TalkBack / Re: Darksiders II Preview
« on: November 04, 2012, 11:13:37 PM »
"better art direction" is certainly subjective. I say hold out until we see a Zelda game on a console that Darksiders can be ran on. Can you imagine what Darksiders would look like on the Wii?
The game does have it's moments though. And MAD does draw a mean boot.

I think acting in self defense comes in many flavors, and killing the aggressor is the extreme end of it. Han could have done several other actions, but he sat there cool as a cucumber, totally unfazed by the gun, and shoot Greedo in the gut. And quietly walked out throwing money to the bartender. Seems to me he may have done that before.
Han knew that Greedo wasn't going to shoot because Jabba wouldn't get his money. Greedo was just making a point.
Also LOL @ Catina planet...
Next: that death star moon... lol

I don't care enough to remember screen names, let alone group people together into meaningless categories. I just come here for the entertainment. Unless I can interact with you on Facebook and Twitter. Then I remember your name. But I still don't group (grope?).

« on: October 31, 2012, 06:12:21 PM »That makes a little more sense than it goes from being a bad guy to good guy in an single instant. Still many people faced with that situation would still not take the shot. The gun was drawn still means he had to think fast, kill or be killed. At least that was how I saw it, even as a kid when I didn't know any better.
Another fact you aren't taking into consideration is that Han had his gun drawn under the table. At least Greedo had his threat right in Han's face, and was unaware of the threat directed at him. The idea was the Han was a despicable person who was involved with other despicable people, and he fit right in. Having Han wait until the shot was fired means he wasn't as despicable as previously thought. It means that if Greedo didn't shoot, he wasn't going to shoot. But Han not waiting means he was going to shoot regardless of the actions taken by Greedo. Han was found in a bar and he wanted to escape and have his location unknown by Jabba. Killing Greedo was the only way to enforce that.

I did the Walmart layaway today. I was first and showed up an hour and a half after layaway opened. My store also has ZERO promotional materials for the WiiU. You wouldn't even know the system was coming out.

« on: September 17, 2012, 12:13:40 AM »
I believe you only say that about Flash because you think all Flash is good for is games, video, and music.
I use Flash for dynamic fonts and wide array of image displays, things that CSS3 and Javascript can do, but the effort and time involved is so much more you have to ask if it's worth it. One issue with fonts displayed via CSS3 need the licensing to be shared as the font file is placed on the web server. Flash is less concerned with licensing, though perhaps web developers should keep it in mind...
HTML5 is overrated, and many people who promote it don't really understand what it is. And at the moment it's a moving target. Nintendo will be releasing many updates for their browser as proposals become standard or are dropped.
Probably the main reason for the lack of Flash is Adobe's licensing of the Flash player. Since the Wii U is not a Computer, it likely falls outside the free licensing model for browsers.

« on: September 09, 2012, 08:57:47 PM »
The worse thing about this movie was that the whole team infighting thing just doesn't work. There isn't enough history between the characters. They are just openly belligerent to each other with no reason. There is just not enough time for everybody even with the simple plot.
I took it that Loki was messing with them to cause this to happen.

Changing artists is the main reason I stop reading a book. One of the few exceptions: back in the 80s Kevin Maguire was penciling Justice League, and then it went to Adam Hughes. They are both awesome and produced classic stories.

I got my package! But I was expecting a little quest... and I got a One Piece manga. Talk about hyper, I thought Dragon Ball was all over the place! :p I will read it and let my girls read it, as much as they can stand...
