    hyperloop

    Color me shocked if that ever gets built AND actual people actually use it. I mean who does not want to be shot down a concrete tube while laying in a metal coffin?

    You're Next

    It was at a movie festival I went to and it had a very favorable buzz surrounding it (I just checked and it won the public's award). Did not get to see it though.

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    Probably The West Wing, because it has everything in it, is very good and is very long! So by the time you see the last episode you are about ready to see the first one again! What book/movie/game/whatever never got a sequel despite your hopes and prayers for one?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    With the first Xbox they dropped their pants a couple months after release. This 180 months before the release makes me believe the pre-order numbers are not bad, but dismal. The 1 to 10 ratio on this thread's poll is probably not representative of the general pre-ordering public, but even if...

    The Newsroom S2

    I disagree, I think the whole episode was great, which is no small feat considering how many storylines were meshed. If we want to nit-pick, you could say being sued for assault is probably more damaging in the eyes of your bosses than a sex tape.

    Name that game

    Kickle Cubicle! I know because when I browsed NES puzzle games to identify Ice n' Fire I stumbled upon this one and also dowloaded the ROM! EDIT: Just played a couple dozen levels and it's a lot more action than puzzle, witch is not too hot when the controls are those of a puzzle game!

    Name that game

    So this Solomon's Key 2 aka Fire n' Ice game is pretty cool. I only had to check a walk through for 3 puzzles (one was just too tedious, another required insane outside the box thinking that would have never occurred to me and the third had a monster dodging start that I would not even have...

    On Amiga? I can't find an Amiga screenshot, but the PC, SNES and Sega CD versions have a different border. Resolution and palette seems Amigaish too.

    Live on youTube right now: Badminton World Championship Finals

    A thrilling final that ended up with more drama than wished, as Lee Chong Wei injured himself and/or brutally cramped up at the very end of the final as he was closing the narrow gap between him and Lin Dan. That might generate some post match drama too apparently as it seems the air...

    The Wolverine

    To those who ask 'why would he not?' The answer is: 'Because the side effects (acne, baldness and alteration of the vocal chords are not exactly good ideas for an actor and no one is interested in reduced testes and heart deformation) are not worth the reward' It's not like they are going to...

    On a side note, I spent the first few episode wondering in what other movie/show the actor playing Bohannan was until I realized he just reminded me of Dominic 'McNulty' West... am I crazy or?

    This seemed like an odd version of F-Zero... and google in fact tells me it's a screen shot from BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 (an expansion to a version of F-Zero that was only released in Japan through download via theSatellaviewservice) I thought the bottom game was Fairy Tales, but it's not :/...

    No. I learned about Kwanza reading The Boondocks and about Hanukkah... probably some american movie or TV show... I want to say The O.C. (though that seems a bit too recent...). There is no black history month in Switzerland! A question around that theme... what is the most surprising and...

    Spelunky

    Huh? I played that game a couple years ago on PC. And it did not look like a flash game too... EDIT: It seems it's the PC port of the XBLA port of the 2008 PC game... (there were additions going from PC to Xbox along with the change in visuals - for the worse in my book). PSN version supposed...

    School play when I was... 12? 13? Around that. It was less than a play, just a single scene with a dozen static characters that we performed at an end of year school party or something... I ended up being the guy with the most lines, which was a bit silly because I am a procrastinator with no...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Part of the GM's job is also to help and advise during character creation. You can't punish a player for making a character that you allowed in the first place! Same goes with players joining a group with a character made with another GM: adjust the scenario, adjust the character or have a new...

    Dexter

    You are not wrong, but there are levels. Sometimes you let things slide, suspension of disbelief, understanding some corners need to be cut and that realism must not go in the way of a good story and all that, but... sometimes it's just too much. I found this chain of events particularly grating.

    The Newsroom S2

    - Deus Ex Machina is still lame, even if you joke about it. - 'Superhero journalists' is a bit retarded, even when you write the bonding between the kid and Maggie, considering the kid is presented as a relative of the guy in charge of the orphanage. - The flash back of the kid touching...

    Hi! My name is Quinn. I am a brilliant detective. There's this guy who left the scene of a murder and who knew the victim, but because the witness recanted and his father is an important member of the community, we did not confront him about it. Since it leaves a sour taste in my mouth, I decide...

    R.I.P.D Rest In Peace Department

    I was surprised to see how destroyed that movie was on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not great, it generates more smiles than laughs, it feels like a second serving of Men In Black that does not really find its own thing, but the story is without fluff and unpretentiously goes to its point, the cast is...

    I'll not try to pretend I had ever heard of this game before browsing MobyGames! My first guess was Robinson's Requiem, a survival game from the early '90s. Having never played it I investigated some more and it has a sci-fi theme (crash-landing on an unknown planet) it's in first person and...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I don't mean Miyamoto is to blame for the situation, but he is the problem in the sense he has been the Nintendo brand for the past 30 years. A status that has even been reinforced with time when you consider the lack of good third party exclusives on their more recent home systems. Nintendo's...
