  1. I don't know about most people but the trailers have been pretty good so far. Nolan's involvement also makes me hopeful. But, let's face it, there hasn't been a good Superman movie is a very long time. I personally liked Superman Returns but it wasn't exactly what I'd call a great movie...
  2. It's like every new trailer is better than the previous one. I really hope the movie lives up to the expectations. I don't think I've ever wanted a movie to be great more than I do this one.
  3. I just woke up and started taking it all in. So far all I can say is I'm disappointed that Remedy's new game isn't Alan Wake 2.
  4. Even better would be if Bob Saget voiced the game as an older Batman, telling the story to Daemon Wayne. And that's how I met your aunt Robin.
  5. I'd be okay with that. It's still stupid because, honestly, how much can a man's voice really change? Certainly not to the point where he'd sound like a completely different person. But having Conroy involved in such a manner would at least bring some level of consistency. Unlike some other recent voice actor change...
  6. Well, watched the finale. It was good and definitely the best episode of the second half of the season (the Neil Gaiman one was pretty good, too), but I disagree that it was the best finale. It wasn't as good as the whole Pandorica thing. This entire season's arc was just bad, imho. The previous finales had great build-up to them with the cracks in the universe that showed up throughout series 5 and then the whole Silence thing was infinitely more interesting. Half a season was simply not enough to properly develop this whole Clara thing. Pretty curious about that ending, though. Looking forward to see where that goes.
  7. Well, glad to hear at least the finale is good. Watching Journey to the Center of the Tardis atm. It's alright compared to the last two but that's not saying much.
  8. Just finish them off, then. The weird thing is there are times where THEY attack me, then when I manage to hold off their attack (and I'm just holding them off, not pushing back), they end up offering me a SHITLOAD in exchange for peace. Never fails to make me laugh.
  9. Well that depends on how long you've been playing. If you just started playing and jumped straight to Prince and are really struggling, then yeah I'd recommend taking it down a notch. At least until you learn the game a bit. Maybe see if you can win on Warlord. Anyway, we should stop being off-topic too much or Dean's going to get mad and swing his mod-axe at the thread.
  10. I fell behind after a couple of episodes and just started catching up. Watched the submarine one and the haunted house one. This season is kinda shit so far...
  11. Oh, yeah, if you neglect building a military, you can get demolished pretty fast. Learned that the hard way. I have the game set to autosave every 5 turns, so when it happens I just go back a bit and prepare for the attack. Sometimes it makes the AI decides not to attack attack at all.
  12. Hahaha, really? What difficulty are you playing on? Me, it's just that I started playing again after like a year and mistakenly picked Prince difficulty. Turns out I wasn't quite there yet but now I'd rather try and beat Prince than go back to Warlord. I'm on my fourth attempt over the past few days now. I don't have a problem lasting, I just end up giving up when it becomes clear that the A.I. is way too far ahead for me to be able to win. Last game, I gave up around 1960AD. That one stung a bit...
  13. I really need to play this fucking game already. Getting a bit tired of losing at Civ V, so maybe I'll give it a shot next.
  14. Two of my friends and I watched the entire 20th Century Boys trilogy over the past two days. It was so fucking good. The first one was the most captivating of the three because it sets up all the mystery and Urasawa is pretty much a master a crafting those but overall it was a great series. I think I still like Monster better, though.
  15. Beat the main Arkham City campaign a few days ago but I only got around to playing Harley Quinn's Revenge today. Was my first time playing it. It was alright. Nowhere near as good as the main game, but that's to be expected for such a small bit of story-based content, I guess. I'll gladly take something like this over more challenge rooms. Also, I really enjoyed playing as Robin. I loved Rocksteady's design for him and thought it sucked he only ever showed up in that one short scene. His move sets is also pretty fun, wish there was a way to play as him in the main game.

    Windows 8

    So what are you doing with your other hand when using the mouse? Mine is pretty much always on the keyboard. And yeah, you have to learn the shortcuts before they'll actually be more efficient. I'm not sure how that's even a counter-argument... It's not like it's difficult to learn them, there's only about 3 I use regularly. And I realize I seem to be in the minority here. I just don't understand why that is. Windows 8 feels completely similar to 7 to me, with the biggest differences being quite negligible. I never really understood why there's always such strong resistance to change when it comes to tech, actually. It just seems so fucking ridiculous to me. I had a friend pretty much lose his shit over Win 7 when he bought his current PC. I tried talking him through it a bit but he wouldn't hear anything. He was just so angry because of how different it was.

    Windows 8

    Not 20 years but something like 15 years, starting from 95 up to 7. Hell, even had a shitty old machine that used Windows 3.1 for a bit. Skipped the Windows 8 tutorial entirely yet still managed to find my way around. Granted, it was annoying at first and some stuff was a bit hard to find initially. But after about a week, I got used to it. It's literally the same fucking thing as Windows 7. Literally. It just has an extra layer of paint on top of it. And I've been ignoring that extra layer, for the most part. I can't think of a single situation where learning a keyboard shortcut isn't more efficient than using the mouse. Personally, I'm glad to have been forced to learn some of them. I initially pinned a shortcut for My Computer to my start screen because I was so used to navigate from there and I couldn't find a direct way to access it. But I've barely used it since I found out about Win+e.
  18. I was also curious because you said "tactical" so I assumed you weren't talking about Mass Effect.
  19. Rurouni Kenshin. The recent live-action adaptation. My friends has told me it was good but I didn't expect it would be THAT good. It probably helps that we were all big fans of the anime back in high school, though. Here's hoping for a sequel based on the Shishio arc. That would be just about the best thing ever.
  20. Well, that was fast. Yesterday there was a rumor that 24 might get revived and today it seems like the deal is done. Pretty happy about that. I miss Jack Bauer. :(

      "24: Live Another Day"

       

      I think I might like 12 better! But yeah, seems weird, but hopefully the hours they skip will make the story flow a bit better.

    3. Thursday Next

      Thursday Next

      Could just do a 12hr story no? Most 24s I remember the first 12 were a lead in threat or misdirection, then the real stuff kicked in.

      I like the idea of skipping hours. Maybe Jack goes home for a power nap or something... he is getting old, after all.

  21. Looks like the writer of Spec Ops: The Line is involved. That's pretty cool. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-13-xcoms-new-perspective-how-the-bureau-stays-true-to-the-originals-strategic-heart?utm_source=feedly
  22. Decided the Gamersgate deal was too tempting, so I went for it. Also this, because I loved rage. Of course, the sale was a big hit so they ran out of keys for Skyrim and the Rage DLC. Hopefully they'll get some more soon. :/ edit: also About time it came out on Steam. And now to finally beat it.
  23. Pretty much. I wasn't going to get the Legendary Edition until it went on sale (cause you just know they'll be charging 59,99$ for it). It's tempting because I just had my last two finals today. So, with basically fuck all to do, now is kind of ideal for a game like Skyrim.
