had to google her, and wow

wow but I agree with you on all points

watching the video, and when the guy's mic got cut off during the award acceptance speech... man, these people, executives and their henchmen, have no morals at all

I'm not saying visual effects are bad, but I do like older techniques of VFX production (Kubrik's 2001, for example, or early ILM) a lot more than computer generated effects. movies like Gravity and Life of Pi look so fake that I'd much rather have them be animation then live-action. and then they're just awful movies if you take the visuals away (IMHO), it's sad when the only thing a movie does right is visual effects, and it's no thanks to actors, directors or screenwriters

am I bad if I hated all those movies?

what about this one then?

you don't like Groundhog Day? wow... you're literally the first person I've seen to admit that

a lot of people are saying, "if critics hate it so much it must be a great game". indeed, there's no such thing as bad publicity

I strongly suggest skipping BG and going straight to BG2. BG is boring, has crappy encounters (largely due to low level nature of the game, lots of save scumming) and is probably the worst Infinity game (YMMV, but even IWD is a better game overall)

this is especially true for Russia, because Russians have been exposed to Western movies for a relatively short period. I still remember how we'd get pirated copies of American B-movies on film and watch them in a small room using an old projector in the early 90. back then they were the epitome of awesome. Russia's cinema culture is underdeveloped because the Soviet old-school is being destroyed, and Western new-school is still so new to some they hardly understand it, and when trying to mimic it they get crap. Hence why movies like Terminator: Salvation make a ton of money in Russia

Arma 3, Project Reality and Insurgency pretty much cover all my tactical FPS needs (large scale, medium scale and small scale battles), so I don't even know if I can bare another one of these if it's not trying to revolutionize the genre. really just waiting for Project Reality 2 (on CryEngine 3)

I've know about Ground Branch for almost two years, and it's still nowhere near being finished... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrV0VAttQ70

I keep forgetting to post this here: Bohemia Interactive will be releasing a free DLC for Arma 3 called Zeus. and it's basically an online Game Master module for the game. one of the players takes the role of Zeus and is able to spawn everything everywhere for his players. I figured it's close enough to RPG news here's the dev livestream showcasing the mode (FFW to 6th minute): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tQPRwQtIek it's already available with the dev branch of the game, btw. go get it and start your modern warfare RP sessions

Europe

Huh! That's definitely not something that I agree with :S maybe you just got lucky, but I had to manually close the game's process in Task Manager after every single round, otherwise it would just freeze in-between rounds and eventually crash. every. single. time. and it was happening to all of us (played with 4 friends). also, that matchmaker... they're probably using some kind of an ELO algorithm, and it could be the lack of players in the game for it to function properly, but I lost count of the times when a band of lv. 1-10 would be put against an all-14 team

it's very FPSy, though I'm not Alan. it's more reliant on twitch skill than any other game I've played (didn't play CoD, it's probably very similar). it's made worse by the fact that killing AI and TItans nets very little points, and identifying enemy pilots can be tough. I saw people get 20+ pilot kills in one round of death match. that's just insane, and there's no way I could compete with them. but using titans is very fun. especially since they can run autonomously, and you can order them to guard an area and double team stray pilots

you're probably right

I wonder, how soon will a Titanfall sale happen after its release? I want to buy it, but it's clearly not polished enough to justify a day-one purchase. so, waiting a couple of months won't hurt, but I wouldn't want to buy it at full price and then see it on sale

have you tried Project Reality for BF2? it's like BF2 meets Insurgency

googled "Kate Upton", and apparently, not counting her bosoms, this is what she's most famous for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAfOBSW-YFs I guess she's kinda cute, when she's not wearing a bikini

"Psionic Youth"

Darkness threatens the existence of mankind... again. Meh.

I know a guy who has 900 hours in L4D and 1000 in L4D2
