    Yay. Here's hoping they start off strong this time.
  2. I would totally buy that.
  3. Darkfall NERDRAGE against Eurogamer.

    You really think 10% of the people would love a 1/10 game? They're usually totally unplayable.

    This game is Finnish. Which is interesting to me. I don't have a PS3 though, so I'll never know if it's good.

    Topher is also one of the main characters and sympathetically portrayed. It's much more about how they are using the technology than the technology itself. I just don't see it. Most sci-fi has elements which could be said to be anti-technology if you really want to, but sci-fi is also usually written by people who are fascinated by technology. If you don't want to be at all critical of the possibilities of technology, you just end up with a boring utopia without any credibility.
  6. Borderlands

    Dude, sentences begin with a capital letter.

    BTW, that wasn't the actual final episode. There's a 13th one, but it probably won't be aired.
  9. Movie/TV recommendations

    Hmm, but I think the way Caroline was portrayed was as a bit of a clueless environmentalist. I don't think the show is anti-science, but like a lot of sci-fi, it deals with how science can be misused.

    Wrestle, the series is pretty poor until the episodes that come after 6. Now that it's cancelled, why not see the rest?
  11. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    I think that footage was really good. Fantastic animation there.
  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    Dollhouse continues to develop. The new episode (12th) was again possibly the best yet. Also, there's an old friend in the past two episodes.
  13. Tone Matrix

    Inspired, eh?
  14. Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe

    This kind of stuff happens all the time: once you notice something you start to pay attention to it and it's suddenly it's everywhere.
  15. Darkfall NERDRAGE against Eurogamer.

    Is this who Chris modeled his squeaky nerd voice after?
  16. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    CliffyB looks like a teen cosplayer costumed as CliffyB.
  17. (IGN.com)

    They are destroying GAMING!!!!!!!!!11111111
  18. (IGN.com)

    Yeah, I don't know if anyone here likes IGN in the least. It's more of an enormous shitfest.
  19. Being unemployed is shite

    They can, and they will. These things are fucking nasty. Of course, they can't demand more from you than they actually gave you. But yeah, get advice.
  20. Risen (Gothic successor)

    Getting nerfed to a loser after the demigod you were at the end of Gothic 1? I really liked 1 and 2. 1 more, I think, though I never finished it (I was in the last dungeon I think). Great atmosphere, even though there's zero characterization and crap plot. But sometimes an immersive world is enough.
  21. BSG: Caprica

    Do you expect everything to be utterly horrible without anything to support that expectation?
  22. Shadow of the Colossus: the movie

    I think you're right, Ossk, Beneath a Steel Sky would make a nice movie. The story is very linear and basically uses cinema-like methods already. You have the sci-fi elements, buddy movie elements, a very contained story. Wouldn't be difficult.
  23. Ecstatica

    LBA2 never had the same feel to it to me. I never finished either one though. Or got very far. But damn I loved the atmosphere in 1.
