Heheh... heh... blue pages... bring me more... bluepages! Not the red ones! Don’t bring the red ones! Not to him!

... Sorry my vision went red for a moment there, and when I came around, I had punched a hole in my monitor. Had to get a new one. What did you say?
Try Myst III, you might beat that one! I love puzzle games, but I’m not very good at them. Myst III was about the only one I felt was solvable. Arguably the easiest puzzles in the franchize, and they updated the graphics to a 360 sphere of vision, instead of the slideshow. It was pretty cool.
Oh, and Brad Dourif is in…
We can rebuild the graphics! Better, faster, stronger! Or... you know, whatever. HD, visually remastered Myst, in VR, with the original soundtrack. The sheer atmosphere alone would be enough to carry it.
No. It would be fun. Old games that seem basic in comparison to modern ones can still be fun. I mean, you could say the same thing about Half Life 2. It’s a product of its time, and it informs modern shooters and video games. It is, as someone who played it for the first time relatively recently, still fun. I probably…
Nah, Frasier is good, don’t worry about it. This sketch is... well... less good. But the actual show was pretty good, and retained its quality for a surprisingly long time.
I was going to like this comment (as a simultaneous Frasier/Trek/Arrested Development fan) but I see you have exactly a dozen likes so... yeah, I can’t ruin that...
It’s easy enough to render anything the holodeck is projecting in black and white, I should imagine. Perhaps for the live people the holodeck projects a holographic shell around them in black and white that mirrors their actions? You aren’t actually looking at a living thing, but rather a hologram projected around a…
Possibly, but honestly, it needs to happen more anyway. It does seem to be a growing trend, which makes me happy, but I’d like to see more theaters re-screening older films. Most of my favourite films are films I never got to see in theaters, because I was either too young or... well not alive when they came out. I’d…
Eh, it makes sense to me. I don’t share the feeling, but I can really easily see getting turned off by something that seems so... ... well, really nonsensical. In a way, it is being hung up on the story. It’s the sort of story where robots have television heads for no readily apparent reason. (I’m not caught up, but…
That is true. Fortunately we have the ability to worry about more than one thing at a time. I myself worry about everything all the time, including the fact that I’m always worried. And you yourself have demonstrated the validity of this point by complaining about people worrying about coffee when there are bigger…
No, it pretty clearly lampoons religion. Not the entire film mind, but the Brian as the Messiah sequence is pretty much entirely at the expense of religious mindsets.
What many people assume is that the film is sacrilegious, which it isn’t. No jokes are at the expense of Jesus or any other religious figure. They’re at…
That really does complicate things, but overall I’d say it’s still a valid statistic. After all, if only one is treated by society as nudity, only one is regularly filmed as nudity, which means the way the scene is blocked and shot aids in the objectification of women over men. We could eliminate the issue by…
I may not be much of a movie nerd, but Douglas Adams says you’re wrong (http://h2g2.com/entry/A171839) ergo you are wrong. Argument from authority is only a fallacy when the authority is not Douglas Adams.
Second, not only was Memento a good film, but it’s actually one of the more accurate depictions of amnesia in…
... I think it was honestly more to do with the fact that all the numbers changed into a big round one. Which is, if we’re being honest, the point anyway. No one cares if it’s actually been 2000 years or not, because it almost certainly hasn’t been. The only real thing to celebrate is seeing the counter tick over.
This... has got to be one of the stranger “x was better back when I was a kid” things that I’ve ever heard.
Also... I did play the original Risk, and as someone who is bad at Risk, I much prefer the versions where you don’t have to continue playing for two hours after your demise is already a foregone conclusion. I…
I qualify as a Milennial, and I used to play Clue when I was a kid. Somehow we actually wound up in possession of a cheap little Clue computer game, made by General Mills. ... I kind of want to find it again, actually.
See, I’m remembering that good scene in Man of Steel where he leaves the...er... Spaceship of Solitude and starts flying about, and is actually smiling and enjoying it. (I think there was a second good scene in that film, but I don’t remember it. I might just be thinking of the bit where Clark Kent is in a Royals…
I’m going to quote myself here: “This is really beside the point. The point is if the U.S. is truly exceptional. How I would improve it is really another argument.”
Which is why, honestly, I knew at the time I shouldn’t even talk about the issue, because all it would do is allow you to shift the topic. I did it…
Okay, because you wanna move the topic somewhere, else, let’s break it down. There is no metric by which the US is superior to anyone. The US is not the most diverse place in the world. (Canada is more diverse.) The US does not have the best educational system. We also can’t blame that on the diversity because Canada,…
