De Blob grew on me. I rented it, but I'm considering buying it. And I'm glad that it ended up selling some pretty modest numbers... And yes, I have to get DK Jungle Beat, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy since I haven't played them in over a few years. Where is Star Fox (the Super NES original)? And why isn't it on WiiWare? I know that Miyamoto considers Star Fox 64 to be the true beginning, but come on, I NEED that game! I hope that Nintendo will announce some cool stuff at this years E3, I don't need a new Zelda and Mario as the "hardcore" audience keeps crying about as they play their other consoles with enough games to keep them happy, those games DON'T NEED TO BE RUSHED, they need to be handled with the care Nintendo of Japan is known for with it's games...

Oh I don't know, I figured that it didn't kill Marcus because more than likely, it knew he was a terminator, until Marcus attacked it, then it probably figured it was a defected one, and figured it should kill him to stop messing with his mission. I'm not one for logic with films anymore, I mean, I just watched The Spirit, and enjoyed it thoroughly . I know there are ones that always have to find some sort of logic in movies, granted, I like it with SOME forms of movies, like crime/mystery movies, especially if there set in modern day, or even in 50's eras, you get the idea. I liked the film, wasn't bad, wasn't the worst film I'd ever seen either (Santa Claus vs. The Martians is right up there, but is only saved by Mystery Science Theater riffing it). Was there plot holes, or things that didn't really add up? Of course, but hey, I think they did alright with what they went with at least. And what's with everyone complaining about Christian Bale/The Dark Knight? Sure, he was similar to his Bruce Wayne act, but well, there's some difference in those two characters, personality wise, but not much, at least to me that is. But now all of a sudden The Dark Knight haters are coming out of the woodwork, "ohh, now it's 'cool' to hate that movie now, I better agree with the bloggers!" (Of course, if you didn't like Dark Knight for VALID reasons, that's fair enough with me)

That terminator in particular was probably fresh out of the box, so to speak... As for floating, dude, c'mon, this is a movie about an apocalyptic future with robots, and flying robots at that, so I don't think we can apply too much logic into this... Anyways, as to the plot, here's what I think... POTENTIAL SPOILERS..... Skynet was searching for Kyle Reese and Connor, and had at least several options before it... 1. Make half human, half terminators, in that test, they could see how far they could make a terminator human, which in part, having human minds. And use that to lure Connor and or Reese into a trap. After all, Skynet knows the future has been altered, and is finding different ways to wipe out humans. 2. Keep Kyle Reese alive for the time, as a means to lure John Connor out, Connor try to rescue him, and then kill them both. 3. Do the same thing they did with Marcus, replicate tissue, put Reeses' mind into a terminator frame, and kill John Connor upon first meeting. They could also send the Reese terminator back into the past, and kill Sarah Connor as well, just to make sure that humans have no hope. Those are at least my thoughts... And did anybody notice how they played the some of the same song that young John Connor listened to when he was in a foster home? The Guns N Roses song I mean?

Haven't read much from the critics, though I've heard it's had a kind of "meh" feeling. It wasn't a bad film at all, good action, great acting from each person involved. I think that the storyline is probably not the strongest thing in the film, although I have heard that they're making this into a trilogy, so, I'd say that maybe the storyline will get a bit more depth as it goes along.

Very interesting article, I'm actually interested in seeing what could come out of Microsoft this year. Two things that really raised my interest in this article... 1. Hideo Kojima's new game 2. Oddworld Inhabitants releasing info on a new game. Oddworld Stranger's Wrath stood out vividly for me on the XBOX still one of my favorite games, and I hope that even though Lanning professed he was done with the gaming world, it may be time for him to come back.

My profession is tile laying, but we've had almost 44+ hours these past few weeks, so I'm probably going to rest now since we're about caught up with all our work. That, and I'm going to see Terminator Salvation with my parents.

Now I'll get to see why everyone loves that game so much.

I never liked Billy Joel, just never liked his songs. As far as jerks go, I get the feeling that Paul McCartney ranks up there, yeah, I know he's part of The Beatles, but I never really listened to that band, nor have ever really wanted to. Maybe I'll try to listen to them sometime... Can I say the same thing of John Denver (being a jerk)?

