It's not just the aesthetics and cumbersome nature of the menus that gets me, but the terrible music they insist on using for them. I don't quite get why they're able to pick (admittedly constantly worsening) licensed music, yet fill their menus with stuff not out of place in games -before- GT1 was released. But yeah,…

I think, going by the trailer, that at least some of the cars from the last game that were standard are now premium (such as the Audi Quattro Rally car), and I'd imagine that the 200 or some from the last game that already were, wouldn't need much done to them, so a lot of time can be spent updating the older models…

Any time I see him, I just think of Small Soldiers and 'heh, my password's Gizmo'. Also, he was on Never Mind the Buzzcocks once, because he was making Todd Margeret, and they gave him some 'useful' trivia about the UK, which he delivered with aplomb. He was literally handed factoid cards at the start of the show, and…

From what I could tell of the costumes, they were more or less used as a description of their personality. Clover was young and bubbly. A little scatty, but mostly innocent. Alice was old before her time, and very exotic (her skin tone is much darker than any other character, too). The guys all have equally useful…

Indeed, that's why I posed the question the way I did. It seems to me you're running a great risk not having any input in your finances, and if societally you're predisposed to relying on others in such a way, if something does go wrong, it can be catastrophic. Of course for many it might never be any issue (I'm not…

Something I noticed was that a few of the cars in the trailers are ones that were 'standard' in GT5 (The Audi as well as, I believe, an Alpine). This makes me happy.

You're very welcome.

Well, they were turtles before they came into contact with the ooze and Splinter. Being in close proximity to a human anthropomorphised them, while him being in a sewer around rats made him like them. I always imagines the digit discrepancy was more down to his gradual change into a man-rat, perhaps halting the…

A Regular Game? Oooooooooooooooooooooooh!

I think he means transparent in that they know how much money they have, and it's all accounted for, so if either was holding some in a secret account it'd have to be money from some job on the side. If you know each month how much money you have between you, then unless one is lying about their salary, it's pretty…

How is that resolved when there's a divorce? Is a man in this situation in a similar predicament that a lot of women might be in elsewhere around the globe, I.E fighting to get a legal share to the money they rightly have a claim to, or do separations end up less messy than in other countries? Also, I can imagine that…

Indeed, though the reality is this is due to limitations in prosthetics and budget. I personally would prefer to see actual 'alien' looking creatures, but I wouldn't single out a single program just because they are forced into using a humanoid aesthetic. I can understand it being a bugbear though, because it's too…

Whilst I agree the main antagonists look like albino humans with little attempt to really differentiate their appearance from humans, this isn't exactly new to Science Fiction. I suspect they probably wanted a more 'alien' aesthetic, but for some reason changed their mind. I am not actually disliking the show, though…

Far Out Prediction #364:

I deliberately avoided joining a more hardcore raiding guild simply because it looked like few of them actually enjoyed themselves. A friend went off to increasingly better guilds and just seemed to lose all his joy. He was always driven, but usually had a lot of fun just doing whatever he applied himself to.…

The funny thing is I remember back when GTA III was announced, and Rockstar said it'd have a lot of this stuff, including pedestrians calling the police and the EMS. It was going to have a really dynamic feel that really, not even the later GTA games have truly delivered on. So this promise has been around for over…

Saw that seen? Scene, of course. what a terrible mistake. I need a superhero for this!

Yeah, that was more or less my thinking. I replied to another person (who had replied to me) where I mentioned the oldest example I could think of where this happens, and it's The Princess Bride, of all things. Inigo Montoya and Westley fighting is all about trying to win while handicapping themselves. I am sure there…

I think it's safe to say that with the cliche of holding back power, almost any hero, if faced with a swathe of villains pouring out of hell, might just realise 'hey, y'know what, I might just need all my power for this.' ^^ Having said that, this film sounds so utterly off-kilter that I wonder if it's even canonical.…

I always saw the Power Rangers and other such characters as not going 'full-strength' at the start due to chivalry, or a version of it. As in, a good guy isn't going to go into a fight at full-power when it could easily be too much for the enemy and lead to an unnecessary death. So they'd size up the opponent, realise…
