Re: Batman 3

About Blake:

I think that thing with the Robin reveal at the end is being taken far too seriously. To me, that's just a little nod, like a joke from Nolan. It's mentioned and then quickly disposed with "Hey you should change your name to Robin!!" "Ah yeh whatever."

I thought the character fitted in well. For the whole movie, he is pretty much Robin. Just not in costume. And to me that plays so much stronger to what that movie is all about, with the rise against Bane and the others. Because all Bruce Wayne wanted, as he said in the first movie and even reflects in this one, was that he wanted to inspire people and wanted to say that anyone could be Batman. And so here then in this movie you have this regular guy, who's even less fortunate than Bruce was, being inspired by Batman and just being good to people, providing hope when there wasn't any, and just looking out for his fellow man. He goes as far as Batman without being in costume and I think that couldn't have been handled better to close that aspect of the trilogy in all honesty.

Is it the best movie ever? No. Is it the best of the trilogy. No. But is it a good action blockbuster? Absolutely.

Just got the internet installed here.

Christ! :shock:

I miss the days when I used to live in a cable area. I only got 10mb back then (and 'cos it was cable, it was usually pretty close to that) and it was still a lot faster than what I have now, literally miles away from from an exchange! :lol:

Also surprised that 9% of the country is even faster. I wonder what that percentage is based on, just home/domestic users, or ALL connections (in which case, if it's only leased line T1s etc that are in the 9% that are faster, then it suddenly gets a lot more impressive!

You know what’s so uncomfortable about this? It shows that perhaps one of the most evil men in history, was a human being. That, on occasion, he could be nice, even flirty. That’s not all. You want to see evil people as evil, screaming horrible stuff over a desk with 20 microphones with 20, 000 people saluting them. The evil is clear and recognizable then. This shows a completely different image, it scares you because that means that evil isn’t a stereotype, that evil is not recognizable, that evil could be anyone. It scares you because this shows that evil could be lurking inside anyone and you’ll never ever know. Maybe in you?

Re: Last Game/System/Peripheral You Bought

Nice Dreamcast find there. I also want to find a new one actually. Or Sega could just release a new console with backwards compatibility, that will also do for me.

I myself got The Witcher 2. From what I've played it's more my taste than Bethesda style RPG's I've noticed. The world is not as big but seems more "focused", detailed and alive. People going fishing early in the morning, others are picking berries in the forest and run for shelter when it starts raining, cats come out at night and not really during the day etc.
I also like the choices you make which are not as clearly good-evil.
And look who I found in the pub (Polish developers even) :

Re: Last Game/System/Peripheral You Bought

Don't even get me started on that. :lol: kotor 1 and 2 were building up to a plot suggesting that Revan was conquering the galaxy in order to save it from a far greater threat looming (serious Sith by blood as opposed to Sith following an ideal) that the Republic, corrupt and failing as it was stood no chance of surviving on it's own. It makes you think that Revan and Exile were going to converge at some point and fight that new conflict their own way, to help give the republic time to prepare. Unfortunately instead of getting a kotor 3 with a grand climax topping off the story we got another mmo in a genre that has far too many already. (Which as I understand it just does a "lawl 300 years laterz", blatantly skipping over the momentum the first two games established.) It's like if the star wars trilogy started with the death of the emperor and everything being all well and good in general, but still a few loose plot threads and a evil here and there. Leftovers. Nothing epic. kinda weak.

To KOTOR 2's credit though, I really have to applaud the depth of it's story. kreia is probably the most interesting character in the mythos, painting the force as an all enslaving entity that conscripts us all into it's web of service to do battle on it's behalf in destroying it's polar opposite. Going so far as to suggest that accepting the power of the force is a bargain in exchange for having your priorities and goals in life change to being a foot soldier in squashing the other side is pretty controversial, yet not entirely unlikely. Kotor 2 teaches the lesson that sometimes always trying to help people, even with the best of intentions, can sometimes weaken them in the grand scheme.

Re: Last Game/System/Peripheral You Bought

http://oi50.tinypic.com/2z56cmv.jpg

Picked up all but one of the Namco Museum releases for PS1 on Monday. Some really great games on these that aren't available anywhere else outside of Japan. Legend of the Valkyrie is excellent, and finally getting to play Baraduke was actually a bit of a dream come true (never thought I'd get to play it until I found out it was on one of these discs). And I never actually bothered much with Dig Dug and Sky Kid before, but both are about as fun as can be. Still checking out others on here too.
Really need to get vol. 4 eventually.

Also Gungriffon stuff:

Re: Anyone still write notes for playing a game?

In Yakuza I made notes about the hostesses' likes and dislikes so that I wouldn't give the "wrong" answer to questions I'd already faced. If anybody found those notes I think I'd shoot myself.

