I just saw Paranormal Activity, and damn, that was some freaky shit. If there’s one thing that worries me, it’s total hopelessness.

SPOILERS
The demon picks the girl totally at random, and proceeds to terrify her in the most potent ways possible before killing both her and her boyfriend, and there’s not a damn thing that they can do about it. I think if I were in that situation I’d spend every moment in public places, sleeping only at night on a bus, but that probably still wouldn’t do anything against a demon that potent. I can tell you, I’m not gonna be able to sleep tonight without worrying that I’m going to be dragged away.

Brutal Legend isn’t an RTS. It’s an Action RTS. Different genre.

There is a reason why Star Wars – Republic Commando was such a good game.

It didnt go over all the same crap as as the films and what you saw was cynical, dark and funny.

I’ve only seen a few minutes of the show, I sat through The Clone Wars film, it didn’t make me that upset, but I just don’t think the show is worth much time, yeah, more Clone Wars, more betrayal and stuff and on and on.

KOTOR was one of my fav games.

I really thought the Clone Wars “microseries” (I’m fairly sure that’s what they called it) that was made by the same guy who did Samurai Jack was good and I liked it a lot despite not being a Star Wars fan at all. It followed a continuity that linked up to the movies. It had Anakin having just enough of a crazy edge to him that one might actually believe he’d one day snap and turn into Vader. The story made sense and the animation was good.
This Clone Wars series doesn’t have any of that, which is too bad. The Star Wars universe and concept has a lot of potential, but the way it’s written is awful. If you ever watch an episode of the Clone Wars cartoon on now you’ll see that nearly every episode doesn’t have a smooth ending. It just feels like they got tired of writing or animating and they cut it and rolled the credits. It’s always sudden and abrupt. It’s like the Lucas trademark. It pisses me off.

Once again, someone trashes the Star Wars prequels even though they give no real reason and the last time the reason was Jar Jar Binks even though he’s not in much of the second two, and he puts all the three films together into an instant judgment without giving them a look as individual films, even though he said he found Episode 3 entertaining and the best one.

And he’s made fun of them in the Star Trek review, FF8 review, Transformers 2 review, even though they are old now and have already been shredded to pieces years ago in such a way that even the original “holy” trilogy without thinking of them as individual films wouldn’t stand up.

One other reviewer I saw has said bad things about them in pretty much every video, even though they are old, and he’s already shredded them to piece.

Starting to drive me insane, are people going to stop attacking the Star Wars prequels when yet another 1500 days have passed since they’ve finished? I think we get it, you didn’t like them.

if you can`t find guys to play with you Battlestar Galactica, here`s a suggestion:
get AVGN and Motherfucker Mike – they do reviews of board games to,
add to this your brother, Linkara and Nostalgia Critic – and you will have the dream team…
surely there will be an opportunity in the future to do this

Spoons!!

I think you missed out on the the funnest part of Brutal Legend (IMO, of course)…the side quests and the collecting/finding!! I had a lot of fun just cruising around the different themed lands looking for solos and the other items, running over random enemies and troops of badies while listening to the kick ass soundtrack. I liked the story but the RTS portion of the game really turned me off (the final battle in particular).

Regarding Paranormal Activity ending:

(SPOILERS!)

I just watched this movie last night and loved it. But while I agree with almost everything you’ve said about it, Spoony, I still don’t think the ending was very well done compared to the rest of the movie, and it really did seem to cheapen the experience a bit. The explanation that the “money shot” was a wink to the boyfriend is okay, but that’s already been achieved in a much more effective and realistic sense when she throws his body into the camera; that *alone* perfectly illustrates the demon’s contempt for his experiment.

The girl lunging at the camera afterward really jerked me out of the reality which the movie had tried so hard (successfully) to set up, and really didn’t satisfy the sense of despair that builds throughout the rest of the film. I would have liked to see something much more subtle, maybe just her shadowy figure in the background after she threw the body, a few feet back from the door, maybe on the stairs, and then the door slams suddenly, then the fade out. As they did it, that soft rumbling blackness that the screen stays on after the movie should have been a perfect cap to the sense of despair that fills the last quarter or so of the movie, but the money shot kind of ruined the effect.

Aside from that, though, the movie was great. Thanks for recommending it, Spoony.
