  1. Alien Swarm It's a free game released by the modders Valve hired to make L4D. It's extremely fun and anybody that wants to play with me can hit me up on steam. Lucandrake
  2. So whatever happened to my character? Last I remember reading up on him he was fighting Robert, then I think that scene never flourished. Is there any way I can become a "fan" like I would with facebook?
  3. Have you ever smelled heaven, because that's the only scent I ever release from my body.
  4. I watched a Cam of The Last Airbender... Skimmed through most of the movie, my ears started to bleed in the middle of the conversations (UNG, HEY UNG, YOUR THE AHVATAR UNG), not to mention the ridiculous dialogue. In the last scene with the princess she says "I'm scared" because she's supposed to sacrifice herself for the moon and shit, as she says those 2 words you hear Microsoft Sam pop in replacing her words (M. Night said her performance seemed too robotic so he wanted to dub in someone else, that or the actors really do perform that way). It took me 30 minutes to download this movie, and even though I have no realistic bandwidth cap it still felt like a rip off. UNG (not AANG) is fucking stupid. The one in the movie anyways, AANG in the cartoon was fun loving and constantly in battle with himself over the "fate" of the world, however tough the struggles get he always had a light of hope in his eyes and a character that makes you want to follow him (he's the fucking avatar, if he ain't doing that, he doing it wrong). UNG however (I can't get over the fucking pronunciation, as if it wasn't enough with the white washing they went ahead and deliberately made fun of the pronunciation in the script) cries like a fucking 5 year old wondering why his mom's tits haven't been surgically implanted into his mouth yet. Then he proceeds to do a stunt or two while touting friendship and shit again only to whine about him being the AHVATAR (Yes, they pronounce it that way). After the above scene is said and done, open your notebooks because holy shit its story time. Get ready to have 3-5 paragraphs of shit shoved down your throat, and in some scenes it wont be just that. It'll be an entire book, a long with a side story that will be explored in full detail. Nigga Zuku (I can't believe this fagot is Zuku and not the fucking vampire, the vampire aesthetically speaking actually fucking looks like Zuku from the cartoon) cries even more than UNG, and while that's fine and dandy (Zuku was the most emotional of the 5 children in the cartoon) it's also fucking lame. While he was emotional, he didn't join UNG in a "find your mom's tits" contest. His scar is also not present. The cartoon makes sure you see its there, it makes sure you're disgusted by it, and it makes sure that it is in plain sight (even in the scenes where he wears robes, the cartoon prefers to show you the left side of his face). Movie however says no, that's not how I want it, I want him to look pretty. The sad part of the movie is, that even with all the exposition, they still manage to forget to explain things, or create entirely new plot holes that create pits worthy of earthquakes when compared to the minor things the cartoon did (and could get away with). Another thing the movie loves to do is sporadically induce a fight scene. Leaves you wondering the purpose of the fight scene, and then gives you the finger as it goes back to robot given dialogue. Watch this movie if you plan on enjoy the soundtrack, that's the only thing worthy of praise in the entirety of the thing. Fuck you M.Shit.Shitmelon. That's how I'm pronouncing your name from now on bitch.
  5. Four Rooms I can't stop laughing at this film, although it hurts me to see Tim Roth play a bitch character, the outcomes are all hilarious. The Spanish family in the 3rd act made me spill milk I drank after watching the film, and the intro witch orgy was awesome. It all feels like a witty acme cartoon made for adults. Go watch, now.
  6. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus I have a ton of mixed feelings on this movie, I feel like I'll have to watch it again to give any input, the film looks beautiful however.
  7. I couldn't resist the urge the ask >.<.
  8. This is on the level of audio-surf in terms of an indie title, some people will never forget it, others will enjoy the brief time they play with it, and most will never even hear about it until the accidentally stumble upon it (today I met someone that just recently discovered audio-surf existed).
  9. Yes, it's fucking awesome. Try out the demo if you're unsure about it, but its one of those games you'll go back too every now and again to waste time.