I also made notes of ongoing feuds in General Manager mode of SmackDown vs Raw 2006, as there was no way of checking this information while booking the card for the next show. Forgot to schedule another match between Triple H and Renee Dupree? Their 4-star feud is stricken from the game's memory; millions of pay-per-view buys lost.

Re: New Ryo Hazuki Statue from First4Figures.com

I'd always be interested in any stuff, no matter who made it, as long as it's high quality. Look at what those fangamer people did with the Mother franchise, none of the merch was "official" and so was always slyly named, but to most fans their stuff (especially the lovely sculptures by Camile Young) was considered as good if not better than anything "official".

Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

Just got back from a couple days spent at my mothers and I got a chance to break out the old NES and play some of the older games in my collection. I was mildly surprised that all of my games still worked. (after removing and re-inserting a couple times for a couple of them) I was much more surprised to see that my Zelda 1 and 2 game saves were still intact. :shock:

The first I tried was TMNT, mostly because I saw the AVGN review and wanted to try it again for old times sake. My gosh that game is hard. Not even so much the bosses, they were easily beat down with simple patterns. But those enemies. :mad: Often I found it was utterly impossible to get through without getting hit as they were going batshit before you even finished climbing up a ladder. Some of the jumps were supremely unforgiving and missing one meant being dumped into a bunch of badies who had all respawned in seconds.

Finally, the damn dam level was tougher than I remembered. You have to hump a bunch of bombs turtle style to deactivate them, which was probably the best part of the level. But the seaweed SUCKS. As difficult as the controls were, I noticed some mystical force suddenly pulled me right constantly while swimming through the maze of seaweed that was not present earlier. Next thing I know, I've saved the day but Splinter is caught and now I have to defeat the foot clan. I say FUCK Master Splinter, I'm playing Zelda.

Re: 2003 Members

I just got a real sense of just how long it's been. I was unable to sleep and watching some old videos I made, and came across Extraordinary (Link here, if you haven't seen it :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qpRRknV88I )

It's crazy because I made that when I first came here in 2003, and, thinking back to my thought processes when I made that video, everything in it already felt so old, it felt like we had already done everything in the games. It's just insane to think that it has already been 10 years since I first joined here and made this video... yet in another way, it feels like a whole different lifetime.

I just looked at my PM box, and I have a new PM, but my box is overflowing and I have all these old PMs from people who aren't here anymore like Yusuke and Odds and Ends/Riot on Broadway and I don't want to delete them. :-o

Re: Things that pissed you off

Breaking bad has gotten to the point where it just makes me feel awful and I don't really want to watch it anymore... well I have one episode left till I'm caught up but geez. From Season 3 finale onwards it's become more and more of a feel bad show.

So I guess Breaking Bad Season 5 episode 7 pissed me off today... or rather made me have a case of overwhelming sadness... so kudos to Breaking Bad for making me feel awful. I guess. :/

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

Well you will if you want their service. :lol:.

Absolutely this. When I'm out getting drunk, I always tip so I'll get seen quick-ish by the staff next time I'm up there. Same as when I drove a taxi. The tight-fisted customers (mostly) got absolutely no help from me helping them with their shopping etc...

Also, WTF is the deal with tips going into a big jar in some places? Surely it's a personal thing tipping someone? If some youngster who's working evenings/weekends etc. serves me my food well enough, I'd like them to have the money, not for it to be divided between all parties? And thus making each individual strive to be better if they want more money going to them. If they've been REALLY good (and if I've also been drinking), I strongly hint at them to put it straight into their own pocket and bypass "the jar", but then I am a bit of a cunt like that sometimes.

Re: Ni No Kuni

Meh, doubt i'll be getting it, namco has proven how shit they really are.

^^See, this exactly what I was talking about before.
It's not Namco.
Sure, you could go the snarky Ryudo route and say "whelp, they chose a shitty distribution company, hardy har," but that still places the blame on the distribution company.
Namco were responsible for localizing the game, translating it, and putting together this fantastic little package, all of which were done with player interest in mind. JRPG's aren't the popular quantity that they used to be, so not only was Namco Bandai taking a risk by even bringing the game over, but they were taking an even bigger risk in spicing it all up by creating such a nice LE (which couldn't have been cheap). They were admirably and honestly trying to create something great for RPG fans.
The taking of preorders and the final distribution of everything ought to be the simplest part of it all. It's done all the damn time with several thousand products every year, so I find it hard to fault Namco in having faith that the distribution company they hired would be able to take care of this relatively simple task.

If I go to Olive Garden, place my order, and for some reason it takes an hour for my food to finally come out, I don't blame the company itself. I blame the waiter for not getting the order in on time, not checking to see if it was being made, or whatever the problem may have been.
So if Namco could be faulted for anything, it would be for hiring the wrong waiter. Doesn't mean that they should have to take the blame, when all they really wanted to do was provide you with a tasty plate of fettuccine alfredo.

Dammit, I'm hungry now.

But yeah, fuck that waiter.
Namco and Olive Garden are still awesome.
