General Gaming Resident Evil 3 Remake OT - The Great Escape
SaysWho? replied to Pikachu's topic in The Spawn Point
tbh, I feel like Capcom became great again (not a political reference lol) this gen after seemingly falling off during the HD transition. What I'm really impressed with is, I never could get into RE. I couldn't handle the tank controls, and then during the PS3/360 generation, the change in direction hurt its reputation among many fans. But this resurgence, starting with RE7, has gotten me into Resident Evil for the first time in my life. I'm now one of those who can't wait for their next Resident Evil announcement because they've done such a splendid job. Kudos to Capcom! -
When you're sitting there and people start running at you, it's freaky, man. Cool game, though!

No, dude, I'm saying there's not much to talk about if you didn't like some characters and someone else did. But the rest is mostly fan complaints. This is a movie critique: "Attack of the Clones suffers from bad dialogue because we never get to see relationships develop. We're told about things that happened to Anakin and Obi-Wan, but for the most part, the dialogue serves to tell you things that happened, things that are happening, and things that will happen, and the dialogue turns into exposition instead of a way to get to know the characters." This is a fan service complaint: "I waited 30 years to see Luke kick ass as a Jedi Master and I didn't get to see it and he died in the movie so I can't see it happen now." A character dying isn't a critique of the movie because someone had these scenes play out in their head and then didn't have it happen. And the consistent theme to TLJ criticisms is they aren't ever about the quality of the film but about what someone wished would happen, pickiness about the science of outer space, and wondering why good guys in a movie don't kamikaze on a regular basis to make things easier. The last one always gets me because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the theme of sacrifice and how a film builds its story from those themes. Poe recklessly went to destroy a dreadnought, which led to many "heroes" dying instead of fighting for another day. He's scolded for this; there was no reason to rush in there to be the hero at that moment. Holdo's plan wasn't trying to be a hero; it was to get the Resistance to safety so they could regroup and live to fight another day. Her plan was already to stay behind. She sacrificed herself last minute not to be a hero, but to save the fleeing Resistance from being destroyed. These themes are revisited when Rose saves Finn and when Luke distracts Kylo and the First Order so everyone could escape. Hell, it's what Luke did in ROTJ. The badass thing to do wasn't killing Vader; it was throwing down his light saber in defiance of the Emperor.

Yeah, it all falls under the same umbrella, with most of it about how Luke didn't act like Obi-Wan. Didn't like Poe, didn't like Rose, but there's not much to really say about that. I liked them a lot. *shrug* And the light speed jump has been talked about so often that I think people want to find something to hate: it was a last-minute thing she did to sacrifice herself, and sacrifice is a staple of epics. Nobody has ever done kamikaze right off the bat for the Republic, Rebellion, or Resistance in any of the movies I can think of.

Under the settlement, the University of Phoenix and Apollo will cancel all remaining debt for students who first enrolled between Oct. 1, 2012, and the end of 2016. Letters will be sent to borrowers saying they no longer owe payments to the school. The school is also barred from making false claims about its relationships with companies or employers. What the university did:

It's a pity they eventually picked Giuliani. -
Sony Sony's MLB The Show will be coming to other platforms soon

I wonder what's enough for them. MLB The Show is a big seller every year. -
I would definitely have more confidence in Buttigieg in a national campaign over Biden, but for me, it's more not having faith in how Biden is handling any adversity in his campaign and Buttigieg not having decades of votes to pick through. It still annoys me that Democrats were so disorganized and triangulating in the early 2000s that Trump ran to the left of Hillary on Iraq and would do the same with Biden. >_>
