    Jimquisition: Thank God For Me: The Jimquisition Story

    Please tell me this is a parody of Indie Game: The Movie. Because I was cracking up when Phil Fish was desperately grasping for some way to over-dramatize his life in every scene. That "documentary" was awful.

    Escape to the Movies: Bourne Legacy

    I understand what Bob's saying about the Bourne movies trying to be over the top in their action scenes, but realistic when it comes to the espionage and the dialogue, I just don't see what's necessarily... Wrong with that. At all. I thought moderation was a good thing? They weren't trying to be...

    Has Halo been forever ruined?

    I love how you didn't tackle anything pertaining to maps in your second comment. Halo 3 had some of the best maps I have ever seen in an fps. Granted, The Pit was overrated because it was quite honestly the ONLY map where you could spawn kill, and thus, did not even belong in the game as is...

    Can we talk about the "friend zone" and "nice guys" for a moment?

    You know, this works both ways too. I've seen girls get friend-zoned just because they're not 8/10s and the guy's too shallow to see how much she cares. But I guess that's not deception, is it? The girl's still the victim there, right? Double-standards, much? Also, you know how many times...

    Has Halo been forever ruined?

    Campaign was good. Firefight was good. Armor selection was cool. Animations and other visual design aspects were impressive. Music was great like fucking always. I'm not intentionally downing on Halo Reach as a whole, but this thread is about multiplayer and the multiplayer was more or less...

    Has Halo been forever ruined?

    How is Halo anything but the definition of balanced? Before Reach, there was no load-outs, which meant every single play you make is based off of real, hard decisions, not lol this looks like a nice spot to camp maybe I can get a whole level here. What's your idea of "balanced" exactly?

    Has Halo been forever ruined?

    Eww, using "fun" as a triggerword? That's just down-right nasty. But I do agree that the random spawns are a valid attempt to override the sniper turtling and rocket-spawn rushing that is the bane of so many social slayer games. But that's just it, it's social slayer games where this shit...

    Has Halo been forever ruined?

    Oh wow, we're still using Why So Serious memes and acting like Reach was good? 6/10, might rage again.

    Can we talk about the "friend zone" and "nice guys" for a moment?

    You're forgetting the part where the girl dates a total asshole that makes her life miserable in almost every way, insults her intelligence, and essentially uses her as a piece of meat which feels better than a hand when wrapped around his penis. But hey, that's girl logic in this day and age...

    The Big Picture: Mutants and Masses

    All I want to say about the Mass Effect thing is this: I'm not upset because the devs made a shitty ending. I'm upset because the Mass Effect series has been advertised in such a way that one could reasonably believe the dozens (hell, nearly a hundred) of choices you make per game actually have...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hunger Games

    Alright, so uh, yeah, you win. I went back and watched the review, and while I must say I am a fan of Bob's work and it is usually spot on, that review was exceedingly pretentious and roughly half of his complaints were completely illegitimate. My opinions don't usually sway because of a post...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hunger Games

    I agree with your complaints towards the review to a certain degree, and I feel like maybe Bob was really just trying to vent steam at the young adult genre after dealing with the atrocity that is the Twilight series, but I feel like some of your comparisons were a little too highbrow for, like...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hunger Games

    I really love how the biggest bullet point they neglected to take from the novel was the fact that Panem is dystopian America. Now, to be fair, they never actually come out and say that America devolved into the atrocity that is Panem in the book, but the Capitol is built in the Rockies and...

    Half-Life 3 Logo Appears on Mystery Website

    Yo, I only clicked post ONCE. Guess you can't get rid of these... Oh well.

    Half-Life 3 Logo Appears on Mystery Website

    I emailed Gaben. He said he had nothing to do with this.