  10. Uncharted Drake's Fortune This entire game has felt like a chore. I'm up to the Jet ski part right now, and its one of the worst game mechanics I've ever seen. The point of a Jet ski is to go fast, but the game forces you to halt and stay still, while you shoot down enemies, otherwise while you go through the area the enemies will shoot you down. Even if you wanted to move and shoot at the same time, you couldn't, the game doesn't let you. Every time an enemy comes out on the screen, prepare to wait until tomorrow so that they can die. It's extremely sad when the best weapon in the game is the pistol. The AK takes out a guy in about 14 bullets, the shotgun 2 (but you only get 6 when you pick one up, which is probably 2 shotguns a fire fight of 10-15 baddies), and the recoil on both is ridiculous. The only gun that doesn't recoil, is the pistol, which takes 4 bullets to kill a baddie, unless you hit the head (which is required in some fights due to the 40 tank armored enemies on the screen at once), then it only takes 1. I keep telling myself eventually the game will give me better weapons, but it doesn't. They get worse, you can pick up an Uzi, has more recoil than the AK and needs more bullets than the AK to kill a dude. But at the same time, you probably only find 1-2 clips of those in a firefight. You can also find a revolver, takes down a guy with 2 shots, but its the same deal as the shot (and again, more recoil than the shotgun). The best gun in the game is the Grenade Launcher, you find one every 3-4 firefights, and you'll know its there too because the second you turn a corner into said firefight you'll get one shot to death by the guy holding it. The puzzles are fun but a nuisance since most of the time you're going to have to climb to finish them, the game forgets the button commands sometimes while you do this (it really does forget to jump when you tell it too) causing random deaths that do nothing but frustrate you even more. Just about the only fun part of the game that I've experienced so far was the car chase. That shit felt like it topped the car chase in the latest Indiana Jones movie. I do nothing but hope that the "Game of the Year" that was part 2, is nothing like this. I'm just about ready to throw the disc in my toaster and eat that shit for breakfast.
  11. I will say the PC games all looked beautiful. They really are running at 60 FPS 1280X1040 resolution. But the lag, holy shit the lag makes it unplayable (and not by much either, pisses me off). Maybe house's with a faster connection (I'm running the minimum 5MBPS) will get a sweet deal (I hear Super High Speed internet is the new fad).
  12. It sucks, the lag is almost bearable (its great for turn based games) but for anything else, its shit. Felt like my mouse was broken.
  13. I enjoyed Kick-Ass UNTIL the last 35 minutes of the movie. The plot stays the same as the comic, but their execution went from attempted witty dialogue with a few fights here and there to pure ARNOLD action.
  14. I think it has more to do with acknowledgement than anything else. When an insult is thrown at one person the person with the wittier tongue climbs the steps in the "social ladder". In that essence they're getting to be "known" amongst their peers. It can be brought about from fear as well, without that climb a lot of people will feel left out (giving more reason to survival of the fittest). Maybe it's just a mechanism for coping with the group that some people bring about (those doing it without their conscious being effected). Greed can also be the reason behind it, going back to the example of you having a good time then only to have someone else shit all over it, they see you having fun, and so they themselves want it as well. A lot of the time the only conclusion they come up with (whether it be consciously or not) is that by destroying your enjoyment they gain theirs.
  15. I learned my lesson about over thinking a long time ago. Her name was Melissa, and never again .
  16. Watching the entire Indiana Jones series for the first time. I can't get my mind off the Star War's universe though, the Sound Effects and Harrison Ford still make me feel like its Han Solo playing the part.
  17. Ya'll want a Single sucked hard. I loved the tune but once the lyrics kicked in and I realized what they were saying I didn't even bother with the rest of their shit. I just have their Greatist Hits in my iPod, can't even bother with a full album of their stuff.
  18. The most handsome is not even on that list. For shame.
  19. Naughty bear, that other game sounds like boring.
  20. Just finished reading the third volume, I'm digging the book though the art style makes it incredibly hard to keep up with who is who at times. I also can spot some things the film already did better than the books just by the trailer (the fight in the second volume was seriously lackluster). While I do crave explanations towards all the powers (and origins) I can see how the comic works 10 times better without it. I expected a ton of more video game references, but instead I got legitimate conversation. Nothing feels forced and it all feels like when I'm out with my friends talking shit most of the time (at the same time giving back story or throwing a funny joke). I wonder how the video game will turn out, I know it'll look beautiful because Paul Robertson is doing the artwork for it. K'dash posted a video of his earlier work here a long time ago and it's pretty hard to forget it (Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight). I'll put it up here again a long side a video of the game as well.
  21. It's not roasted, I can replace the fan as well, I just don't know whether or not its actually worth saving (this is the 2nd time this card has given me issues in the past few months since its purchase). Also my PC auto-shuts before over burning anything, all my parts should be safe .
  22. This is the first time this has happened to me, but it's also the first time I used my money to purchase one. I want to know, will this happen frequently with my abnormal gaming hours? If so, is there a way to prevent it from my future purchases? I don't want to throw down money every 3 months for another video card.
  23. I want to see this movie, has anyone read the comics?
