    The Last Game You Finished

    Yeah I think you may be wrong on your spoiler but it's an interesting idea. http://au.faqs.ign.com/articles/698/698416p1.html

    So um...What was so bad about Final Fantasy XIII?

    Terrible characters. Terrible gameplay. Still haven't finished it. Gone back and replayed FF7 twice since ff13 came out.

    Poll: Is pirating old games morally permissable?

    I stopped pirating games when I found myself holding down a well paying 9-5 job. But then I found I couldn't find a copy of SimCity 2000 or Conquest of the New World anywhere. So I downloaded them. So abandonware I'm okay with pirating. Stuff like X-Com or Zelda OoT that is still...

    Why do people love Citizen Kane?

    Because the story is about the journey of maturing from boy to man. Without it Kubrick just says people can't be changed whereas the book says the exact opposite.

    Why do people love Citizen Kane?

    And the new testament is a little different if Jesus isn't nailed to the cross. The fact is Kubrick knew of the final chapter and chose to ignore it.

    Why do people love Citizen Kane?

    It may be a little overrated but it's still a very good movie. So is Fight Club. A Clockwork Orange is also very good but loses out by omitting the 21st chapter which drastically alters the end of the story. Eyes Wide Shut? Meh. Kubrick's worst by a long way.

    The Things You Do For a Social Life...

    I'm sorry but who doesn't shower every morning or after sport or exercise? That isn't trying to fit in. That's self respect.

    Movies you found were incredibly hard to watch

    I take the OP to mean movies that made me squirm, not just bad movies. I've seen a lot of depressing movies, some of which were just pointless and depressing, but many that really touched me. Any gore porn or torture porn I won't watch. So I haven't bothered watching Hostel or Saw or that one...

    CoD:MW vs MoH

    What I'm getting at is all these games take place in a realistic setting and I'm happy for them to be works of fiction but there is a limit to how much you can get away with. Nuclear devices being set off by terrorists I can go with. Terrorist attacks on airports, way too believable. Russia...

    CoD:MW vs MoH

    I was out at the mall at lunchtime and I saw the CoD:MW3 trailer being shown on a display and it had navy seals running around London, Paris, NY(?). It got me wondering about the obsession some people have with the USA being invaded of all things. Resistance 2, Homefront, CoD:MW2... there are...

    To all the Europeans and Aussie's on this forum...

    And not even on the list for total crimes. With 1/15th of the population of the USA you'd think we could manage up at least 800,000. Poor going Australia.

    To all the Europeans and Aussie's on this forum...

    As an Australian I can say that guns just aren't in our culture. That's why we all rushed and handed in our guns in 1997. It was free money for old guns that we'd inherited from an uncle or father who'd been a farmer or hunter or brought it home from national service, etc. We just didn't want or...