Get on UP! Ow! Ugh! Hit me!

That's not referring to me right? Can't get the soul out once it' in me! Owwwwww! UGH! I FEEL GOOD!

Speaking of music kicks, I've been getting into alot of Ska, Reggae, 70's funk, and 70's jazz lately. Especially James Brown.

You're both wrong, Star Trek 2: The Orion Seduction (aka the green chick multiplied by like a billion )

This song finally played on my Mp3 player (I set it to random, and there's like 8 gigs of music on it so yeah, took a while) today, and I was thoroughly impressed. Blind is consistently refining his sound, and it just gets better. Blind, keep up the good work, it's good to see quality dance tracks, especially crafted so well.

Yes, I said that several pages ago... And I had no idea that that was the chick from Dumb an Dumberer, the blonde haired girl Jessica, and yes, I enjoyed that movie as well as the first one. Not as good, but still gets a good laugh for me.... Lotd2242, dude, we get it. This new Star Trek film was not what you wanted, and the general opinion of most of the people here that saw it thought it was awesome. Instead of this thread being a discussion between all of us on the film, it's come down to your personal feelings of the movie. I'm not trying to jump on your case, but c'mon, how many dead horses are we gonna beat here? Sure, it is a generic Sci-Fi film, but hey, I knew this wasn't going to be like other Star Trek films, and to be quite honest, I embraced it. I'm sure you didn't go into that movie expecting it to be that way either. I understand that Star Trek is a series/franchise you hold dear, but don't make like it's been taken away from you like I've seen so many talk about Star Wars (and I WILL NOT GET INTO THAT, BLECH!). Has it ruined Star Trek? Not for me in the slightest. Who knows? It may get people interested in it again. The only series that I recalled ever being in the limelight, was Next Generation. Sure there were plenty of others afterwards, but I haven't watched a single one of them. That might be me being short sighted, but like I said back at the first of this thread, I just never got into Star Trek. It's only been these past few years I watched it now and again. And I'm sure those other series were probably just as good if not better than TNG. Let's just put this to rest, Lotd2242, you didn't come out of the film satisfied, fine, that's not a big deal at all, you said why, that's fine. As far as anything else, if people are just calling you dumb or whatever, just ignore it, it's your opinion, everyone else has one too, so so what? This thread is like watching reruns page after page.

I honestly don't care what comes out of this years E3 but one game, and it's already been confirmed that it won't be seen there (so far), Beyond Good and Evil 2. Maybe we'll see what Nintendo has in store this year, maybe some good solid stuff, and finally bring some of the Virtual Console games that are ALREADY out in Europe, and Japan over here, because I'm getting pissed off at Nintendo of America not bringing some VC games out here already (Super NES Star Fox, Majora's Mask, etc.). And if there's going to be exclusive DSi games, they better be worth it, and that goes for downloadable games for it.

No, well, dang it, I fouled that up pretty good.... Sorry. I guess I was, but I figured you'd have just as much valid reasons for hating it IF you did, which you didn't. I've made my peace now.

To be honest, I was just as skeptical as others. But after having seen Mission Impossible 3 and Cloverfield (I know Abrams didn't direct the latter), I was very confident in the film. And to top it off, the cast selection, nay, Simon Pegg as Scotty, you couldn't get much better than the original James Doohan, or maybe Mooshi (Futurama Star Trek episode, probably the best one of all the episodes in my book ).

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." That's all that needs to be said.

Hey, I'm sure you're not the only one who didn't like the movie, I'm sure there are plenty of people that didn't. I didn't see what Sineway said, but I kind of took you saying the new Star Trek was a Michael Bay version as an insult, since so many Transformer fanboys criticize him and the film(s), which those said people just need to get over it. You didn't like the movie, that's okay, that's fine. If people want to insult you for it, ignore it. I never saw Watchmen, didn't want to, of course, I opened up a can of worms when I posted that in the Watchmen topic, but that's my mistake, and I took it. I ended up reading the Watchmen comic after that debacle, and I felt like I got hit in the gut at the end, it was the most depressing thing I read. It was well made, but it's not something I'll ever read again. But hey, when you state your opinion, you got to defend it, and I think you did that just fine, but you know what people say about arguing on the internet...

