Having a good time with Titanfall. Even though there's no splitscreen, we seem to be having as much fun watching as we do playing (though Mrs O'Five complained of motion sickness last night).

Rented MGS5: Ground Zeroes last night. I was worried I would need more than the two night rental I paid for, turns out that I didn't need that even. I beat the story campaign in 80 minutes and that was after literally banging a truck against a gate for a few minutes after killing dozens of soldiers before Mrs pointed out the unlocked door I could have walked through probably 30 minutes before. I've never been very good at MGS, so I don't even think I'll be trying the side missions. I'm not sure why I feel the need to buy/play those games at all. I guess I can't resist such cinematic games, even if I can't begin to understand their plots.

And I figured that Kiefer Sutherland taking over as Snake would enhance my enjoyment, but I think I really prefer Hayter...

It has been rumored that Benedict Cumberbatch might take on a villain role in Bond 24 and still I would love to see him as Ernst Stavro Blofeld but entirely different and he could be the competition to Lex Luther in the upcoming film Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice or he could take on Jaws more like a competition to The Winter Soldier from the newest Captain America film if they wont return to Quantum they could return to SPECTRE but this time they don't call each other by numbers because that is old school now and it is a more hidden criminal organization sort of like Hydra that really means business like hacking into MI6 computers and eliminating targets anyone agree with my idea?

Will there be Special Editions of PvGL?

I can do a version with my whole interview put back in it. Cause we all agree that 20 seconds of TMBTM is not enough! (and don't you dare saying "that's what she said!")
Which interview is you?
The one where the bottom of the screen says "TMBTM". I cheered when he showed up.

24 Live another day

I didn't even notice them spelling things out like that. But I wouldn't blame them, we're pretty dumb over here. I'm almost surprised they didn't have someone say "I'll never get used to driving on the other side of the road. Because they do that here, in London, where we are now."

Funny story, my wife asked me where Soccer was so popular that they had a giant stadium for it. "England?" "Oh yeah, I forgot this season wasn't in America."

I was going to say, I don't think I've found anything at any point, I just catalog them. ;-)


Ha ha, my playful remark wasn't a jab against your work at all. It's sad if that's the way you interpreted it.
Not at all! I was downplaying my contributions all on my own. I certainly didn't notice all the zoomed cockpits, or most of the things you all have helped me find.

Well they're doing a lot more than improving textures, that's a problem I have with most graphical upgrades to games. They always change things instead of just doing a 1:1 improvement.

I hadn't heard about them changing the ending.
No they're not. It'll be just like the Halo 1 Anniversary Edition, same engine, same AI, graphics you can switch on and off. And the cliffhanger ending is fixed by having Halo 3 a click away. ;-)

OMG!!!! SO AND SO DIES IN EPISODE VII!!!

Olde Wan Kenobi said:


A mere week hast passed since the well monikered and fine bearded Karl Rask, merchant of weaponry and frightener of small children and fluffy animals alike, did desperately yet knowingly grab himself a stray hand grenade and pulleth at the pin. The resulting detonation sent him to the great beyond where his maker undoubtedly had one or two questions to asketh him.



This incident occureth, as the more discriminating and handsome of ye wilst surely know, in episode the seventh of the Jack Bauer Power Hour's ninth season.
And the people said "DAMMIT!"

@towne32: Yeah, a few of those zoomed in shots were already done this way in v1.0 but it wasn't until after the release of v1.0, that 005 noticed many many more shots were actually zoomed in and added them to his gallery and those are the shots I just did but yeah, the video I posted also contains those I'd already done before.


Man, that's historical revisionism! ;)
