I confess I've played little more since making the thread. Got to some candle-lighting section with doors that lower slightly but not fully, couldn't find a quick solution and turned off the Cube. I'll give it another go, just for you Jay.

Yeah it was tenderly made, but I found that semi-recent External World video more moving. I loved the colour palette.

It's his opinion that those people are deluded, don't knock it.

I didn't really shine to Jesse in the first season but his relationship with Walt develops nicely. There's way too much Walt Jr and general family bullshit in the first two seasons but the adrenaline really ramps up from season 3 onwards.

I'm unsure why Jesse wants so much money. I also really enjoyed that scene. Walt's sarcastic 'oh, it's what you do' made me laugh heartily.

I noticed that day/night inconsistency but obviously it doesn't matter for shit.

Heath Ledger was incredible. The opinions of others had no bearing on what I saw, all I know is that what I saw was stunning. I loved Bane in different ways. They both had great lines, but there's no denying that, as a character, the Joker was afforded more depth. Hardy couldn't have done more, but Ledger could've done a hell of a lot less and still be considered good.

I want to watch it again just for Bane.

What's the most awe inspiring creation people have stumbled across on YouTube?

Yeah I'd agree with that. I find it hard to pin down all of the issues I have with it, and then someone will say something and I'll nod my head and chew on it. That's a fault with its scope, having so many ideas was detrimental in the end because they weren't cohesive. They were slightly undercooked, and the flaws become more noticeable with time.

The problem with Rises has just dawned on me. The Dark Knight had verve. There was a resounding, well constructed message. Rises had multiple messages strewn all over the place, but not a single one took me by the scruff of the neck. Perhaps the interplay between Bane and Batman was too weak to produce it. The two characters were individually brilliant, but there was no dynamic. The finale wanted to be too many things - focus was sacrificed.

I'm going to a friend's tomorrow at 10am to see the first two again on bluray before the 4.30pm showing. Underwear will be wetted.

There exists no thread dedicated to the general discussion of the game, and I didn't want to bump anyway, hence this. I'm borrowing it from a friend having recently hauled my GC from the loft. I've played for little under an hour, stopping shortly after the first Roman's (?) romp - collecting cubes, killing hordes of zombies and such. I was initially impressed by the seemingly accomplished writing in the game before considering the possibility that it was just eccentric verbiage garnished with cliche. One of the examinable items featured the description 'eclectic junk' (or something to that effect), a remark that could've been targeted at the script and its inspiration. These are early impressions though, so I ask you guys: is the story exciting? Also, the combat and movement is some of the clunkiest I've seen, and I'm not convinced I can put up with it. Is there any real depth to it? There are controls relating to reloading and spell casting but I haven't taken possession of any guns or wands or anything of that nature yet, so currently I've been getting by with the most ridiculous tactic, which goes something like this: run away from zombies to gain distance, turn around, remove head of nearest zombie, run away again and repeat until room is full with invalid zombies. I want to be impressed, I do. I like the environments, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail, but I'm not sold by the gameplay. If the combat and puzzles improve, hoorah!

After completing my first run, I bothered to shuffle through MGS4 at such a painfully modest pace that I managed to arouse no suspicion in the entire campaign (save for those unavoidable exceptions), and my speed was self-hampered further in pursuit of the 'no killing' objective. One might suggest I know the game quite well, that I've mastered it even. Wrong. I don't understand what Metal Gear Solid 4 is.

Spam marketing baffles me, but who cares 'cause u got sum sik deals br0, chek it!

Opening episode of season 5 was typical Breaking Bad. Excellent.

Yeah, the environment and mood of Leon's campaign (/Resident Evil as a franchise) should be far more gripping than that.

I hadn't heard about this until today, what do you guys think? Public funding sits at $4 million right now which is pretty impressive. It will of course be limited in many fields and it certainly won't be an alternative to the 'big 3' consoles, at least not for the forum users here, but it does have the potential to go somewhere.

You really can't make a competitive sci-fi film on $5-10 million, it's going to bomb.

Speculation is for pussies, I've seen the real thing

Only saw it for the first time just a second ago. Unbelievable. It's too good. Has way too many dimensions and way too much beauty for a single animated film (/any film). Feels.
