So its Sidekicks but with adults? Ben Stiller is Johnathan Brandis and what, Sean Penn is Chuck Norris?

Every time I tell myself not to get excited for this game, they go and do something like this. I am still keeping my expectations low to avoid disappointment, but damn do I want this to succeed.

I just liked the run down of the named bad guys from Die Hard, oh and the Dune reference was well played, although I just think Sting or Billy Idol whenever I see that haircut.

I was always partial to the Three Musketeers, mostly for Tim Curry, but Oliver Platt was a joy as well. While I know it strayed from the actual story (in that way Disney often does) it is still one of my favorites. Oh and I will trade Julia Roberts for Rebecca De Mornay any day of the week.

Yup I already copped to that about 10 posts ago, but I stand by the fact that it should be plain and simple :)

Ok point made I concede, but that does not change the fact that the notion of the OT being 4,5 and 6 is not new and that was what I was originally questioning way back at the start. Also, my use of the term plain and simple was in reference to the improper use of the spelling plane and...

Yes the movie was called Star Wars, but the opening scroll that you read before the movie starts says "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" Also that should probably be plain and simple, just saying...

New hope was always titled Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope. That was one of the hooks. People couldn't understand why he was starting a story in the middle. He wrote the original trilogy but never expected it to make it past ep 4. But he always titled them in such a way that you knew it was...

No its cool I won't beat up on you or anything your post just confused me so I wanted to clarify. The opening scrolls for each of the first three released have always read Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (originally titled Revenge...

I'm confused by the statement "as they're now known" 4, 5, and 6 have always been 4, 5, and 6. It said so right in the opening scroll, "Episode IV: A New Hope" etc. Why would they just now be called 4, 5, and 6. Or am I missing some new lingo since I stopped paying attention the clusterf*ck that...

I actually get that, but it brings me back to the question of why use Perfect Dark. The critique has nothing to do with the game or the game play. At all times Janna Dark remains appropriately attired for the job she is doing. The only time she is not properly attired is for the live action...

I think there is a slight difference between having a female character in a game that is sexualized in that game, vs. the game being marked in a sexual way. If the argument is that the FFT is a poor trope within the game itself that is one thing. But it appears that the argument here has nothing...

The first 45 seconds are a live model. So what she really has a problem with is male centered marketing. I can accept that, but in that case she isn't complaining about the fighting f*ck-toy. She is complaining about how the fighting f*ck-toy gets sold. Just because her FFT is sold with...

The promo trailer is a bit hyper sexualized. Not owning a Wii-U I couldn't comment on the game play but the trailer was a bit over the top. I don't know if that is an out of context critique but I think that might have been what was being referred to. The link to the trailer is in Bob's original...

Its an interesting piece but the same problems that I have with her arguments in the past crop up once again. "an archetype she calls "The Fighting F*ck-Toy" that encapsulates characters that offer an illusion of "empowerment" but in fact merely combine the mostly-male audiences desire to...
