I am not at all surprised. No, I take that back. The fact that there is an elevator shaft straight through the planet surprises the hell out of me. I cannot Flat What hard enough. Also, to be fair, the First Class sequel is, as far as I have heard, simply subtitled Days of Future Past...

I'm surprised the flaw that first threw me out of Gotham and back into an East Texas cinema seems to have not been discussed here yet. Now, maybe I missed some expository line of dialogue. Maybe I don't understand what a police commissioner does. It just confused the hell out of me that...

I'm tellin' ya, the time is so very right for a respectful remake of Bushido Blade. It sounds like you're suggesting something between that and Dark Souls, and I for one would play the bejesus out of that game.

Keep Uwe Boll FAR AWAY. On a desert island with Paul Anderson and Michael Bay until shooting is complete. I want this to work so hard I can cut glass with my desire.

At the risk of turning this into another kind of thread entirely, an argument could be made that it was Lucifer (if one sees the serpent in Eden as representing him) who gave humans free will via the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. I still don't get how Yahweh is supposed to come across as...

Master of Magic and X-Com, if you want to get all DosBox with it. I second Katamari Damacy. The series is a bit played out now, but if someone has never played any of them, the sheer joy of discovering it is magic. Bushido Blade. Greatest fighting game ever. And while it may not be...

Very sneaky, slipping in the Meet the Feebles stuff. Well played.

For the most part, it makes my skin crawl. When it's used against me, I try to give the offender the benefit of the doubt and assume they're using a bare-bones phone without a full keyboard. That's annoying enough to use to justify taking all the shortcuts you can. On the internet, there is...

I want to be mad. I kind of feel like I should. But I just can't. Sure, I'd love to see an ME film with Seth Green as Joker and Jennifer Hale as Shepard, if only because I want them to play in piles of money like Scrooge McDuck. But I don't need that movie, because the games work for me...

The funny thing about this trend of "reimagining" classic games (Syndicate, X-Com, and I'll even go back to Shadowrun) is that the people who would recognize and be excited by the name they're licensing are the people who will refuse to buy it on principle. Sort of a self-defeating purpose.

I was sold on the game when I came in here. I'm twice as sold now.

I'm cautiously hopeful about both, despite not really digging this Manamana guy as Conan, and hating that Peter Vincent has changed from Peter Cushing to Criss Angel. Not hopeful enough to subject myself to the theater for either, though. I think it'll take The Avengers to get me to do that.

Who says misanthropy is dead? Oh, wait. That's chivalry, isn't it?

Premonitions/Danger Sense - an extra option within VATS. At a cost of a full AP bar, plus perhaps reduced/nil AP regeneration for a time, rewind the game by 30 seconds. What you just played didn't happen, it was just a vision of a possible future. Invaluable when you find yourself suddenly...

Red, please. With jet black coming in a close second. I totally count Magic: the Gathering as a sport. I saw a tournament on ESPN2 one day.
