    Escape to the Movies: Jupiter Ascending - Tries But Fails

    I can't help but chuckle and struggle not to be snarky about the notion of Bob being excited for a movie (Jupiter Ascending) and finding the final release being a disappointment leading straight into one of his post credit statements to blatantly saying, this will be good without seeing the...

    Your Greatest Fear and a Flailing Penguin in Gotham

    The name of the kid is mentioned to be Jonathan (Crane). That?s of course the name of the eventual Scarecrow. He also seems to be in the same age range (maybe a handful of years older) as the future Batman, Catwoman and Poison Ivy, so you?re guess is correct. Solid episode and too bad these...

    I want to watch the Marvel Movies..where should I start?

    I agree with Jane being the everyday viewpoint. I just would have liked any characterisation of her, be it through humour or keeping her as a M.D. just anything. About Darcy, I'm not arguing she is an unrealistic personal, she can indeed be like that. It's just not a type, or at least this...

    I want to watch the Marvel Movies..where should I start?

    Just want to respond to your comment about the women in Thor 2. I just felt Jane Foster was a complete non-presence in the movie. I feel there is nothing to separate her from any other love interest, she just refuses to bring character. I feel you kind of agreed with that though. Now on the...

    random superpower thread.

    First try, I got Power Absorption http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Absorption I don't have to tell anyone why that's useful. One caveat though, depending on what universe we exist in, I'd have to find someone else with superpowers first before it becomes useful. But if it works a bit...

    I want to watch the Marvel Movies..where should I start?

    I'll cast another vote for watching them in order. If you want to condense your list, skip IM2 (although you've already watched it) and Thor 2 as the most forgettable ones. I actually found I had a much bigger appreciation for Cap 1 having recently rewatched it, i.e. after having seen both Cap 2...

    Metro 2033\Last Light are licensed games.

    I think you may be on to something with your novel vs. movie adaptations. They are generally seen differently, although it mostly has something to do with the overall popularity of a franchise before it is recognised as such. Also, movie adaptations that are actually tie-ins with movie releases...

    What did folks think of Transistor?

    I enjoyed it a lot and agree they kept things vague mostly because the writers themselves didn?t have the answer and/or didn?t want to give them. It took me an hour or two to let go of the fact this wasn?t Bastion. The combat system was fun, although I preferred the simpler system employed in...

    Layoffs at Codemasters

    As much as I hate to say it, I can?t say I?m all that surprised by it. Their change of focus to racing games only was always because they were already struggling, not some noble change of heart. Add to that the somewhat lacklustre reception for some of their titles, the F1 gravy train stagnating...

    Console exclusives that would have been great on PC

    I saw the title and immediately thought of both RDR and Halo which you already mentioned. Seeing MGR: Revengeance coming to the PC earlier this year in a decent port made me clamour for Bayonetta following the same route. Let?s not even get started about Bayonetta 2 which would be such a...

    Suggestions for "anime games?"

    Just a heads-up, there's a sale on anime games on Steam right now. Just go and have a look if there's something in there for you!

    Knights of the Old Republic, the movie

    Sam Jackson for Jolee. I imagine him playing him like his character in the trailer for King's Men. Having him tell you not to ruin the carpet in his hut is pure comedy gold. But to be fair, I think that bringing this story to the big screen won't work pacing wise though. McGuffin chases can...

    Greenpeace Damages Nazca Site

    Quoted for truth. I've always disliked Greenpeace for exactly this reason. In my eyes, they have always been the embodiment of ends justifies the means gone wrong. I?ll give them credit for one thing, the people on the street that try to get you to sign up for them are a great way to blow off...

    8 Video Games Everyone Needs To Play

    As soon as I saw this post, I decided I wanted to go into the forums for a good helping of rage, passive aggressiveness and snobbism. While I understand this list is not correct (since these will never ever be correct), I love how almost everyone here is preaching their Absolute Truth ? like...

    How much do reviews impact your purchases?

    If it is not a sequel to something I already played, a review can help me decide whether or not I want something. But since I got a pc and been mostly on steam last year, I tend to not buy things close to when they release. At that point sales and other people's experiences become a lot bigger...
