FTL

wow... This was actually pretty fun. Bought it on sale from steam (like $6)

RIGHT?!

I just played a game of it this morning. Still can't beat the final boss even on easy but I got to the second battle finally...

Not a fan of Tarantino at all but I'll probably check this out at some point

As someone who isn't expecting much maybe it'll surprise me

Just played a demo for an indie game called Teleglitch

LOTS of fun

So much tension just walking through a door or around a corner

Not really knowing anything about the story (if there really is one) and not caring regardless

Reminds me of some old school games I used to play

I just got back from The Hobbit

I happened to watch it in 3D because my uncle had never seen a 3D movie before and wanted to try it and I was pleasantly surprised

The 3D effects didn't feel gimmicky or forced like most movies except in like one part but I didn't mind

The movie itself was awesome as expected

The beginning was kind of...ehhh I didn't really like the prologue stuff and felt it tied in badly but once the movie really got going it was fine

My favorite thing was the goblins

I was extremely pleased that they looked very different from orcs as that is something I was concerned about

I'd say they nailed it

Can't wait for part 2!

I never played DK64 but I am very surprised to hear that you put it above Banjo Kazooie

This is how wars start

And.. 6 months ago? I just played, Ticket to Ride (board Game) holy hell thats addicting with a group of friends and tons of beer.

I am in a similar boat but with Settlers of Catan

Just finished watching The Sunset Limited

I liked it a lot

I know a lot of people find these kinds of movies boring

"Oh they're just talking in a room nothing happens" but for some reason those kinds of movies really get me

I loved Phonebooth and 12 Angry Men and The Sunset Limited is right up there with them

Re: Starship Troopers

I don't understand why we can't appreciate both the book and the movie for what they are :(

Re: Hurt Locker

Huh really? Did you see Restrepo? If so what did you think of that one?

You did not just call Doc "the professor"

Jirio Dreams of Sushi

Its a documentary... And I highly recommend it.

I thought about watching that

Did you like it a lot?

Well, just to note, its in japanese (english subbed) and its about an 85 year old sushi cheff,that won a 3 star michllin(sp) award. His resturant seats only 10, and costs $300+. Its basically a documentary, of what they do, and, in some sense, how they got where they are today. This guy... My god. if he had come to america, he could have done anything.

I used to watch quite a bit of subbed anime, not a problem.

Snow white and the huntsman. Two hours of my life I'll never get back...

I know right?

It had some small potential in certain areas but those were totally overshadowed by...the movie...

I can only say that I didn't regret it so much because I had reduced price tickets

Hunger Games. The only redeeming factor was the fact that it felt like it stole four hours of my life, but in reality it only stole two and a half. So there's that...

Really? Everyone always tells me how amazing it is when I ask

Jirio Dreams of Sushi

Its a documentary... And I highly recommend it.

What I find interesting is that it wasn't even the first alien

The video I watched on youtube showed a close up of that mural in the one room and pointed out that an alien is depicted there

So yeah what we saw is not the first alien and it's not the one Ripley & Co encounter

I'm thinking that there is going to be a sequel to Prometheus to really tie together the "prequel" story to the Alien franchise

That didn't bother me

That seemed real tbh

Blind faith is blind faith and if you've got it you'll hold onto it for as long as you possibly can

I don't think they even attempted to answer them

If they did it went completely over my head

Didnt get the story or what they were trying to say.

I dunno about meaningful messages but I found a youtube video that breaks down the movie and does a pretty good job of explaining the things I didn't get

Like you know the vats? I thought the snake alien was in one of them

But it turns out the black goo stuff IS the alien basically

It landed on the worms (if you remember seeing them) and mutated them into the snake alien we see later

I dunno maybe that seemed obvious to some people but I needed that explained to me

I can link the video if you want

It was...alright

I think it looked nice

Not much happened in it though

I just finished Prometheus and was confused about 85% of the time

I actually attempted to google "didn't understand prometheus" to see if there were any sites out there that could explain what the hell went on in that movie

As I was typing it in I got to "didn't u" and google autofilled the rest

I was highly amused by that and just thought I'd share

Yeeeah!

Season 3 was actually kind of...meh IMO.

I think the show got off track. But season 4 opens with a bang and just keeps going.

I think you'll enjoy it a lot. Catch up and then watch season 5 as it airs on tv right now so you can discuss it with us in the TV forum!

I watched 28 Days Later yesterday

Definitely one of the better zombie movies out there

Parts of movies?

I hated the ending for The Grey

The rest of the movie was awesome but the ending was really lame IMO

I wont spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet though

I thought it was ok but I definitely hated the ending

speaking of drinking one of my favorite youtubers said something worthy of quoting recently

Take a couple shots

You'll get over it
