Saying how Chronicles is drastically inferior to Pitch Black is, to me, irrelevant; it was a sequel in the sense that yes, there were some of the same characters, and yes, it was happening in the same universe as the first movie, but aside from that, it really couldn’t have had less to do with Pitch Black; if you were watching it expecting anything BUT Pitch Black 2, I think you would’ve had an enjoyable time.

It grows on you. Trust me. Trust me like the butler in that Tool song, damn it!

Please, please tell me you’re kidding about The Chronicles of Riddick… That movie was horrible and one of the better Sh*tty movies we’ve put through it’s paces. It was a good idea gone horribly wrong. Drastically inferior to Pitch Black (which wasn’t perfect by any means, but a pretty solid B movie nonetheless).

And yes Die Hard With a Vengeance rocks. Ben is delusional. Vengeance is second only to the original Die Hard for my money in terms of quality. I was very shocked to find that LFoDH wasn’t completely terrible although we did see it in it’s unrated form. I’m sure the theatrical cut is god awful. At least in it’s unrated form you can see that an attempt was at least made to make a “real Die Hard” movie.

@Everyone

Oblivion is awesome. One of the very best games I have ever played. I should get it back from Ben one of these days I suppose. Perhaps I can then make a trek through The Shivering Isles.

ecksem:
I never played FF8. i played 7 and skipped to 10 and 10-2. never finished 10-2. so Oblivian was the first game i can remember olaying where this the leveling thing happens.

Ben, what’s your CoD4 tag (mine is EcksemDiem)? In fact, that question applies to anyone here who plays CoD4 MP on the PC ([insert joke about technology acronyms here]). I’d kill for someone who isn’t totally anoynmous (aside from the occasional “Ekcsks youf uckin sniper fag” comment, which at least happens FAR less than it ever did in BF2) to play with; all of my heathen friends have it for for their “Se’Xbox” (“we report, you decide” my aching ass). Speaking of swarms of people playing CoD4 on XBL, I think I read at Xbox 360 Fanboy (one of Joystiq’s spin-offs, effectively making it a spin-off of a spin-off, thanks to Joystiq’s being spun off from Engadget) that CoD4 wound up being the best-selling game of last year, beating out even Halo 3 despite being out for half as long as it in 2007.

I simply can’t believe Die Limp can be good in any incarnation, and I especially can’t believe it’s better than “With a Vengeance” (the best one, in my opinion, although they’re all (excluding Blow Hard) four star movies), and for one reason (courtesy of Penny Arcade):
“Our webs are down, sir. We can’t log in!”
“Which webs?”
“ALL OF THEM.”
“They’ve penetrated our code walls! They’re stealing the internet!”
“We’ll need to hack all IPs simultaneously.”

Aww, man… I’m two thousand words short of average comment length. :: cries ::

P. S. – Steve’s right on mark, Predator 2 kicked all kinds of ass.

P. P. S. – Stodluke, ever play FF8? That’s the earliest game I can remember where the enemies levelled as you did.
