S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow Of Chernobyl took over my life for a while. Though, interestingly, it gave a bit back - I didn't know a great deal about the Chernobyl disaster to start with, so I did a bit of research while I was starting up playing it. A few months later and I'm doing a physics...

As far as I've gathered after a quick google search, Anascape design sensors. It doesn't suprise me that something like this has come to light. The amount of licensing that goes into components of pretty much any electronic device are ridiculous, and some of it is a very weird grey area...

ln(2) / λ - this time it's nerdier! No More Villians - right, well, that's the plotline out of the window... Fail-o - tbh, halo might as well have been called this from the start. Matt Hoffman's pro knitting 2 Pro Evolution Croquet Tambourine Hero Super Monkey Ball -...

As I've said in all of these Wanted threads so far - the film doesn't really make any sense as it's really a mash of hollywood fabrication and spuriously-represented pieces from the original comic. So yeah, read the comic. It's awesome.

Max Payne, as far as I'm concerned, was more than just a fantastic game, it was a trendsetter. Game Developers started noticing that thick, intense plotlines should be a hell of a lot more integral to the over all experience, and most of the respectable big, high-budget games after MP1 started...

Honestly man, it's not I'm a comic fanboy who's just being arsy by saying they buggered it up because of a few changes. Oh no, what resulted was pretty much a completely different story. It's fairly true to the comic up until the whole 'assasin's fraternity' is mentioned, and then it jsut turns...

Honestly, I knew this film was gonna be utter bollocks when I heard the immortal line 'There appears to be an event happening' on the trailer. ORLY?

It's an average action movie. Crazy, mad, fairly brutal in places, but it has many stumbling blocks. At least, I would have said that if I hadn't read the comic a few years ago. It absolutely buggered the comic book's plotline - for a start, in the comic it's about a fraternity of...

I don't see how you can draw that comparison without reading the comic as well. As far as I'm concerned, it's a very accurate representation of the comic. Although some parts have been added and interpreted, it remains accurate. As far as 'film never as good as the book goes' - I personalyl...

Well, I wouldn't completely agree. Up until the 'loom of fate' (seriously, what the fuck?) the film stays loosely true to the comic. After then though, it just pisses it up the wall. But yeah, I fucking loved the comic too, has to be said though I really doubt the film could have been as...

Honestly man, read the comic book. It's amazing. The film absolutely buggered the plotline. It's really tempting to write out a list of all the ridiculous differences between the book and the film but I wouldn't want to spoil it, but just an example - instead of a fraternity of assassins who...

I have to say, I'm seeing a lot of positive response to the scriptwriting here that I personally feel is somewhat unfounded. There's no doubt that V's poetic, rather camp lines are the highlight of the script, but there are some terribly bad moments that are cheesy and completely transparent...
