    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Writer to Pen Script for Mission: Impossible 5

    That actually seems like a good fit. MW3 was a mindless action movie, pretty much, and that would go perfectly with the Mission Impossible series.

    Update: Dropbox Dies, Resurrection Complete

    Well, one of the first thing you learn as an IT student is to have several backups for everything, so I'm not really devastated if my files vanish into the Warp, I only used it because people I was doing a project with pretty much demanded we use it, so all I have on there is a pile of files for...

    Anti-gun control people, where would you draw the line?

    As a person living in a country (Ireland), that it is completely illegal for a citizen to own a gun, christ, airsoft guns are still a really vague area as to if you can have one or not), I can see the need to use guns for hunting and self defence, but I think there is a line. If you use an...

    What's the most boring book you've ever read?

    The universe he created is amazing, I just think, based off the short stories I read, that his writing style isn't that great. When you are reading a number of them in a row, and you just keep getting let down after let down because the monster is ALWAYS made indescribable for some reason, it...

    What's the most boring book you've ever read?

    H.P.Lovecraft's works. Don't get me wrong, I love the universe and setting he created, I'm a keeper for Call of Cthulhu games with my group in college, but I find his actual writing horrible. I understand that yes, you are meant to use your imagination, that what we create in our minds is...

    Draw Harley Quinn Naked, Killing Herself, To Win DC Artist Contest

    Oh ok, in which case... yeah, that is a bit... odd? I doubt however that they will pick a winner that is full frontal nudity. I reckon they would be going for something more stylised, like there just happens to be bubbles covering her naughty bits, you can only see the back of her, and so...

    Draw Harley Quinn Naked, Killing Herself, To Win DC Artist Contest

    From the way it is described, her being naked isn't a must, it sounds like just a very, very bad example. Yes, the idea of the contest is ungodly stupid and weird, but they are not telling people she has to be naked. It's the "Or perhaps" bit that makes me think this way. I still think maybe...

    Dead Rising 3 Will Have Multiple Endings, Upgradeable Crafting

    "Ultimately, you can combine anything with anything, anywhere" I don't know, that sounds a little too good to be true. It smells a little of Saints Row 4's "focus on verticality" which amounted to 4 or 5 platform pieces and a blatant wall blocking you from going high in the air.

    So I just finished Saints Row IV

    I'm going to be the odd man out here, but I was largely unimpressed with it. Maybe it is because I don't find reference based humour all that funny, and to me, it seemed like that was all this game could pull off. The superpowers were fun, but they completely destroy other elements of the...

    A question about Microsoft points being phased out.

    So, in "Fall 2013" Microsoft points are to be removed and replaced with just real world money. Any points you have left will be converted, so that is something. I buy Microsoft points with the cards you get in Game, Gamestop, WHSmith, etc. I also buy Gold membership the same way. I never put...

    Drone Hunting License In the Works In Colorado Town

    Just a thought. You shoot down a drone flying over a town. Drones are made of metals, be light weight or not, so when you shoot it down, you have a rain of metal. In a town. A rain of metal lumps and/or shards in a town filled with people. Even if they are made of plastics, it is still a rain of...

    Find one good thing about a bad movie or game.

    Some of the 3D effects in World War Z were good, as was the score... but the rest of it... uggh..

    Ender's Game Author Asks For Tolerance After Boycott Threat

    I have never read any of his books, had pretty much never heard of him before the film was announced, and didn't know about his view point on these things. But I just had a thought. Sure, boycotting the film sticks it to him, but what about everyone who worked on that film? And I don't just...

    That Guy With The Glasses/ Nostalgia Critic site

    I don't use their site anymore. The only people I watch who are, or were part of the group are Spoony, Cinema Snob and Linkara, and I use their personnel websites for that. I used to watch to TGWTG, but when he stopped making them, and then started making them after a few weeks/months, it was so...

    Nolan North: Nathan Drake "Is Me"

    If I recall correctly, he was the Penquin, and he also played a lot of the random thugs you hear in the city. He might have played others as well though.
