This does succeed in acknowledging the use of shields and biotic powers. It's a general gaming pet peeve of mine to equip my character with all the best gear and then watch a cutscene where none of it is represented and one bullet or sword blow would be fatal like IRL. Advent Children also did this, even going so far…

I will defend this movie to my last breaf. When I saw this in the theatre, and that checkered flag portal opened up, my brain exploded. I had never seen a movie like it and I haven't since. It's easy to mention the visuals, but really the acting is what makes the whole thing work. It would have been easy to poke the…

I actually always recommend the rebuilds to new viewers. Not only do they make the story easier to digest, they do the unthinkable by making Shinji likeable. IMO the rebuilds are the treatment the series and fans have always deserved.

I can't un-see The Lizard's best "Blue Steel" face.

I'm really glad you're including Misfits, Charlie Jane. I actually have fallen out of love with the show, but still recommend it.

This is actually very encouraging to read! The trailer looks so B-movie that it turned me off, but maybe it's just that the effects don't translate to the small screen when not in 3-D? Specifically there's a part where there are a bunch of what look like turrets or something shooting across the chasm of the apt.…

“Planetary meiosis!”

I agree. I did end up ultimately going with the destroy ending for my personal "perfect" play-through, because I want to live, dammit! And also, I couldn't help but feel that I had a duty to follow through with the explosions everyone expected.

It's the only ending that allowed me to stand by my belief that organic and synthetic life could live together in harmony without synthesis, control, or destruction. That makes it the best ending by default, not by its own merits IMO.

Good thing they added that 4th refusal ending, eh? -_-

Yeah, I continue to be baffled. The extended cut doesn't drastically change any of the existing endings. It's not the "director's cut" which implies that the original was not the director's vision. It's not the "special edition" which implies that there's sprinkles on top. It's the "extended cut" which implies that we…

You summed it up much more efficiently, thank you. I'm glad we agree. It's been tough for me to find the real reason behind my dislike of the ending and that is definitely it.

I don't understand, either. The main overall point I got out of these games (I have PS3 so I my only experience with ME1 was the motion comic) was that every race and species has its own unique and valid traits to bring to the table, be it organic or synthetic. Our differences are important, keeping us individuals and…

Forget the movie, you just made "graf" a thing. Spread the news. 5 grafs or less.

There was the head of one in X3...that's good, right? RIGHT?!

Yes. Tossing out X3 and Wolverine is the best way to go. The only problem is Xavier's explanation of his and Magneto's history to Wolverine in X1. It doesn't match up at all to First Class.

And I forgot about that damn monkey thing! Ugh. I tell people I like that movie, too. They must think I'm insane.

When R2 and Chewie play that holographic monster chess game in the original Star Wars, that was stop motion.

The Citadel is still largely intact, as seen in the slideshow. My interpretation is that when we see the breath, he's waking up in the rubble of the Crucible.

Although Bruce will always be Batman, sometimes I get tired of Bruce. I really like the "idea of Batman" and that storyline allowed for a different view of what it means to be Batman when you're not the intense, grim, billionaire genius that Bruce is. Through Damian's eyes, we could respect how hard Dick (and by…
