Olga Kurylenko? No NOONNO nON NOOoo. Have you seen how ungodly unsexy she is in Hitman?

Yeah, you're right. Her knees were far too pointy.

Because they've been including Zero in most of their crossover fighting game franchises lately. Both Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Marvel vs Capcom 3 have playable appearances from Zero, but not Mega Man.

Also the ZX games were essentially just an extension of the Zero series.

Did you read it?

So the RIAA is quite correct, they did not ask for a specific number and they did not ask for $72 trillion. However, they did at one point seem to be asking for statutory damages not for each file that was shared but for each copy of each file: multiply that up and you get the $72 trillion figure. So that’s not actually what they asked for although it is implied in one of the detailed legal arguments that they tried to use. And of course this is an old case which has been settled.

So yeah, they didn't specifically outline $72 trillion, but it's what they were suggesting they were entitled to.

Who Eva Green? Eh, she's okay. Quantum of Solace IMO was better. Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton are the ****.

It's the "I pay to get into the theater, not to see the movie" plan.

After unlimited popcorn and soda though (usually for 4 people), I think we settle on even every trip.

That's worse than piracy!!!!!!!! You're actually costing the theater money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I assume you are joking, but all I am doing is sitting into the near empty theaters that would be playing the movies regardless of whether I was there to watch it or not. and with the price of popcorn and soda...... it's only worth it if you stick around for more than 1 movie.

Theatres inflate the prices of popcorn/drinks/lollies because that's the only area of the operation that turns a decent profit. Theatres have to give a huge percentage of ticket sales to movie studios in the first couple weeks of release, like in the order of 85% (studios got 100% of the ticket price from the first week of release of The Attack of the Clones. 100%!). Theatres only start to make a chunk of ticket sales after four or five weeks, and by that time as you say there's no-one in the place.

So basically BnM, you're the worst type of movie patron.

It looks wider. On the the older design the control sticks were in-line with the d-pad/buttons but on this one they're further out?

Yeah, it's clear you've missed the point because it is exactly that. This franchise crossover wouldn't work well, it's nonsensical. Whereas with a new IP you're not limited by anything that has come before it. You're not going to get hounded by people complaining "this doesn't play like Metroid" or "this isn't StarFox" (which is exactly what happened with Adventures). Reception would be based on the merit of the game itself, not its pedigree.

COMMUNITY HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR A FOURTH SEASON!!!!


Only 13 episodes, but NBC isn't calling it the final season, so there's a chance it might get more. Six seasons and a movie!

Without Dan Harmon it seems. I'm not so sure I'm happy about this fourth season now.

His tumblr response is pretty hilarious though.

Ballin'. It's a pity I'll be in Europe for its release, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a copy when I get back. Or maybe I'll just get one while I'm over there and play it on the train/plane/bus rides.

I'd play that game, but you know, maybe without bastardising two of Nintendo's franchises in the process?

That game would be perfect for a new IP, make it the crew's captain that goes down in the middle of a dogfight or something and everyone presumes he/she are dead. One half see you piloting the rest of the squad through Star Fox like missions to keep battling a war (or something) the other half sees you as the captain fighting off monsters/baddies to explore the planet and restore your ship so you can rejoin your comrades.

If I remember correctly, BnM pays for one movie then just hops into another theatre to see the next movie?

The controls are spot on (they have to be) and work great. If you die it's never because you've been let down by the controls, you'll only have your judgement and reflexes to blame.

Kamiya would be a great fit for Star Fox. He wants to do it, he has the talent to do it and he'd be able to do Star Fox (which need to happen) on the ground justice.

Why is a first person shooter making you Press a button on an analog stick to make you sprint?  Seriously!!!

It is like the game is being designed by a someone without a clue to developing intuitive controls. 

Haha, it's really not difficult at all. I'm already pressing on the stick to tilt it, just press a little harder and it clicks in to sprint.

There really not comparable. High scores can always be beaten or improved upon, they act as motivation to get better at a game. Achievements don't do this, we at least not more than once. After I have achieved this "Achievement" what further purpose does it serve? Nothing.

Yeah, I've voiced my opinion on the current "Acheivement" and "Trophy" systems being pretty much the shallowest reason in the world to extend the playtime of a game. I'd rather unlock something that I can utilise within the game than just get a shiny badge for my online profile.

I always see people complaining about tripping, I guess I must have just had a different version of the game where I only tripped about once every 3 matches or so, it must suck playing the version most people had where you trip over every five seconds.

Also the online code for Brawl was junk, but I think that was mainly due to Nintendo's limited experience in online titles. I expect the new games to be far and away improved in this regard.
