Well...at least they didn't pick Nick Cage.

Complaints against Bioshock 2 for its "lack of originality." In a world where Super Mario Galaxy 2 gets nominated for GOTY, lack of originality is no longer allowed to be a factor. Lack of originality does not exsist in a world where Nintendo has been making the same Zelda game since 1991.

Setting up a Facebook account takes all of about five minutes. When someone sends out an event invite to members of their friends list, those friends receive an email. I've just quoted you in saying that you asked your friend to send you an email. So since you have time to check email, take...

I like a variety of different music. Right now I am quite literally in love with Kanye West's new album. For such an disingenuous asshole, the guy is a genius artistically. Some of my other favorites are Jay Z, Bon Jovi, Three Days Grace, and Andre 3000. But like I said, I like all types...

Since a total of only twelve people watched that show, I figured it counted as unpopular.

I actually liked 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.' Heath Ledger's performance aside, 'The Dark Knight' is a severely overrated film. Xenosaga Episode 1 is one of my favorite games...in the history of ever.

Community.

Hands down, the twist/reveal at the ending of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Never before has a game solicited that amount of raw emotion from me. In my opinion, the poignancy of that moment has yet to be matched in a video game.

I was streaming an episode of 'The Tick' on Netflix one night, Batmanuel is teasing Arthur for something random in this episode. Arthur asks him, "Who made you the arbiter of cool?" It has stuck ever since.

A third person online shooter with heavy emphasis on cover based/strategic fire combat, set on fictional planets where humans battle aliens... So Bioware is developing Gears of War 3?
