Long live this thread.
+1.
But shouldn't the band be called either "Porkins and the I'm All Rights" or "Gold 5 and the Came from Behinds"? We don't want people to get confused.
Either way, can I get a t-shirt?
Wow, you're totally right. But I'm afraid I'm going to purge this revelation from my memory banks because Porkins and the Came From Behinds is just way too cool.

I loved Mass Effect 1, but was somewhat disappointed in 2 for the following reasons:
- I felt they were aiming at a younger age demographic and going for a more pure TPS, rather than a TPS/RPG hybrid. This is a matter of taste of course.
- The game lacked narrative drive and got really bogged down in the side quests.
- Too many squadmates with little to say, instead of a smaller number with more dialogue
- The Collectors were lame, uninspired enemies who you hardly ever saw; it felt like your mission was to hunt down merc groups!
- It also really annoyed me that I could not put my companions in proper armour or spacesuits for those times when, you know, they go into space!
- No meaningful upgrades to your armour and no weapon upgrades to speak of.
- No inventory or economy whatsoever!
- Shrinking universe (a side quest mission allows you to eliminate the entire Geth threat from ME1!)
- Planet scanning
- N7 missions sucked; give me the Mako (with better controls) and those stunning vistas on unexplored worlds anytime
ME2 was still a good game with some really slick presentation with great voice acting (at times), and a few interesting characters, but it felt like the soul of the first game was sacrificed to create it. I think there was a lot of missed potential - the game would have been much more interesting if Cerberus had been shown to be undoubtedly evil and they had created a compelling reason for you to join them.
Having said all this; do you think I will like ME3?
I'm a little worried about this. I haven't started ME2 yet, and I was only so-so for ME1. Everyone told me I was going to love ME1. When I didn't, everyone said not to worry because I would love ME2 for sure.
But the things that are gone (Mako, RPG elements, economy, etc.) are some of the things I liked best about ME1.

Oooh! Do you need any potatoes peeled?
Are you in town again?
New Pics, from Rock Band 3.
I listened to the vimeo video at the end. So sad to hear people defend the PT and the bad SE changes. Especially when he can't do it without going out of his way to roll a few grenades at the preservationists.

Re-timed Smooth Criminal, put in AEmovieguy's Shmi death joke, and re-timed Friday:

Why the re-timing? I thought the "snap" into Smooth Criminal as soon as he sat in the saddle was perfect.

Minecraft.
Just played it for the first time two night ago, and again last night. Wow, this game is really stupid. It is a massive waste of time, can be really frustrating, and the graphics make my eyes hurt.
That being said, this is the most fun I've had playing a game in a while. Playing with friends makes for a really fun experience.
My 30 minutes or so with Minecraft didn't hook me at all. I didn't play with any friends, so maybe that's what I was missing. I made a block house with a bookcase wall, I dug a really deep hole, I made a stair case to nowhere... and then I was done.
I just started playing Crysis 2 on Hard. My guy seems to be a total wrecking machine, but on the other hand, I pretty much am getting blown away by guys that are 100 yards away. I don't have a sniper rifle, and the zoom on the guns I do have are decent, but not great. So I'm finding myself taking cover and engaging in white knuckle shootouts with about half a dozen guys as I move from space to space. If I get caught in the open, it's pretty much over... which sucks since there is no save feature and the checkpoints can be spread out.
It's fine- it's a way to play a game... But I'm hardly Rambo or Master Chief running and gunning. Am I playing this game right?
My new projector has a little input lag, so I'm not sure if the game is difficult on its own, or if my new projector is making it more difficult than it should be.

Yea for being friends!
Yay for friends!
Boo for misuse of the word "Yea". Especially from a one who should know better.
GET THEE TO THE WORDS MEAN THINGS THREAD!
I think the fact that the actors couldn't touch the walls in most of the locations they were in adds to the sterility.
I think the mini sets are pretty cool, and if you have the "Creating the Worlds of Star Wars 365 Days" book, you may see that a lot more of thre prequels were shot against mini sets than you might have guessed. But, as was just said earlier, they should have been used for extensions and had more practical sets for the actors to act against.

Hey! I am trying. Fallout 3 set me back a bit. And Just Cause 2 isn't helping neither. Those are 2 100 hour games that I've played (playing) in the last 12 months. Luckily I mixed in some short games to boost my totals, so it's not a complete disaster.
Now that ME3 is out, I guess I need to finally start ME2. And since the 100 hour Skyrim is out, I guess I need to make time to play FO:NV.
Darn. This isn't getting better any time soon. ;)

all my work is done in 5 fps
Wow, the fastest rotoscoper of them all.
You mean choppiest!? I know games from the 1990s with a better frame rate than 5fps! LOL
From the 1990s?!?!? Wow, you must be old.
It could be the projection is messed up. I was happy to blame the infantile state of the tech and my young age at the time.
It doesn't say that Jethro is a character, it says he is an actor, appearing in such hits as Star Wars (1977) and more!
More Special Edition chicanery, probably.
EDIT: To really see it the way I did, I can't give you a link. Just type "drive" in the search box or "Jethro the" and it will show up.
Just bought Arkham City for $10 and Rage for $5. Both new at Best Buy this week, with coupons in their gamer magazine.
Can't wait to put them on my shelf and play them maybe never!

My new favourite actor: Jethro the Bus Driver.
(I found this by searching for "Drive" and this was 2nd to the top. After Drive (2011), surprisingly.

Captain Eo has been back in Disney parks for a couple years now.
I don't know if it's in it's original 3D format, or one of the new systems.
It's the same as it was minus some of the practical room effects. There isn't a laser-light show on the ceiling during the movie anymore. The chairs still move up and down and I think the big light flashes are still there, but perhaps not.
The 3D projection is still dual (quad?) film projectors with linear polarizers. I was totally blown away by the 3D in EO in 1987. While I was blown away by the 80's-ness of it last summer, the 3D itself was full of crosstalk (ghosting or double-image) and doesn't compare to today's 3D presentations...
Though I do hope they release it on home video.

Donate $200 and get a coffee mug with an image of Greedo saying "I've been looking forward to this for a long time". Fill it up with hot liquid and it changes to Han saying "Yes, I'll bet you have".
Now that's an idea!
No one has any good (or bad) ideas for the $500 and $1,000 rewards?!?
Really?
I am disappoint.
