  2. My god, that was the best superhero movie I've seen. Granted, that is partly thanks to a certain female actor, otherwise Spiderman 1 would have taken the pot. Still, I've never actually seen Iron Man comics where he was working alone, it has always been either the Avengers or with whatever character Marvel decided to team him up with. Never alone, so I didn't have any actual opinion on the character. What I found interesting was the parallels the movie, intentionally or not, drew with Alpha Flight's Guardian and his birth story. The mentor turned ****, trying to retain the original plans to himself so the prototype wasn't used to anything unmoral, etc. I haven't ever read Stark's origin, so I don't know if the comparison was fair, but that is how I felt. I think it meshed well with old theme of needing life support and being an ex-jackass, heh. Well anyways, Robert Downey Jr, Guineth Paltrow, great narrative and superb animation and design gave this movie a well-earned big May! Also, certain muthafocka at the end was a total August for me!
  3. I hated bowling, pools was pretty decent. Still, there's that "running people over with a truck"-past time that I found the most preferable.
  4. Get out of here Stalker. Haruziobrau!
  5. Are you going to get a mod that removes bleeding and the need to eat next? What about one that gets rid of those annoying anomalies and radiation? HOMEWORLD!

  9. I don't know if I have read the same books, but Hobb is known for multi-leveled characters in all her series. I can't remember anyone who had a purely good or evil persona. Those who were initially perceived as good people could turn out to be prejudiced racists later on and you'd still have a ton of sympathy for them, evil characters had a smattering of twists to them and often good reasons, or at least ones justifiable to themselves to do their deeds. I agree that Hobb is hesitant to kill her characters, but I think that is an asset for the stories. The Martin comparison isn't quite right, since he writes on such a large scale, while Hobb is often concentrating on one or three main characters. I don't constant culling would serve the stories all that well.
  10. You will never have a day better than this one. It's all downhill from here. That was the best part of the day!

  14. I just can't wait now. That was superb! Thanks a lot.
  15. Funny that, most of my deaths seem to stem from the over-eager chain-spamming bastard of a co-op partner. Not that I don't do the occasional push. Jerkface.
  16. I don't get this "blandness" thing. Nobody has yet to see the game in motion. Who knows how colourful and vibrant it will be?
  17. I finally managed to reach the fifth level in Ikaruga. Me and my two lives. But goddamn, that game is pure love.
  18. Just like how a game about murdering people with baseball bats and handguns for speaking dirty to your lover, a game featuring an assassination of a judge because you don't agree with his views, a game about illegal whisky trafficking and killing because of protection money can have such elements, right? I'm writing about Mafia, if you didn't catch it yet. You can argue that the themes are entirely different and I'm writing way off-base, but I bet we can at least agree that they don't actually have to play a big part for the story to be awesome? Edit:This thread is so August that's it's not even funny.
  19. I'm at x18, and it is awesome! Granted, it doesn't look exactly stellar, compared to Agropom for instance, but damn it's atmospheric!
  20. Congratulations! You win a prize of...oh wait, you don't.
  21. I tried Stalker on my friend's monster rig and now hate my ichorous framerate. Well, anyhow, I started Homeworld 1(GOTY Edition) and it is glorious. I plan on playing through it and then continuing with the sequel. Sublime.
  22. How about 2 hours 30 minutes?
  23. What's with this...hell, happy belated birthday.
