Mad Max: Fury Road: 99% Fresh with 190 Critic Reviews
Hurlshort replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
Gee, I'm sorry if you feel I was dodging your incredibly convoluted question. You are clearly digging for something. Let's just assume you found it and we can all move on with our lives. -
Did the no name Bull get 32 points, going 8 for 13 beyond the arc?

Depends on the recyclable content.

Mad Max: Fury Road: 99% Fresh with 190 Critic Reviews
Hurlshort replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
You're dodging the question. Would you accept an Alien movie with Ripley assigned to a lesser role and played by a much weaker actress than the main male lead? Hardy is nowhere near the same weight class as Theron. How am I dodging the question? I said yes, I would have no issue with a strong male lead in an Alien film. I will judge it by its individual merit. You can already argue that the guy that played the android was a much stronger lead than the female in the newest Alien movie. Although, once again, Charlize Theron was there dominating. (if only she knew how to run sideways!) The crazy thing is Sigourney Weaver can still play a kick butt character, while Mel Gibson is pretty much past that. It's all about the strength of the actor, I don't care what their gender is. Why do you guys make such a big deal of it? -
Whoa, just watched Curry drop a huge shot at the end of the 3rd from the other side of the court. Hah!

I would have no problem with a new Alien movie with a male lead. But part of the formula of that movie is the strong female scientist who ends up kicking some butt. Oddly enough they have the Predator movies set in the same universe, which tend to revolve around a strong male character. I think people spend too much time worrying about this stuff, while the majority of the world goes about their business just hoping the movie is entertaining. -

They could have just called it Fury Road, but Mad Max is much more marketable. Would you rather have "Mad Max and his more Distinguished Female Co-star" for a title? -
Or they will sell even if garbage because taste is subjective, and most people buying them enjoy them and don't think they are garbage.

Are you dissing Paddington? He'll maul you, be careful what you say. That raincoat is not about the weather, it's to keep clean when the blood of his enemies is raining down. -
To be fair, the NFLPA is made up of people that have undergone a lot of brain injuries.

But thankfully Charlize Theron = +47% -
You have a keen business mind.

Thier own forum didn't lie, they don't even interact with the forumers anymore.... The game sold millions. A forum represents a very small percentage of the customer base.

Thoughts on Knights of the Old Republic

Neither KotOR is turn-based. -
DA:I was the most successful launch in Bioware history. You are kind of just making stuff up.

I usually put asparagus in foil and let it sit on the grill for about 15 minutes. That way they are nice and soft, but still a bit crispy from cooking in the oil. I use olive oil, salt, and pepper.

PoE - Sales figures STEAM
Hurlshort replied to BillyCorgan's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I'm honestly surprised that it doesn't seem to be making the same sales splash as Divinity: Original Sin. I figured that was the safe bet. But maybe it is doing better than it seems, it is hard to tell without any confirmation from Obsidian. -
Heh, Saint's Row 2 actually crapped out on my PS3 back in the day. I was on the final mission, and it locked up, and then continued to lock up at the same place every time. I was a bit frustrated, but I had gotten so much entertainment out of it I couldn't be too mad. Thank goodness for youtube.

someone should be spanked poured with tar and tossed on with feathers, then shown to the public for laughs and after that pitchforks and fire could come from an angry mob if they so desired. Sounds like they are getting enough support to launch again, and hopefully this time they will meet their goal with some wiggle room.

Hero-U Kickstarter: Quest For Glory spiritual successor
Hurlshort replied to Hurlshort's topic in Computer and Console
The writing is definitely QFG writing. Lots of puns, slightly corny, but very charming. That's really all I'm interested in. edit: They got hit by a troll for $10k too. Geez, people need better hobbies. -
Master and Margarita is my favorite novel ever.

Whether Sarkeesian is a con artist or not. Try to keep up KP.
-
If a bunch of people give me money to do something, and they are happy with my progress on that thing, how is that a con?
-
Your definition of a con artist in regards to Kickstarter would seem to label most people as such. People change size and scope, miss release dates, and even close up shop regularly. I only see it as a con if they take the funds and run. There is no evidence of that with Sarkeesian, quite the opposite really, she has clearly used the investment to devote herself fully to the concepts of the kickstarter. The product does not look the way you want it too, but that doesn't really matter, since you didn't invest in it. If her investors were unhappy, then you'd have an actual case. As is, you have no ground to stand on and are just throwing out an unreasonable and unwarranted accusation. I was watching Going Clear last night, and there is a similar argument made about L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology. He was a delusional madman, sure, but if he was running a con, why would he devote his entire life to it? Why would he sit in a room with an e-meter for thousands of hours trying to expel thetans? It doesn't add up.

What about the one where he convinces the Scottish to rise up against the English? Was that Mad Max 1?
