speaking of Fletch...

Quote from: Roger Ebert

The problem is, Chase's performance tends to reduce all the scenes to the same level, at least as far as he is concerned. He projects such an inflexible mask of cool detachment, of ironic running commentary, that we're prevented from identifying with him . . . Fletch needed an actor more interested in playing the character than in playing himself.

Ebert liked the film overall. Dat weak link.

It's the arbitrary parameter that makes the thread different. How difficult is this to understand? That is the topic. Every thread has that has a topic, restricts all posts to that topic including its "arbitrary" limits. Otherwise, making a topic would be irrelevant. It doesn't take rocket scientist to figure that out.And you are blaming the OP for creating his own topic because it doesn't fit with your agenda? That's just sad.You want more? If you want to talk about or present pictures showing games depicting the largest gap in visuals in a franchise in a given generation or whatever it is that tickles your fancy then make your own thread.
It's disgusting to be vilified for following the protocols of a forum and sticking to the topic.

This line absolutely slayed me

There's a big difference in effect due to the camera positioning but the graphics are essentially the same. HG/SS look better than B/W, even. But that's because the new angles make too many jaggies.

I was going to disagree with you until I saw the shots he posted and holy wow visual downgrade, Andy-kun. $:-\$

I also enjoy Community but it's not consistently funny and I wouldn't put it up there with any other great shows, say like NEWSRADIO

Figured. Some of the stuff was funny and some was extremely hit or miss. Sounds like the early seasons are more hit than miss.

Without a shadow of a doubt I cast my vote solely on Wii-U

- Weak sales
- Weak slow O.S.
- Weak ports
- Weak controller battery life
- Weak pack in game. ( All types of non gaming folk talked about Wii Sports, No one mentions Nintendo Land.)
- Weak launch & near launch titles.
- Weak graphical capability against 6-7 year old Hardware

Wii k-U

Nintendo alienated their fan base for years for the casual dollar, real gamers long since moved on.
Bayonetta 2 won't bring them back....

Nintendo fans really hate the Vita, Seems to me they should hate themselves for the crap they put up with.
What is this source of undying loyalty?
I would rather get gang raped by a multi-colored herd of Yoshi's than buy another Nintendo home console at this point.

that one is kind of dumb because it is a great game and the OP is judging it solely on looks. The reaction is annoying though- "LOL put on your flamesuit" and "Please list your favorite games" and basically a whole bunch of defensive and ad hominem shit for no reason. Just like the McRib thread, this one sums up forums/message boards pretty nicely...tyranny of the majority, who have themselves fooled into believing they have the best taste, only acceptable perspective, or whatever. It's not really GAF specific though. If this thread were about Reddit, we'd have volumes upon volumes of shit to cover and I'd be a lot angrier!

They're the most entertaining games related podcast out there. Most gaming podcasts out there are fucking terrible. In fact, only three gaming podcasts don't make me cringe: Warning a Huge Podcast (which hasn't been updated in almost half a year so I'm assuming it is dead), Cruncheons, and Giant Bomb. I don't agree with their views all of the time but I want some good gaming talk without hearing any sopping soliloquies about how games are like totally art man and unfunny tryhards.

Regarding Giant Bomb, I don't like Brad at all because he seems to be like a gaffer in all of the worst ways. I guess it isn't surprising to see #TeamBrad on the thread.
