Man, skeletons should be in EVERY game.

I'll second the High Tension recommendation.

Man, back when found footage was still novel. I really dug this, saw it in the theater. Creeped the hell out of me.

She just needs to update the drivers. That should sort it.

No, because as an adult, it doesn't matter if the kid strips naked and jumps in your lap. It's your job to recognize that she's a child, and that you aren't allowed to have sex with her for ANY REASON.

Wow. I think the douche woman who actually wrenches the ball from the grasp of the little girl is by far the scummiest. She just walks away all smiles, and gets a high five from her asshole friends. Adults acting like freaks over a baseball. Pretty pathetic.

That game haunts my dreams, it was so hard! I never really knew what I was doing or whether I was making progress. I just wandered around those weird rooms until I fell on spikes too many times and my game ended.

I guess it's pretty much the sedan's fault. Which is a shame, because I have no sympathy for the douche in the lambo. He's obviously going way over the limit for a residential area. He's lucky he ended up in an accident that's going to be judged the other guy's fault, instead of plowing over a kid on a bike or someone…

I think the first book in the Dark Tower is brilliant. The next two are serviceable, if you like what they're selling (in my case, multi-dimensional fantasy/western/horror with a badass gunslinger protagonist is a "yes, please").

I am all for directors interpreting the story differently from the book they're working from. In fact, I think it's absolutely necessary. I think as many movies have been ruined by trying to be TOO faithful to the source material as have been ruined by straying to far.

Alan Wake is my current favorite horror game for visuals. Say what you like about the gameplay - it has issues - but they totally nailed the look and atmosphere of the remote mountain town. Gorgeous, gorgeous backgrounds and scenery. Made me wanna go camping.

This is something I've been thinking about. I think it's possible to find someone who you don't feel that burning passion for, but who is a perfect partner to build and share a life with.

I think it's partially a sci-fi versus fantasy thing. Cap is a sci-fi hero, WW is fantasy. I think most people just prefer sci-fi. Pretty much all the blockbuster comic movies have featured science-based heroes...Spider-Man, Batman, Hulk, Superman, etc. Only magic-based one I can think of is Thor. I think the whole…

Yeah, I was trying to figure out why they even bothered to make this a prequel. I thought maybe they didn't want to deal with figuring out the aftermath of Arkham City, but you might be right about the joker thing.

"the battle goes into a few very rapid quick-time sequence."

Yeah, there's no real plot to speak of in American Nightmare. More like a series of repetitive fetch quests. It's heavily combat-oriented, without the original game's mood or tension.

Props for the Alan Wake mention. That game blew me away, especially because from what I'd heard I expected it to be fairly mediocre. I haven't played many games with such an excellently developed atmosphere and mood. Great soundtrack, as you say. And though the gameplay was fairly simple, I found it really satisfying…

Those goddamn skeleton dog things were the WORST.

I had a similar problem with Amnesia. When a game gives you weapons, then monsters can theoretically appear at any moment. But when a game relies on escape or hiding, the signals that a monster is about to appear are much more obvious, because the game starts providing you with lots of hiding spots or escape routes.…
