  1. Argh, I totally meant "Quake-like", and not Doom! CoD isn't inspired by the Quake engine--it literally runs on a heavily modified version of it.
  2. Ok, just to clarify: when someone says a FPS is "Halo-like," do they actually mean it's "Quake-like"? You know, in the way that people call certain MMO's "WoW clones" when in fact they are Everquest clones (including WoW). I've never played Halo, so I need some direction here.
  3. Xenoblade didn't need it, but yes you can set up the sensor bar on PC.
  4. You can play Wii games on your PC. True story.
  5. If by Halo you mean ME3 Multiplayer, then I would agree. If you mean it just looks like a FPS, then I say "DUH."
  6. PC Master Race FTW. Of course, it's only an MS timed exclusive, but no reason to wait for PS4 when one can go PC.
  7. The trailer looks horrid, and I have no interest in this movie. I'm here just to vent about Neeson.
  8. Why is Neeson being type-cast? After all of these years, it's as if they've decided he can only play "Taken" roles.
  9. Because what the world really needs is another preachy, pretentious, James Cameron movie. Am I right?
  10. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35468&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1
  11. I've never seen The Boondock Saints. True story.
  12. It's a matter of perspective. The actions of all of these characters directly feed some central motive, and you "root" for then to achieve their objective. This is not true of William Foster. That's the whole point of the ending of the movie, really, and it forces you to reevaluate the thoughts and feelings you had while watching it. In my book, Jack Burton will always be a flat out hero.
  13. FF7 isn't Justin Beiber or Lady Gaga; FF7 is the Beatles or Led Zeppelin. You confuse what is momentarily popular with what has sustained influence. You may not like it (just as some people don't like the Beatles or Led Zeppelin), but it doesn't change how it is universally viewed. And to your complaints about everyone being the same, well, that's been status quo since the introduction of the Jobs system in FF5. I actually kind of agree with you on this one, but its been the way of things for 20 years.
  14. Indeed, LOL. You know me, usually I go on and on about this stuff, but I think "WOW" sums it up pretty nicely.
  15. I disagree strongly with William Foster from Falling Down. The revelations at the end of the film completely destroy any notion of his actions being just or righteous.
  16. 8 had a great intro (essentially, you're training, if I recall correctly), but the rest was such a boring slog. But man, nothing was worse than 2. I'm surprised the franchise continued on past it.
  17. Ok, I am going to be "that guy" (and yes, I know I do this a lot): the hipster hate on FF7 is a little ridiculous. You cannot ignore the signifigance of the game and its impact on the gaming industry. It may not fit your tastes (which is fine), but to call the product mediocre, overhyped, or even bad is simply ludicrous. Personally, I've played and completed Final Fantasy 1-12 (excluding 11) and Tactics; I've beaten many of those games multiple times. My first experience with the franchise was the original on the NES. For my money, FF7 was the last in the series that actually felt like a proper Final Fantasy game to me. Sure, 9 came close, but it goes off the rails on the last disc. 10 isn't too far off the mark, but its a clear move away from the traditions of the series. 12 is grand, but has a host of problems and could have been named anything, really. I put the question forth: have any of you played 2 and 3? The originals, not the remakes? (I emulated them back in the day with english landguage patches. Yeah, I'm that guy, too). You cannot truly understand a bad FF game until you've played the original 2. And 3 is among the very best in the series, absolutely not to be missed. But hey, that's just me. I still consider the original NES FF is my favorite of the franchise.
  18. I'm story complete in GTA V, and currently sitting at 88% completetion. I haven't had a lot of time to play lately.
