Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (spoilers)
Dubird replied to Sledgstone's topic in Video Games
Yeah, Bastila could be very entertaining. Make sure you have her and the Twilik-what's-her-name in the same party for a while. That ends up just being funny. As for which class, I usually ended up with Guardian. Heavy melee fighter, and the the Force Jump is just awesome! Make sure to explore every part of all the planets, there's some interesting side quests here and there. -
So, finally got to see this tonight. And I was right, it was a fun big stompy robot summer movie. Choppy plot, somewhat forced cookie cutter characterization, AWESOME robot fight scenes! Unfortunatly, HSpoon knows just enough about nuclear physics to have trouble rationalizing some of the concepts in the movie, but I was heartily entertained, so it's all good.

Doctor Who: Peter Capaldi revealed as 12th Doctor
Dubird replied to Sledgstone's topic in Movies, TV & Books
This will definatly be interesting. Apparently he made a comment that he thinks the Doctor should say after regneeration: "Oh great, now I look like that wanker from Pompeii!"- 2 replies

I like having physical copies just because I like being able to hold them and look at them. Plus, if something goes wrong with my computer while I'm stuck without internet for a while (like the month after I moved to Texas), I still have games I can play. And Oblivion was awesome (the Knights of the Nine DLC was my favorite), and Skyrim is it's own awesomeness. Didn't care for Morrowind, simply because I got lost. A LOT. >< But whichever one you choose, make sure to check out the mods. TES IV and V have HUGE modding communities, with some really great story and location mods out there. That's the reason I'm still playing them!

The action scenes were just as improbable and just as awesome. Though, we didn't see the pig this time.

You know, I really don't think it mattered who was in that role. It's kinda spoilerish, but it didn't feel like her character did much except be sexy. So, I guess in that regard, yeah she worked.

So, just got back from seeing RED2. It was very entertaining, funny and exciting. A bit predictable in places, I can think of a couple of things that would've fixed that, but hey, it's a Bruce Willis action flick. Not quite as good as the original, but wasn't a carbon copy with the same jokes as the first, which was nice. Worth paying the money to go see in the theater.

Wow, memories! I do miss all the fun we got into. I guess everyone grew up and suddenly found themselves with no extra time. Damn you, real world! *shakes fist*

I think Sledge is secretly gluing hair to himself to perpetuate the fuzzy rumor.

still waiting for Bioshock Infinate to get to a price i can afford...*lesad*.....

I see your instruments, and raise you voices only.

Ah, a classic! Is it bad that I really wanted that to be the music for the end credits?

I started with Mister Rogers, and went on to Reading Rainbow and Bob Ross. And honestly, I don't have a lot of specific memories of Mister Rogers, I just remember him as this really nice that was everyone's friend, who encouraged imagination and creativity and being nice to each other. And Bob Ross was just fascinating to watch. He could take this white square and turn it into this beautiful artwork right in front of you and I just loved watching.

Ran across these, and so many good memories. Thought I'd share for those that grew up with these shows.

So, this was a movie-heavy weekend. Thought I'd share my impressions of them. Man of Steel: Excellent reboot. And it is a reboot/retelling of the Superman story, with some changes. The flashbacks were a little disconnecting at times, but they didn't break the storyline, which was good. General Zod was VERY well done, it's nice to see them actually give the villian proper motivation and character instead of being the cackling evil maniacal baddie. Defiantly worth seeing, another superhero movie done well. And honestly, as much as I loved Christopher Reeve as Superman, Henry Cavill does a very good job and I think they've finally hit on an actor that can bring Superman out of Reeve's shadow and carry it forward. The Great Gatsby: went to see this with parents-in-law for Father's Day. It's not my kind of movie, but I don't regret seeing it. Leonardo did an excellent job, and the cinemtagrophy was beautiful! Worth seeing once, not really going to see it again. This is the End: Comedians trying to survive the apocolypse! Honestly, not really my kind of comedy, but there was a lot there I enjoyed and the special effects were pretty damn good. I think Pinapple Express was a better movie, but I was definatly entertained, so if you're into that kind of humor, you'll probally enjoy it.

Is it sad that my first thought is "holy crap, this is going to make for some awesome Awkward Zombie comics!"

Sony Deals a Knock Out Blow to Xbox One at E3.
Dubird replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
Actually, for me, PC gaming is cheaper. If you get the highest end machine available at the time, it will last for about as many years as console for about the same. Now, granted, you'll probally end up upgrading your graphics card, but I've had this computer for about four years now, and the only thing I've upgraded was the graphics card because the old one died. And I'm still able to play the latest games. Granted, I can't always play in the highest graphics setting, but I honestly don't care about that. Since I also use my computer for work and other projects, it's something I have to keep upgraded for that anywas, so for me, it's easier and cheaper to game on PC vs. a console. Plus, it's really hard to impossible to mod games for console, and that's something I really enjoy playing with. Nothing wrong with console gaming; we have several older ones and a PS3, and games to go with them that we break out from time to time. But, for some people, PC gaming is actually cheaper. -
This is all DX's fault. If he hadn't revived this one, I would feel compelled to post this one HSpoon showed me. And while it's not anime, still a classic.

But that way, Microsoft doesn't get their cut. They would have to have system in place to inform the seller that X% of the sale will be taken out for Microsoft. I'm not sure how well that would go over.

Went to see Blazing Saddles on the big screen. Yay!
-
I thought it was better than the second one. Much less emo, though it was a little slower paced in parts. Still, lots of action, appropriate bits of comedy, and the final fight was awesome! Plus, Ben Kingsley made a great villian.

Windows 8 might be saved and changed by Windows Blue
Dubird replied to Sledgstone's topic in Science & Technology
Windows 8 looks like it was developed for touch-screen computers and tablets. Which is good for that, just not so good for those of us that don't have a touch-screen. -
Does antibacterial soap cause more harm than good?
Dubird replied to Sledgstone's topic in News Column
The common theory about it being harmful is that while it does kill bacteria, it makes surviving bacteria much stronger and resistant. -
EA Secures Exclusive Rights to Make Star Wars Games
Dubird replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
TOR is perfectly playable without the cartel coins. Granted, I don't play any of the group parts myself, I'm just trying to work though the main stories, but the cartel coins I have from being subscribed for a while are still sitting there because there was very little I actually wanted to get for customization.
