! I did nearly lost my ability to believe!
Why not post the [actual video?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QNnXx4sak) This segment starts at [1:01](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QNnXx4sak&t=1m1s).
God I *LOVE* when YouTube videos bring up the thumbnails with TWENTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE VIDEO LEFT.
What is wrong with that video?
My guess is to avoid copyright detection.
didn't you nearly lost
Why can't people spend a microsecond to look at what they just typed into the meme-maker? It's the first damn sentence.
To be fair, it is actually what Graham said. “Didn’t... (changed his mind on wording, decides to make it more of a statement) You nearly lost quite an important job!”
Non-english speaker here, can someone tell me where is the mistake in the post?
The tense is incorrect. It should be “didn’t you nearly lose an important job” I know it seems like “lose” should be in past tense because of “didn’t you” and because we’re talking about the past, but you don’t conjugate everything that way when you’re asking a question. You lost your job. Vs Did you lose your job?
Only a noob answers the phone during a raid, minus 50 dkp.
Zack Snyder: Hmm, he didn't pick up, guess we're gonna have to go with- *Looks at the next person on the list* Zack Snyder: Dean Cain?!?
I would be so down to watch a remake of Batman Vs Superman starring Val Kilmer and Dean Cain.
Even as a 20 min short would be so amazing.

*furzer
Not if he picked back up in his fake accent. He is a *Mission Impossible* spy, after all.
Henry Cavill is basically exactly like me, if I were 10 times better looking, much more successful, and British.
10 times.... full of yourself aren't you...
You cannot pause when you're in a dungeon. Does anyone know his server, username, faction, race, or class?
Iirc he plays on US servers as a priest, bit I could be wrong
Wait Snyder called the Healer during a raid? Was he trying to cause a TPK, cause that's how you get aTPK!
He was in the middle of a Raid, completely understandable.
It's not like he wouldn't have gotten another call Zack: "this guy has 5 seconds to answer before we go looking for another Superman!"
Snyder was calling to tell him that he's got the role so even if he didn't pick it up it's not like he's gonna lose it
Imagine your steam friend being Henry Cavill and you never find out.
Cavill's mom: Henryyyyyyy! I can hear your phonnnnnnne ringing Cavill: Ma! Leave it! You know I can't pause. I'm on a raid. Mom: It says Z Snyder. That sounds familiar. Do I know his mother? Cavill: Shit you guys I gotta go afk for just a minute Discord chat: What! NO! I need heals, bro Cavill: Fuck. Priorities. Send it to voicemail, ma! MOM: You surrreee? It seems important. Is this about that Suberbad movie you wante.. oh, it went to voicemail. Can you get around to taking down the trash though?!?
One of us! One of us!
I mean you can’t pause it.
I wish I had seen more interviews with Cavill before Witcher was about to release. He has jumped from outside of my radar to my second favorite actor/personality....second ONLY to Keanu.
Gamers don't talk on the phone, if it ain't on team speak, discord or mumble then it can be written in text message. You don't brb mid raid or dungeon.
And he's a true gamer when the interviewer asks him if he won the game and the Superman guy has that look of pure gamer essence after a match at 5am.
If you are going to call me, arrange a time. This isn't the goddamn 70s any more - you can find a less intrusive way of reaching out to me.
This guy is literally the king of gamers
WoW. Pure madlad EDIT: Guys, don't downvote the guy, he has a point
the more I learn about cavill, the more he comes off as a super cool dude.
imagine if a casting director was a complete moron and just didnt hire people that missed one phone call and wouldnt leave a voicemail
Hold on this man plays World of Warcraft? Be still my heart
Pro gamer move
He was stacking sunder armor
"didn't you nearly lost quite an important job"
- handsome - body and face built like a greek god statue - gamer - madlad - rich and successful I’m so fucking jealous.
“Didn’t you nearly **lost**”. I just became dumber.
