More Mortal Instruments spoilers sort of

Completely disagree about DC vs. Marvel villains... DC often has villains based purely around elements. Like Flash's rogues. You basically have Batman's villains.. Superman's villains, other than Lex, are pretty meh. Darkseid is not as complex as Thanos. Thanos is simultaneously tragic and...

Dredd was fucking amazing. But god damn Karl Urban's face must have been sore for months after grimacing like that for an entire film. I'm still convinced they just told him to do a Clint Eastwood impression and then put a helmet on him. That voice was so Clint. The movie has made me want to...

The best example of this I can think of is actually from tv. How I Met Your Mother is not a perfect show, but it has done tragedy well. Specifically with the characters Marshall and Barney. Both of them are unreasonably happy (in their own ways), and seeing Marshall lose his dad or Barney...

Randy Couture being called a never-was is just.. that term doesn't seem to apply here, in my opinion. A never-was is, to me, more like someone who has been acting for a while and never made it big at all. Not someone who got too old for his day job and decided to do a shitty movie.

I heard the movie was getting bad reviews, but I waited for Bob's to decide if I would see it this weekend. I figured it's the kind of movie that, if it were good, Bob would love it. Unfortunately not the case. Not gonna see it this weekend, which is a commitment for me because I'll be unable to...

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die." That's Mel Brooks. In my opinion, best interpretation of comedy. The best comedy seems mean-spirited and cruel. It's at the expense of others. It shocks you, it hits you right down deep in the primal...

Pretty excited for this. I really enjoyed the first one, a hell of a lot more than I ever enjoyed the GTA games. I agree with Yahtzee on these games, Saints Row fully embraces the fact that if you give players an airplane, they'll skydive onto old ladies. GTA always seems intent on distracting...

Looks like a really effective way to take the pace from normal to holy-shit very quickly. I think it could be really fun.

Yeeaahh true. I only played it once, so I guess that shows it wasn't as good. As for the series comment, I do agree. Even the Halo games (which have been close in time and turned out to be damn similar games) I haven't bought just because of being Halo. I'm sceptical every time.

I think I automatically kind of share Yahtzee's view. The whole E3 thing comes off as kind of corny to me. I don't like to think of myself as a cynic, I just like to get my information more... plainly. If a game really looks good to me, it's not going to take a big demonstration to show that. I...

I really enjoyed CoD's upgrading elements in the multiplayer. It gets my favour. I haven't played a lot of games in multiplayer, essentially just Halo, CoD and a Battlefield or two. Played CS years ago and didn't care for it, and Team Fortress I haven't tried more than once.. so I can't...

It's almost gotten to the point where Halo and CoD are guilty pleasures for me. Sure, there are other games I've loved. I loved the hell out of Portal. But when half of the people on this site (or many similar sites) consistently feel the need to point out that Halo is not innovative, isn't...

If we consider Serenity to be the ending of Firefly, then fuck Serenity. They killed Wash. They motherfucking killed Wash. By they I mean Joss Whedon. Why did he make us watch Wash die? This was scarring and traumatic. Fallout 3 had a pretty meh ending. The whole story was pretty meh though...

Maybe I'm just an overly critical twat who can't have any fun, but I've never played a game that I couldn't come up with at least one criticism towards. This is what leads me to not really care when Yahtzee tears apart a game I've loved, because it's not like I'm sitting there playing it and...
