  • Euro 2012

    True, all matches were entertaining so far. Quality tournament. I'm just saying that as a team, they didn't impress. Good individual players though. Today, Spain and Italy were nice to see. Attractive game. I also liked Ireland and Kroatie, will versus skill.

  • Euro 2012

    Well no offence but so far none of the teams in group B impressed me. GER - POR was a very dull game. Probably not for the fans, but both teams didn't convince. Holland was really poor. No fight in them. Denmark didn't play good either, but atleast they know how to score. I think they were even more amazed then us that they won.

    I really hope POR goes out the first round. I hate that team.

    Badly written rant from 4chan or something similiar. Still entertaining though and it does have valid points. Don't read if you haven't finished the game yet:

  • Euro 2012

    Of course it's football! I choose soccer so that the Americans understand as well

    I will not discuss the first game since Marvin is going to watch it later. It was quite strange though

  • Euro 2012

    Don't know if there are any soccer fans here, didn't see a topic yet. Just finished watching the first half of Poland - Greece. The referee is either corrupt or a amateur and Greece is playing like crap.

    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

    If I remember correctly they first needed to hotwire him right?

  • Prometheus

    What Skacky said. Taste differs of course but calling this really bad or terrible is just silly. It isn't. Yes, it could have been better and yes, some stuff is incoherent. But overall it's a decent movie. Not the classic we hoped for but certainly not awful imo.

    It also seems that people have misinterpreted things.

    As stated above, it's not on LV-426. It's one of the space jockeys military installations where they create biological weapons. As always, the 'aliens' adept to there host. That's why we see different forms. Also, the ending refers to the original alien, but remember that Prometheus was meant to be the first of two movies. In the second we change the alien to the form we have come to love and sent it to the space jockeys to give them a piece of there own medicine. At least, that's what they stated in the original synopsis.

    Lots of questions do get answered. We get to see the space jockeys, we get to see the origin of the alien, we are given the reason why the Weyland corporation set out to find them and what would later evolve into the company's obsession. We also get to see the first generation of androids, the reason why the ships computer in Alien is called mother, etc.

    Also, the invitation was exactly a test. Because if we got smart enough to find them, we have become a threat. That's why the ship was headed for earth. The whole fate thing is a reference to our place in the universe and what we choose to believe in.

    The things that bothered me are how they started life on earth. I mean, why did he need to sacrifice himself? It was a gruesome and on logical death. There was no room for character development and some of the crew were mere canon fodder. It was also retarded that the the biology dude touched the 'cobra' and the flight crew seemed really happy to sacrifice themselves. It's also not clear on why the android infected the doctor and the fact that he was still able to function after he got ripped apart. Last but not least, if you do an abortion on yourself [cool scene btw] you shouldn't be able to run around like she did.

    Youme:

    You do relealise that it was supposed to be the Queen right? You see a reference to her in the installation, That's why she got an egg and the fucked up jaw.

    Sorry Puddy, I'm not with you.

    It should have helped if they ended with 'To be continued'.

    Oh well, perhaps I just read too much the last couple of years for me to be objective. Knowing the above probably elevated the experience for me

  • Prometheus

    I just came back. The camera work is amazing, beautiful shots and incredible set design. The acting is superb. It's a very intelligent sci fi movie and it also has great tension throughout the entire movie. Lots of questions get answered but even more get raised. I doubt it will become the classic that Alien is. But nevertheless, definitely worth your money.

    The only negatives for me are the script, which isn't bad but could be much better. Also, most characters are rather shallow. I give it a 8.5!

  • Diablo 3

    Again the EU servers are down. I'm sick of this shit. This is the fifth time in 2 weeks. It's the last time I buy a Blizzard online only game. Fuck you Blizzard! Seriously, FUCK YOU!
