Somewhat ironically Kojima said Road Warrior Max is one of his biggest influences for mgsv.

There are more pitches that are rarely mentioned, possibly because nothing was ever completely hashed out or they're just rumors. WB went after David Fincher for awhile with a hard-R idea but he declined knowing he'd have little freedom. My favorite was a Dark Knight Returns adaptation directed by and starring Clint…

Had to stay in most of the weekend with the ac maxed or risk dying of heatstroke. Walked my miles before it got too hot (even then I was sweating off a pound per mile); have dropped almost forty pounds since April so that's good. Drank a few beers and ate pizza. Nothing major.

Started a new game of Stick of Truth Wednesday night; chose the fighter class this time. I'm trying to platinum the game but so many trophies can be missed it's not funny. Might play through Arkham City again to get ready for Knight. Thinking about finding a used copy of New Vegas too.

Yeah, kinda reminds me of vaudeville.

Didn't help that Orthanc screamed "bad guy's lair" from the first reveal, immaculate gardens be damned.

"Isn't that the same machine that makes noses?"
"It can do other things! Why shouldn't it?!"

There was also a punitive and compensatory damages telethon skit that I can't seem to find online. O.J.'s stunned at the lack of donations and gets progressively madder. "You guys better start donating money or I'm gonna have to come to your house and ask for it. And you don't want O.J. coming to your house, do you?"

Especially when the first sentence of the article gives the date.

Getting adblock eliminated commercials for me. Can't tell for certain but the lack of breaks also seemed to help the stream from crashing (comparing to a non-adblock browser).

Always considered 30% Iron Chef one of my favorites. Never been a fan of vinaigrettes so I laugh when Helmut disses raspberry vinaigrette as part of the dark side of cooking.

Hey Danny just because you had a bit part in T2 doesn't mean you can blow off reunions because you think you're too good for them.

I'm summarizing somewhat.

I remember playing San Andreas for the first few times and being almost overwhelmed by the scope. Driving out of Los Santos into the tiny redneck towns and forests was an eye opening experience. I seem to recall doing the vigilante missions in the country were much easier than in the city.

Probably trying to be the counter programming alternative to blockbusters. I imagine some at Sony just want to be done with it also.

After all, who needs courage when you have a gun?

Association with the Wachowskis probably. When their clout dried up so did his.

Ames was just full of bad decisions. The whole company went under four years after the purchase. Yeah, Hill's toy selection was great. Looks like GC had already shut down before I was born if wikipedia's dates are right.

Walked six miles every day, swam at my complex's surprisingly empty pool & got swimmer's ear, ate ribeyes grilled with my foreman (turned out much better than I expected), and bar hopping.

Probably was. I didn't start watching until 2002. Great way to unwind after middle school.
