  1. Something everyone should do once in a while. I think it's a combination of that and the fact that people tend to not finish games. Pathetic Quaist is a Sorcerer who ends up doing Dragon Shape 3 and that's not as hard as a powerful monster who does the monk dip/vivisectionist combo on top.
  2. My condolences, that game sucked. Congratulations! Buenaventura and GrĂ¡inne are two good names.
  3. Well now that you mention it.....I honestly can not recall a Kevin Costner performance. At least Tom Cruise has Eyes Wide Shut and Interview with the Vampire to his credit.
  4. It seems you broke the forum by doing so, unless you're also @LadyCrimson. Of the first DLC wave, the side story is interesting, the roguelike mode is either a build tester or a megadungeon for the main game, and Inevitable Excess is bad. I'd go for it if it's cheaper than buying the first two.
  5. Night Visitor (1989) This movie feels like a fever dream simulacrum of several 80's horror movies, something that seems a product of your memory amalgamating several films together. A satanic killer, that has a dayjob as a high school teacher, who exclusively murders prostitutes terrorizes a city/suburb with the help of his crazy and/or dumb brother. The only ones that can stop him are a high school couple and an alcoholic ex-cop. There's a single mom, an **** friend, the sexy neighbor, and many other tropes that have been in so many of these films. Night Visitor fails to do anything interesting with them. It certainly didn't help that the killers, the terrifying satanic killer and his kRaZy brother, are out of shape middle aged men that never exude anything threatening and would probably hurt themselves chasing after someone. But even if they were threatening, the film would be forgettable at best. Strongly do not recommend. Mulholland Drive (2001) I decided to watch this again because the above movie pissed me off and because talking with @Bartimaeus made me want to see it. A very good decision. It's a beautiful confusing mess, like walking through several dreams that somehow cohese just enough to see how they are connected. The sound and cinematography work in tamdem to reinforce this feeling, the low rumblings combine with handheld camera movement to make you feel just a bit uneasy even in ordinary scenes, like the voyeurism is more personal somehow. And hell no baby jesus god damn, Naomi Watts is incredible. The next Neil Breen film will be the great unifier. I can't remember any of the Indiana Jones movies. I've seen them, but it's been so long my memory fails to recall any particulars beyond the iconic scenes.
  6. Well a 10% chance you'll love it with a 20% chance you'll hate it are better odds than normal for you.
  7. There's still the issue of the NSA and whether time exists or is actually linear though. If I had to recommend a Lynch film to you I would recommend either The Elephant Man or The Straight Story, because both start with "The" and you have liked movies that start with "The" before. Both are also notably more straight forward than most of his work and feature characters you may have an easier time relating to or sympathizing with than his other films. Wild at Heart is a very dark horse, I think it's an easier watch than Blue Velvet but.... very dark horse. There's a showing of it tonight at the Alamo I wanted to catch but I don't think I will be able to make it. You can chalk it up to being me wanting to see the movie.
  8. That's a tall order. What if you're watching The Straight Story with your nieces and you find a tinge it enjoyment? Are you going to rush out if the room, log on to forums.obsidian.net and dm me before they catch on? What if your nieces deduce you enjoyed the film before I check the forums? What if the NSA reads the message before I do? What if time doesn't really exist so first is meaningless? A lot of potential hurdles are there.
  9. The Elephant Man (1980) The first David Lynch film I saw was Lost Highway. It was before I really followed directors and hadn't seen much besides tentpole stuff at theaters, b-movies rented for cheap from blockbuster, or stuff that was on tv. My memory is a bit fuzzy and I quite honestly don't remember much from my teenage years (thank god) so I can't place when I saw it...... but I think it was either on IFC or the Sundance channel. I'm not sure if I recorded it by mistake or by intention, but whatever the case it made a huge impression and did somewhat change my views on movies. I really want to see it again but the only legal way to watch it would be to get a bluray for $40 which I'd need a player for to boot. Maybe soon. Anyways The Elephant Man is probably the furthest Lynch film of from Lost Highway, perhaps only beaten in that regard by the Disney film The Straight Story. Aside from a handful of dream sequences, the movie is entirely straightforward and almost feels like it could fit in with some of the old Hollywood black and white movies. Like Eraserhead, the sound is a constant and almost unnoticed companion that fills you with unease and really helps to elevate the film. I'll admit that the ending brought tears to my eyes, made all the more potent by the heavy foreshadowing that makes it seem like a slow moving crash. Beautiful film.
  10. Compared to the other sekrit endings, the Midnight Isles one is very easy to get, at least as part of the main game. So much so I really have a hard time calling it a secret ending.
  11. Yes. You see the world inside the giant ball of ice is constantly shifting. What was once south is now north, what was east is now west.
  12. feelz got no place in serious discussion *snort* *fart* All monarchs and nobility have it coming.......uhhhh metaphorically speaking.

  14. If that was true then why did it take you a year to go off on it, and to something that was a tangent? I've seen Zor get called a Russian apologist for doing his usual pedantic aktuallllly thing and never seen you speak up about that putting him into a box. Really it sounds like you're more offended by a perceived slight against yourself than you are putting people into boxes.
  15. Every iteration of this thread has been about putting people into boxes, the good box or the russia box. That it took an observation of who was organizing the pro-Russian thing in Austria to set you off on putting people in boxes is pretty damn funny.
  16. Look, I know we've had some fun here but let's not go too far. Flat earth should be left in the dustbin of history. Scientific evidence has confirmed the giant ball of ice theory.
  17. Well similarly to how obese people tend to eat more fast food than average, people who believe the vaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx will give them tiger aids are more likely to be into other conspiracy theories and be Putin fanbois. Now just like you have fat folks who don't eat fast food and skinny folks who eat it every day, you have anti-vaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxers who don't like Putin and Putin stans who get their microchip firmware updates. It's a correlation that seems to hold true in at least three different countries, no one is saying that not getting a vaccine means you personally cheer for every Ukrainian killed.
  18. Sounds like Ukraine should get one of those weather warping balloons. Start being naughty.
  19. You're comparing apples and astrophysics. One of them is an observation of general correlation and the other is fantasy **** that's numerically impossible. If you want to make a comparison, it's that people who eat fast food 3+ times a week tend to be more overweight than the general population. Does that also get you booty blasted?
  20. Buddy, noting an overlap isn't equating anything. If 75% of RPG players like vidya game romance, it doesn't mean that playing a RPG is the same thing as smashing some digital bootay after 3 conversations and you'd be dumb to think that. I don't know why you're this triggered and you should probably not get so worked up. They're also disproportionately Naruto fans, and watching Naruto is objectively the worst thing you can do.
  21. More often than not, the anti-vaxxers put themselves in that group.
  22. Twin Peaks: The Return. David Lynch said it was an 18 hour movie, so I'm posting about it here. So this is he second time I've seen this, and it's gotten better for me. Much better. If the original Twin Peaks can be seen as a vehicle for surrealism and an examination of the hidden nightmares found in America's idealized projection of itself wrapped up in a satire of soap operas and mystery series, then The Return is takes that, almost entirely peels the wrapping off, and launches in to some very strange territory. Even by Lynch standards it's a very weird movie with....you know what just watch it for yourself. It feels impossible to spoil because like the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, what happens is so off the wall that accurately describing what happens would be taken by most folks as a joke. Yuge reccomend, this is a masterpiece.
