  1. What? If it was out of 38 it wouldn't be 38.2%
  2. You guys do funny math. 13/34 = 0.382, easy to see from that.
  3. Nowhere does it say that the Rock is playing Green Lantern in this movie. Chill.
  4. Awesome, I was waiting for Tearaway to go on sale Edit: when does this sale start, @Hero\-of\-Time? I see a few specific dates (such as for Tearaway) but none of those unspecified are on sale yet either.
  5. 2 is a vast improvement, the first hasn't aged that well and is quite clunky. The second is streamlined in more ways than one. It's hard as nails though.
  6. Trolling, right? Right?
  7. PC Zone I think used to have its own track for the background of some games that either didn't have audio tracks yet or didn't have the license for them. It was an awesome little track. I remember playing the Tomb Raider II demo over and over and over again with this midi electronica backing. There was also the original GTA, in which you started with a 300 second timer and just tried to do as much as you could before it was someone else's go. More recently, during Uni years, I definitely had more fun with the Beautiful Katamari and Skate 2 demos than I did with the actual games. Both of them just became this turn taking competition with @jayseven and @Nami, the former being a 5 minute go on one of the early levels which lead us to figure out the best possible way to essentially get the max possible points. The latter happened to come with the bails competition which was just hilarious.
  8. The current cartoon is not poorly designed. Have you people ever heard the phrase "don't knock it til you've tried it"?? The animation is fucking smooth as anything. These days a lot of kids cartoons are done in CG to save a lot of time and money with shit animation/piss poor collision/scenery interaction etc. Turtles is not that, there's massive attention to detail in every action and whilst the models may seem simple, they have masses of individual charm and the voices ooze (heh) personality. It's also funny as balls and is doing a great job of retelling the whole Krang/Shredder arcs. They took some chances like making April and high-schooler but have done it really well. It's easily the best Turtles series. Stuff your stupid 80s cartoon and episodes about martian tourists that capture landmarks in magic cameras. As for that latest promo art, I guess I was right about Mikey's lips from that Halloween mask, but I'll have to wait and see the team in motion before giving a final judgement.
  9. From what I've read he died of a heroine overdose and left behind three kids under 10.... I feel for his family but find it hard to mourn the guy under those circumstances.
  10. No, the theme was unchanged apart from the title.... PS every time you use an apostrophe for a plural a kitten dies
  11. I think I had that robot thing at the beginning. Did you put cards in it to play different games? And it would go "(ding!) Youuu're right!"
  12. It's cheaper than the original device's RRP. They can't really release it with an RRP lower than the current sale price 2 years after release, where would that price be in another 2 years? No retailers would bother.
  13. Do you mean instead of Hero?? C'mon, the UK got censored there because they thought our kids couldn't handle it, the last thing we should be is proud. The van looks cool, simplistic in a realistic way... like four big dudes could actually apply that paint job, raise it up and add those wheels. Guns and other things... less so :p
  14. Loved the episode. I am worried that this show is falling into some traps with its scene setups though. Too many one-on-one scenes Everybody goes round to see each other instead of calling Ending so many scenes on a dramatic one-liner (Smallville did this all the time) Too few extras - where are the Queen household's staff? Re-using the same locations all the time, everything happens at the club or in the mansion living room Hopefully this is just because all their budget is going into those awesome action sequences, but I do think it could weaken the show over time if they don't see what's happening. Also I'm feeling that Island Oliver is acting too much like his future self already. Finally, while I'm on criticism mode, I'm a bit worried they're accelerating too much into comic book world. The first season was much more grounded, more Batman Begins real-worldly. Now they took a chance with Barry and the Mirakuru and so far it's been handled well, but if they move too fast onto more things, like a certain "squad", it could go south.
  15. I think that bundle proves they don't have enough good indie games to even build a good bundle OlliOlli and Stealth Inc should be on there, and then they should wait for Rogue Legacy and a few others.... Coconut Dodge feels like a free phone game.
  16. Well she did rescind her powers at the end of X3, and was always a bit of a weak representation of Rogue (not the actress, the writing of it, just had none of comic Rogue's attitude). But I think she was just cut because she was only in one scene and it didn't fit the flow of the film. Perhaps they changed their mind after fan feedback.
  17. Just back up everything in Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common and put it back there on your new machine. Your saves will be in the cloud.
  18. I thought Rogue had been cut from the film? Yeah Quicksilver is probably the only one I don't like the look of :/ Not sure what's happened there.
  19. The games are up on Instant Game Collection.
  20. Ok, if they actually look as cool as those models suggest, I rescind my previous cynicism. Evidently the only people creating a horrendous looking product are the company making that halloween mask, who should be shot. Edit: the other pics from that page
  21. Assuming they don't mess this up somehow, I think this'll be the one I buy the next gen system or PC upgrade for.
  22. Jay has been known to occasionally, accidentally hit the "close this thread after posting" tick box.
  23. Point and Clicks? Then... The Walking Dead, Back to the Future, Sam and Max, The Wolf Among Us, Tales of Monkey Island. Basically everything by Telltale.
  24. Mass Effect Citadel DLC is on offer on Xbox Marketplace - £4.99 (2nd part is free) http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Mass-Effect-3-Citadel-1-of-2/e4b62aee-d2d1-4075-96b5-070ba9d06c04
  25. Below the mask is just printed on, don't take anything from that because you get no impression of how it will appear on the right model. But the mask looks fairly indicative of what to expect...
