Wow, this movie is shockingly bad. The movie is full of plot holes and it's completely out of character with the original Die Hard. The direction is awful, the actors look like they weren't actually in the same room when they talk to each other (which is possible, but still not excuse for such...

I'm a bit frightened that it's supposed to be all open source. Does that mean the Death Star will use Linux? sudo blowupalderaan

Everyone keeps comparing the 48 frame film to the frame rates in video games, but it's apples and oranges. A high frame rate in games produces a more natural look and motion. In movies, however, a 24fps version already shows a perfectly natural motion, and adding frames just offsets it. The...

I managed to see the movie in 48 frames, and I must admit that I didn't really like it. On paper, a higher frame rate sounds great: more=better, and all it does is provide a higher image clarity, right? Well, not exactly. First of all, yes, the image is stunningly clear, which is great. On...

Boss fights... in 2011. Give me a f*cking break. And the first one is beyond idiotic.

This always-online scheme will probably have the opposite its intended effect. Diablo 3 might end up the most pirated game of last few years if a cracked version means being able to play without an internet connection. It would actually mean that the pirated version is better than the retail...

Zomg, noone yet mentioned the shit d' jour: Duke Nukem Forever

I remember some people mentioned this as an argument why Dragon Age 2 was a good game. They would call people hypocritical if they thought DA2 was bad, or at least worse than the original, and say that there was no outrage over how ME2 changed a lot of things compared to ME1. The way I see...

I know that this is a minor detail in MovieBobs review, but it reminded me of a hypocrisy of most movie critics: If they make Penelope Cruz a stereotypical "temperamental latina chick" in a Pirates of the Carribean movie, it's idiotic, but when Woody Allen does it in Vicky Cristina Barcelona...

Well, it's midnight here. So... um... lovely weather we've been having. Ah, screw it. I've really been hoping I was gonna get out of the next workweek on account of the whole doomsday thing. :(

Finished. I'm also thinking on doing a similar research project for my masters thesis, I'm glad to see so many people willing to take their time to help out. Hope I get the same treatment :)

After finally playing the game, I can't help think of all the other "invasion fantasies" that some games have been putting forward in the past few years (World in conflict, CoD:MW2). I just can't understand the appeal of that kind of scenario. I can understand it in movies, if it's done well...

Hmmm... As someone who lives in Zagreb for the last 23 years, I had a different experience. I remember I bought a D&D starter set in 2001 or so, and that came with all the dice you needed (d4-d20). And there were a couple of stores in Zagreb which sold gaming dice in various shapes, sizes and...

I find it hilarious how much insecurity this thread provoked. :) OP, you're a genius. In particular, it's interesting how many people are trying to prove they're not gay BECAUSE of something. Like having a gay friend, kissing a man on the cheek, etc. If you need to prove you're straight to an...

I'd just like to vent my spleen on this whole issue. As a gamer in a country that does not have gamestop or similar shops that resell games, I'm becoming more and more frustrated by various developers and their schemes to profit from used game sales. My friends and I are collateral damage of the...
