Wow, I'd completely forgotten about that psuedo-leftist 'flavor of the month.' However, as outright dishonest and stupid as those things may be, I'm far sicker of the right wing panic-mongers that...

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about that psuedo-leftist 'flavor of the month.' However, as outright dishonest and stupid as those things may be, I'm far sicker of the right wing panic-mongers that...
Having a few years of experience spending time around hippy-dippy environmental science graduate students, I've run into this kind of nonsensical crap about a dozen times. The only causes that seem...
Now that my degree shit is out of the way, I've decided to start reading some of the Star Wars Expanded Universe novels that I never got around to years ago. The lot I picked up on eBay includes the...
Yes...exaggerated and angry things might sometimes appear in a thread that's here for venting anger.
To be sure, I'll admit that, yes, I can be a hyperbolic prick who sometimes (probably often)...
Thanks for making my point. Lest we forget that being from here somehow always gives a person a pass on being explosively aggressive. Oh it's okay...I'm from Jersey and that's how we roll...(I hope...
Because NJ's the microcosm of all the worst things in America - an over-competitive consumerist shithole where there's no sense of civil society whatsoever. It's nothing but suburbs full of people...
I've wanted to read the Wheel of Time series for years, but only got through the first one and have long since forgotten it. I had a hippie roommate during my freshman year of college whose entire...
Yeah, that's certainly not this crowd. At the expense of oversimplifying a little, I can't help but think it's a Jersey thing combined with an art/music-scene thing where the end result is a very...
I've got those two games taunting me on the other side of my room because I'm bogged down with a nasty school project for the next month-and-a-half. I can't wait to play them.
I share this sentiment.
The last movie I saw was Hugo and I thought it was wonderful.
In talking to me person-to-person, they're totally cool about discussing gaming, game music, retro games, etc.. but in groups of more than two (with these same individuals) and especially groups that...
The latter's probably the way. I'm not sure there's an effective way to call them on anything without getting myself ostracized as some sort of negatively-charged 'hater.'
I feel like living near...
Does anyone here hang out with a bunch of people who (a.) clearly play a shit-ton of video/computer games, but (b.) publicly act as if they don't play games at all and that 'gaming' is some sort of...
Etrian Odyssey is a great game. I still have to play through the 2nd and 3rd games, especially since I'm planning on being shamelessly brand-loyal and pre-ordering the upcoming 3DS title.
On a...
The first movie's reputation is a crock. It's really just notorious for its over-the-top Cold War fantasizing. That said, your peers do sound like they're living up to the stereotype that they're the...
It's probably also kind of dead, but the Destructoid Writers thread was another good idea. From my perspective as a complete outsider to all the NARPs, inside-jokes, and apathetic gaiety (or...
It's hard to tell. The bad localization on the game makes it nearly impossible to tell what's going on. At the least, it's still a lot of fun.
My girlfriend's new to games and has been playing through Final Fantasy VII for the first time and I'm reminded of just how abominable that game's spin-offs and movie sequel were in comparison with...
Rise of the Guardians - 7.5/10. A structurally-sound and visually-stimulating kids' movie that felt like a variation of the Monsters, Inc. blueprint.
Whatever. I'd rather see newer filmmakers and screenwriters creating movies that have staying power rather than emulating the over-stylized flash-in-the-pan shit that guys like Tarentino, Robert...
Django looks stupid. Quentin Tarantino's an overrated bullshitter who's made a cottage industry out of a cheap and pastiche-laden attention whore's approach to film-making. He's done about as much...
I'm waiting on American releases of Shin Megami Tensei 4 and the remake of Dragon Quest VII before I dump money on that thing.
Credit card debt.
Also, game OSTs and sheet music books.
Back on my Wild ARMS 2 file on the PSP. The main character just hauled off and punched out the crippled guy he takes orders from.
I had the same issues playing both Tales of Symphonia and, far before that, Secret of Mana, and I would suppose it's because action RPGs are not for me. I don't enjoy having to button-mash my way...
