I still feel confused on why this movie is getting people excited, but here's an explanation by Movie Bob. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/8818-Who-Are-The-Guardians-of-the-Galaxy

Based on Pchan's List 1. Never Ending Games: I was happy when I reached the end of God Of War 3. After that I could then focus on playing its previous installments once they became available. But then the prequel God Of War Ascension happened during what became my annoyance with Preorder Season. With my sense of completion gone came the 2nd implosion to my PS3 Gaming Library where I sold off a ton of M rated games. 1.01 Multi-Player: I avoid most unless I'm hanging out with online friends. That would eventually be backed up by how much I hate GTA Online. GTA Online I could best some up as the evil version of PS Home. 2. Arcades: There was a decent Arcade here but it got replaced by Applebee's. There are still some Arcade Machines in the South Side Mall Movie Theater which are from the late 90s. There is or was also an Arcade area underneath a China Buffet. Very 80s looking. Arcades died out anyway due to how easy console gaming could finally keep up with graphics & eventually surpass them. 3. Limited Lives: I'm glad they're gone. I play video games to escape how much reality sucks. The only game I own with limited lives is The Original Steel Battalion on The Original Xbox. I'd end up with a list of how many times I died or was fired. Which would then lead to me erasing my save file so I wouldn't have to stare at it when I started over. 4. Console Controllers: I like all the buttons except for the Left & Right Clickers underneath the control sticks. There I would be in an intense moment where I'd have a strong grip on the controller.... Then *click* I'd press the hidden button I forgot about & probably die in the process. If only Emotiv & NeuroSky were the future right now. Things like Wii U's Touch Screen & Xbone's mandatory Kinect only make me glad I don't want those Consoles so far. 5. Spunkgargleweewee & Zombies: I hate real war FPSs. They take what should be Surreal & turn them into a poor re enactment of history or current events. Although I'm Okay with alternate history, as in it does something that is in fact surreal. The only good Zombie Games I ever played was Resident Evil 2 & 3 before Resident Evil 4. Since RE4 this franchise has become a generic 3rd person shooter with no sense of atmosphere that was made by camera angles. Dead Island's commercial looked promising but the actual game is intended for Online Multi-Player. You don't even die you just pass out & respawn somewhere nearby. Zombies in Saints Row The Third didn't make up the majority of the game play & as a result made them more bearable to be around. Then again its always funny to shoot a Zombie with the Genki Gun & watch the other Zombies attack the shot Zombies. Zombies can make a good video game. But without the emphasis on tragedy & the emphasis being on instead fast pace action there no point in them even being Zombies. It might as well be called Offline Multi-Player because you're only mowing down a bunch of people you don't care about. Creatures similar to Zombies are more fun to kill anyway when dealing with fantasy settings at least. When fighting Draugr in Skyrim or Hollow Men in Fable 3 I at least know I'm fighting a form of undead that was trained to kill. Where as a Zombie just tends to be just a civilian who is hungry & literally brain dead. 7. No Real Music Talk Anymore: I have nothing to really say about this other then it has become much more easier for games to license music into games instead of make their own. - My only rant after that is I've come to hate the use of Hard Drives in disc based console games. It use to be I could by lots of games on discs without having to worry about whether the console needed room for them all. This problem might have been caused by High Definition as the Wii didn't need a Hard Drive in order to play games. Now in most cases I just settle for Free Games through online subscription or Humble Bundle. Maybe if High Definition died we wouldn't need Hard Drives for disc based console games. Then the cost for AAA Games could go down to where they could be profitable again. And there be more room to then go back to making games that could fail financially instead of relying on franchises that need to pump out sequels. Until then it is plausible that the Indie Games could end up being more interesting in the long run. And the AAA Gaming Industry could die when that happens.

I bought the Sid Meier Bundle for $1. I didn't go for the $15 Bundle because Civilization 5 wasn't the Complete Version like 3 or 4. I'm kind of annoyed though since Civilization 4 wasn't an actual Complete Version. Instead it gave me all Civilization 4's DLC separately twice. Are the 3 extra Demo DLC or is Steam experiencing technical difficulties? And if they were Demo DLC why would I even need them since the other 3 wouldn't be Demo DLC of the same thing? I'm uncertain if I'll ever buy Civilization 5 now. Granted maybe when they release Civilization 6. But even then would it do the same thing Civilization 4 did by being bundled together instead of an Actual Complete Version? Or maybe Civilization 5 is somehow complete now & I just missed out on getting it for $15? - The Indie Bundle that replaced it though didn't grab my interest. No Steam Keys & from more than one Publisher. - Also some time ago I got the Overlord Weekly Bundle. I hope I enjoy it but after looking at Zero Punctuation's Review of Overlord 2 it kinda looks bad. Then again Yahtzee didn't like Brutal Legend either. And the whole point to why I even bought the Overlord Bundle was because it reminded me of Brutal Legend.

I guess it makes sense. Why else would they have claws if they didn't have a use for them? Still seems impractical though with such a body shape.

Looks like it stars Cyborg from Teen Titans, Some guy from Duck Dynasty, The Villain from Jumanji, & Jill Valentine from Resident Evil 1. And no zombies.... Hmm.... I'd be willing to try it.

