Can I recommend "Irreversible", a French art-film told in reverse chronological order, and "Antichrist"? Both are fair films in my opinion.

I'd need to know more about your tastes in games (I'm planning on getting both). If you're looking for more great 3rd party games, quality online, processing power/technical grunt and 'core' experiences (and a lack of region-lock), I'd say Vita. Otherwise, if you're a Nintendo fan, or...

Looks like I jumped the shark :/ (Waits for the pun to kick in)

To me, Call of Duty isn't bad. In fact, the series is a great bit of fun. I just don't particularly like the genre, fanbase or game enough to rave about it, or play it frequently. Many people who like CoD have their reasons, and just because you find them unfathomable doesn't mean they're...

Silent Hill 2: Does James count? While he's not exactly the 'bad guy', for the protagonist to have his past revealed even to himself, it was pretty spectacular.

I don't hate Modern Warfare 3. I hate the damned individuals who consistently criticize my refusal to purchase it. I don't like it. You do. That's fine, but don't question my stance.

Isn't having sex with someone under the influence classed as rape automatically? I know it is in New Zealand, but what about over there?

I love how in this era 'gay' substitutes as an adjective with negative connotations, rather than a term used to describe care-free stylings or homosexual individuals. Just brilliant.

I was talking with my mother at one time recently, and managed to joke with her about the Battlefield 3 "rat-stabbing" controversy PeTA lobbied. Or at least I tried to. Turns out, she found the scene abhorrent, despite my justification of context, and said they had every right to protest against...

I'd say BioShock over all of them (or Half-Life 2), but neither of those are 'military' shooters. And I revere both for their story, not gameplay. I'm still voting 'neither', but from what I know of the two choices, MW3 is better.

I can safely say you need to watch "Flight of the Conchords". It's an American show, but its two stars give quite some insight into the NZ culture (we aren't insane). Also, don't confuse us with Australians. Ever. :3 And one last personal fact: Not every person in New Zealand likes...

Where's the "Am I the only one who _" option? Those threads annoy the heck out of me :/

Knowing this indeed made me smile... Captcha, come on! >:( http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/9018/44237184.png

Sorry if this is a bit late (6 pages!) but that sounds an awful lot like the Arcade-esque platformer (rip-off of Frogger) Zapper. Did you play that as a child, by any chance? Anyway, for me it's always been the fear of suffocating inside a safe. Yup, child me was thinking about that. I...

Silent Hill 2. It's graphics still stand up today (See the upcoming HD Collection) and it relied more on art design and direction than technical 'wow'. Then again, the same can be said for any of the PS2 Silent Hill titles :) (And other games with similar priorities, like Ico and Shadow of...
