  1. The him doing so in enough time to beat the bomb is where this remains a problem, though. Unless we should be led to believe that part was non-linear...which we weren't,
  2. I...I would buy an audiobook of Brave New World as read by Hardy's Bane...
  3. Considering about a third of the movie is filmed in IMAX, I would disagree. Though I do agree that those theaters are awesome as there's one near me and it was pretty great. But there's no way I wasn't seeing this in IMAX at midnight (or in my case, 3:40am since the midnight showings were all sold out). IMAX was sold out for midnight [sold out by 3 pm the day tickets went on sale], the theater has yet to add a later morning showing, and I'm 99% sure I'll be seeing it again, so I should say that for the options I had to see it at midnight, it was a good tradeoff. Besides, I don't really want to have to line up for two hours before they'll let us in, hope I get a "good" IMAX seat (as close to the center of a row as I can get), and be by myself (therefore, hoping that if I have to go pee before the movie starts that my seat isn't sniped). The IMAX being sold out for midnight is the best thing that happened to me because the balcony seat won't have these concerns AND I can probably get in to see it a few days later at the IMAX without too much of the same issue.
  4. I'm pretty excited for this midnight showing because I have a local Warren theater. It has a balcony for patrons 21 and up only in its grand auditoriums. For a very slight upcharge over the normal price, I have an assigned seat in the balcony. Functionally, I can show up 2 hours early or 5 minutes early and still have my same exact seat, guaranteed. I think it was a pretty good tradeoff to not be able to see it in the IMAX at midnight.
  5. And if you already bought it (and maybe paid over the average the first time), then they went ahead and gave them to you as well.
  6. Pretty much Skummy's spoiler and thoughts on the ending from me. I really enjoyed it. I didn't enjoy the easily startled child next to me.
  7. My want list is looking a lot like everyone else's...although the Bioshock: Infinite delay bumps it into the neighborhood of Tomb Raider and South Park: The Stick of Truth. My wallet is going to be sad.
  8. Just picked this up for PS3. TwistdFate for invites/etc.
  9. I went to high school with Adley. I like that the Internet seems to have universal hatred for her being passed over in favor of the other girl.
  10. I think it would be far more fair to compare it to Harry Potter. I think it is really easy to market it toward teens (and more specifically, teen girls), but the books catered to a much larger audience in a way that something like Twilight really didn't/doesn't.
  11. Having bought and played both, I vastly enjoy Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer and style of play more than Battlefield 3's. Then again, to be completely fair, I think the games are so far apart in play style that a comparison of them simply isn't fair. Or maybe I'm just saying this because I feel like the learning/skill curve on BF3 is too steep given that if I'm playing certain game modes, it consists of me walking around the map for a good 5 to 7 minutes before being capped by a high level enemy with a bunch of goodies attached to a weapon while I'm stuck with something that is comparatively shit. (AKA, I apparently suck at BF3 and feel little to no motivation to play it long enough to be able to get "better"). Also, for anyone on PSN that enjoys Kill Confirmed, I'm TwistdFate if anyone ever wants to play a few rounds.
  12. [Funkasaurus]Muh bad![/Funkasaurus] Ah, law school...the obstacle to Skyrim. I'm sure that really should be the other way around, but I don't care. I'm enjoying the game a lot and because of law school and my delay in getting the game (I got it right before exams started), I think that the PS3 lag issue may be solved in a patch before I have to worry about it happening to me. I, too, enjoy the immense freedom to do whatever you wish. And also love how I'll be on my way to do something and then wind up doing something entirely different because of all of the stuff there is to do in the game. I just hope that when I do decide to stop dicking around and go back to the main storyline quests that I won't be so leveled up that I just mess anyone or anything up that tries to come after me. Case in point, I tried to do the whole Greybeard thing pretty early on instead of sidequesting, so I was traveling in that direction and got attacked by a bear. At that point in the game, low health and shitty armor meant that I either had to run or face pretty quick death. Now? I can fight two bears off without having to worry too terribly much about my health. That said, I still don't fuck with dragons. Or if I do, I hope that I'm close enough to a giant camp to make the dragon fight the giant/mammoths.
  13. Don't know if this has been posted here. Makes me wish that I had this for PC.
  14. It comes in at 14-15 seconds in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CHue7QAPH4 That's legitimately creepy. The computerized voice is sorta...seductive sounding....
  15. Contents, sir. Although any details you'd like to give past the OP explanation would be greatly appreciated as well.
  16. If I were to buy something like KABOOM!, what would I be getting? Seriously, though, this is REALLY cool.
  17. Well, I guess I need to be fair. It's more written off rather than abandoned. I just found the new identity thing far more compelling than one ended up happening in the long run, especially because the "on the run" episodes sort of dragged.
  18. This has actually been a trend for the last couple of seasons, I've noticed. It starts off slow, with a somewhat new situation (or at least a new location) and some wacky stuff happens...and is then promptly abandoned. For example, the hotel situation last season and the new identities.
  19. My midnight Imax screening didn't skip the trailers. I declare victory!
  20. If you don't think they're telling the truth, but you don't have the evidence that proves the lie (listen CAREFULLY to the response because you often times end up getting asked to prove something you didn't think you would based on the question) then, surprise surprise, the answer is DOUBT.
  21. I haven't watched the video quite yet, but this sounds like it might be like The Killing Floor in regards to making players afraid versus HOW MANY ZOMBIES CAN WE THROW AT YOU!
  22. Well, the convenient thing about accusing someone of lying is that you can still back out of it if you don't have the evidence. Probably hurts your rating, etc., but you CAN back out of the accusation because the questions do change so dramatically when you do that.
  23. The final flashback after the credits was neat. I enjoyed it a lot. Finished all of the street crimes today. So, now I have like twelve more landmarks to find, 70 more cars to drive, all the film reels to find, and the DLC cases/badge pursuit I have access to. Oh, and replaying cases for a better rank, but that's less important, I guess. My playtime clocked in at about 19 hours, but I stopped driving myself around toward the end of the game. That makes a LARGE impact on total gametime.
  24. Anyone that wants to make the game more challenging for themselves: turn off the musical/vibration cue for the investigation part under gameplay options. For further "fun", turn off the musical cue for when you find all clues. I beat the main story cases yesterday. I need to go back and replay a couple that I did AWFUL on, then maybe try to 5* all of the cases. I also need to get the Traffic Case and the Naked City case when the Playstation Network Store comes back. Obviously haven't done any of the badge pursuit. Found all the newspapers. Haven't found any of the film reels. I think I'm at 16 landmarks of the 30, and I've done about 3/4ths of the street crimes. My rank/level was 19/20 when I finished the game. Thoughts on the story (heavy spoilers, especially noting how some things connect) I thought it was a really great game that was definitely worth my money and time. I loved what the team did with the setting and the cars/driving aspect (including being able to skip it at will). It was a very familiar mechanic that the setting made fresh for me, so I really enjoyed that. I also liked the different partners for all of the desks because they were each really memorable in their own way. I think the game got some excellent performances from the actors and that the technology behind the performance capture was definitely the right way to go. It'll be interesting to see how that technology is used in the future. I think the overall story was also fantastic without going into any details. The characters were compelling, the overall arc was well done, and I think the way that everything works out feels genuine to the game and the noir genre. Personally, I don't have any major complaints about anything because most of the stuff I would gripe about is stuff that the developers built in a mechanism for me bypassing entirely, so good on them. I hope this game gets some DLC loving in the future, such as a new desk, etc.
