    The 'Planking' Craze

    I clicked on this thread thinking it was going to be about cooking salmon and other such things on boards of wood, not Aussies imitating wood. Don't you guys know your ground is 90% spiders?

    For Your Consideration: Toy Story 3

    Toy Story 3... wow, what a way to wrap up a series, you know? I'm sure a lot of us feel like we grew up with the three movies. I know I saw the first movie when I was around four or five and now I'm around Andy's age. I grabbed a couple of my old Transformers when I came home from the theater...

    Man dies in cinema during 'Twilight' screening New Zealand police say he was found unresponsive in his chair WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Police are hoping an autopsy will explain what caused a man to slump over in his chair and die while watching a screening of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" at...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    Haaaah! Exactly, Drifter. I think the conversation about philosophy between the husband and wife in Monty Python and the Meaning of Life flowed more smoothly than that. Admirable attempt by Rockstar but some things just don't work. Maybe randomly generated, "Quit lookin' at mah cards!" were...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    Minor update to the review. The update begins at the bottom of the review, starting with the word EDIT.

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I did to compensate. It's nice that Rockstar thought about it but I'm pretty sure that's mostly just momentum. I found that the auto-stick feature on the aiming really helps. I just tap L2, shoot, and keep cycling between shots like I'm knocking down ducks at a...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    OMFG HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH THINGS WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?!?!11~1! Before I dive right into what I hope will be thought provoking and intellectually simulating conversation I just want to say one thing: I do not have two thumbs on one hand. Yes, pressing X and aiming the reticle...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    I don't mind the link at all, will definitely give it a read through. Though I definitely will suggest that you finish the single player game that ending is...crazy awesome. GTA4 had some amazing moments in it. When the (spoiler alert) cabbie shop burned down I had a real emotional attachment...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    I started up the multiplayer and went into the free roam which as I've been told is basically a lobby for the game. It's a carbon copy of the single-player world but it feels...hollow. Maybe I was on at a bad time (12pm cst on a Saturday) but there was nothing going on, really. It felt like...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    Thank you! Gonna add this to the review if ya don't mind. I tried searching lasso dragging, horse dragging man, red dead redemption lasso drag, rope drag, etc, in Google and received pretty much nothing. I'm going to have to agree with all that you've said. I'm not a man of science so all I...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    I actually do plan on that and it'll likely be in this thread or in another with a link back to this if I feel too guilty about necro-ing it.. However I'm not familiar with the gelatinous beast that is the PSN and I've no headset that can be used with my PS3 so I'll be a bit stunted in my review...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    Rewarding...sure, I can see it that way. I did feel a sense of accomplishment the first time I made a turn that didn't wind up in me completely stopping or turning at an incredibly tiny angle like my four seater was a semi-truck but then I remembered that I wouldn't have that sense of...

    Red Dead Redemption: Single Player Review

    I hated Grand Theft Auto 4. I hated it because while the story and writing kicked major ass (as usual for Rockstar) the controls and physics were so ham-handedly awful I had to trade it in to buy Condemned 2 back. Shooting felt very awkward and driving...wow, that was a horrifying thing to...

    Please recommend me some Science Fiction

    Firefly. Hands down one of the best sci-fi shows I've watched. As far as movies go, Serenity is the obvious choice if you watched Firefly, but there's also Dark City, an absolutely amazing film. Also watch the first half of The Island. It's the only thing directed by Michael Bay that I came...
