Brendan Gleeson is contemporary youth? Oh, you mean the bad guy. Well, he IS supposed to be a psychotic killer who gets jacked off by his drunk mom, so…. pretty much like many of my generation.

I just thought it was just like Return of the Jedi: A shinier rehash of the first. A real disappointment after Finders Keepers went out of its way to do its own thing. I would have KILLED for a third novel where something different happened, maybe have Hodges take Brady on a Rain Man-esque road trip, anything.

He must REALLY hate trains and sweet meats.

I figure it'd be more like a crime series featuring a Detective catching bad guys with his wits and charm.

The book is pretty good but also not much of a Stephen King novel. I'm sure the Ohio setting has something to do with it, the world he builds in the novel is believably bland and middle america (no offense, well, maybe some).
The best part of the whole narrative is something that to talk about would be to spoil the…

You skipped 500 pages?!?! Whoa.

Probably because King certainly developed some depression after the van incident.

The worst part about Wolves is how much the first 150 pages are concerned with setting up Books 6 + 7. On reread, my mind groaned in horror realizing how much plot real estate the whole "Mia" subplot took up. And the whole Calvin Tower buying the Vacant Lot subplot also lasted a book too long.

Parappa the Rapper! I loved playing the demo disk of that game then!

Strange, I'd figure being sober would make videogames pretty boring over the age of 20… maybe that's just me…

What was wrong with Oddjob? And why do people like the Slappers Only mode around here so much? Sounds fucking boring, my gang only tried it once. For me it's all about mines and machine guns. Or we'd set our own parameters like "Only use the weapon each of you is best with, no exceptions." I was best with proximity…

It only sucked if the person was a lurker who didn't engage in the round at all until he'd watched what your character was doing for long enough. I had a friend who would grab the sniper rifle in Halo 2 and just camp out, watching everybody else's screens and lining up his shots from a high snipers nest. Lame.

The first party game? I'm pretty sure people were gathering to play all sorts of 1st and 2nd generation stuff in the 80's… Bomberman for SNES actually was a pretty great game that got replaced by Goldeneye 64 in my circle of friends in 1997…

What the hell is Perfect Dark even about? There's your answer. Branding goes a loooooong way.

Did it slowly dawn on you that the effort was really for naught, since it's just a game? That is the main impedes for going back and unlocking stuff in old games: Life is short and this just doesn't really matter, does it?

What? Are? You? Talking about?

Well the modern standard is "this game must replace your actual life, like that Bruce Willis movie Surrogates"

Twisted Metal Black was such a disappointment. Hell, everything after Twisted Metal 2 and Vigilante 8 2: 2nd Offense was quite a disappointment.

How about Blast Corps, War Gods, Mace the Dark Age, Superman 64… wait, are we just listing 64 games or are they supposed to be good games?

It was a good way to spot the noobs, when they held the controller the wrong way.
