Yes. Yes to all of it. As another huge Godzilla fan, I am ambivalent at best about this movie. Part of it is from being burned in '98, part is being burned on Tranformers, and part of it is the American aspect of it, but overall, I look forward to it, but not like Pacific Rim.

Seriously though, does anyone know where or what Tim Langdell is doing these days? This reeks of him so badly, it makes you wonder...

I just played through Human Revolutions with this in mind. I tried very hard not to kill anyone, and use non-lethals only. I talked my way out of situations and snuck around like a boss, just to preserve the lives of the security guards, cops, and even gang members. At one point did I pull out...

As someone who was picked on a lot in grade school and a bit in Highschool, I can tell you who the bully and victim are. Which one grabbed the other by the collar of the shirt? Which one was smirking through most of his interview? Which one had his friends surround the other? Which one's friend...

Best trailer I've seen since I first saw Gears of War's Madworld trailer

Okay. I think you missed my point here. To reiterate. 1) Fine. nunchucks aren't in the game. It was an example. A dagger plays completely different than a mace. Which plays different than a shortsword. Which plays different from a longsword. Face it. With a mace, you want big, heavy strokes...

*Begin rant* More proof that things are changing for the sake of changing. A fe wpoints, because I don't feel like fighting against a lost cause at this point. 1) Different weapons have different styles. Nunchucks are one handed. Do they work the same as a Short Sword? No. 2) Leveling by...

My entire point is that The Elder Scrolls series has been about letting people choose how to play. If I want to throw myself into reading all of the books in Tamriel, I can choose to. You don't have to, but lots of people will. By streamlining and catering to the masses, they'll spend less time...

That's pretty much the point. Catering to the minority. The land of Tamriel has a rich, storied history, which is represented in small parts by each game. By "streamlining" gameplay, why should you stop and read one of the books on an NPC's shelf? Why not just go, sword and frostbolt blazing and...

Why do major developers insist on watering down their games? Classes help you figure out how you were going to play. Spellsword, Thief, Mage, Warrior, Barbarian, all good choices. And more! Cutting down skills just further narrows how people will play. The great thing about Morrowind over...

Let's see: Dorsk 81 TK pushed Daala's fleet several light years away from Yavin, with the help of about 8-10 other apprentices and died doing it; Corran Horn has weak TK but can absorb energy like blasters, heat, etc and redirect it INTO TK, force illusions, etc; Luke Skywalker and Kyp Durron...

I will bet you Five I-drug dollars that the kids WERE high when listening to that crap. I listened to a bit before YouTube stopped, and the only thing I noticed was some eye movement, like REM but awake. I guess if you're high, that would be awesome? I don't know.

In Windsor, Ontario, there was a radio station called 106.7 The Drive. They played hits from the 70's, 80's and 90's, but they had a far worse fate than yours. They switched to a.....country music station, and then a top hits station, as was mentioned..... Poor bastards.

Okay, looked some stuff up: "In fact, a number of Japanese commentators have chosen to describe Anime as 'mukokuseki', meaning 'stateless' or essentially without a national identity." "To [a pair of commentators] this deliberate de-Japanizing of characters is in keeping with their view of...

Point of order: Captain America was not a founding member of the Avengers, he was actually discovered by them after they had formed. The Hulk was a founding member though, however that works out. UNLESS! You mean the Ultimate Universe, then yeah, sure, what the hey. Also, nerdgasm just from...
