i was thinking that the design of the walker was cool back in the day, but now that i know a few things it looks pretty ridiculous and impractical for combat. the most obvious flaw is that all weapons are on the front and have a limited fire arc, leaving the back and sides completelly defenseless. To be fair, it's a classic piece of Imperial design philosophy. It's a troop transport with minor assault function. It's geared to look big, mean, be intimidating, and head towards the enemy relying on it's heavy armour to shield it from most irritating attacks. The weapons at the front are geared to blast defences in front of it to allow the troops in the compartment to deploy.,.. But yes, it's still silly. Edit: Oh yes, and they did use the EU to slip in an explanation for why so many of the Imerial War Machines used Legs/Walker tech or wheels.. Because a bunch of planets had weird magnetic fields that messed around with the standard "hover/antigrav" technology....

Everything being massively sped up didn't bother you? Hm, nothing actually came across as massively sped up compared to most games over the last decade. It was stable, and nothing jumped out as an issue.Hell, the last time I replayed SR2 was about.. hm. 2-3 years ago now thinking about it.

I have to admit, I never found the Saints Row 2 port that much of a hassle. Okay, it looked a little dated, but no glitches or outwardly awkward controls...

I watched the first episode of Dark Matter and I also found it cliched... " another series about a group of people who have no idea who they are and how they got there " The only difference is its set in space, I have never been a big Sci-Fi fan and for me to watch this genre it has to be at least inventive. So I'll be skipping this series The basic archetypes are standard, but...

Okay, you can admit to it... It was more than a couple of beers and that's why you got the wrong thread...

For the actual movie type.. Woman in Gold. Ryan Reynolds reminding us that he can do serious, straight roles with depth alongside Helen Mirren. Based on the true story of the aging lady who gets the son of a family friend to take the Austrian government to court to recover a painting that had been stolen from her family by the Nazis. A nicely done piece, that doesn't push the buttons that hard or make something relating to the holocaust gut-wrenching, while still managing to instil a depth of emotion in the proceedings. Plus a fairly good look at the legal battle from what I understand which might interest a few of you lawyer types out there.

Ah, but you have to remember, the main character was English. There's a whole thing about being kind to your dogs, and damsels in distress, while utterly capable of being merciless bastards to the rest of humanity. It's a cultural thing.

Okay, before this thread devolves into something else.. I'll throw in your general random stuff here: Epic Times - Star Wars Actor Arrested After Car Chase

Dark Matter. Starting out to look like a nice little sci-fi. Quirky that it's a tv show adapted from a comic mini-series that was originally written to be a tv show... Six people wake up on a starship with no memories of their past lives, and find the ship stocked with guns. Complications then ensue.
