That was kind of the joke. Some executive wanted the giant spider in I think a Superman movie, they wouldn't do it. Same guy got it worked into another movie, they wouldn't do it. WWW came around and he finally got his dream.

Sadly, the executives' desire for a fight with a giant mechanical spider will have to wait until a later movie for its narratively appropriate moment.

"…make sure the War on Terror is still going wrong."

I hunted for years until I found a copy of SH3 that still had the soundtrack CD with it.

Game soundtracks currently on my phone:

So many fedora-wearing patchy-bearded motherfuckers describing themselves as "Rennaisance Men" when what they really mean is "lacking the motivation to apply myself at any depth to anything", and this guy shows the true meaning of the phrase. I've always admired him so damned much.

I know evidence won't sway any of these nutbirds, but I get hair-pullingly enraged by so much of this. One of the things I picked up in trying to come to grips with war in general is a first-edition set of "Pictorial History of The Second World War", 1946. The camp photos in volume IV, "The Sixth Year" will turn the…

My family has always been military, and if it weren't for a shattered kneecap on a rope tower I would have been, too, but one thing I've gotten from my family is that war needs to be approached from a moral perspective. In studying war from a moral perspective (WHY and WHEN to fight, not so much HOW. Fighting isn't…

The problem with modern weapons systems is they are SO effective, things would probably wrap up befor the primary supply dumps were exhausted. We'd be killing each other so quickly and efficiently, NATO doctrine on using tactical nuclear weapons would have virtually assured their use (not making a values judgment.…

Meet the OICW! A 5.56mm assault rifle with a fully automatic 25mm grenade launcher integrated!

My favorite bit of that is Air Force technicians sent over to help with the START treaties, upon inspecting the launch facilities, all issued a collective "What. The. Fuck." The numbers were intimidating as hell, but since most of their launchers were liquid-fueled, requiring a delicate, well maintained system for…

'Whenever Cage is not on the screen, people should be asking: Where's Nic Cage?'

Ah, Grey's Memorial Hospital. A more deadly work environment than the Lexington, Ky US Marshal's office.

I started going gray at 20, but so far it's holding the line at a silver streak at the front and a few strays. Premature gray is a trait from my mom's side, and given what my dad's side of the family goes through, well, all I can say is this: "I'm fine with it switching sides, so long as it doesn't desert the field of…

"It is the distant future…"

Truthfully, I've never given mine a chance. I'm 29, and most I get is a little shadow at the end of the day that gets sliced into the sink in the morning.

I am a banana!

It's a little bitty place…

Everybody knows the Sparks Factory market was oversaturated in the mid-eighties. Reaganomics just sped their inevitable decline, with just a few scant survivors clinging on in '92. After the robot uprising, the efficiency gains robot labor could bring by automating spark manufacturing was just the final nail in the…

Ha! That was my deal too. I was like, "Great… Another no-neck bald dude…" And then the reviews came out and I gave it a chance. I love when developers make me feel like a chump for making assumptions.
