Also pushing the term "good" I give you: Land of the Lost

I saw Call Of Cthulhu...it was pretty good. Looking forward to seeing The Whisperer in Darkness. And to add a trailer I haven't seen posted here for dissection ala the Dragonball one, I give you: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

I heard it was mediocre, if I remember the reviews correctly. I played a demo of it back when I played the demo of NWN2. I'm thinking the version I played was a demo and not the final game but it seemed like it could have been okay with some more work.. Was interested in it because they put Psionic classes in, but the menu was clunky and hard to navigate - which I've heard was the case in the finalized game. Never did get to a fight (hey, the menus were hard to navigate!) and I've heard that the way they handled them was problematic in terms of searching for loot on the battle screens.

Yes, the original is from 1956. The guy in the 1978 film who runs up to Donald Sutherland's car warning him that they're trying to take over only to be chased and hit by a car is actually the lead from the original film (Kevin McCarthy) and the scene itself an homage to the end of the 1956 film.

simply swap out party members when you need to I know I can and have, but I'm never happy with them. I keep going back and tinkering. I've spent several hours playing the game, and 9/10 of it has been creating characters.

Mine are in boxes...can I just link to some pictures of boxes?

Lets see, since last I posted here I've seen: The Spirit - terrible film, awful direction, no plot. One of the handful of films so bad I walked out on it, not because I can't take bad films but because it also committed the cardinal sin of being boring as well as bad. Hair Extensions - kinda creepy, in its way, but not as scary as I'd hoped it might be. The Ghoul - great old Boris Karloff film; one which apparently sent the UK censors wild at the time. Speed Racer - such a fun, kinetic film. Truly a pity it didn't find its audience, IMO. My Bloody Valentine 3D - nice use of 3d, effective slasher kinda disappointed in the end. Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans - for what it is, it was fun. But prequels where you know everything that HAS to happen can lack suspense, which this film does. Dr. Syn alias the Scarecrow - Disney's TV adaption of the Scarecrow of Rommeny Marsh story. Pretty fun and Patrick McGoohan (RIP) is always good. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - I'd not seen this version since I was very young; good to see it again. Very effective remake - shows that it can be done and be just as good as the original.

I still haven't been able to finish the game because I'm never happy with my party. :|

Eh...Hammett was better, IMO. Actually I found Chandler to be a big struggle to read, in general. Not a fan of his style.

*shock* howling1! ObTopic - I can't say I do a lot of meta-thinking in most RPG games; I roll with what it gives me. Yeah Severok's plan is stupid, but it was what the game gave me so I worked with it. But I think Irenicus, in general, worked better as a villain. Still haven't played much on SoZ; I've been sidetracked...

I finished it, but ultimately it didn't really feel like there was anything to it. Don't get me wrong, there was some neat stuff in it, but when I was done I basically felt like I'd probably never play it again. Also it was annoying having full towns following me around in luv/lust.

Most people wouldn't, although I guess if it was a job in a comic shop, he might be a shoe-in!

Yeah, we saw that not too long ago. It has a few almost-belly laughs, and is overall a cute movie, but it's not as funny as one might hope. But it's silly-entertaining. Yeah it was amusing; I enjoyed it but haven't really felt like seeing it again either

It was a neat game, but not as good as I'd hoped. Hopefully The Dark Spire will be more to my liking!

People looking for a job in the corporate world?

I got Etrian Odyssey 2, but I didn't like how it seemed to want to force me to have some of every job class to finish quests and move forward plus I got kinda bored with it.

w00t! Old school goodness! Hopefully my schedule will be freed up in March 09!

IIRC when they introduced the Speed Force concept they had West trying to escape the Speed Force and traveling back along his timeline until he became the lightning bolt that made his powers and using that energy drain on the speed force to put himself back in time. Or something. I wasn't the biggest Flash fan, and I haven't read the pertinent issues in years.

Didn't Wally West do the same thing? Become the Lightning Bolt that gave him his powers?

My point is that I (apparently wrongly) was interpreting the use of "legit" in quite a different way that you were, and in a way that was irrelevant to stats or builds or what have you. But since I seem to have wrongly read the relevant text I shall bow out of the discussion. I went the VATS headshot rout personally. Although I did get tired of seeing extreme mutant close up while I shot them repeatedly in the face.

I thought Josh's use of "legit" had to do with taking the shot and actually GETTING a headshot, as opposed to lining it up, having it look like a head shot but pull the trigger and get an arm or chest shot (or a miss entirely). Which I did a bunch of times, looked like a headshot when I pulled the trigger but either lack of character skill or movement of the enemy sent the shot elsewhere.

Just 58.4% which doesn't say much beyond I tend to watch trashier films than some of those that got listed. And there were a lot of modern dramas I skipped.

An intriguing idea. It also made me think that an immediate post-war Europe setting ala The Third Man could be interesting as a setting too.

It seemed to me that I was more accurate with sniper rifles outside of VATS, but I chalked it up to the fact that VATS pretty much seems to be a "fire the weapon until AP points were used." Which you could do with a sniper rifle, but the ideal use was to fire the rifle when using the scope. So my guess was that VATS didn't use the scope, so if I wanted the scope bonuses, I needed to do the scope manually (which as Josh said was usually sneaking to a position and then sniping unwitting subjects then switching to other weapons if I got spotted).

I imagine filling out any form that requires complete name would be tedious. I wonder what he considers his middle name? Is he casually known as Captain Combined?
