    Magic at Escapist Expo

    Playing at the Expo was my first real introduction into MTG, and I have to say, it couldn't have gone better. After taking some steps to learn the basic rules the first day, I found myself with all the time in the world on Saturday (missed the morning panels due to sleeping in) and the...

    No Right Answer: Best Kevin Smith Film Ever

    Clerks II is not only my favorite Kevin Smith film, but a movie I just outright love. I could probably relate more to the original Clerks now that I've had actual work experience, but the sequel has that element of catharsis on a more universal level, allowing people from all walks of life to...

    No Right Answer: Worst Third Movie of a Series Ever

    Yeah, I'd have to agree that the overwrought drama of the third HP film made it my least favorite as well. A lot of Radcliffe's line readings were borderline comically bad, and the freeze frame ending was the stupidest thing I've seen in any of the HP movies. On the other hand, I generally...

    Re-Take The Cabin

    I think having the overused cliches rise up against their creators in the third act was a fairly effective conveyance of that very hole digging you mentioned. The one guy even gets killed by his dream scenario (the Merman), the equivalent of a filmmaker getting a chance at a dream project and...

    More Mail

    How neat that the clip for your pick (which is quite valid) would include the ACTUAL best V.B. character: BRICKFROG! I really should give Friendship is Magic a look, but I'm still catching up on Adventure Time, and I just started Doctor Who on Netflix (not to mention my family's rewatching of...

    The Big Picture: Found in Translation

    Meh, I don't really feel like looking through the rest of the comments to see if this was addressed, so I'll just ask: did you mean late 1980s in that first line? Seems like late 90s would make the anecdote a little after the fact. Apologies for commenting on such a great video with a nitpick...

    Escape to the Movies: The Road

    Epic thanks for citing Adaptation in your review. It and Ratatouille pretty much spell out my philosophy of film appreciation.

    Has anyone actually kept their Wii that has bought one?

    I still have mine, and use it (couple of times a week). I've been trying to beat Madworld and Zach & Wiki so I can decide whether or not to trade them in. I need to rent Super Paper Mario again so I can beat it, and I'm waiting for Klonoa to come out (for rent, I know it's in stores). I also use...

    Video games & time limits

    Friggin' Earthworm Jim! Has anyone ever beaten the underwater time trial in that glass bubble? I think I got it once, but it was on the game boy version, and I couldn't save afterwards.

    Best Written Stories in Gaming

    MGS2 had a great story, in my opinion (but then, I also loved 12 Oz. Mouse). I enjoy open games like Pokemon, because they allow us to imagine our own stories. Probably explains why there are so many web comics pertaining to it. Perhaps my favorite story is Paper Mario: The Thousand Year...

    Favourite SNES game ever?

    Best overall was Super Mario RPG, with Ardy Lightfoot winning the nostalgia category.

    Unskippable: Onimusha 3

    Seriously? After all that ruckus, that's how the cutscene ends. Now that would be the appropriate moment for a France surrendering joke. "Well hello there, Mr. Resiliant." "He must be really good at Super Bomberman."

    Unskippable: The Bouncer

    "You can't park here." "I didn't see any signs." "It's inside!" "...your inside." and yes, the puddies reference is just about the funniest thing ever. I'm actually glad they said it was power rangers afterwards; it's been a while for me too and I couldn't be sure.

    Unskippable: The Getaway

    I think this is the best one they've done since Eternal Sonata. Hilarious, though I think they dropped the ball at one point: "Where's my son, you fat bastard?" "IN MA BELLEH!"

    Atheism Vs. Anti-Theism

    I wish I had more time to look into this thread, as what I've read already has been very intriguing. Alas, I have a Biology test to study for (ironic? maybe) and as such must return to it later. So, I'll just say my piece now. I, like NewClassic, subscribe to the Southern Baptist denomination...
