Quote from Puddy

I am watching community and I am laughing my ASS OFF. I thought it would be a really half-assed goofy and pointless show.But it's really something.

I know right, Troy and Abded crack me up so much... and Alison Brie

Not since 1968 has Russia put so much on hurt on the Czechs

Quote from Sentura

really fucking disappointed with the game mechanics. the cover system blows, any directional key sway and you remove yourself from instantly cover and die in seconds. scripted bullet time events happen and take ammo from your gun, so if you haven't reloaded you'll fail them automatically. the enemies are completely fucking obnoxious, falling to the ground after HEAD SHOTS or body shots, only to rise again seconds later like fucking zombies. i unloaded an entire rifle mag into this one guy's head WHILE HE WAS ON THE GROUND and moved on thinking he was dead, seconds later i die from him shooting me at point blank range. checkpoints are utter bullshit and too often require replays through major parts of areas. the idiotic idea that you can redeem yourself if you kill your attacker as long as you have at least 1 painkiller, except sometimes max may fall in a different direction so that the angle won't let you shoot your attacker, and there's no possibility to reload, AND there is no possibility to just skip it and die faster. painkillers are too rare, it's like finding legendary items in diablo 3. hah, just kidding, it's not that bad, but it's fucking close. sometimes for no reason you lose your weapons after cinematics. sometimes the screen effects blur or glare out enemies so that you effectively can't see them (may be deliberate, s'ok if it is, fucking immersion and all that). puzzles can be very fucking hard to follow, as can the general level/map flow since there's no real direction for the player.story is semi decent, nothing spectacular, i had expected better honestly. quotes are sometimes cliche to the point of cringing. on the definitive plus side, i have learned a lot of cultural stuff about brazil.

Underworld: Awakening - All style, very little substance. Extremely disappointing. I cared about none of the characters apart from Selene, there were too many humans with no personality. Big shift of style from Gothic Hungary to United States doesn't work. There's no real decent enemy, no elder vampires and to add insult to injury, it's only 1 hour 15 minutes long... the credits last about 10 minutes!! Bah.

Noomi Rapace not Naomi

Not sure what to make of this, it looks obviously technically brilliant but not sure about the magical flashy shit... maybe I'm just expecting something like Heavy Rain again.

Quote from Puddy

But I'm scared. What if it won't be ok?

Hold me.

What if it's like Prometheus?!

I have faith they will deliver, although I am not admittedly fond of the emphasis on combat, it made DS2 very frustrating.

Quote from Chimeray

Saw Aliens a couple months ago and found it pretty lackluster, James Cameron was written all over it.

loads of clichés, hollywood plot

Yes but that's the thing, Aliens was one of those films that first established that kind of gung-ho, action-packed witty/cringe-worthy dialogue that many many films have copied since (in inferior ways). People were expecting a direct sequel to Alien in the same slow-paced horror cinematic capture but they got something completely different. So as a result many people don't like Aliens... but then many people like Aliens and dislike Alien.. it's all down to what you like. Still, Aliens is a definite classic to it's predecessor in much the same way as Terminator 2 is to The Terminator.

I forgot to say, Noomi Rapace running around half-naked was hawt, regardless of all the blood and 'slime', got quite a body on her

Since you're all actively playing this, any chance someone could be a huge favour and take some screenshots of the ruined orthodox church in Arma II? I don't have the game and I need screenshots from multiple angles as reference. This is the one I mean;

Be very grateful!

Ideally I could do with some shots of the model itself but I don't know how you would do that...

A Fish Called Wanda: Classic British comedy, don't make 'em like they used to

Damn this is looking great, I much prefer the look of this to the new Bioshock which has a similar theme.

Damnit, 2D showing at 8:20pm and it's bloody packed, we had to sit at the front.. I have neck ache

Anyway;

It was good but it wasn't great, for me it seemed like it went too fast which is ridiculous when you consider it's two hours long. Some scenes could have been cut or re-arranged like

that daft scene where Charlie's character flirts with Idris Elba.. what was the point of that?

. Characters were boring and I agree totally that they should have been halfed. The storyline was just daft...

Quote

aliens making biological weapons?

and I was really disappointed with

Quote

the space jockeys.. I mean they're only a little larger than the humans... the one in Alien was massive!

. That ending... oh dear, after all we got I didn't expect that to happen.

Quote

"Sequel" then?

. Effects were very good but then I'd expect no less in a big-budget film in 2012...

It'd give it 7/10...

It's never clear in Aliens when Bishop gets his head ripped off either, I guess he can just function enough because all the data is in the brain area

20:28; Raiden in Pripyat?

Do we know what the fuck "Revengeance" means yet?

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, original trilogy; Wow, very very good... very interested to see how the remake can possibly be better than this masterpiece.

How did this slip under the radar? It's brilliant!
