So is the option to play the Battle of the Heroes music during the final duel out of the equation 99-100% now?  It sounds like it based on the update on the wordpress site - but just making sure.

what changes will be made? is there a change list? will be some errors are corrected? will this come with the German language from the bluray?

GTA 5 is incredible. It fixes every problem I've had with the series.

Loading Times: Except for when you switch characters, gone.

World Unlock: Drive anywhere, right from the beginning.

Side Quests: Optional. You want to hang out with another character, YOU call THEM! They've also integrated the RDR-type random missions, where you can stop a purse snatcher or so on.

Getting Lost: No longer a problem. Drive as far as you want, then switch characters, the one you got lost will find his way back. Really keeps the game moving.

Car Damage: It's really really hard to damage your car as to be undrivable. Vehicles are far less likely to explode. Also, each character has a vehicle or set of vehicles that is owned by them, so when you switch characters or finish a mission, most of the time one of your cars will be waiting there, saving some time as usually you'd have to stand in the middle of the road and threaten someone to get out of their car.

Cops: There are fewer cops on the street for you to accidentally tap and start some kind of shootout on accident. They're still pains when you do instigate them, but they have view things on the radar so where you can see where they're looking for you, which gives car chases an almost Assassin's Creed feel. Sometimes I find myself looking for hay bales.

Story: Rockstar has learned from RDR and realized that we do actually care about the story. I don't see this getting as emotional as RDR did, but I do care about what happens to the characters. I honestly don't remember what Nico's deal was.

Mrs O'Five was just playing the demo of Diablo 3, as some friends of ours were playing it. She was having a good time and I overhear this conversation:

"How much is it? $60?! If I get that, I'd have to let Drew get GTA-"

Then a credit card hit her.

So I'm on my way to GameStop.

Also, the AT-ATs should fire green lasers. And Ponda Baba's flipper should slap Vader at some point.

What number of changes we on now doubleofive (without joking please) or rough guestimation on your last count?

Mrs. O'Five and I are going to Disney World for Halloween. We're going with two other kidless couples, so we're doing couples costumes. We've got Mr & Mrs Incredible, two people from Adventure Time, my wife just got an Ursela from The Little Mermaid costume...

I'm going as a Redshirt? I guess I broke the theme.

My comic book store was sold out! Apparently they got shorted on their order.

I'm behind you and these changes 100%, d_e!

He was, and got a nice severance package so Two-Face could go from black to purple/white, IIRC.

I absolutely LOVE the remastered BDs of TNG. I just love them. The documentaries are just excellent, the deleted scenes are an amazing addition, and the HD scan and colour correction is simply mind-blowing.

 

There are however things I don't like :

- extreme, extreme DVNR on Season 2,

- very bad compositing of some of the SFX scenes. mainly on season 2, but also on a few scenes in season 4

- some of the colour correction - well, I prefer the DVD colours, and also I don't understand why they made some scenes darker, but this is again mainly visible in seasons 2 and 4

- I don't like the fact that they're CG-ing some of the SFX scenes, to be honest I would prefer the elements to be upscaled from the SD tapes

- Dan Curry's team was shooting models in 30fps, their movement looks weird in 24fps

 

Even with these problems I don't regret buying the blus and I definitely WILL buy the whole show, and of course any other shows they release in HD

...and just like that the Bond films are gone from Netflix again.

I have Seasons 1 & 2, mostly to support the idea of rebuilding the entire show from scratch using the original elements, but also because I'd actually not seen most of the episodes. They look incredible, like they were made yesterday (which I guess they were now). And the bonus features are outstanding, mostly because they've had 25 years to look back on it, unlike features on shows still on, where its all EPK fluff.

I need to continue buying them, but we've been spending our fun money on other things.

EDIT:

I'd be more interested in the more impossible B5 and Farscape HD sets.

Don't be coy, MK2K, you know as well as I that Ady has replaced that shot of Slave I with Boba Fett using his jet pack from the garbage to fly up to the Falcon and physically grab a hold of it while piloting Slave I remotely.

I've been watching a lot of Bond on Netflix recently. Originally skipping around, but found myself stuck in the Roger Moore era. I like it a lot, except for the Louisana Sheriff. I cringed the entire time he was on screen, for TWO MOVIES. Was he the director's brother or something?

This is a new one to me.

Ming's eBay auctions are looking good! Don't miss out on these!

Hey Ady, is the new Wampa puppet the last thing you're doing in the video portion of ESB:R? Have you started to build it yet?

Wait, you're saying the Wookieepedia account isn't you?

This is like a dream!  I wish I would  have stopped after 1.  I kept going back hoping they would get better.  Damn you George Lucas.

Ryan McAvoy said:

His best book is 'Red Son' IMO. What if Superman's pod had landed in a communist workers collective farm in Russia instead of America? Incredible stuff.

I just have to say that that the shot where tiny Luke now gets up and runs away is my favorite shot of anything ever.
