And in other “Old short films you might have missed the first time around”, we have The French Doors.

In which a guy doing some home improvement accidentally opens a doorway to... somewhere else:

Ah, The Cell. Very pretty film, in a strange sort of way.

The game, ultimately, *should* push all players to join the Empire. I find it puzzling that anyone would decide otherwise.

In the main story, it is revealed pretty clearly that the whole rebellion thing has been engineered by the Dominion, and that even Ulfric himself was perhaps one of their tools. And that so long as…

I think it’s one of the film’s greatest failings (leaving aside its gaping plot holes) - the fact that Finn never actually revisits his origin over the course of the entire story, except for that one stupid comedy moment with his “I’m in charge!” bit.

Like, he’s so messed up by the slaughter at the beginning that he…

Um, it also probably has something to do with the fact that the Vikings were pirates, and could be absolutely barbaric and brutal. That is the definition of viking, after all.

I mean, don’t get me wrong - the culture of the Scandinavian and Germanic peoples was a lot more interesting than people give credit - and it’s…

If the Space Wolves were real men, they’d be the Space Kitties, and their rite of initiation would involve them proving they have the courage to touch the fluffy belly of a cute little bundle of claws.

Just the one Chaos god. And they didn’t invent the Warp. The Warp was there to begin with. Slaanesh was brought into being because they kept having kinky space goth orgies and trying to become Pinhead.

I find it deeply unsettling that everyone’s reaction to this seems to be “aww kittens” and “here’s a funny cat pun and/or picture”. For no real reason, a cat was subjected to an utterly terrifying experience.

And don’t give me any nonsense about science - France was irrelevant to the space race. Them sending up that…

Except in my opinion, they’d kinda have to explain how the Reapers allowed them to leave aboard this ship in the first place, given that the Reapers were hanging out in the darkness beyond the edge of the galaxy, and “The Organics might actually try to leave the galaxy in a big spaceship, flying right past us” would…

You’re making some pretty hefty demands, while acting as if it’s all such a small and inconsequential thing. I think consumers of various art forms forget their place in the equation - as much as artists rely on an audience in order to make an actual living out of their art, that doesn’t really mean the audience is…

I have an old screenshot kicking around here somewhere of a bug I encountered during the early days of Burning Crusade... never actually understood what I’d found until now:

During some combat, I noticed the combat log kept talking about a “Quest Bunny” and how it was emitting “blood spurts” or something similarly…

I think really the point is, you shouldn’t have to work on it. You shouldn’t have to apologise when you felt bad because someone *tried to make you feel bad*. That’s like apologising for saying “Ow!” when someone punches you in the face.

Because that’s what it really boils down to. Bad sportsmanship is about…

I think good sportsmanship should be taken far more seriously than it is these days - I really think the Halo developers should have actually tried to punish people somehow for teabagging, for example, instead of turning into some kind of FPS tradition.

Good sportsmanship isn’t just about general, abstract notions of…

That’s the thing I think people are missing - Insurrection and Nemesis weren’t particulary good by movie standards... but from a Trek fans perspective? They were true to the spirit of the franchise. They felt like long, slightly misguided TNG episodes.

I still don’t get why people keep specifying “Into Darkness” - I would say the same thing about the entire new Trek franchise. It’s all so painfully stupid and offensively cynical - nothing about the visual style is consistent (sleek, gleaming white corridors and crazy lens-flare bridge, yet a brewery for an engine…

To be fair though, Troi got telepathically sexually assaulted more than once over the course of the TV series. I don’t think you can really blame Nemesis for digging up something the show itself used repeatedly.

Hell, the TV stuff even reversed it a few times when it started to run out of ideas (the DS9 episode where…

They already did the Picard against himself thing though in First Contact (which I maintain is a better movie than people give it credit) - the whole point of that story was that it’s the final chapter in him dealing with his Borg trauma.

And really, if you had any “Picard against himself” scenario, it would *have* to…

You’re forgetting the part where the Enterprise *FALLS* from the moon to the Earth just because its power cut out.

And then Spock shouts “Khan!” because YOU’RE A FAN OF WRATH OF KHAN, RIGHT? REMEBER THAT MOVIE!? DO YOU REMEMBER IT!? WE’RE TOTALLY FANS OF THAT MOVIE TOO! ISN’T THIS GREAT!? AREN’T WE CLEVER FOR THIS ROLE…

Ah, ancient memories now make sense! One time, back like... in truly ancient times, I was grinding the Scarlet Monastery solo, and something freaky happened due to my repeated entry/exit+reset antics... suddenly I found myself dead, and in Hillsbrad.

I had to run all the way from Hillsbrad to Tirisfal on ghost-foot.

Now if only someone would make a good quality Sega Genesis/Megadrive controller for PC...
