    Pacific Rim

    MK holds up remarkably well. The Crow... is a set piece, that if you weren't a part of that scene/culture at the time, means very little. The soundtrack, for those of us that were able to differentiate music at that time-frame (most of my friends were pop-listeners, not into...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Bard af2 looks like Locke from FF6 recolored. I am 100% OK with that.

    Pacific Rim

    Haw, I've had that CD since I was like 14. (I think) It's a strong Soundtrack, but for 1994 and The Crow? It isn't even comparable. The Crow's soundtrack perfectly encompasses the time, the feel of the movie, and everything about it. Hell, at times it seems the movie was written around...

    Man of Steel

    Not arguing that Superman "should" find alternative solutions that continue to promote his idealistic view on morality. What most of us are saying is that in the context of the movie, the option he chose was literally the -only- option available to Superman who has been Superman for... less...

    Pacific Rim

    Just adding, but the Crow had probably the best soundtrack that wasn't a Daren Aronovsky soundtrack containing lux aeterna. Dead Souls by NIN is my favorite soundtrack song -ever.- There is no competition: it simply wins

    Man of Steel

    Gotta quote this. Because it makes zero sense within the context of Man of Steel at all. Superman is not Gollum. Gollum was borderline powerless in the LotR shit, minus him having once held the One Ring. Superman is -always- fucking powerful, and it is only through plot devices that he is...

    Man of Steel

    You are metagaming superman. That's dumb =/ Superman has no idea what the limits of Kryptonian biology are. At this point, he is Superman -only- because he has finally accepted the mantle of someone with extreme power over others and the will to withhold that power. He has none of the...

    Man of Steel

    This is an origin story, dude. Superman doesn't have the Fortress of Solitude, or his super intelligent robot sidekicks, or a cadre of super friends to supplement his intellectual weakness. He's a guy from Kansas who has super powers. Have you talked to anybody from Kansas? My experience is...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    I'm not sure that Time should be the only factor. See, here's the thing. Those 20 minute intervals where we sat around in Lguk or KC or Seb waiting on spawns and talking about tv/games/life in general? Still exist. Just that they take place in a) voicechat, b) facebook/social media, or c)...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    See the faction tab on that screenshot? You click that, and then it opens a window. Click on "Nameless" and type whatever. Takes a little bit to update.

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    Assuming that the OP isn't trolling the waters, I'll bite. MMOs are quite social. The issue is that it isn't the -same- type of social behavior that existed during the "old days." This is largely due to things like Facebook, Smartphones, voicechat, and social media in general. Back in "the...

    Fall 2013 Anime Thread

    Game of Thrones doesn't have a plot that revolves around a super tiny outfit on a (seemingly) teenage girl. Literally, Kill la Kill is -entirely- about skimpy outfits on young girls, because the skimpier the stronger. Latest episode backs me up! I'm not saying it isn't hilariously great, but...

    12 Years A Slave

    Looks like a great film. Astro is gonna Astro, but that doesn't make this film look any less promising. Also: F limited releases, we live in the digital age. I would understand if a theater doesn't want to show it, but with a cast like that? C'mon.

    Fall 2013 Anime Thread

    Log Horizon, much like SAO and .hack before it, reeeeally makes me want to have a virtual mmorpg to play. I suspect this feeling is really sort of corralled among mmo players, but it really comes to the forefront when watching these anime. Also, Kill la Kill is hilariously awesome. And...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I tossed it some money like a year ago, and it is still -very- much in alpha/beta mode. I like what it proposes, but it still needs quite a bit of work. Still hopeful, tho~

    Drugs suck. For people who don't do them. For the people who do? That shit is manna. I've done my fair share of the harder shade of drugs, and I realize the inherent pull that accompanies them. Either way, anything that looks like necrosis as a side effect is right the fuck out with me...

    match the song with the movie (game)

    #2 from above (Mad World by Gary Jules) is from Donny Darko. The scene where he gets into bed before getting hit by the plane's detached engine. edit: I want to say #1 (John Murphy) is the scene in Snatch where the pikeys are enacting revenge. Could be wrong though.

    Terraria

    Corruption becomes something of a problem after Wall of Flesh (hardemode gateway mob) also small maps have 3 islands, medium have 4, and large have 5. Generally speaking, of course. THe Minishark is worth it... sort of, if you like ranged combat a bunch. And you generally should! It...

    Nine Inch Nails - New album is done

    With Teeth was actually a super solid album in my opinion. It has The Hand That Feeds, which really puts NIN's place in music at the time in pretty decent perspective. The Only and Right Where it Belongs also deserve a top 10 NIN Songs ever mention, if not outright belonging in the list. As...

    Terraria

    The Brain of Cthulhu boss is a pretty great giant worm replacement. Samish mechanics in that you want stuff that hits multiple targets still, but different enough to feel fresh. And like basically every time I start a new map, I got a hilariously OP enchanted boomerang almost right off the...

    Terraria

    I'm game to rock around on a new server. Got a single player map going atm, kind of strange finding tons more iron/tin than copper at the start, tho! Already have an umbrella that slows my fall while I have it selected, and a pair of claws that let me ride walls and do wall jumps and crap...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    Or, it would be exactly as I said. It sounded like the song that Tool plays, up until the vocals that sound nothing at all like Tool came in. But! You love straw men and being a dick around that fact, so hey, more power to ya. Yes, I said they copied the song perfectly, and the only thing...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    Too much of their attraction comes from the very Maynard-specific vocal style. The guitar/drum sound is fairly unique, even if emulated in other acts. But it really comes down to Maynard's vocals that really bring the "tool" sound together. Said it before and I'll say it again, man has the...

    WarCraft (2016)

    This would have been a good idea like... 3 years ago. Today, when the game is on a slow decline? Probably not so much! That said, WC3 (maybe not Frozen Throne so much) had a solid story. The easiest way to tell it would be from Jaina's viewpoint, so that you can have this stalwart and...

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    Almost every badguy (and now the good guys) have been going through multiple stages, and they are completely forgettable because there's no reason for us to care even a little bit. The Espada had boatloads of buildup, so them doing multiple forms was cool. These Sternritter fucks? Have had...

    He could have done so much more. Show the captains busting out new moves on henchmen in the thousands or something. Stop with this one on one "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM" bullshit over and over. Lets see some asskickery before we get to the shit duels. Because in the end, anything that...

    Nine Inch Nails - New album is done

    So, I like this album a lot. Probably not surprising since NIN is my favorite musical entity ever. Standout songs are clearly Everything,Various Methods of Escape, and I Would for You. With Various Methods of Escape being the best song on the album. Possibly my favorite NIN song that isn't...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh yeah, I'm glad I'm in and doing stuff. I just feel for the folks who weren't able to get in during one of the windows and haven't gotten the chance to be a part of it yet. But with the GC unlock/choco obtained, it's time to settle into leveling all the tradeskills and the gathering classes up.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Admittedly, I would have been happier had we gone with a less populated server simply because of queues/forum bros not being able to join. But I'm happy with what we've got, and I don't think I feel like rerolling(lol) to another server at this point. Plus I just got my F'n chocobo.

    For creating new characters, might just be until the queue calms down a bit. For reference, with my character on Gilg I have a 230 person wait. Edit or fucking zero! They must have a timed response to queues atm

    Oh, I don't need money back, hence the "give" part =p I work/school too much to contribute on the endgame raid scene much, and I honestly love the crafting/gathering stuff in this game, so I will most likely be flush with coin sooner than average. But if you already have it covered, that's 'aight~
