ME2 also didn't remove a huge chunk of the game if you bought it used.
Goddamn it.
I spent all day reading The Name of the Wind, and it ran out of pages >:-|
Isn't there a sequel or something?
Blah blah blah body movements blah blah blah accelerometer (sp?) blah blah blah 99c
Question. Does the thing where one simply quotes a text one agrees with come off as annoying?
I just plop it on the edge of my bed face-down and go sleep.
It's better than the regular alarm because I can actually pick a song from my iTunes library as the ringtone.
Meaning I can wake up to the full Guile Theme.
Or Ain't That a Kick in the Head.
It only annoys me in serious discussions, to be honest.
So there was just announced an American Modern re-interpretation of Sherlock Holmes called Elementary casting Lucy Liu as Watson.
And the bullshit is the usual gamut of racial nonsense to conflating casting of an Asian woman as a mark of social justice and progress to accusing anyone with reservations about the show as being a huge heteronormative racist.
Of course, of the news we've been given, there's no reason to think this won't be a shitty CSI knockoff with brand recognition since that movie and Limey show did so well. Oh wait, there's an Asian woman in there, so I guess that's good.
The amount of attention Teevee gets over actual social issues from social justice bloggers is more than a little telling.
Fuck, I miss when Sherlock Holmes' crazies were just people who thought he was a real dude.
Just yesterday, you were accusing The Artist of being a jerkoff to a racist age. Rather inappropriate time to be smug, I'd say.
I once wanted to use Chloe's theme as my ringtone.
It starts wayyy too slowly though. The pitched parts come in just in time for the phone to stop ringing.

>should get Best Picture.
...you know what? No. Because otherwise this entire thread is just going to be me posting reaction macros."
"^^^It's a vapid, soulless jerkoff to how awesome things were back when movies were dominated completely by white men."
Yes, the premise sounds absurd, but don't pretend that you aren't guilty of the same thing.
So... first of all, I wasn't accusing the show of being actively racist. I was accusing it of being overly nostalgia-laden.
Second, I don't see how accusing a movie of being racist means I'm not allowed to be frustrated by needless race-based drama.
Also, I think Avatar was racist and the race-wankery over Thor was stupid. Check out the hypocrisy on me.
"Second, I don't see how accusing a movie of being racist means I'm not allowed to be frustrated by needless race-based drama."
You are. It's just worthwhile to examine your own biases before lashing out on others.
To be honest, I wasn't sure about choosing a black dude for the role of a Norse god. I was sure it was going to come across the same way those older historical movies do when white people play the roles of non-European peoples.
And then I saw the movie and the role came across as perfectly natural.
^It's a movie where the Norse gods are actually powere by super science.
^^Which movie?
^Thor.
^^^^ I know, but I was honestly hoping they'd just cut any sort of sciencey thing and leave it at "whatever, guys".
^They did kinda have Thor go "meh, magic, science, whatever."
Found another nice band. The vocals kinda remind me of Claudio Sanchez, except slapped onto a competent metalcore band, instead of a hypercompetent prog metal band.
While you make a point in context of Thor, Malk, as a more general thing I'd say the reappropriation of myths has gone too far in a lot of modern media. We're just about at the point where playing them straight would be a breath of fresh air.
Besides it's not. LikeKirby's take is particularly common.
you and me seem to have watched very different movies
