Wow, Blizzard PWNS WoW player!
No, Blizzard does this with about anything they can get their hands on. They're pretty meticulous about these things. Why does everything about WoW turn into an anti-blizzard bashing fest? Regardless on how you feel about the game itself, Blizzard has shown enormous dedication to it and, as always, to it's fanbase. They want to deliver the same experience for everyone. Even if the experience is really, REALLY boring.

How do you beat Super Mario Brothers without killing anyone?!
That's Mario Land on Game Boy. That's Super Mario Bros 3. No, Super Mario Bros 3. has the magic flute. Super Mario Bros. has Warp Zones. Unless your comment pertained to speed runs, and there are definately more speed runs than just Super Mario Bros 3. There are legions of websites dedicated to them.

Resident Evil: Extinction
I think you mean Planet Terror, but Robert Rodriguez made that. Quentin Tarantino made the OTHER half of Grindhouse, being Death Proof.

Sequels you wish were being made
Kotor 3 Dungeon Keeper 3 Beyond Good and Evil 2 Alien vs Predator 3 Also, not really a sequel, but I want to see WarCraft II on the DS.

Movies you have seen lately
I actually quite enjoyed it, but mostly because the acting was very good. To me it was a very typical Shyamalan movie - a good idea, good acting, beautiful artwork and setting, a mediocre execution and some wierd direction decisions. By wierd direction I mean how he handles suspense - he's very good at building it, but when the monsters show up it's always dissapointing. Well, that means he handles suspense really well. He just screws up when it comes to a climax.

Resident Evil: Extinction
While I haven't seen this movie, I have an issue with the comment that the only movie ****tier than it is Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. I have issue with this because The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is ****tier than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. This is because Mortal Kombat: Annihilation has a scene where a guy with metal arms punches the living snot out centaur/dinosaur thing. This is nto shared by The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

last.fm
I do have one, but I forgot what it was as I haven't used to for ages. I basically used it as a way to find new music, but it's "you'll probably like this too" system is quite obviously broken as half the songs I got were complete tripe.

Fable
I remember playing a game a while ago where you were a god and you could create planets and populate them with different races and they would kill each other. It was horribly designed with nearly no actual gameplay, though. It felt a bit like a board game.

Upcoming Movie Discussion
Hah! Well, sadly, with Snakes on a Plane I said it during the hype period but then when the trailer was released I noticed "hey, this isn't tongue in cheeck silly, it's just stupid..."

Greatest game of all time getting a sequel!
What the- this ain't Rocking Cats 2!

Upcoming Movie Discussion
The first thing I said when I saw the trailer was "This is going to be the best worst movie ever."

Persistance of myths
That's pretty interesting, but I suspect that a lot of that research was partly incorrect and/or biased. For example, "The side effects are worse than the flu" is a subjective opinion. To some people, having the flu is worse. To me, it's preferable to barely being able to move my arm for two weeks. If someone told me that was a false myth, I'd tell them they were wrong and continue saying it. (An interesting tidbit about my experience with the flu vaccin: every year I don't get it, I'm flu free. Every year I DO get it, I also get the flu, usually more than once.)

Mask of the Betrayer
So, I just found a cheap box that has both the original Neverwinter Nights + expansions, and Neverwinter Nights 2, so I bought it. Since I've never played any of these before, I'd like to ask you Cantousent, if playing these is neccesary to understanding the story of Mask of the Betrayer? (Also, since I've never played any of these before, I'd like to ask anyone if you have to play Neverwinter Nights or it's expansions to understand Neverwinter Nights 2?)

Going to college BRB
Well, my second year of college was supposed to start last monday. They told us "come back tomorrow". Then we came back on tuesday, and they told us "come back next monday". So, I'm going back on monday and if I get told to come back some other day again, I'm going to flip out.

Aliens vs. Predator (2): Requiem
Alien 3 was visually interesting and it had an interesting story. It actually seems to me as if they were forced to use Ripley by studio interference, and she could have been any other character. It would have been much more interesting if it hadn't ****ed with old characters. Also, it suffered from having to compare to Alien and Aliens. I mean, those movies are some of the greatest ever. The only reason Aliens compared with Alien was because they changed the entire dynamic; they tried the same with Alien3, and it just didn't work out so well.
-
Aliens vs. Predator (2): Requiem
Why? That board is about the Aliens game Obsidian is developing, which has very little to do with this Aliens vs Predator movie, aside from the fact it has aliens in it.

Roger Ebert: Games are an inferior medium
How is entertainment not art? I'm pretty sure that a movie that sets out to entertain and does so is more artful than a horrible movie made for "the right reasons" as one might say.

The Return of the son of The Comic Thread
A compelling arguement that eventually boils down to "everything sucks". Fine, I'll be a communist.

Aliens vs. Predator (2): Requiem
Predator 2 is definately underrated.
-
Star Wars Personality Test
Me too ...although I find Natalie Portman more annoying actually. Atleast Jar-jar wasnt the worst actress ever in the history of mankind As sad as it is to say, Jar Jar was the most developed character in Star Wars Episode 1.

Roger Ebert: Games are an inferior medium
The thing is though, what is art? Ebert has grown arrogant indeed if he thinks he can answer that question.

Aliens vs. Predator (2): Requiem
It looks like a slasher. I suppose that makes it better than Alien 3, Alien Ressurection and Alien vs Predator. I disagree that it will easily be better than Predator 2 because of nostalgia! Predator 2 was awesome, and is extremely quotable.
