I'd do it. Just about to graduate with a Film Studies major...like that matters.

I did that too...

No clue. I've only done it with Liu Kang and Raiden.

I decided to see what my special spam could do to the Ladder on Expert mode...not much, as it turns out. Seriously...FUCK THAT. Absolutely ridiculous. Back to medium from whence I came. I only got like 2 or three matches up the ladder. Scorpion on Expert is ridiculous to fight against.

Yeah, you definitely have to turn into playing like a little bitch to beat the bosses in this game. AKA, a normal Mortal Kombat game. Especially since you can't stagger your opponent and they will be able to disrupt a combo onslaught WITHOUT using a breaker. You either have to jump around them (cross jumps), teleport for characters that can, and spam ranged special attacks, etc. or a combination of all three things. That said, you can fuck up Kahn's shit with Raiden once you get the timing down on the teleport and the flying slam thing. Kung Lao handles pretty well for those purposes. I love the x-ray attacks for how brutal they look. Fatalities are expectedly AWESOME, although I haven't done really any of the stage fatalities. I'm so glad they included a fatality mode in training to make it easy for players like me that want to see what all of the regular fatalities look like. I do NOT regret purchasing this game.

You do have to have a fantastic story, but you also need to be a pretty decent writer. Sure, your concern isn't camera angles or even really transitions or the technical side of the issue. And writing in specific reactions/emotions for characters can be somewhat troubling, but having a great story AND a great voice are very important. How you go about describing your setting and story tonally can work wonders for the screenplay. Yes, you don't need details like "A red phone sits on Hank's table beside his couch" unless that phone is really important, but you probably shouldn't excise all details because that's really the time for the voice to come through. I think a screenplay that shows a really good example of the voice of the writers is the screenplay for (500)Days of Summer. And I echo what's been said about the monster movie idea.

To be honest, I'd rather not see other directors try to shoehorn in their version of Batman to the world that Nolan has created, even if he's sticking around as a consultant. Especially depending on how Nolan chooses to end this. I have a feeling that Nolan is going to handle this one in a way to give the his envisioning of Batman some resolution, and I don't want the studio trying to rein Nolan in so their next movie makes narrative sense.

Because the paper glasses in almost every circumstance were the OLD SCHOOL red-cyan anaglyph versions of 3-D, which were technologically inferior to the sorts of 3-D they were pulling off in theaters. For example, the Coraline "3-D" release prior to the 3-D TVs. That said, I'm not a fan of the current tech for the 3-D TVs, but that's just me apparently. I think after some refining, the technology will improve greatly. That said, there are VERY few movies that I've seen where the 3-D was just better, especially because very few movies I've seen in 3-D in theaters have properly compensated for the amount of brightness/vividness of colors that is cut out by the lenses.

The Hardline Pro change is a long time coming.

Can anyone PM me an address for the "store" where I may procure GPS2?

Oh FUCK! Zombie bear!!! I may have to get this...

Holy. FUCKING. SHIT!!! http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ten-minute-demo-bioshock-infinite/704931

I'm offended that there's no love for the animated version... But Two Towers all the way. First is pretty slow, and the third one would have taken it by a landslide if I wasn't still pissed as how long the fucking ending...S dragged out. When I went to see it in theaters for the second time, I walked out thirty minutes early because I didn't need to see all five endings again.

My review (some spoilers):

I got to play a few hours of 10, and I would say the various improvements and tweaks and stuff made since last year definitely make it worth it, even if you refuse to play with Gameflow. So, if you liked Madden 10 and are itching for what I would consider to be a BETTER Madden game by enough of a margin to drop $60 on it, sure. If not or if there are other games you have been dying to play, go for those and either wait for Madden's price to drop or just sit it out till next year.

See, I was semi-fortunate insofar as I never got to FINISH the original BioShock, so I didn't think that BioShock 2 was godawful (I actually liked it... ) This, on the other hand, looks fucking epic. Hard/foolish to speculate at this point, but are we leaving behind a city in the sea for a city in the sky? Even if not, art direction like whoa, so fuck yeah!

Even worse now that blocking actually works exponentially better. I humor myself into thinking that this is the way those people actually play the game. EDIT: I'll stick to FPS or racing games or something for online multiplayer. At least then I feel like I have some sort of proper control or viable countermeasure. And excluding people that exploit and hackers and whatever, I tend to think I actually died to a player with some skill instead of "lol, my WR qb sure runs fast with my entire offense moved up onto the line to make a wall"

Played my first game online against another player last night. Likely to be my last game. I had forgotten since playing Madden online last year that most people just decide to do silly things to win as opposed to playing close to how an actual football game would go. Oh well.

Yeah. But to be fair, the falling action/slow part doesn't drag on as long as it could.

http://maddennfl.easports.com/blog.action?blogId=GameFlowandStrategyPad Pretty good explanation based on what I think are fairly reasonable statistics about why they went with the Strategy Pad.

Kingdom Hearts II. Heavy Rain. To a degree, Red Dead Redemption. Call me crazy, but I really struggled with the beginning of Dead Rising.

As counter-intuitive as it may be, I think this MAY be something that plays out slightly different in the actual retail version. I think they're more about giving you a taste of something new to see what the response to it is.
