I don’t believe the term “vajayjay” existed in the 80’s. I was pretty little, so I might be mistaken.

Yep. thanks to how enemies scale in the game, the hillbillies in Point Lookout are absolutely awful. I was at level 30 already, with most of the best gear, when I first entered PL. My character was a beast who could dispatch Deathclaws with a single shot. Then I got to the mansion battle and consistently got my ass…

No way, you’re definitely not the only one. Using the map was the only way to go, as far as the jumping was concerned. Back in olden times, I must’ve done half of each level with the map on.

I still have those games and my N64, and I can assure everyone, they are absolutely brutal to get back into after getting used to current gen gaming. Especially the first game. I still love them dearly, but the mechanics of the games, and the N64 controller interface, is incredibly difficult to work with. I long for…

Don’t try to talk sense to people with axes to grind. A handful of nerds on the internet collectively decided that Age of Ultron was a MASSIVE disappointment, and henceforth we shall always refer to it as such.

Same here, actually. As much as I’ve fallen in love with the Halo series, Legendary is just too obnoxiously difficult for me to do solo. But I managed to finish all 3 Gears games on insane, thanks in part to the fact that I had no problem with playing and replaying the levels over and over again. I can’t say that…

No, you are exactly right. I basically couldn’t agree with this more. I definitely think that none of the movies various plot-points make particular sense given what lore TNG already had by that point. And First Contact was perhaps the beginning of Picard’s character becoming whatever the plot, or the Fx department,…

Yep, it was fun and stupid, but kinda uplifting in it’s own way. I enjoyed it a lot more than Jurassic World, which I only compare it to because I watched both about a week apart from each other.

The game’s designers have said that Horde in Gears UE would be quite limited, due to the limited number of enemy types in the original game, and I think that’s a pretty valid point- it would get pretty dull fighting waves of the Drones, Wretches, Therons, and Boomers from the original game. Epic added a much greater…

I loved all 3 games, but for very different reasons. The first-because of the dark, almost horror film atmosphere and because, at the time, it felt very fresh and unique. The second because of the story arc which, while incredibly stupid at times (poor Tai and Maria) was still pretty varied and never dull. The second…

I vehemently agree with this. The new Trek movies exist in their own universe as far as I’m concerned, while the shit-quality of the TNG movies actually managed to royally screw-up a show I care deeply about.

Exactly. And for my money, Star Trek ‘09 was a good movie. It shat all over the established Star Trek lore, but it was a really good movie in and of itself. The Io9 hivemind may not agree, but I’ve disagreed with a number of the blog’s proclamations on movies before. I won’t even try to defend the sequel however.

I mean, a rap group with 9 official members (excluding Cappadonna since he wasn’t on their first album) is crazy enough, but I never quite understood the relationship between the core group and the seemingly endless number “Wu-affiliates.” I mean, do they just kind of call anyone they hung out with once a member? Of…

And this person’s good fortune is another person’s lost job. Retailers get product occationally that is “street dated,” meaning that they either aren’t allowed to, or will be physically unable to, sell that particular item until a certain date. Breaking that street-date is taken very, very seriously.

I’m not sure about other species, but where I used to live in the southwest, our carpenter bees are these huge, beautiful black bees with a metallic blue sheen, as were the largest local tarantula-hawk wasp species. They are amazing insects, I adored them and use to paint pictures of them. I even had a small…

The secret is that nobody old enough to be reading this article is part of the target audience this movie is aimed at.

Don’t know if you’re serious, but I actually kind of agree. The most recent Japanese Godzilla movie I attempted to watch, I forget which) was marred by some of the shittiest acting and corniest (translated) dialogue I’ve ever seen.

“Maybe, finally, we’re going to have a modern Godzilla that works on every level.”

So basically, a bunch of wah wah wahing about about an unfinished segment of a game that somehow isn’t “proper Halo” and yet contains pretty much everything every other Halo game has had, and a few new things gleened from other top-selling franchises. That’s cool. Gotta type something to get paid, I guess.

Exactly. It may have turned out to be a pretty bad film, but ever since the first trailer, pretty much everybody had been dumping on it. There was no reason to, I actually thought the first trailer looked pretty cool. But, the fans were against the movie from the start, which unfortunately means that the realities of…
