Nah man, FFVII, VIII and even IX had some really well written characters. X had retarded characters in a good story, everything since has been unmitigated SHIT. Wait... Final Fantasy is retarded. i dunno, even in FFX Auron was a pretty awesome character/story arc. Tidus was ridiculously stupid though.

Im unfamiliar with Parks n' Rec....what exactly is "cringe comedy"....like shock laughs?

yes yes YES thank god someone fucking made this and called out their hollow bullshit Most of Hollywood culture is garbage anyway i guess so....i mean i don't usually have a bone to pick but that PSA was so unbelievably shallow and devoid of substance....have a plan.....what plan? what plan? ARGHHHH head asplode

still on Dark Souls...Bed of Chaos is a huge B****. Anyone play Assassin's Creed III? Thoughts? If I loved II and Brotherhood, Im prolly gonna like this one, yes? I just need one more game to enjoy before work starts again.. lol...reminds me of people talking about the main guy in FFXIII....ive never played it, but apparently he's the most idiotic character in fiction history.

quick semi=related question, Ive been offered a free month re-subscription to netflix....anyone else take up on this? Are the X-Files still streaming? They damn well better be. If anyone could PM me this information, I'd greatly appreciate it.

NYE at a friendly house party is unbeatable.

word, but, since I haven't played ME3, shouldn't I logically hate the end to ME2 because it was essentially a "good job but fuck off and buy the next one or the Arrival DLC for a meaningful conclusion"? Yet I love that game.

I thought the ending was quite awesome until the little boy appeared (and the credits scene was so cheesy). But people are forgetting how awesome the rest of the game was, because of all the controversy. But I've already spent so much energy defending it... so fuck it. Whiners gonna whine. What I've learned from this, is that most the gaming community is bunch of pathetic entitled little babies. shit, most of the time I play games the ending is about 10% of the overall experience...by the end of a game Im just waiting to see if I get any extra goodies at the end or next playthrough. I understand people want a good narrative, but chrissakes what about the gameplay that made you love it in the first place?

hmm...i hope you weren't implying me.... Django had some hilarious parts, some tension...but I tend to focus on all the bad simply because I want Tarantino to hit another one out of the park...but at some point i really have to sit back and be honest with myself that I overall didn't feel like it was worth a 10 dollar experience. I think (or at least I hope) this is why critics always sound bitchy, because it's much easier to remember what went wrong with a movie than what went right...especially if the wrongs outweigh the rights. I think Tarantino is capable of amazing filmmaking, but he needs to double down and "professionalize", so to speak....trust and rely more on the team working around him to help tighten up his mental imagery into something palatable to a viewing audience.

Dark Souls....and I just beat fucking Ornstein and Smough MUAHAHAHAHAHA i was so proud of myself I had to post this in two different threads

hmm....the jew bear was pretty fucking awful....i might go with you on that.

Jackie Brown was "meh" for me. basically my breakdown of QT stuff is as follows: Amazing- Inglorious Basterds, Pulp Fiction Tolerable-Resevoir Dogs, Jackie Brown Delving into the shittier side-Everything else.

What is it about Leo that made something crazy? Enlighten us! Did you see the film? SPOILERS yup...I was pretty damn impressed that he kept character through all that.....ive been a lukewarm fan of Dicaprio's, but after hearing that I'm straight up impressed. Shit is professional.......though I really doubt for legal reasons that they let Dicaprio smear his blood all over Washington...seems like a really shady way to go. but yeah, the movie had some good parts, but overall it overindulged in the shit ive said in previous threads that really hurts Tarantino's movies....overly long "shock" scenes, ridiculous and weak editing...it lacked those incredibly intense dialogue scenes that made Inglorious Basterds my favorite QT film...there were some attempts to replicate that movie magic, but they failed....im convinced its far more due to the screenplay than the actors (all of whom were fantastic). I really like Waltz as an actor, but I felt he came off waaaaaay too campy. He had a good character, but it was ruined/softened by cheap/corny dialogue....Its like QT just took Waltz's character from IB and put a cowboy hat on him, the same accent and the same ridiculous verbosity, etc. etc. Jamie Foxx hardly said a thing and just looked mean all the time, which I guess fit for the role, but it wasn't anything special. Dicaprio again did a phenomenal job, and he put in the best performance of the movie IMHO. the thing I hate the most about QT that always makes me hesitant to say hes a great or even good director is his use of music montages. See my rant about Deathproof dialogue that explains it in more detail. Here he was even worse...constant unnecessary drawn out scenes to QT's favorite Morricone or obscure exploitation soundtrack he had on the victrola at the time. After watching this and his other films, Im willing to say that Pulp Fiction was lucky in that respect: every soundbite just happened to fall naturally into place. In this movie its often completely unnecessary, contributes absolutely nothing to the character's sensibilities or emphasizing tension/craziness on screen. Worst example: Why was it there? It contributed absolutely nothing in the way of storytelling, and if it was meant to get the viewer charged up emotionally the cue cut the song way too short to have any relevant emotional impact. Fuck at this point Im willing to collaborate with Red Letter Media on a 60 minute special of how QT is a double-edged director. I really wish he would tighten his shit up....because he really does have an eye for things, but at this point Im starting to think he's suffering from George Lucas syndrome: its increasingly obvious that his better movies were better because of the people involved on the periphery.

Django Unchained-7/10 I think Tarantino is losing it. Compared to Inglorious Bastards this reeks of overindulgence. Some great parts though (and Samuel Jackson was great....never would I have thought in my days that I would root for the horrible death of Samuel L. Jackson in a movie theater).

holy shit man,....i played that all the time when i was younger...first game I bought off GoG when I signed up. I always played Life or Fire....then went Death after beating that pansy ass bastard Balkoth.

omg that was so sweet! i got a little misty eyed.....he reminds me of a lot of nice older men around these parts.

best WWF theme period. what a jam. [youtubehd]_YaixyQ3lK4[/youtubehd]

wow awesome! i rcvd a ton of gift cars from friends and an amazing breakfast....pretty solid xmas if i may say so.

yup. and at this point it should be dirt cheap too.

IMHO its superior to Bioshock in every way except for the main storyline narrative...and even then its not all that bad...just pales in comparison to the original story. Gunplay/plasmid alternating was GREATLY improved in the second.....and the minor storyline with Grace Holloway was one of the best parts of any game Ive ever played, ever.

that's part of the reason i gave up on it. blocky awkward controls that forced you to shoot or run in terror made that franchise....now they want us to actively confront everything with the same control scheme?

i was about to comment that you are looking pretty good here, but I realized that isn't the proper adjective. You look awesome. I mean deserving of awe. Like, if you walked down the street past me like that, I'd turn to my buddy/girl/whatever and say "That guy is a badass."
