It should be noted that the european PS4 and XB1 will have a european BluRay player which will prevent you from watching most BluRay movies bought in the US.

For the record: comparing oil painting with woodblock printing is pretty dumb. On top of that, three things: 1) the japanese technique of polychromatic woodblock printing was unparalleled. 2) The particular example is a caricature of a famous actor meant for mass consumption, so that's pop...

Strange case of life imitating art with two AQ officers falling at the same time!

Of course you have some examples at hand?

Pretty much that.

I wonder why conspiracy theorists have such a difficulty with facts. You don't need much conspiracy theories to understand why Hitler and Stalin have been nominated for a Nobel peace price, you just need to know how the nomination process works:

Being the best Wii U game is, sadly, a bit like winning the special olympics at the moment.

I bought my NES with Wizard & Warriors. I bought by imported GameBoy with Cosmo Tank! Now that's an obscure gem! It's the poor man's Guardian Legend with a bit of first person tile based dungeon.

"Re-engineering" The Last Guardian? I wonder what it means... I hope it will not end up being a PS3.5 game, as in a PS3 game upgraded to PS4 without making new assets.

In Demon's Souls, most healing miracles were a bit meh because you had almost infinite heals with herbs. There was a regen that was ok for poisonous areas, a powerful pbaoe of limited use in PvE, a miracles to prevent spell casting... miracles were more of a roleplay and/or PvP thing. A kind of...

Never been a Genesis guy, but isn't it out-shined by games such as Dynamite Heady, Castle of Illusion or Quackshot? As for obscure favorites... I'll mention Skyblazer, a very fun action/platforming game on SNES with a very original indian fantasy setting. And then I'll put my super hipster...

If the US and the EU versions are both cut in different ways, maybe Japan will provide us the full experience.

It may have something to do with the fact these reviews are written by video games reviewers...

Most Yonex shoes are what they call "Ergoshape", a fancy word for "a bit wider in the front", and that's why I go for them. I don't believe it's wide enough for 6E though as a little google-fu mentioned a wider model at 4E. NB: Some of their recent shoes are what they call "Quatrofit", which...

The guy directed almost 50 movies, so I doubt even himself likes them all! By the same logic, if you love one of Allen's movies, it's unlikely that you will not find another 5 or 6 you also enjoy.

I don't use sneakers as fashion accessories, so I have about 4 pairs at any one time: the current badminton shoes, the beat up badminton shoes recycled into utility shoes (I go through a pair in about 6 or 8 months as I play 10+ hours a week), the clay court tennis shoes and the indoor tennis...

You are mistaking critics with fortune readers or something...

Also, with everyone being in PVP all the time, it will be a lot easier to find nearby opponents with a good ping. I found the covenants very lackluster in the first game though and I hope they put a lot more thoughts and work into them this time, so that choosing a covenant makes you...

Or you can use the 'cream of the crop' rating to remove random_blog3465 and its ilk from the equation.

If she pays some of the mortgage, it would be fair that she gets some of the equity. If she pays a rent, it would be fair that she gets renter's rights. If you don't want to give her renter's rights nor equity, she needs to pay nothing or you must make some sort of written agreement. No...

The power brick is amassiveanti-theft device!

When all is said and done, I suspect the PS3's lifespan will end up being longer than 10 years. Remember the PS2 lasted 13 years and the PS1 12 years because of the generational overlaps (the Xbox lasted only 7 years because of lack of overlap with the X360). The PS4's competitive pricing at...

Putting Woody Allen and Hollywood in the same sentence is a bit odd considering he mostly worked with east coast or foreign producers. There is no denying his significance though. NB: I ranked Midnight in Paris at N?8 in my 2011 Top 20.

I have not seen any of them, but I have a friend of mine who rates them very highly and the director, Richard Linklater, has a very intriguing filmography (Dazed & Confused, A Scanner Darkly, Fast Food Nation, School of Rock, Before trilogy... what?). To add a little salt for the peanut gallery...

Odd usage of the IP put aside, it could be an amusing game.

Not well enough for Australians!

I saw that a while back and forgot there was a thread. It is indeed very stupid.

The final scene is to prepare the Dexter vs Wolverine movie.

Let it be known I strongly disagree with the notion Red Dragon is superior in any way, shape of form to Manhunter.

I guess they tried to go for a The Shield ending but... Hanna got even more of the Vic treatment than Dexter!

You must be thinking about Warm Bodies. It was surprisingly good.

That's stretching the definition, because the only thing they have in common is that they are both all star cast big budget heist movies with action and comedy. The plot is completely different. Nevertheless, I recommend The Thieves warmly.

You give it more than a solid B. You give it acapitalB! Something that, as all can see, is exceptional coming from you.

Guy has the T-shirt from Van Sant's Elephant.

What were they testing with an operational H-Bomb not meant to explode that they could not test with something else?

huh? What are the originals for those 'remakes' ?

Don't delude yourself into thinking one is a fantasy and one is not. They are just two different fantasies. Unless you are a career politician and can attest one is closer to reality than the other, you are only confronting your own fantasy to the ones of the show writers.

All the online movie seller/renter that I am aware of are geolocalized because of film rights. So it's likely you will not be able to see in the US the films you bought in Germany. A solution could be to use a US proxy while in germany to create a US account for these services. Another solution...

What worries me is that it seems like an evolution of a very popular genre in japan: randomly generated dungeon exploration. There are several Dragon Quest spin-offs (Torneko) and FF spin-offs (Chokobo Dungeon) based on this concept and I can't see how one can be interested in them for more than...

12 Monkey is a remake of a short film by Chris Marker called La jet?e (The Pier). Though stylistically very different, I would say Marker's film is the best of the two. YouTube has several versions but with spanish subtitles. Hulu has it too, but I can't check it thanks to...
