Oh thank goodness people with aesthetic sensibilities are still out there. Honestly, look at that thing. Why the hell are they clinging to that damn hawk motif like a man on the wing of an airborne plane? The only indication of said motif that survives from the original game is that stupid...

go find Fooly Cooly. 7 episodes, great animation, funny, weird, generally awesome. Also, I recommend The Amazing World of Gumball. Impressive animation that mixes multiple styles, and the zany comedy and characters are unendingly entertaining. Right up there with Adventure time. Also, if...

I don't get why they stopped producing Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars. Those? Freaking amazing, with great animations and doesn't dick around with half-assed attempts at character development like the newer clones wars has. And all of the plots? Absolutely silly with disproportionately...

"What are you doing with that gun?" -can't remember for the life of me... That or "Come on, what could possibly go wrong?", spoken by undoubtably far to many people dangling Murphy's Law temptingly in front of Fate.

I haven't had the pleasure of playing System Shock 2, even though I really do want to, but I can still highly recommend Bioshock as a stand alone title. Firstly, if you do decide to pick it up, don't bother with the sequel (it was a piss poor cash-in that sullied the atmosphere the first game...

Good God. Has Torchwood been contacted?! Ready the Particle-Pulse Beam!

Not You make an excellent point, and it's a wonderful level of freedom for role play, true. However, my original point: Slaying a dragon in Skyrim is boring. No level of role-play and character fabrication can fix that. The encounters are presented randomly and with so little context and...

The obligatory love interest. Almost every fucking movie has one. ALWAYS. and it is always a thinly masked and banal relationship, unless its the focus of the movie, and even then it can be questionable. not every movie/videogame/ story in general needs a damn love interest for the main...

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. Although your a bit inflammatory about, you have an EXCELLENT point. You have a massive open world game that lets you do just about anything and to make a unique character? Thats great but so what? That doesn't mean the story can get away with being sparse and...

The Wii arcade is awesome, because you can purchase dozens of classic nintendo and retro titles that seem to never get old. Metal slug, pokemon snap, the original metroid and super metroid (that alone was worth it for me), tons of 3rd party games. It is in general really great. Also, my...

You raise an excellent point. The versatility of Skyrim is truly something to be praised where praise be do. However... I, personally, WANT that script! I want a better context for performing these exceptional battles! Its not just dragons, its most every boss I, and a friend or two, have...

I will agree, dragon slaying is not the only thing you can do in Skyrim. I raid a dungeon or join a guild so that I can... do what exactly? I like the roleplay aspect of Skyrim a LOT, don't get me wrong. But there is so little meaning, rhyme or reason to anything that is done, and I can do...

Hell, you make a good point! While I'm here, let me also reveal how mass effect and fable are equally masters at making the most extraordinary of circumstances and situations woefully uninteresting.

I just killed my first Skyrim dragon... and am astoundingly underwhelmed. I am amazingly unfulfilled about the whole experience. It sucked. It wasn't and epic battle, it wasn't a momentous occasion to sing of down the ages. It wasn't anything worth mention. For a culture where the continued...

Honestly? No... The thing about American politics is that thanks to endless media coverage and bias news organizations with agendas, the USA is the most alarmist country ever. And that is my pick for the thread: alarmism. I cannot freakin' stand it! Every news organization or pundit or...
