I just watched it over the weekend, and I have to say that I'm not impressed. I liked how it started out, I liked Asgard, I liked the idea of the Frost Giants...but....the movie seemed to flatline from there. I'm not into comic books, so maybe I missed something? At the end of the movie...

Do you wear the apparel? Go to the conferences? Go to game stores to buy games? etc? Even though I like video games, I would NEVER wear the game apparel (t-shirts, etc) or go to the conferences and I even try to refrain from going into game stores in broad daylight. Let's face it, by the...

I feel the same way you do about the various games in the franchise.

Now they're making a whole new trilogy? And a reboot of the classic CE? That means that Halo will have at least 10 games by the time they're done. Don't get me wrong, Halo was fun and all but isn't it time to let sleeping dogs lie? What's the deal with the endless franchise milking in...

I don't know why, but when people start with the "good morning" when I get to work. It just seems so fake, and if there's one thing I can't stand, it's fake people.

I went to Oklahoma State. Graduated in 2008 with a BA in economics.

I see what you did there.

Whoops! I forgot to add Transformers to the list. I forked over $27 for the 3D, IMAX showing of that turd. First movie I've payed full price for in a long time. That series is played out, they need to hang it up.

I'll admit it: I'm just now starting to see some of this summer's blockbusters 'cause they're finally trickling down to the $1 theater. Ya, I'm too cheap to fork over $20 for my wife and I to see a movie when we can wait two months and see it for $2, but can you blame me? What I've seen so...

I like FB chat, it's useful.

Well, lets face it, gaming is marginalized, especially if you're in your 30's and up. It's just not socially acceptable. It's fine if you're teenager, but an adult...nah. By the time you're "of age" your interests should have grown beyond sitting slack-jawed on the couch playing useless games...

Oh, trust me, I've gotten "that look" before.

Meh, I'm not really looking for anyone. To be honest, I'm on my way out of gaming. It was cool when I was a kid, but now it's just lame, not to mention the stigma that comes with being 26, married, and still playing video games. Some gamers won't admit it, but it DOES affect how people perceive...

I think the Peggle/Farmville crowd speaks for itself. That's obviously an older demographic. I was mainly referring to the Xbox Live/PSN crowd.

all I ever hear in multi-player or co-op single-player are people that sound under the age of 15? I play a wide variety of games, from shooters to RTS, RPG's, etc. But I have yet to hear or talk to someone that sounds as old as myself (26). Where are all these thirty-somethings that supposedly...
