I wonder what a true 1:1 translation of a modern third person shooter from gamepad to a virtual environment such as this would be. Would a game like Titanfall or Modern Combat even be playable by anyone who isn't in decent or even spectacular physical shape if real world mechanics were required to control action on…

This is a great comment.

Eh, that's not even the most ridiculous thing about Batman. The fact that one man can become an expert detective, scientist, psychologist, ninja, etc, perfect crime fighter and expect to become a bullet riddled mess when he starts fighting crime at age fifty is ridiculous. When you get right down to it Superman is…

Nah, Batman's so tough you can throw him into a concrete wall and it's the wall that craters, not Batmans skull, brain, torso, bones, ligaments, organs, etc. etc...

They probably didn't score a product placement.

End of Evangelion made my heart go 300 beats a minute watching Asuka fight with everything she had, off plug, and to see her reach for the sky after losing her battle, struggling, hoping against hope, but knowing how it would end. It was a shattering moment, American media has a problem with not allowing for unhappy…

I like both EoE and the TV original ending. The TV ending totally marked me as a teenager, it revved up my mind in a very cool way. EoE is very good too, I think it delivers an even greater emotional punch. It's not just cool action scenes + a mindscrew.

I disagree. One of the key points in this film was that Clark received messages of realistic caution from his parents, rather than simply a good, wholesome, midwestern upbringing that somehow perfectly prepared him to step into Jesus' shoes, save the world and never, Ever, EVER kill anyone (except in the comics where…

You mean the writers would have invented a convenient (and entirely implausible, if pattern holds) way for Superman to lure the villains away so he can, yet again, get his cake and eat it to... you are, essentially, making my point for me.

It bears repeating here:

The difference is my Hamilton self-winding watch is a classic looking timepiece that will still look good in 25 years and I don't even have to plug it in nightly. It'll also probably appreciate in value. This, on the other hand (pun not intended) will be worthless in 25 years and look ridiculous.

Price isn't so bad but like... my phone already does all this stuff. And my tablet. So why do I need a watch too?

this. It should've been MGZ (metal gear zero), just as it is MGR for rising. not really a fan of the big boss era metal gears.

before watchmen? really? are they that desperate? probably because the movie is a cult-hit somewhat? i hope they dont make a movie out of it next.

the prequels as expected are cash-ins on the…

You're missing the point. As he said up earlier, the reason we don't like most prequels is because they answered questions that no one asked or already HAD answered. What do those games have in common? They have original stories that don't treat already established canon. MGS3? It covers an entirely different…

It's like 9:45 in the morning and I just got back from a funeral, so my thoughts are kind of muddled. Apologies.

The God of War prequels, my god, I didn't even know it was possible to make Kratos a bigger dumbass.

We find out in Ghost of Sparta that as a kid the gods took Kratos' brother away and Kratos swore he would get his revenge on them (especially Ares)

Windows! Windows! Windows!

Personally,

I'm debating building a hackintosh.

Seriously, if it wasn't for commercial software I HAVE to use, I would use Linux. I just love being able to make my work space MY work space.

You know I'm sick of all these weak-kneed articles about building comps at a price point where you KNOW you can't go too far wrong. What I want is to know what sort of a computer I can build, for $5-10. Show me THAT, and I'll know a true geek.
