Yeah. The new remake sucks.

 

It's got better graphics but the gameplay's carp

Fixed.

Also, of course it's an old copy!

It's about 25+ years old!

If that's your definition of old, what does that make Frink?  3 olds?

Flippin' heck, sean and ricarleite!  Don't you know Miracle on 34th Street?  What's wrong with you two?

Sometimes it's a wonder I even associate with you two!

reveal/accusation that greenpenguino is our long lost vfp in 4...3...2...

I didn't remember the interactive holocron had so much in it.  I remembered (incorrectly, it would seem) that is was mostly a glossary of the people.

But vfp isn't here to keep it updated, so I think that falls to Frink.  005- you're right, I should have let Frink have the first post.  Maybe I'll create a new thread (after receiving permission in the New "New Thread" Thread, of course) suggesting that he create a new thread himself.

RIP VPN.

Go, Frink, Go!

We actually played with one at Gamestop last night. I was SUPER-impressed with the 3D effect, but we looked at the games and weren't impressed. However, OoT3D and StarFox643D will change our minds in a hurry.

Really?  I'm a 3D nut/apologist and I wasn't that impressed with the autostereoscopy.  Perchance it was because the Gamestop 3DS was tethered to the display- so I couldn't hold it as naturally or as steadily as I would have otherwise.  But I found sublte shifts of my head to, at best, wreck the 3D effect or, at worst, invert it.  It reminded me much more of a "3D" Slurpee cup or a "3D" TV Guide cover than actual 3D video (you know, with those horrible glasses).  I'm not a fan of 3D glasses, but I guess I figure they are (and will continue to be for the forseeable future) better than any alternatives.  It continues to surprize me what people are willing put up with just to avoid glasses.

I had to bend my body at an odd angle to see the display copy, and yes I guess it did remind me of the old type of 3D, but those cups never shot a Haduken at my face.

I was hunched over the low display, trying to see the effect which was difficult.  I made a snarky comment to another guy in the store:

ME      : I guess this display is made for someone a little shorter than I am.
GUY    : Huh?  What are you talking about?
CLERK: You can take it off of the stand.  It's just tethered.
ME      : Oh.  <gently pulls it off the stand>  Yep, sure enough.

Tom Cruise?  Or maybe Tom Crooze? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vEFQryAajc)

Well... at least someone is playing Assassin's Creed 2.

doubleofive said:

I still don't follow why someone has to be playing AC2...

CP3S said: 

Xhonzi, I don't need anymore of your CRAP! I'll get around to playing AC2 when I get around to it, so why don't you just stop gettin' all up in my business and stuff!

;)

 

Hmm, that reminds me... I really need to play Assassin's Creed 2.

I didn't mean a majority of someones should be playing AC2 or anyone on these boards.

I'm actually a little jealous of both of you.  I'm really enjoying ACB, but AC2 was such a joy to play for the first time.  ACB is a great follow-on, and I think it's marginally better than AC2, but I miss a few things from AC2 and it was such a huge improvement over AC1.

One thing that irks me is when people say the terminology

'I could care less'

 

The correct terminology is

'I couldn't care less'

 

'I could care less' just makes no sense. If you could care less about something, then all you're telling us is that you do care, at least a little bit. Because you COULD care less. But if you couldn't care less means you don't care at all and if you wanted to care any less about it you couldn't because it's out of your 'caring spectrum.' You are so low on the caring bar-chart, as it were that you could not care less. If your caring is at 0%, then you couldn't care less.

 

Thank you for your time.

After the "Well, don't beat yourself up about it" comment regarding Ziggy's movie review, I am pretty sure greenpenguino is my new favorite poster of all time.

Well, Gaffer Tape... it looks like he left both of us at once.  Do you want to get dinner?  Maybe a little splitscreening afterward?

Well... at least someone is playing Assassin's Creed 2.

So now whenever I post on that forum I tend to use "personal continuity" instead of "canon" whenever I bring up the topic.

Haha, political correctness for SW nerds.

*Ahem* Policitical correctness for SW female-attention-challeneged, please.

MOAR!

How did this thread get off of the first page?

*BUMP*

Heck, you might even like the ending.  Some people did.

Actually, if you look at any viewer poll, most people liked or loved the ending. It's just the vocal minority that hated it and continue to complain about it to this day.

Not that I don't believe you, but what polls are you talking about?  My "polls" of my friends, family, neighbours, co-workers, internet commentators, etc. that watched the show (at a variety of depths) was overwhelmingly negative...  maybe 80%.

Ilovelostincludingtheendingofseason6.com running a poll that was overwhelmingly positive wouldn't surprise me.  Neither would I weight it very much.

Season 2 has some of the best stuff!

Instead, how about a new saga consisting of previously unrelated films?

The One (Jet Li)
The Man With Two Brains
Three Amigos!
I am Number four
Fifth Element
Sixth Sense
Se7en
8mm
Nine (The woven doll one)
10 (The Dudley Moore one)
Eleventh Hour (The Rufus Sewell one)
12 Monkeys
Thirteen Ghosts

I'm starting a Twin Peaks Club at work consisting primarily of former Losties.

I can send you the schedule and you can join in!

I'll take it!  And, if things go well, maybe a little splitscreening afterwards?

Aw dammit. Well um, just pretend then

 Okay....

I totally went on there and mixed it up and I got banned! [/pretend]

What did I win?
