There was this game called "The City of Metronome". It got a lot of attention back in 2005, but then nothing was ever heard of it again. The studio, Tarsier, said they never found a publisher for the game and had to put it on the shelf. So far, it has not received any official cancellation...

I'm from Norway myself, and if you're looking for nature, I'd recommend Finnmark furthest up north. I was recently on vacation in Kirkenes, and while there isn't really much to do there (aside from fishing and stuff) and common goods is rather expensive, the surrounding areas, mountains and...

So recently, I watched an old OVA called Dangaioh: Hyper Combat Unit. Pretty decent, I'd say. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangaioh When I looked it up online, I noticed that Hideaki Anno (Evangelion, Gunbuster) had worked on it, either as an art director or with key animation. However...

I don't consider myself an anime expert, but I do own quite a few DVDs. There are tons more I could list, but most of them are just older tv-series and obscure OVAs that probably aren't available on dvd. I just enjoy watching and learning about anime in general, old and new. And of...

The Postman (the Kevin Costner one): Along with Waterworld, it's an unconventional apocalypse-setting, with a real sense of scale and adventure to it. It has a lot of flaws, but a good message at heart. It even offers a more slightly more positive outlook on facing the apocalypse, and a sense...

The Deer Hunter left an impact like none other... A week after I watched it for the first time, a very good friend of mine committed suicide. After I learned about it, and though of The Deer Hunter, the ending only left more of an impact than ever. It really is a masterpiece, and one of my...

I'll throw in a couple: Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade: deeply tragic, but beautiful in it's execution. It has a solid set-up and a tight atmosphere and excellent characters. I can't say much about the plot without spoiling it, but it's basically an "alternate timeline"-type film, with heavy focus...

The Deer Hunter was so devoid of happiness, it left me in a mood of gloom for the rest of the day. Not only that; a few days after I saw it, I found out one of my best friends had commited suicide. That made it even worse for me. Despite all this, I thought the movie was fantastic. There...

I watched it a while ago, and I didn't like it. My reasons go far beyond "Shinji is annoying" (he IS annoying, don't get me wrong), but the whole thing just comes across as kind of wrong in my eyes. It uses a lot of religious imagery, but it feels like it's there purely for aesthetic reasons...

I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite quite a lot. It felt like a fresh take on shooters altogether, with a strong story to back it up. It just invoked a strange feeling of a universe thrown off-balance, being created, torn down and re-created as you went along with it, and it worked quite well. And...

So I just finished The Last of Us, more or less. It certainly was quite the experience, with some truly outstanding bits here and there, most of which I could've put into a full review. However, what I'm still a bit uncertain of is the story. I haven't looked up any other threads regarding...

So by that logic, would you say that Yakko's World isn't a song?

As of recent, I watched D.W Griffith's "Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl." I enjoyed it quite a lot, despite not being big into melodramas. It did have some slightly over-the-top acting here and there, as well as some slightly out-of-focus shots, but I think I can overlook that...

My mom enjoys various RPGs and adventure games (the likes of Zelda and such), although she doesn't play that often. She was really into Spyro for a while, but there haven't been any new games in a while (not counting Skylanders.) Dad doesn't play games, but there is one exception: When I...

Well, I do own a copy of Damnation, the first and last game of Blue Omega. May they never be forgotten, even if nobody remembers them in the first place
