There are similaritities with the two, but Babylon 5 really needs to approached differently than BSG. It needs to be seen as a Space Opera from the start. A grand sense of scale, epic, drawn out movements involving political intrigue and war, and most importantly a LOT of character development and struggle. This means that there's a lot of speeches and over the top dialogue (and even soliloquies, sort of), so there's a lot of melodrama in the individual episodes, but taken as a whole there's little to compare it to. The first season does have a lot of pretty lousy episodes, since it was setting up the show and sticking to the Star Trek-ish different writers tackling their own stand-alone episodes routine, but it's hard to recommend skipping it because amongst that there is a lot of bits and pieces that hint to the greater story arc (which doesn't really get going until mid-way through the second season). There's an episode with Babylon 4 in the first season that looks like a stand-alone episode until it is revisited late in the third season, when it gets a completely different meaning. It was a setup that spans three seasons (the balls to do that!) that, when it comes to, is a total "holy shit" moment.

On my shuffle, I have Brahms - hungarian dances Download - Effector Massive Attack - Blue Lines Nine Inch Nails - Broken Ministry - Rio Grande Blood Nouvelle Vague Tricky - Maxinquaye Jaga Jazzist - The Stix The The - Mind Bomb and some Blondie and Massive Attack - False Flags (Unkle Surrender Sounds Session Number 2) I'm all over the place.

Metal Slug. On a shitty Motorolla. It was a most painful experience.

Killer7 had better voice overs than this. By far. And to put it in context, even those weren't all that great. This is just... Mega Man 8 intro quality.

Forget Snakes. Mother fucking James Earl Jones papas that damn Leia whore.

No, because it's only one strategy. Unless there are multiple ruses and stratagems, in which case you're still wrong!

"Reviews" from Ain't It Cool do not count for anything.

Yes, like in Alien Nation. And the alien's weak point will be their arm pits because that's where their genitals are. Or was that the knee? Or was that just Star Trek VI? I don't know. But that said, if it was written today, the Book of Revelations would be a sci-fi tale of an alien power coming down from the sky on a giant, golden spaceship saving us in our hour of need.

OH NO! They actually have to design and playtest and balance their game on their own!!

Yesterday, I played some Ridge Racer 6, Geometry Wars (I was on such a roll and then I died three times in half a minute. God damnit), and Tomb Raider Legend. TRL is OK, but one sequence pissed me the hell off. You start and you get a cinematic. Lara is running from something. Then it cuts to that something's stylized point of view as it is coming for Lara. The cinematic ends but it's not obvious that it does. Thing catches up to Lara, Lara screams, loading screen comes up. Then I realize I'm at my last checkpoint. WTF. So I go through that whole sequence in the end and I hit jump to see if I do have control. I do! Ok, so where to I go now? Maybe thi--too late. Dead. Now I have to do it again! Damned attempts at being "cinematic" -- how about trying to be a "game" first? The rest of it was OK though.

REPOST

Holy shit, Brisco County is coming out on DVD?

I said "non-jersey" brands, and even those are small. When VODAFONE spreads across the shirt bigger than any team crest or even the player's name, then you have an issue... especially when all the knobs buy up the overpriced jerseys and then parade them around town.

Unlike European football, which has team jerseys with fucking VODAFONE (amongst other completely non-jersey related brands) emblazoned on them.

Huh? Turok running around with a tomahawk is more cliche than a character named "Tommy Hawk"? That's like naming a Swedish character "Bork Meatball."

Dudes (and dudettes) Triton is the greatest thing invented since SpaceWar. It is the NEXT BIG THING. Scott Miller says as much so it must be true.

The actor is native american, so the accent you hear is authentic. Incidentally, so is the actor playing Jenny (the actor playing Grandfather is not). So he's a Native Canadian then? Grabbing it now, but like some people, I'm put off simply by the connection to 3DR, so my initial impressions, before playing it, are already soured. Though I imagine that in a situation like this, I can't get disappointed.

Yes. The FIFA World rankings are deeply flawed. I don't follow the game much beyond the world cup, but it's plainly obvious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Rankings The Elo rankings seem a lot more accurate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_football_rating

Pfft. Street Fighter sucks with that (amongst others). I'd rather have the SNES d-pad or Genesis 6-button or, hell, the Saturn pad. Where's the Saturn pad in all of this?

It's like that here, except that there are about 32 different flags being waved all over the place. Mostly on cars. See them side by side with other nations. Sometimes on the same car (saw an Argentina + Portugal mix yesterday, as well as an Italian+English). And it's fun to go down to Little Portugal to celebrate their win one day, and then go a couple blocks east to Little Italy to celebrate their win, and then a few blocks west to the Polish area to get depressed and drunk Then I talked with the local shopkeep about Korea's chances in the group now that France has tied. It's kinda fun, but likely because it isn't so oversaturated here. Especially since we suck at football, so all the multicultural aspects of this country get to cheer for their nations for a month. But when Canada is playing a major hockey tournament, everyone is Canadian. (almost)

I'm glad that Idle Thumbs isn't like that
