  1. Gibson is a better director than he was an actor. As long as he keeps making movies I enjoy, i will continue seeing them. I don't care about his personal life.
  2. Legalizing and regulating narcotics and converting it into legitimate business would reduce crime, create jobs, and increase tax revenue. Treat it like tobacco and require narcotic companies to fund rehabilitation programs and drug education as well as using a portion of the tax revenue to do the same.. This would offset the short term increase in drug use caused by legalization. If this was done internationally, latin american economies could benefit from a legitimate narcotic industry. Basically, IMO, the pros outweigh the cons, and with proper education and regulation, you would likely see the same trends that are going on with Tobacco(something like 80% reduction in tobacco use in the last 20 years)
  3. I'm dividing my time right now between Red Dead Redemption, Transformers: War for Cybertron, and Europa Universalis III
  4. Wow, late comer here. He was one of the key personalities of both the old BIS boards and here. I'm having more of a reaction from this than I do from finding out people I know in real life have died.
  5. They've been stealing Palestinian land since the 30s. No one is going to do anything about it now.
  6. This is both the most and least helpful response. I prefer shooters on PC, but if the interface feels like its meant for console then I'd probably rather go for that.
  7. I'm juggling between Dragon Age: Awakening, Red Dead Redemption, and Smackdown vs Raw 2010. First two are awesome, though RDR is buggy as hell. I didn't play SvR 2009, but the fight mechanics for 2010 are better than 2009, and the character creation results are nicer, but the story mode is weak as hell. I was hoping for an improvement over SvR2008, but they went backwards instead.
  8. Question for the Devs, if you were going to buy this game, would you get it for console or PC and why? I want to get it but not sure which version to get.
  9. He looks like Cap, only without the queer wings on his head or the baffling scale mail. From what I've gathered, if you liked the book, you'll love the movie, if you've never read the book you have about a 50/50 chance of liking it. The marketing was awful, it billed it as a superhero action flick, which it isn't. Its a drama about vigilantes. I loved it, and the director's cut is even better.
  10. Saw Push the other night. Except for some awful editing and random film grain I thought it was a solid watch. I would love to see more flicks in that universe though I know it will never happen. Anyway, some concept art for Thor and Captain America got out. Cap looks fantastic, I need to see Thor in action. Costume looks ok, but Chris Hemsworth isn't selling it for me. Cap: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45326 Thor: http://www.collider.com/2010/06/02/thor-ch...es-concept-art/

    NHL

    If Chicago wins how many times will that be that the team that beats Vancouver wins the cup?
  12. I guess Gnosticism was influenced by Zoroastrianism. But basically the reference to Jacob and the MiB being twins, one good, one evil. Then they go on about Jacob being the Demiurge, the flawed yet good intentioned being of which everything is attributed to. They called it the Gnostic Wet Fart Ending.
  13. My problem is its like 13 degrees outside, and 26 inside. And we moved to a new place that has stupid windows our air conditioner doesn't fit in. So we have 3 fans going and the window open and that lowers the temp by about a degree.
  14. CHUD basically dismissed it as a mish mash of Zoroastrian and Gnostic mythology set to a contemporary backdrop. Which seems pretty accurate.
  15. I thought it was fantastic until Jack got to the church. Then it was just a downward spiral of crap. None of the major mysteries are revealed, nothing. It was just stupid. Boo to the creators. I can't believe they planned that garbage ending three years ago and in all the time since couldn't figure out how terrible it was.
  16. I like how Paradox does it. No DRM, but in order to get access to tech support or post in certain sections of the official forums you need to register your game's cd key. Or Stardock, where you need to authenticate your game in order to get patches.
  17. On another note: Slither was a very entertaining sci-fi/horror flick.
  18. District 9 was better than about half the movies on the list. I wouldn't even really consider K-Pax sci-fi.
  19. You know, even if Red Dead turns out as good as my wildest expectations it will still share one major blemish that all western games have... it wont have the soundtrack from the Dollars Trilogy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsMivr9zlk0 After having to sit through them repeating the main theme for The Good The Bad and the Ugly over and over and over and over and over through the movie, I'm thankful for that.
  20. The great not so white north. West coast of Canada.
  21. Nope. South Park has really dumb morals and if you absorb them your political opinions will become garbage. Says the guy who advocates violent revolution to promote a failed economic and sociological system.
  22. The genius of South Park is that when they set out to make a point, while they present that point in a ridiculous over the top and offensive way, they also present it in a way that leaves you thinking "Well... can't argue with that"
  23. South Park is brilliant satire peppered with enough potty humor to make it accessible to everyone. They also don't give a crap who they offend as long as they get their point across. Which I applaud.

    Books

    Well, so far theres only 4 books. The 3rd one is my favorite so far. Just started reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. So far its really hard to read. Its a period piece and uses period language and while its easy enough to understand, like the Lord of the Rings books the way its written makes reading it a chore.
  25. The downloadable characters are disappointing. The missions were fun, if short. 8 bucks for 45 minutes of content is not good value IMO. Especially since the characters aren't interactive on the Normandy.