Lotd2242, look, you didn't like the movie, fine. No big deal, maybe you should just quit talking about it. I'm not trying to be a smart alike, but c'mon, how many pages are we gonna keep going with this? I've had several die hard Star Trek fans enjoy this film, including the friend that I talked about earlier. Even he understands that this franchise needed to be rebooted BADLY. Sure, they didn't stick to original cannon with the alternate timeline, that's fine by me, in fact, that was probably to appease the fans, not to just keep the audience from being confused. I know what you'll say, Star Trek IS for the masses. I don't really think it has been for a long time. It's kind of like the whole mess of people griping about lack of "hardcore" titles on game systems, which is the biggest bunch of bull, mostly because so called core gamers don't realize that games have been for EVERYBODY since the industry began. But I'm shifting waaaay off topic here, so I'll stop. You called it a Michael Bay of Star Trek films. Honestly, I don't take that as an insult. Sure, Michael Bay does big explosions, not much on story, yeah, I know, but I still enjoy his movies. Don't get me started on Transformers, all the so called fans forget that that was a toy line BEFORE it was a series (and I'm pretty certain about that). That series was essentially a 30 minute ad for toys. And I could honestly care less about how accurate each character is to his make and model of vehicle from said show, which brings me to my next point, it's JUST A MOVIE. If there's one thing I'm getting sick of, is how people dictate every little thing in a movie, "Why didn't he just shoot it?" "She shoulda jumped!" Yeah smart guy, and how much tension would you kill from a scene or ruin a scene by using logic? Sure, maybe some movies would benefit more from it, but I don't watch movies to say what COULD'VE happened, I don't criticize how unrealistic a movie is (if the special effects are bad enough, then maybe), I watch a movie to be entertained now, and to think LATER.

Hmm, this all seems a bit odd, I know nothing of legal ramifications in this regard but this... They modified roms, which are already illegal (I could be mistaken on that). They used copyrighted assets to make the game, ILLEGAL. I've played Prophet's Guile, all it was, was Magus' venture through Zeal, didn't add that much to the story line, and was a royal pain to go through certain fights. Oh well, didn't hear about it till this so called cease and desist order... Let's just hope developers don't start thinking OC should start making us pay for these remixes, there'll be hell to pay then.

I was waiting for someone to say that. And Lotd2242, I appreciate that you've got your opinion on the movie, but man, why poke and prod it to death? I understand there's valid reasons for why you didn't like it but jeez man, tell me there's at least something you liked about it, besides it ending . SPOILER It may sound silly, but I loved it when Kirk stole that car, and they started playing Beastie Boys "Sabotage", for some reason I though that was just awesome, besides that scene. END SPOILER I'm still geeking out over how much I enjoyed that movie. I haven't felt that way from a movie in such a LOOOONG time. I'm with Nekofrog on the Spock Uhura relationship not being that big a deal, I thought it was a good shake up. I mean, Vulcans seem to get all the chicks. And yeah, I wish Nero could have had more build up, maybe they'll do a director's cut (there WAS deleted scenes for the movie, just look at some of the previews, you can see them).

SPOILER Agreed, they don't need to go through it. Now with it being an alternate time line, they can do whatever they want with it. END SPOILER Can't wait for a sequel. And in regards to people disliking the movie, hey, if you don't like it fine, not a big deal. Though I do think it's a bit harsh to describe it as a Michael Bay Star Trek. You have to remember though, they wanted to cater to a larger crowd, so the action had to be big and loud. And in the end, for me at least, it was incredible, it's been one the best movies I've seen this year besides Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and State Of Play (Wolverine was awful in my opinion).

Dude, I'm sorry, I don't even know what irc is. No I don't think I'm better, I'm WAAAAY better! I kid, I kid.

Where were you? Japan (You said something about living there for a while, or maybe that's my deranged mind)? And why are you moving back? I take it's a long story...
