“They Live” is totally cult. I love it! A friend of mine told me about that movie a few years ago. Everyone I know who is into horror/sci fi loved it but most people I know who go for mainstream movies either haven’t heard of it or thought it was “mehhh”.

Is it wrong to admit I’m feeling some serious Star Wars fatigue? I like some of the ideas and things that are coming out, but there is just so much of it, it seems.

Another 9/11 related story: Here in Chicago I heard one and knew immediately what it was. F-16 flying CAP intercepted an airliner that reported an in-flight disturbance. Turned out to be a mentally handicapped adult who panicked but otherwise didn’t do anything. News reporters interviewed a passenger who said she was

I honestly hate playing Diablo-esque games with friends until I’ve beaten the games on my own at least one time. It’s a drag. I don’t get the full experience because I need to keep up with the group or get power leveled or just skip past story. It’s awful.

The bottom line is that George Lucas had 16 years between Jedi and Phantom Menace to complete episodes VII, VIII and IX. And then another 10 years between III and VIII. He didn’t do anything. If he really cared he would have created the movies himself.

Yeah I'm hoping they'll update Forge to allow REQ weapons in soon. There's a lot of potential there.

Halo 5 needs a Firefight mode badly. It’s totally possible too, and will be awesome with REQs.

Now playing

I’m sure the movie will be fine, but man, I miss that deep bass voice from the cartoon. Always how I imagine Apoc’s voice.

This is so stupid and NOT funny at all. I was high as hell and instead of making me laugh, it pretty much sobered me up. Thanks.

I can’t say I enjoy the story more in Halo 4 and haven’t played Halo 5 fully.

I can sum up the issue with modern Halo games in one sentence: you have to read the books to enjoy them. The Halo 4 campaign blew me away, and is probably my favorite of all the Halo games. Why? Because I read the Forerunner Saga and it was amazing to see such a pivotal character as the Didact in action. Everything

Agreed. At no point did Halo 1/2/3 have a serious plot and Bungie basically half-assed the narrative throughout.

I might be in the minority here but I’m preferring the story in the 343i games than the Bungie ones. Bungie had the big space opera feel but everything was very cliche; genocidal enemy, humans are the underdog, you play the ultimate soldier.

Might be some nostalgia-colored glasses you’re wearing. In the Bungie days, I can’t count the number of times I made my way from set piece to set piece with no idea why I was doing what I was doing (besides killing aliens) or going where I was going (besides the fact that I was corridor-bound to go that way). It’s not

I’m so disappointed that I dismissed Enterprise early on (like, midway through the pilot) and didn’t revisit until a decade later - it turned out to be one of the best of the series.

Really not a plot hole, J. Things that are not explained are not automatically plot holes unless the (eventual) explanation contains contradictions.

Nobody likes it. The old school Trekkers don’t like it and it’s not attracting new Trekkers.
