I approve this post. Also I may subscribe to this service after the past few days announcements of content.

I would not be surprised if these turn out to be the exact same hardware that is in the NES classic and SNES classic (those two have the same innards). It is just a different cover and emulator running. Easy way for these companies to make money.

Yeah... One of the things I read is that LG is working on big screen TV's that can be sold rolled up in a box. That is pretty cool.

Yep. If you grab them now you own them.

Wait are people walking around saying IronMan 3 is good now? I had to have missed a memo...

So if they just threw another movie out there and didn't tell anyone it was a 'reboot' ... would anyone really notice? I mean is there a Shrek fan base out there that is keeping track of continuity?

I would kind of doubt it. They were pretty clear that they wanted to create their own worlds and do their own thing. I would be surprised if MS put them on an existing property. But who knows. They could probably do it well if they wanted to.

I just 'purchased' both games for free. But I only told it to install PES. Not sure i'm interested in PUBG... but if I ever am at least I own it now.

Everyone can have their own list - but for me Breaking Bad is my #1 favorite show of all time. I think this is a bad idea. The show ended perfectly. Sometimes it is best to just let things be.

I'm interested enough to keep an eye on it. Interested to see if Crackdown can still be anything at all. Battletoads could be a great first party asset if they treat it right. Ori will be great. I have faith that Ninja Theory will do something good.

I'm not near hard core enough for this game. I played if for about 30 min on X1X. When I first saw that skill tree... I just gave up. For those that love digging into that stuff this game is probably fantastic.

Well okay. You can set the rules. I think the premise of the thread is interesting - but I think the ability of someone to compare two things after only having knowledge of one is somewhat limited.

I would agree that Tolkien was not intentionally writing in an archaic fashion. Everything else you wrote is your opinion - that you are welcome to. However those writings have had praise heaped on them for a long time by many people... long before there were movies. I would feel safe saying that people will be reading and loving his books long after the movies have gone out of style.

True Detective definitely has a style. There could have been no titles on that, and watching about 15 seconds of it was easily recognizable as True Detective. With no returning actors that is quite a feat.

I'm not trying to call anyone out here - but there should be a ground rule in this thread that you can't say a movie is better unless you have actually read the book. I have to disagree with No country for old men as well. Again - the movie is great but the book is awesome. They are each their own thing and I'm glad they both exist. If you have only seen the movie I would highly suggest reading the book. I agree with @SFLUFAN that the Godfather is the number 1 example of movies being better. I read Puzo novel as a teen and it was not great. I tried reading his last book Omerta and I couldn't even finish it.

I would disagree hard on LoTR. I think the movies are great - but the books are on a different level. They are long books... it is an epic. But you can't hold their length against them. My addition to the list would be Princess Bride.

Wow.

I hear they are going to digitally insert a mustache on him later.

Yeah. Not so much recently. Go back and watch some old speedy gonzalez cartoons. His family were all stereotype lazy mexican. Sooo... because of that you might have trouble finding those episodes unless you buy them on DVD. I have the first season of Sesame Street on DVD that I purchased about 7 years ago when my kids were young enough for that stuff. Those DVD's have a warning on them that they may not be suitable for children... seriously. That is the PC age we are living in.

Yeah, a little quick math shows they are rating on average almost 600 movies per year. There are no where near that many 'good' movies. They need some way to cross section this data to par it down to movies that matter.

Someone will make this whole cloud gaming thing work. But I have no trust in EA and would not sign up for it from them.

Ugh. I have been looking forward to this game for a long time but have not purchased it yet. Little reviews like this give me pause. I really only have small amounts of time to play games. Sometimes I can string together an hour and a half late at night after my kids go to bed to play. I don't think a game that is this slow and plodding will be enjoyable sliced up into that small of increments. If I can only play for an hour in a day - and during my hour of play time essentially nothing happens, that does not sound fun.

Here is a fun game. Name one (recurring non real person) character from the show that isn't a stereotype.

Pretty good list. I don't think Goldeneye will make it. There have been lots of problems licensing that game. For that fact MS will need to be involved for several of those Rare games to make it in. MS has been trying to act like a good guy lately so maybe they strike up a licensing deal. You have to include Wave Race. That was an awesome release game back in the day.

So there is an Indian family that owns a small convenience store in my city... should I be picketing them for being a stereotype?
