- where is it $18? link? or is it local? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 11:51
- It's a bit too derivative of RE4, but I would absolutely pay $18 for it. No questions. -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:43 1
  - Having never even really played an RE game, I loved it after I dealt with the 'not move and shoot' thing. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 11:46
- Goddamn yes it's worth it for $18. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 11:43 2
  - Is there an "aim assist" feature? Cause I suck with FPS and that's why I don't usually play them. Too frustrating for me. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 11:46 1
    - It's a 3rd person shooter, but a lot of the weapons have laser sights. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 11:48
goddamn Flash Forward knows how to talk - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:37 7
- I appreciated the last 5 minutes. It was ridiculous, but it was action at least. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 11:39 6
  - I think it was probably too jarring a transition for most people, but I loved that ending oh so much. -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:40 5
    - Aside from showing the ending at the beginning than doing one of those "24 hours earlier" things. BTW: Dear TVShows; - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 11:44 3
      - agreed, and i'd like to add: rashomon-ing is overused, too. (looking at you "grey's anatomy") -- nm - b.oo! Oct 23, 11:47 2
        
        I broke up with Grey's. Made it through last season, then didn't pick it back up this season when i found out who died. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 11:48 1

  - And the weird drop shadows around some of them -- nm - Guigue Oct 23, 11:43
- I like this. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 23, 11:41
- this is gonna suck, hard. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 11:37 9
  - I disagree. I'm getting the "fun" vibe from this project that so many people got from "G.I. Joe" (but I failed to register). -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 23, 11:38 8
    - nobody got a "fun" vibe from GI Joe -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:39 7
      - Then how do you explain the movie's success? -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 23, 11:41 6
        
        "It's a fun popcorn movie!" nm -- nm - 95% of moviegoers Oct 23, 11:45 2
        
        ("Just turn your brain off at the door, movie snobs!") nm - 95% of moviegoers Oct 23, 11:47 1
        
        Yeah! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 23, 11:53
        
        Red State Ninjas -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:43
        
        was it? -- nm - Elf Andie Oct 23, 11:43 1
        
        $300M worldwide so far -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 11:44
- Looks shockingly close to the original - that could be intentional, though, and the film might not go that far. - Beryllium Oct 23, 11:37
- OMG they made Bradley Cooper look like Seth Green - Epiphany Oct 23, 11:35 1
  - ...standing on the shoulders of Seth Green. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 23, 11:38
- That looks nothing like Liam Neeson. Also... they're trying too hard to mimick the original. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 23, 11:35 1
  - that was my first reaction too -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:36
Last nights Survivor must have been the most unique in the shows run. nm - Jovian Oct 23, 11:32
With two out and nobody on, there is almost *NO* situation where an intentional walk is a good idea. - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:29 22
- it's more important that you not also walk the next batter and hit the following one to load the bases. -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 11:57
- I have no problem with it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 11:33 3
  - This strengthens my arguement. (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:34 2
    - when facing the guy who is hitting .500 with power is up - groiny Oct 23, 11:35 1
      - Good thing they were facing ARod, not a guy hitting .500 with power. - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:40
- that was just bizarre -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 11:33 1
  - [deleted]
- You choked last night. Accept it and move on. -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:31 13
  - Or you know, you could try and defend the move with something other than, "Well, *I* think it's a good move." (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:33 12
    - if someone's gonna beat me, it's not gonna be the hottest, best hitting guy in their lineup -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:34 6
      - I know that's the idea, but if you give it some critical thought, you see that walking him intentionally brings the *winning* run to the plate. - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:37 5
        
        if you let A-Rod tie it up that late (again) with a dinger, you're gonna lose anyway -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:38 4
        
        If he hits a dinger (which, even for a great hitter like ARod is not a high probability), you still face the next batter. (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:47 3
        
        so the winning run still comes to the plate -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:49 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        See the part where it's unlikely he hits a dinger? He's still more likely to make an out. (nm) - musubiveryafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:51
    - Read backboards, people! -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:33 4
      - I wouldn't want to repeat a weak argument either. (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:35 3
        
        Too late! (nm) -- (link) - David Oct 23, 11:35 [Backboard] 2
        
        You know all those silly people who hung the faulty "choker" label on ARod because of a small sample size? You're doing the same thing. (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:43 1
        
        You choked last night. Accept it and move on. - David Oct 23, 11:52
- Oops, 2-out, none on, *and a one-run lead in the top of the ninth*.... (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 23, 11:30

  - Oh, I know. - Dr.Vermin Oct 23, 11:29 3
    - Heh, your IM is a good argument for people getting vaccinated, they should make an ad with it - Guigue Oct 23, 11:36 1
      - A popular soft drink has been found to be lethal... we won't tell you which one until after sports and weather with Sunny Storm! - K.Brockman Oct 23, 11:57
    - LOL to the IM - Epiphany Oct 23, 11:32
  - my doctor yesterday said the media hyped it - and she has not seen any more cases of flu then normal - Epiphany Oct 23, 11:28 13
    - Blaming the media for the CDC's publicity campaign seems weird to me. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 11:37 4
      - people are freakin out in their gourds - people in the e/r waiting rooms are asking the other people there - Epiphany Oct 23, 11:43 3
        
        Oh, local television newscasts. They do crap like that every day. "Something in your kitchen could be killing you! The story at 11:00!" -- nm - mara Oct 23, 11:47 2

    - WHO: nearly 5,000 swine flu deaths worldwide - decline Oct 23, 11:34 5
      - people just being more cautious and it's not any more dangerous? I really don't know. - Epiphany Oct 23, 11:37 4
        
        part of the so-called hype is because of the unknowns and because those being impacted are younger than regular flu. - b.oo! Oct 23, 11:40 3
        
        I tend to live in a bubble - it's hard for me to give all these credence when I don't know anyone with it - Epiphany Oct 23, 11:45 2
        
        would you say you know me? - b.oo! Oct 23, 11:50 1
        
        yes b! I would say I know you. - Epiphany Oct 23, 11:56
