From the look of the trailer I saw before IAL tonight, they are keeping the movie realistic and gritty instead of all Tim Burtoned up... and whatever LSD insanity the last 2 directors were smoking.

I have a quibble or two, but overall a serviceable movie.

Homeworld 2 is a lot less dated. And I played a bit of the skirmishes against the Homeworld2 AI................................. They were always easy to beat if you just put guards on their resources. Their harvesters would just blunder right in to get blown up. I imagine you people wouldn't be mu...

After a heist he joins goes bad, he recovers from his wounds at a Buddhist Temple. There he is taught Mantis style martial arts. But the abbots at the monastery ha...

v1.2 has a lot of additions that'd I'd be bummed to nt have. I've heard that in the next patch the Icari get nerfed, and I agree with that. They are about impossible to hit and all they do is hover over you dropping their infinite supply of grenades. Tonight I was encountering a shitload of people ...

I snagged this one on sale for a buck. It looked like a Chinese kung fu b-movie... which I figured still had to be pretty good. Oh my god, it is horrible. I think it is a Hollywood wannabe kung fu b-movie. The 2 wise chinese dudes training the young, misguided american are Victor Wong from Big Trou...

This is a pair of Zahn Star Wars books that deal with Thrawn's legacy. Both books are part of the same story... I have a feeling the editor split them in half to make mo green. They drag at times, but things finally pick up at the end. And a couple of the story threads feel extraneous, and just a w...

So, what's this thing about being able to code up things for other players or some such shyte? I believe you can "invent" things with some scripting language. I don't really know anything beyond that. Are you shitting me? That's ballsy as hell, provided the scripting language isn't ass. W...

Well, all games do have "ratigns" on them, and they are even a little conservative, in my opinion. I think generally you can trust ratings.

Runescape... is it an online game? Keep in mind there's usually nothing stopping real people from swearing, and stuff.

The big two that I'm aware of that you don't let kids withing 50 feet of... the Grand Theft Auto games, and Second Life. Everything else is *probably* safe, for a stable kid. The two I mentioned are pretty much porn of one type or another.

He looks rather chagrined, like he got popped in the pooper again.
