I've been reading "Something Happened" by Joseph Heller. It's certainly not INSANELY long but it isn't short either. It's quite dark and often existential.

Cashback. That movie was so incredibly awful that, frankly, it was embarrassing. It starts off sort of as a Fight Club pastiche then it pretty much turns into a complete cornfest. The plot is painfully uninteresting as well. It sort of starts like "oh this might be interesting" then halfway...

Final lyric to Dream Theater's Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence: "A journey to find the answers inside our illusive mind" That lyric and the way it's delivered has always given me chills.

I think some parts of The Suffering were pretty scary. Particularly when you go to Dr. Killjoy's mansion.

Oh my god I know what you mean. Played the demo and thought "oh that'll be fixed by launch day" and well.. it was not. Still an absolutely incredible game but yes that was annoying.

Well... methinks Seven Pounds with Will Smith was very, very sad. Just the tone throughout the whole movie is so melancholy; guilt, regret, and overwhelming depression basically became him. The conclusion though.. my god. Also I'd have to say, as a hardcore fan of Mass Effect, the conclusion...

I think their effeminacy is irritating but honestly that's not the worst part to me. It seems so often that they're extremely corny, particularly in LotR. I'm just glad there are no elves in A Song of Ice and Fire.

yeah I briefly skimmed the strategy guide and it said that a higher readiness rating makes some slight changes. Can't be anything significant though. To be honest though I actually think the ending is perfect and it certainly won't ever be forgotten but I just think there should be more of an...

Yep the main reason I chose control was because I didn't want to destroy EDI and the geth (considering I just fought my ass off to reunite the quarians with the geth on Rannoch). The endings are pretty much the same huh? I'm currently finishing another ME2 playthrough so that I can try to...

Yep that's the moment for me when my stomach turned upside down. Also, if I recall correctly, one of the first things Shepard says to Anderson when he ends up in the room with the bodies is "I feel like death" or something similar to that. It's very morbid the way he says it. Indoctrination...

Oh boy the night I finished ME3 (or morning rather) I didn't sleep a wink either. Final moments shook me to my core and honestly, in a way, it all was kind of disturbing and unsettling in its own special way.

Good point man. Funny how the connotation of the word "action" changes when in the context of movies and then video games.

In Mass Effect 2 when Shepard first arrives on the prison ship Purgatory, he meets the prison's warden. The warden demands that Shepard hand over all of his weapons and if the renegade dialogue option is chosen Shepard points his pistol at the warden and says one of the most badass things I've...

"Have you ever faced an Asari commando unit before? Few humans have." Matriarch Benezia says this in Mass Effect 1 when you're at Peak 15 on Noveria. Not really a deep, existential quote, but it has always stuck with me ever since I fell in love with Mass Effect in '07.
