If you haven't seen it, TheOneRing.net published a fantastic essay about the potential breakdown of the three movies. It's all speculation, but it's great. Plus, it bolstered my already-high expectations for these movies. Here it is, if'n yer interested:

It's all VBR stuff. Sounds pretty good. Of course, like you said, there's also FLAC.

Listen, Ray. Next time, when somebody asks you if you're a god, you say YES.

While I'm definitely interested in the subject matter this documentary presents, the trailer almost entirely derailed my desire to see the film. It was just so overblown in its presentation. Heck, the trailer even has the cliche shot of a dude underwater in a swimming pool that films have been ripping from "The

Thumbs up.

Thumbs up.

And I'll back you up:

I completely agree with this. It's one of the reasons I like the way Netflix breaks down it's five star system: 1 equals I hate it; 2 equals I disliked it; 3 equals I liked it; 4 equals I really liked it; 5 equals I loved it. It's a great way of giving a quick rating while admitting the "rater" is still being

Zach Snyder? Is that you?

Also agree.

Agreed. Although I know a lot of people don't care for the movies, I think this is something the "Paranormal Activity" films pull off well. Most of the tension is created via waiting for something to happen or seeing only smatterings of activity.

Hmmm...OK. But I do like the semi-randomness of Scissor Man's appearances — never knowing if he'd be in a room you were entering. Sometimes hiding wouldn't work, either; he'd just find you and either kill you outright or give a brief window for escape. It made the moments in which he was exploring the room in which

"Maniac Mansion" nailed this pretty well. I mean, the game's more comedic than terrifying, but I think some of the atmosphere was kind of creepy. I was always waiting for something awful to happen.

I can't agree with this enough. Most of "Silent Hill's" atmosphere and tension is created by sound. The opening moments of "Silent Hill 2," in which James slowly traipses down a hill to the sounds of some unseen creature snarling off-screen, are incredibly tense. You're just waiting for something horrible to happen.

How about a mechanic similar to "Clock Tower's"? Your only means of defense is to toss random objects at Scissor Man, escape to another room and hide. It can be pretty intense.

I really love this idea. Somebody should hire you.

I think when Rockstar says "complete" they mean "finished." I don't think any representative would come right out and say, "We sold you an unfinished product." Instead, he's saying they have more expanded material planned for the future.

I love playing and buying MTG cards, but have never been an avid collector or one who works diligently to create themed decks. Usually, if the art looks cool, it goes in the deck. As such, I tend to lose a quite a bit, but it's all in good fun.

Great. I really enjoyed the first "Prey." It also had one of the best openings of any game I've played.