PC / Console Video Games I can only say I'm thankful for video games because it kept me away from backyard wrestling. I know if I had grown up in any different kind of environment anything could've kept me from backyard wrestling. But for me there was no right crowd or even a different crowd. I grew up mostly in a small trailer park on a mountain / hill, miles away from a small village. The only 2 male teens my age wanted to backyard wrestle & get into other kinds of trouble where I live. One of them is now in jail for the unintended murder of some guy at a party. I have no reason to be thankful for people. Because the kind of people I could've been thankful for I didn't grow up with. Or I had no way to fit in with them at all. In either case I feel thankful for Video Games instead of people. Handheld / Mobile The only one I ever owned that I enjoyed was my Kevin Nash C Watch. I still own it but last time I gave it a new battery it was showing its age by the animation & sound not syncing up. I also owned a Game Boy Advance, but I couldn't help but feel it was half assed when compared to consoles. In fact I still find a lot of Handheld & now Mobile Gaming to be half assed. Especially when those games require touch screens. Phone Up until I moved I constantly hated phones. It seemed like a technology for people you know that were too lazy to meet you in person. That & since I had Internet over phone wires it would take away from Internet time. But it changed once I lived on my own & could get phone over Cable Wires. I enjoyed it for calling for delivery pizza. Though I now only use it for reminding my landlord(s) to pick up the rent or other boring things. In any case I refuse to own a Cell / Smart Phone. Social Sites Outside of Internet Forums I hate social sites. Technology for people who could care less about technology if it weren't a phone or some other form of keep track of "real people". Face Book had caused me a lot of heartache. I consider it the first step where my aunt's could exclude me from their real life. It also became a place for me to feel virtually awkward around a crush I had in my High School / GED Years who would eventually hate me. There was also dating websites but those never worked out for me. I was too afraid to talk to anyone I might be interested in. And it didn't help I had problems with my financial situation & apartment. Those 2 things really helped in my 2011 being insane as it was. I tried to make a local Meet Up group about atheism but I couldn't find anyone locally in my town. PS Home (& eventually MMOs) I enjoy these a lot. Its one thing to be represented by an image on a forum. But by an actual customizable character it just feels amazing. Micro-Transactions might be a problem but they usually weed out the people that want to be there from the ones that don't. Part of the reason as to why I'll be selling my copy of GTA 5 since I hate GTA Online. I am or may eventually switch from PS Home to ESO but that won't be until there is news of a PS4 Slim release. I'd preorder it right now if only PS4 didn't rely on 1080P HD. And if I have to buy a new TV it might as well be when 4K Ultra HD TVs come down in price. My life without Technology. I spend too much time at times brain storming, day dreaming, or having random thoughts. I feel the need to type it down but at times never the want. I don't have a real social life but when I do I have none of that silly mobile stuff to distract me. I enjoy my small talk if that's all it ever is.

Since no one has posted about this debate that happened last Tuesday I guess I might as well. But its a long debate. And if you just want a short answer from an atheist there's always TYT. But onto the actual debate its pretty long so don't say I didn't warn you or didn't notice the length in the bottom right.

I wouldn't worry about a useless device like Apple TV being compared to Gaming Consoles that have similar useless functions. I'm pretty certain Apple TV loses anyway once its compared to Smart TVs.

Looks like Falcon is in it.... Oh wait.... He is in it according to his wiki page too!

I was playing it a week or so ago when it finally released on PS Plus. The Racism didn't surprise be due to the fact I heard about it in previous spoilers. In fact I doubt Bioshock Infinite can really surprise me much. The Racism did surprise me though in the way it happened before I got to my mission objective. That & the whole false shepherd thing which I didn't know about until playing it. I still feel the need to get back into playing it. But don't feel the want to. The story lost my interest after going through a printing press. I'm at the statue where Comstock slays a serpent. Without anything amazing happening since Lucky Number 77 it just feels tedious. The only other Bioshock I've played was Bioshock 2. I never beat that either. I remember getting offended by the roller coaster & ended up stop playing right there. Which now that I think about it Bioshock seems to emphasis an exaggerated interpretation of the republican party. Not that they don't deserve it. But I don't feel the need to fight them at all. The republican party is usually wrong & they need to go away. That is all.

New Trailer And now it can be preordered! http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/preorder Although I probably won't as much as I want to since I I'd still have to buy a PS4 & maybe a new TV. The ability to play as any race in any alliance might really grabs my interest.

This is an example of what Nintendo's Star Fox should've been game play wise.

Too bad they aren't going to aim for an R rating that way it could've been an intriguing Horror Film & still have the same plot as the animated version plausibly.

A lot of M & T Rated Games need to remove this goofy sex(y) stuff. Every time I see them it makes me think the developers can't afford Internet for their on homes. This isn't to say that off camera sex events shouldn't happen. Minus QT Event, Ezio in Assassin's Creed 2, climbing into this girl's window he had a romantic bond with is probably the best a M Rated Game can do. Hell if they did something like that for Skyrim on the console I wouldn't want the PC version so bad. Because the best Skyrim can do without mods is have my spouse give me money & maybe a snack, then I'm back off to killing bandits.
