    Honey, you have NO idea how quick my editing skills are. Especially when I know there are predatory quoters here ready to eternalize a hilariously unintentional confession of not being fussy.

    Oh. I had kind of forgotten about 95% of that movie.

    When he turned and walked away, I bet he was thinking 'it never goes like this in the hentai! It's all wrong!'

    Smooth operator!

    Bet you Dollars to donuts there won't be brain worms in the upcoming Star Trek 2.

    I loved the article on the Parisian Clockwork Cleaners! I don't know if a vasectomy would be extremely painful without painkillers, maybe it'll be fine? Anyway, you are free to not read any books you think are stupid. Atlas Shrugged worked for me and I look forward to reading The Fountainhead.

    Because it's a wonderful pageturner of a book?
  9. Non-video games

    I wouldn't be able to play Risk: Legacy. Tearing up cards and writing on the game board? Those are things I cannot mentally endure.

    Haha, do 'mementos' happen often?

    Now I feel all bad about my jab! I meant it in good sport, I only want to make people laugh And I do really like the updated goty.cx with your current gamses of the year!

    Fun fact: I went to see The Flintstones twice in cinema, for reasons I'm still not sure about. Sad to see the Jurassic Park print go, but it's the way of things, I guess. Did you cut out a single frame for yourself?

    Awesome! You missed Catherine, but maybe you just don't like good video games, I don't know.
  14. Resident Evil 5

    Co-op is exactly the same as the singleplayer. The singleplayer of RE5 is worse than RE4 for a couple of reasons: - You have a partner constantly behind you destroying the spooky vibe - No more hooded salesman in the game but a stupid shop system in between levels - The game isn't so much a 'coherent big world' anymore as it is a collection of levels that you are encouraged to speedrun through for records Having said that, it still is a fun and diverse zombie romp and you should have a lot of fun shooting black people.
  15. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    That's a lethal dose of cynicism there.

    George Lucas has no more bang in him. He's been doing nothing but deflating slowly since 1983.

    Subbes, I know you're drunk right now, but you also speak truth.

    Hey guys, remember The Net? 46qKHq7REI4 Floppy discs. Porn Seinfeld soundtrack. Mozart Ghost. Hilarious beeping noises when people write code. 'I am Angela Bennett!'

    My rep is going down the drain here fast. I feel like... someone's trying to steal my identity. Red Tails is George Lucas' final 'movie before I retire', but that might not mean a whole lot. It's a movie I will probably see, because why not. Spielberg and Lucas are definitely stealing ideas from each other on the same wavelength. Warhorse: it's war through the eyes of a horse! Red Tails: it's war through the eyes of Cuba Gooding Jr a fighter plane! I wish George would just retire. I wish he'd done that about twenty years ago.

    All good advice. Gwardinen, try your best to move on. This is going nowhere for the foreseeable future and it might even be better (probably) to give up on her in total. Squish any lingering hope of it ever working out between you. I know this because I did the opposite, I held out hope, and it got me nowhere for years. Talk it over with friends, deal with your emotions and then get on with your new life.
  21. Hero Academy

    I may have to stop playing this game, it's way too exciting. My excitement threshold is very low, even asynchronous strategy games one notch above Scrabble get to me. I start seeing tiles and moves in my sleep. Not good.

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was long and winding, but also interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about the story, even though I was interested all the time. David Fincher sure knows how to paint a picture though. The only thing that bugs the hell out of me is that it's set in Sweden, yet there are all these strange artifacts from the US scattered around. Salander has a few 7-Eleven bags in her house. A thermometer showed it was '2 degrees' outside while it was snowing, so it couldn't have been Celsius. Fahrenheit? Weird. The actors all speaking English is no problem, I can buy into that easily. But these seem like oversights in the mise-en-scène. But then again it's David Fincher and he doesn't that. [ADDED] I checked it out and apparently 7-Eleven is a worldwide brand, not just American. For some reason that freaks me out way more than MacDonaldses everywhere.
  23. Hero Academy

    I am Leeuwenhart and I will be the guy that you squish pathetically under your well-trained strategy boots. LET US SHARE TACTICS. From a single battle I have gleaned the following gems of strata: - Put a buffed-up knight on the shield tile in the middle of the arena. Buffed up knights are hard to get down. - This one is obvious: support your dudes. Mages are really powerful when they're backed by a healer or archer. - Armor your dudes up! - Get as much damage in on the enemy crystal. Sometimes you will want to take out a nasty enemy dude, but the crystal should be your focus. Troops will replenish, the crystal will not. Have any over-powered tactics arisen yet?

    C'mon Sub, you brought the wanking up the other day, so you're not completely shit.

    Looks really fun! I tried carving a path into a cave but before the rock vanished I ran out of stamina. Oh no!
