No anti-heroes or semi-heroes, the hero has to be a do-gooder! Mine would be Goku because he's so strong and beats bad guys while being stupid so I'll always feel superior to him!
I personally feel they're a lazy design and actually take me OUT of the gameplay. I mean unless I'm dealing with virtual reality, I don't want to just look at a hand when playing a game on the screen. I want to see my characters, like in Zelda or Mario or hundreds of other games. The novelty of a game like Mirror's Edge was nice, but that's pretty much it.
Rendition, The Manchuriate Candidate, Body of Lies, hundreds of movies about the War in Iraq or just the general Middle-East turmoil have failed to garner much attention in the US. What made The Hurt Locker so special it even went so far as to win an oscar or two?
It's listed number 1 on AFI's funny movies. But I never really liked Marilyn Monroe; I didn't find her attractive nor does she have a likable personality... But if a movie is number one on SOMETHING, there's bound to be some entertainment to be had right? Anyone seen the movie can say it's still alright even with the absurd concept?
An interesting thought: do you guys think your friends would still like you if you were ugly? If you weren't attractive? Do you think enough charisma can pull it off?
[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]TBBT is one of my favorite shows right now. I find it hilarious and all around awesome, I notice most of the people who don't like it are just not smart enough to pick up on the majority of the best jokes (no offense of course). I guess that's just what you get when you give a generation that lives off fart jokes and physical abuse as comedy an actual comedic performance. I don't like 2 and a half men at all, by the way.XilePrincess
Ah sophisticated humor, I guess I'm not used to such high brow humor of hearing an annoying fake Indian accent ever second and generic hello-CUE LAUGH TRACK type scenes.
Sophisticated jokes are nothing the same as "smart" jokes. Unless you have a basic grasp on the types of science the characters are doing, you won't understand the various witty comments and quips they make in reference to it. And I never said the most obvious jokes, I said the best ones. Again, there is a difference which you neglect to acknowledge. The actor who plays Raj has an indian accent IRL, so it's not fake whatsoever, but of course it's going to be exaggerated for his character, who is supposed to have moved to california to work at the university, so why wouldn't he have a very thick accent? I don't even notice the laugh tracks, because it's one of the few shows where I can laugh on my own without being cued to. A good amount of the comedy on the show comes from not what is said, but the pure talent of the actors' expressions and actions. That's hard to say for most shows. It has NOTHING to do with understanding physics. The delivery of jokes is horrible. HORRIBLE. There's a reason why the big book of jokes we had as kids were written only, not said aloud. They would make titans cringe and puppies cry. I suppose it boils down to different tastes. Heck only 8 years ago I really liked Friends. Than I just watched an episode once and couldn't understand why I didn't like it anymore and why I found the characters aggravating. This may happen to you as you get older and look back at the shows you once liked.
Wait since when did they put FF 5 and 6 on the phone? They're only available via gba. Anyways all the FF games are great so get them in order and ignore everybody else's biased suggestions: Get FF 7, then FF 8, and finally FF 9. If you want you COULD get TActics but it has a MUCH better remake on the PSP
