Apparently there's a Rise of the Triad remake in the works. Here's hoping it's still as comical and over-the-top as it's predecessor; although, I'm not holding my breath. The graphics are leaving me soft. Rise of the Triad

Does the campaign ever end? It's gotten beyond monotonous with sporadically playing it. I suppose with the Russia audience I should not be surprised.

Apparently, if you live in some parts of Minnesota, it's giraffed. Yes, the past tense of giraffe. Try explaining how wrong that is to people.

If Mesmer is the same as it was months ago, depending on the build, you only really die due to lack of planning. Portals, teleports, clones, and condition removal/transfer. You don't kill anything on equal footing quickly, but you have amazing survivability.

Have to wonder how people get so bored/desensitized to sex that scat becomes an compelling options. Obligatory:

That does seem like a valid point. Why are we bothering with a Foreman's grill when actual grilling, roasting, or sauteing are options? Modicum of oil + salt + pepper + adequate heat element = profit. If the technique and/or tools are sufficient, it should result in something palatable. I...

Has The Man Who Sold The World been shared? Lewl at young Dave Grohl. As a history lesson, I believe that Bowie did the original and, although I like Bowie (<3Space Oddity), the Nirvana version seems more timeless.

This show is really all over the place. The suspension of disbelief is becoming far too troublesome. It's reaching anime levels of odd. Inexplicit vampires. LSD mysticism. Naked old man fighting. Da Vinci learning mastery of space and time. This series seems to be the pioneer of...

I thought I'd share this in case other people found it useful. After punchfork closed down, moved to pinterest, and/or became terrible, I've been looking for a replacement.Websiteslike.orgcame up withfoodgawkerwhich, so far, has been a suitable replacement. I really have to have pretty...

Don't like most of their stuff, but I like this:

Perhaps hookers, coke, and brie + habitrail + vagina.

American Psycho. I loved the movie back in the day and thought I'd read the book. I'm not quite sure which I liked more. The movie is a dark comedy with horror elements. The violence, although horrific, is welcome in it's moderation and execution. The movie has a few scenes not in the book...

Apparently they're making Da Vinci, at least for this last episode, bi-curious. The 11th hour saves, implausible strategies and inventions, and odd mysticism/supernatural stuff are getting a bit boring.

Ending of The Gladiator American Psycho, business card scene

I want to like it, but it comes off too much as hindsight Nostradamus-douching about events than an interesting critique on the current state of news. The dialogue is okay, but speech sounds more intelligent given the alacrity of their cadence. The interoffice romances are just terrible and...

I'm really not sure what I watched. I appreciate them doing something different with the series, but none of that was particularly funny or memorable. It was the background music on an elevator type of episode.

Most overrated, of course not. He at least has had a few decent movies on his resume. I still enjoy Memento and The Prestige. The Dark Knight needed more editing and it appeared to run on forever, despite the capable acting, and it wasn't an entire bore/flop. As long as Uwe Boll keeps...

Eardor is okay, but short of being great. It comes off as a poorly fleshed out HOMM / Disciples hybrid. Combat starts out boring and repetitive and only gets modestly better after acquiring additional spells and structures. It seems to focus on the minutia of managing each province without...

Food poisoning has taught me that I can vomit and shit at the same time, without getting anything on me. The process was rather trial and error. The first was sushi in Iowa. I knew better, but my rational was, "it wouldn't be on the menu if it poisoned people, right?" The second was Chinese...

It's from a government institution, so the ranges are likely rather conservative to ensure public safety. Having worked in food service in another life, the stringency in the guidelines would appear to be the lower limits. I'd use it for a rough guidelines as the life of food in your fridge is...

As far as I remember, habit change takes 6-8 months. It takes forever. You might slide back down into old habits. But, if you can endure 6-8 months, you might be able to maintain the behavioral change.

Nope, but then I never said I was commenting on the article more than commenting on what's been posted, specifically indicting the use of one random professor supporting the validity of an assertion. So defensive. Well, after skimming the article, I think the better question is: why would...

Just playing devil's advocate, but you can really find a professor to say just about anything. From vaccines causing autism to video games causing gun violence. Has he empirically proven that consumption of seafood is solely/prominently responsible for disparity in brain size, or is this some...

Now, I don't necessarily cook healthfully, but that is my method. I generally cook Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday and package up the left overs for the week. I try to vary what I eat, but inevitably I end up with numerous similar meals back-to-back. Punchfork was my primary source for...

Perhaps Guild Wars 2 has spoiled me, but that looks old and the game isn't even released.Surely, ground breaking mechanics will overshadow its marginal graphical appeal.

The first was rather disappointing. The marginally philosophical aspects appeared superficial and poorly incorporated. It felt like a 3 part movie condensed into 1 movie and many of the characters were poorly developed. The aspects from the Alien's movies appeared superfluous and unnecessary...

Double post, sadness. Anyhow, I liked Sue as the infallible secretary. Her mistakes testifying humanized her character a bit in very uninspired ways. I find myself smirking throughout the show rather than laughing.

Really not quite sure of what to make of the third episode. It came off a Stargate-level camp meets clumsy zombie/demon/possession horror. It was a hot mess. I think I watch this show to see recycled GoT actors. So far, just Lommy Greenhands and Half-hand.

I still hate Comcast.

According to the highly reliable and accurate wiki, the average male life span in the US is 75.35. 11 more years to finish the books not withstanding his poor physical state? That is, assuming that he doesn't become demented or incapable of working.

I want to like the show, but I find it very predictable. The setups are apparent and the payoffs are infrequent or don't arrive at all. I still watch it, but it's at the bottom of my hierarchy of watchable comedies.

A little simple, but it gets me there.

I'm not big fan of anime, but I watched the Monster series back when Syfy still ran anime. It was surprisingly good, if not slightly slow and melodramatic. Both HBO and del Toro are fairly reputable, so I would be surprised if they screw this up. That said, I'm not quite sure how HBO will fit...

The last episode appeared derivative and played-out. Even if Stan experiencing amnesia was entirely unique to the show, the execution seemed redundant and over worn. I liked the James Bond-esque episode, but everything as of late appears very tired. Sometimes shows just need to die or...

For the sequels, that would seem like a reasonable position to hold. I apologize for the poor picture but, guessing blindly, one would expect an average product. The average range possesses the most area and accounts for the largest population of scores, which assumes that the quality of...

If one defines a masterpiece as: a work done with extraordinary skill; especially : a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement, then I can understand the accomplishment of Star Wars in moving the Sci-Fi genre ahead in film. In that respect, and this may be an internet first, I was wrong...

They can, however, make several terrible movies that, for whatever reason, sell well and make their money back. For instance, perhaps Luke marries a glittering vampire that's actually an ancient robot species in disguise programmed to conceal the offspring of the progenitor of the force. If...

I suppose it depends on the definition of "good product." A turd could be a good product if marketed well and, inexplicably, 18-25 year olds buy it. Value is relative and no object possesses intrinsic value. Transformers, Da Vinci Code, Twilight, etc. did not make a lot of money because they...
