Not a bad theory, especially in the day and age of a secret album drop.

At least Last Guardian seems to be in a "how are we going to salvage this and keep it going?" stage rather than a "oh god, there's no way in hell this is coming out" stage.

I probably bought a half dozen of the prequel-tied games, and this was the worst one.

It resembled another canceled game in Prey II. The idea of a being a bounty hunter badass in multi-ethnic future city is just too great an offer to refuse.

I finally got to play it in that awesome C&C collection that came out a few years back. I devoted an insane amount of time to that boxset, catching up on games I had completely skipped in the series.

I've snuck behind too many kevlar clad security guards in my day, I'd have loved to play cat-and-mouse with some Protoss Zealots.

Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering specifically why you'd even bother with a phoneline, but that kind of makes sense in this context.

Legit question: how do you record voice stuff over the phone and make it sound in any way usable? I remember Matt Stone & Trey Parker talking about directing Isaac Hayes over the phone and it confused me then too.

In the Final Flight of the Osiris short, couldn't they have reconstituted old sets from the matrix and used nobody actors (as they ended up doing) to bring it to life? I just don't buy it as even a cost saving measure, just a tech demo culture gone mad.

In season one, these two goofs get into ALL sorts of hijinx!

I never understood the "realistic CGI" fad that Animatrix (Final Flight of the Osiris), Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, Beowulf, etc. all took on. It's like the directors didn't know how poorly the film would age, and nothing in those three couldn't have been shot conventionally.

I don't get that impression at all in the movies, which (especially as they go along) seem to really endorse what he's doing and think it's great that he's cleaning up the streets.

Pretty much every vigilante movie ever made, except a few modern ones that seem aware of how fucked up it is to just go out and enact justice on your own. Taxi Driver is critical of Bickle, so I wouldn't count that.

I'm more of an Emporium guy, because having to pay (the costs are really small) guarantees that machines get faster turn-over. At Headquarters I've been trying to get on a certain pinball machine all night and gotten nowhere because some ghoul was balls-deep in it.

Spoilers, they fuck

Or, "because they're brown and we're white so draw the fucking line, okay?"

If we didn't have a Senate, that would probably work.

Most of us were already boycotting Indiana, we just didn't have rightful indignation on our side before.

I'm not saying the movie isn't also about that type of moralizing. It still doesn't justify the insanely heavy handed reefer madness level sequence where the kids play mortal Kombat and get almost aroused at the violence.

Clark's moralizing in that reached a peak with blaming the violence on Mortal Kombat. Hilarious.
