Its one of my fondest gaming memories.

I spent hours angrily lamenting to friends about how "ITS JUST A BLOATFLY WITH A STINGER, WHY IS IT SO POWERFUL." I literally put more bullets in that thing than its total mass.
Despite how many warm emotional moments I had playing the game, and how often I remark on the design strength - yeah, the bugs were super-prominent and would strip the game of its immersion immediately.
Speaking of the giant robot moment, I think that's an interesting way to make the world feel bigger than you. In pretty much any other shooter, you'd have control over it (Gears of War, Ratchet & Clank, etc.) and the story would revolve around YOUR affect on the world, which your failure could only spell doom for.
That's a hilarious regret that I too feel when I play these games - the "aw man, I missed a chunk of the game!" regret because you chose a different story branch.
I'm starting to think Christian movies are actually produced by Satanists trying to pull a stealth-counter-culture maneuver to make fun of Christianity.
Kendrick Lamar at Pitchfork this summer was one of the best shows I've ever seen, yet also one of the most aggravating. Shows you how good it was with how intermittently mad I'd get and the fact that I would still would go back.
I'll say one thing for Sorority Row - I'd rather they remake bad movies and try to improve on the concept, then remake good movies and totally fall short of expectations.
It could, but other directors have complained he's a nuisance though.
Palahniuk's work tends to have so many "detours" that would be easily cut or shortened for a feature script. Survivor could make a great movie! Begins with a weird cult, climaxes with his twin brother trying to kill him.
A Strangers with Candy reference as a handle. Nice.
MIchael Pitt was wonderful, but he's supposed to be such a terror to work with (why he left Boardwalk Empire) I wouldn't be surprised if they bumped up his dog-face-thing so that they could replace him for future seasons with a different actor just in case.
Yeah, it seems a little base of Hannibal to make a race joke like that. If anything, he'd make a joke referencing some obscure historical siege where 400 soldiers were forced to eat each other or something like that.
Though, the werewolf suit did seem someone plausible, ultimately. I kind of liked how the craziness of the concept actually kind of made sense once they discover the pieces that make it up and break down how it worked.
I actually couldn't enjoy the show at all if I looked for traditional logic in it. So much of it is outright craziness, it feels like an Italian giallo, or at least an Argento movie with the supernatural stuff stripped out (Opera, maybe?) or relegated to "literal dreams."
I really like Lullaby, but I feel like it'd just end up kind of a cheap horror movie in the wrong hands.
He has about 40 pounds of range.
Rant is a fun book because it's kind of a mess, which usually just seems like its Chuck getting carried away with himself.
The story about killing the insurance fraud investigator is pretty great, though.
I think the book does a better job explaining HOW people surrounded Tyler Durden as a cult figure, whereas in the movie it just kind of seems like he throws out a few adages and gets followers like mad all of a sudden.
