All I think about is that one guy on the Bioware forums who perfectly predicted the opening, and how everyone at the time thought he was just bonkers.

I'm tempted to believe you, MovieBob, I really am. Frankly a lot of reviews sound like offended old men than legitimate criticism, and hell, William Fichtner single-handedly redeemed Drive Angry so I guess anything's possible in this crazy world. But it honestly sounds like you're...

Run away, preferably to another planet.

They're ignoring comic continuity for this reboot.

I'm really hoping that some of the older players in the Marvel Universe get some screen time: Exodus, High Evolutionary, etc.

No sense of humor. I can deal with smoking, but not chain-smoking. Lack of self-control. Weird-ass insecurities.

Final Fantasy XIII. Everything was a seed that could have become something great, yet ultimately didn't.

While it make us empathize with his sadness and anger, seeing it from a third-person point of view destroys the rationale that would justify his revenge. It could have gone down the Greek tragedy route (which also uses that point of view), but Hope isn't compelling enough to sell me on that...

Don't see how that is a problem. I don't know people who played Super Mario Bros. because of any personal connection with Peach. She's just an in-game abstract reason for why the "plot" exists at all. Because Samus is a protagonist and does things? Your logic is backwards. Traditionally...

So are you saying that the CoD franchise is in danger of oversaturation? If so, then you have my 100% agreement.

Yes. Not with my penis. None. None. Causal sex is a tricky beast. You have to come from the right mindset if you want anything more than momentary pleasure and subsequent emptiness. Yes. Oral sex is fun, but please brush your teeth afterwards.

I don't see how they are arguments anymore than just really simple positions. Among younger people, and by that I mean people 5-10 older than me, Position #1 is only acknowledged and Position #2 is a throwaway proposition. You'd think that believing "There is no intrinsic value" would have an...
