Why not just equip the Jaegers with fuck-off big railguns. Seemed a bit daft they developed these uber mechs that synced two people's brains and then resort to punching the shit out of everything or when it did have a weapon it took so long to charge up even the dumbest of shits worked out you...

Feels like it's going to be a long, slow grind from a newly dinged 48 to 49 so I can resume the storyline quest. I was only halfway through 47 when I finished the last one but I'd left exploration exp for any unexpected dips in quest chains and at 21.5k a zone that really helped a bunch. A...

Can't believe how easy it was to get four of the five pieces of Gallant armour. When I think back on the sheer Hell it was back in FFXI earning those pieces I feel like I should slam my dick in the door a few times so I at least have a feeling of achievement.

Was that announcement of a race change GC item just pure BS or is there something actually going to go in with future GC advancements that'll unlock this. I'm kind of leaning towards Roegadyn now as everywhere I look I see Miqo'te. *edit* Nvm. 30 day Vet reward.

Any mention on when the new classes will be getting released? Next primal Leviathan maybe?

Was planning on going to Excalibur as that's where some good US friends are going who I played FFXI with. As a Euro though I know from experience playing on a server with few people on during your timezone leads to you losing interest fast or just growing bitter as every random newbie on the...

How're the fat chicks and manginas meant to cyber for lewtz now?

Tempted to start all over again on Malboro but wondering whether it'll be worth the effort as I'm EU and trying to factor in just how much longer we'll be testing (aka playing for free) for. My Gld is only 16 or so anyway so it's no real hardship to restart.

Class demand can swing massively depending on the mobs S-E decide to introduce in to the game as well. If prime exp spots are populated with little bastard imps that spawn crap like Amnesia then you're going to find groups demand classes that work with that. S-E are past masters at creating...

I hope they do go the route of evasion tanking again. I've tanked in a number of MMOs over the years and nothing else has come close to the fun and challenge I enjoyed with the FFXI ninja.

Abyssea and level-cap raises pretty much destroyed the legacy of the good old days of camping the kings for years on end in the hopes of seeing a Defending Ring let alone acquiring one. I feel S-E have learned a great deal since those days even if they acknowledge they went too far with...

After playing this for a few weekends now I have to say my excitement levels are dropping off considerably for live. Not seeing anything new here and the charm that carried me through the slog in 11 seems completely absent from 14.

Do you have to purchase arrows for the Archer? If not then I'd lean towards that over Pugilist for the simple reason you're not in melee range and subject to AoE damage as much. The prohibitive cost of playing a Ranger in FFXI, namely ammo, dissuaded most people from playing the class or they...

Couldn't agree more. Thinking of the scene in Superman 2 where he "runs away" after seeing Zod and co wrecking the city. This was Transformers-level disregard for the inconsequential little humans.

I was leaning more towards William Gibson's vision of the future with the ultra-rich living in orbital stations and the rest of us plebs fighting over the scraps down on Earth.

Or that his dad was 46 when he died yet looked 66...

Won't lie, I was disappointed. I have to admit to not being a fan of Zac Snyder. He takes stories and characters I care about and somehow gives me a soulless rendition of them.

PS3 beta runs surprisingly better than expected.

Hopefully this leads to more Cyberpunk-themed movies being made.

Legend by David Gemmell. Then most of his other novels and the world would be a better place for it.

What's with Will Smith's accent in this movie? It's set in the future so what's with the affected deep south/creole twang I'm hearing, he doesn't talk like that normally.

Fantasy Moving on...

I assumed the two guys in those weird white suits flanking Bones when he stood over Kirk's corpse were in special rad-suits. I just put it down to another hole in the writing.

There's a definite point where DS9 stepped up a gear and it ties in exactly with Sisko shaving his head and growing a goatee.

Just once I'd like to see some augments not interested in taking over the world. It'd be awesome if they all decided to embrace careers in interstellar pr0n.

How did I miss this? Discovery was good but, come on mate, it's noComputer World.

I'm more than aware who he is but I didn't buy a music CD to listen to an autobiography, regardless of my feelings on his contribution to the synth genre. I'd be equally as bemused if I'd been subjected to the same by Jeff Lynne or Ray Davies.

I'm confused as to why people were falling all over the place in space when the anti-gravity failed. Sure, that's fine when they're in Earth's atmosphere but in space...

Disappointed with the album if I'm honest. Third track in and I'm wondering why I'm listening to Giorgio Moroder's life story. The album never really takes off, it's just feels lacklustre and sadly the best track on it is the one I'm already sick of hearing through radio play saturation. Oh...

I'm going to fly in the face of all the animated comparisons and keep it real!

Sadly, the only part of the movie where I was impressed by the 3D was right in the beginning where the spears were flying right at me. After that I ceased to notice anything of note.

No love for The Departed?

I think we were watching a different movie. Although to be fair I think the fault lay with the direction of it and while I very much respect Kenneth Branagh I really think he wasn't cut out to be the director of a superhero movie. The whole, "Oh... my... God!" Natalie Portman thing was...

Jim Jarmusch. /thread

Enjoyed it immensely while I was watching it and if anything it seemed too short. Within five minutes of leaving the cinema I started to pick it apart though.

I don't have many "favourite" Voyager episodes but I think one nearest the top would have to beLiving Witness. It's a refreshing take on the old alternate universe storyline.

I'd argue the villain is more important than the hero for a movie to be successful. If the hero isn't tested to breaking point then what's the point of watching? That's why I'm excited about the next Superman movie and really couldn't muster a single shit about the last one.

I'd recommendGoogle Keepover Evernote. I still usePocketthough despite Keep having similar functionality. Been wrestling with the decision to buy a Nexus 10 for a while now, think I may just stump up the readies this weekend. Any hints of a new Google tablet on the horizon?

Chud 2: Bud the Chud! And ESB, Godfather Part 2, Aliens, Wrath of Khan, and First Contact (second of the new series anyway).

If I was 8 when I watched this movie I would have thought it was awesome. Unfortunately, watching it a little over five times older than that and having read more than a few Iron Man comics in the past I was pretty disappointed by the terrible, inconsistent storyline and general feeling of...
