  1. Are all the kickstarter/paypal backers included in that number? Because essentially the game was available for purchase a long before it launched.
  2. Providence didn't turn out to be quite "Alan Moore writes a Lovecraftian tale" but more like "Alan Moore copies over Lovecraft and changes some names to avoid lawsuits".
  3. Watched the entire Back to the Future series this week for obvious reasons. Biff certainly goes from "awful creep" to full-on insane quickly. His grandson Griff is so overacted that I'm sure he had a lot of fun playing it.
  4. That title is funny because isn't that what Al-Queida started as?
  5. I had a party last week and bought a bunch of booze but the person who I knew drinks Malibu had to cancel, so now I'm drinking it. It's not bad for rum watered down with cononut water. Seriously easy going indeed.
  6. Is it just me or is Arrow just getting worse and worse? At least thye had the brains to remove the get-out-of-death-free-card before overusing it because obviously bye-bye tension if you can just bring everyone back to life.
  7. Yes. And some of them are lesbians. Also, all the male characters in the show die. All of them.[/i] Also I just read this post by you and I realized how my view of you with your obsession with manly stuff (guns, muscles, lego) is now somewhat damaged because no manly man talks about how perfect their hair is.
  8. I dunno, Leia was th only competent hero in the original movie, more willing to get her hands dirty (literally) than the dudes, and makes a point of making a point about how she wasn't in distress and didn't want these ****ers and their lame failure of a rescue attempt. Plus I'm sure that golden bikini was all about empowerment against patriarchal standards of decency or whatever at the time. I dunno, leave me alone.
  9. This is such a bizarre statement to me. It seems like you are looking for political correctness, just so you can point at it and dislike it. Wouldn't you rather just enjoy stuff? There was no blatant political correctness in the trailer, but you've clearly already made up your mind as to what the movie will be. That seems like a shame. Lol, if you dont see the obvious female and minority empowerment in the choice of actors then you must not have been watching the same trailer as I have. [sic] But I hate how obvious it is in ticking marketing and political boxes. A lot of false assumptions there. There's box ticking there, but the goal isn't "political correctness" or "minority empowerment", Mr Tinfoil. Since the old cast is back and it's Star Wars, they knew the white nerd dude butts are already in the theatre seats. Because of that, they went to work to get everyone else's butts there too. Let's get real, Hollywood does not give a flying **** about political correctness. It's smaller productions that can't stand up against the tumblr hate mobs, but big tentpoles do these things get money. Just like how both Terminator Genisys and Age of Ultron both added Asians to the cast to pander to Chinese audiences. Big movies are simply not affected by this tumblr warriors vs white nerds bull****. Mad Max is all over the internet in equal parts for supposedly being so politically correct and for being so awesome it's the movie equivelant of the pan-galactic gargle blaster, but it still made jack **** at the box office. Why would they care? Whatever people on the internet care about, that's not a factor in how much a movie makes and therefore not a factor in what Hollywood cares about. Did Jurassic World suffer either for having a female lead, or a white American military guy as a villain, or for having been condemned as being sexist by one of the former top feminist illuminati members? No, it became the third highest grossing movie of all time. And said deposed king of feminists got a taste of his own medicine when the illuminati came after him for making Black Widow a motherhood martyr or some **** (or whatever the **** their irrelevant problems with that movie were) did that actually do anything? Whether its sexist or progressive at this point in time is completely irrelevant to big movies - money, my dear boy, is what matters here. I wonder what the response to Rush Hour would have been if it came out now. An action duo with zero white guys? TO THE INTERNET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW PERSECUTED I AM!
  10. I doubt you would use Twitter and then use comments from Twitter to base your opinion No, I wouldn't. Sadly, I am a very, very tiny minority in this. 90% of my Facebook feed is idiots who posts pictures with captions on it like they're political arguments. I'm pretty sure 99% of the idiocy in the world such as anti-vaxxers have been able to thrive due to social media giving them a platform.
  11. What's reliable and what's used ain't exactly ever been similar, Bruce.
  12. Mostly because it felt the need to dump in every single bit of narration from the trailers.
  13. That's 141 characters. #TRENCH FAIL
  14. I was without existence. Do I win?
  15. No, it was technobabble in a fantasy film disguised as space opera. Pointing out how that doesn't make sense is like pointing at a white wall and going "gosh, this wall is white".
  16. I assume the part of the player base that is too lazy too read won't be bothered to listen either. I foresee lots of dialogue skipping.
  17. Why would you do this to me?
  18. Since half of the dialogue contains descriptions, you're going to be reading it anyway. Even full VA won't change that.
  19. Well, supposedly Andy Serkis plays a villain (and it is in fact his voice narrating the original teaser) and as far as I know we still have no idea who Max von Sydow is playing...
  20. He's also tall and thin. I dunno if any of you have seen Mark Hamill lately, but he was never the first and now is neither.
  21. Ditto. The trailers have my interest but have not yet created excitement because honestly I've got no idea what I'm looking at. I hate trailers that spoil the entire movie, but I think this one may have swung the pendulum too far to the other side. Eh, from all accounts and backstage stories, he was ruined by his parents and was a really, really annoying little **** to everyone because "I've been picked to play the hero!" Haha, fair enough. Still, he's a kid picked to play the hero in the Star Wars movie. Is there a kid alive that wouldn't let that go to his head? My guess is that it is Luke, who in this time continuum didn't from new jedi council (like in quashed extended universe), but instead just fall to dark side because he regrets his actions that lead death of his father. I'm kind of assuming both Darth Revan in the trailer there and the main girl are somehow related to or spawned by either Luke or Leia. They could be siblings. That's pure speculation from the vague "vibe" I get from the trailer, though.
  22. Again, to be fair, children require far more directing than adults and I feel like that was lacking. Star Wars ruined his life because George Lucas is bad.
  23. While I used to make a lot of fun Hayden's sweaty Mannequin Skywalker, I recently watched some silly YouTube video that was like "10 Things the Prequels Did Right" and it mentioned that you should pay attention to Hayden when he's not having to speak George Lucas' awful dialogue. He acts the hell out of it when he doesn't have to talk. Dude's got the presence to pull it off - and since I've seen him in other movies, I know he can act. I'm not going to say he's an amazing actor - he was mediocre in Jumper and that silly movie with Nick Cage, but he was pretty great in Shattered Glass - but since these movies also managed to get terrible or boring performances out of Natalie Portman, Liam Neeson and freaking Samuel L Jackson out of all people, and had Ewan McGregor visibly holding back laughter because of some of the awful lines he had to say (I better cover my mouth quickly because I cannot say "He killed YOUNGLINGS" without smirking!) I'm starting to lean towards George Lucas ruining that performance more than Hayden did.
  24. There was no way Avengers 2 was going to be anything else but disappointing and I think it did pretty well considering the expectations and requirements the filmmakers had to juggle.
  25. Please don't mistake the length of my posts with how much I care.
