Nah, this isn’t that. An entire town blinded by bloodlust would’ve made extra sure he was obliterated. Not thinking clearly is how a mob of people end up attacking someone to the point of overkill; not how they allow one guy to kill them all.

Yeah, I mean horror movie victims are practically supposed to be stupid so that the movies can happen, but everyone in Haddonfield was astoundingly stupid. Everything you mentioned there, and not just that the ones with guns were bad shots, but that they made it a point to shoot at him from close range. The fireman…

All of this. As an artist myself I almost lost an eyebrow from raising it so hard at that Van Gogh comment. I’d always liked Damon before but this whole quote is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard in a minute, and I routinely hear dumb shit. 

we tend to view paying for our annual expansions more or less as a subscription, rather than a purchase, so ‘paying for Destiny each year’ was essentially paying for admittance into the game, whatever state the game happened to be in at the time.

Thanks for the clarification! I totally thought I remembered the Genesis version saying “Get over here” but I wasn’t sure and second-guessed myself haha. Then when I checked I saw that console ports said “Come here” and figured I was right to second-guess.

You’re not imagining it, he says that in Shaolin Monks as well if you spam the move enough (it’s in the video so I didn’t mention it). 

I just checked, and that’s exactly it. They were only able to put “Come here!” on the console ports due to memory constraints.

I could also be wrong, but to add to that, I believe it was the arcade versions of the first two games that had both lines, and the home versions only had “Come here!”

Same, always been much more of a Street Fighter guy haha. But it always feels good when you land the spear and reel ‘em in.

It’s like how getting beat up and beat down are the same thing...

As far as ass moves go, Scorpion’s spear is indeed pretty cool.

Very interesting on the Destiny front. I used to be pretty in the loop on it even after I stopped playing because my housemate was really into it...like I’m talking logging 6000+ hours on XB1 and 3000+ on PS4 (he bought the Taken King PS4 just to have more stuff to do and get the exclusive weapons haha). Needless to…

Yup, it’s the reason you often hear of yearly franchises taking skipping a year or deciding to go every other year; yearly releases can stunt the evolution of the series, drop the quality, or both. We’ve seen the EA lengthen the UFC game development to two years, and Ubisoft slowed down on the AC games as well. We…

I’ll add “This boat runs on happy faces,” but really all of this is pretty cringe.

I think Far Cry just kinda suffers from a bit of sequel-itis like your CODs and Assassin’s Creeds. In a vacuum and taken on their own merits, there are definitely things to like about a lot of individual entries, but the constant stream of entries just casts a veil of staleness over the whole thing. I think there are…

Excellent post, basically breaking down what people consider guilty pleasures. Sometimes that guilt comes from knowing it’s bad, sometimes it comes from people insisting it’s bad, and sometimes (probably most times) it’s a mix of both. A lot of people like to present themselves like they only enjoy ‘good’ things, but…

Powdered Toast Man alone makes it better than Smash. All it needs is Billy the Beef Tallow Boy so we can deep fry some mofos 

I’d struggle through it mostly because Cheesecake Factory’s cheesecakes are like 80% sugar with some cream cheese loosely involved haha. Not that they’re disgusting and I wouldn’t eat them (I don’t think I’ve ever turned one down in my presence haha), but it’s never a place I think of when I want cheesecake because I…

That’s nonsense, nobody out-pizzas the Hut.

Pretty much spot on from what I’ve gathered. Not sure I understand the last part about the lack of “Simple and Clean” though; aren’t they using the orchestral variation of it that they’ve adapted as one of the main themes in this video? I didn’t really expect them to use Utada Hikaru’s version.
