Sounds like a perfect plan to me. There are too many humans, reproducing far too quickly.

I've never seen it before. It essentially looked like Dances with Wolves though.

General Gaming / Re: Munchkin
« on: August 06, 2012, 06:11:46 PM »
My god, do I ever hate Munchkin! Really, there are so many great card (and board) games out there that it boggles my mind that Munchkin is as popular and expansive as it is.
The cards are humorous enough... the first or second time you see them. After that it becomes a rather dry affair. You depend entirely upon the luck of the draw when acquiring items and progressing. That is until somewhere hits level 8 or 9... then everyone teams up and ****-cans that person down to nothing. The game always ends up slowing to a crawl because whenever anyone is about to win, everyone else gangs up on them.
If you want a light, humorous, time conscience card game, then I would suggest Give Me the Brain over the likes of Munchkin or Fluxx.

Ridley Scott's Blade Runner
As much as I love Blade Runner, it was based upon a very successful novel. It could also be argued that The Fifth Element was taken directly from a Heavy Metal short and that The Matrix is little more than an amalgamation of various anime sources. Also, most of the "original" films you list were made decades ago.

Last month, right before the Derecho, we had an entire week of 105° - 110° weather. I absolutely hate the heat and humidity of the summer. Anything above 75° is already too hot for my tastes. I need to move farther north.

General Gaming / Re: What is your most recent gaming purchase?
« on: August 03, 2012, 01:08:40 PM »Left 4 Dead 2 at a Best Buy. More than twenty bucks and it wasn't used or had some other discount, yet the game's been out for quite some time. I rotate it out with the first game and alternate playing them.
You should have picked it up for $5 the other week during Steam's Summer Sale. They just finished patching in all of the L4D1 maps, too. So there is no need to rotate between the two, as L4D2 has it all.

I play fewer video games nowadays simply because there are fewer games actually worth playing. It's alright though, as other long held hobbies have simply moved in to fill the void instead.

« on: August 03, 2012, 01:18:57 AM »In any case, ME3 is an exciting adventure on its own.
I disagree. I found that MA3 was fairly boring throughout. Very little actually happens until the very end of the game. Without having played the previous games, you have no sense of need for closure. MA3 is completely worthless on its own. The only one of the games that could stand all on its own is the very first installment.

Fictional stories require a suspension of disbelief to enjoy. The more realistically you try to present your story, the harder that is. The film was shot well, and most of the actors gave pretty decent performances considering what they had to work with. Beyond that though, it was rubbish. The events were so far removed from anything even capable of happening in reality that it might as well have been about a werewolf of wendigo attack.
I don't feel pity for a character simply because they are being killed by wolves. There are far, far more humans on this planet than there are wolves. Some people, here and there, can stand to die in favor of a growing wolf population. It's especially difficult to feel any empathy when they are already scummy oil workers, some of whom are literally paid to senselessly kill wolves.

« on: July 29, 2012, 07:58:06 PM »Just saw the Grey. Anyone here see that film? I thought it was pretty intense.
It was shot well enough, but was otherwise terribly, terribly stupid. Predictability must have been the order of the day with the two or three "reveals" toward the end. Wolves don't act like that, period. People are actually effected by wounds they take mere moments before. Hypothermia and exposure are things that exist. Oil workers that senselessly kill wolves are not to be pitied.
I'm feel sorry for those of us who waste our time watching the film.

The underlying code is absolutely and undeniably terrible. Thankfully, most end-users will never notice it. At least not now. Program crashes and outright memory dumps used to be common place. Bad enough to the point where if you didn't save every 5-10 minutes, you were screwed. A lot of the show stopping bugs have been weeded out. Also, using the 64bit version of Java helps tremendously.

« on: July 25, 2012, 11:46:23 PM »If the Batman film series is rebooted again, I hope they go for a more gothic look, since it fit the character well in the Burton films. I just don't see how a modern day "New York" fits the Batman mythos.
Actually, I agree with this. Nolan's cityscape always seemed far too clean and modern for Batman... especially given the tone he was aiming for. I would have liked a bit more of Burton's aesthetics in place for how Gotham itself looked. Gothic skyscrapers simply fit.

Tribes Ascend is a free-to-play game. Anything you bought could have been acquired through actual gameplay. It's not a chore to play either, as the Tribes series has always been one of the best team-based shooters.
Otherwise, it looks like you got a pretty good bounty.
