Tardstar posted:Did you someone how just miss it or are you one of those wretched young people? I'm literally scared that there are people born in the 90's on SA. It sucks. I was born in '84, and I haven't seen any of the Alien series (Edit: or Robocop, for that matter). I don't think I've see any of the Terminator series all the way through, just caught bits and pieces at a time on TV if it's playing. I did watch the Predator movies, though.. on up through AvP.

Der Luftwaffle posted:In the same way, it really gets me now that I can reliably recognize which movies are using the most over-used stock gun and explosion noises. It's simultaneously hilarious and mood-shattering when I'm listening to an epic gunfight with sounds from the first Command and Conquer game. Oh god, yes. I remember playing Civilization II back in the day, and the old melee sound effects were the same effects used in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" during the fight with the Black Knight. No, seriously, they're the same effects. Listen to it. Then there's always the old Wilhelm Scream (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream). Is it really that hard to record a new scream every now and again? It's STILL turning up in movies and TV shows today!

How could anyone forget about me?  But seriously, they're more for glancing blows, not full-on blasts. I read dozens of the Star Wars EU novels growing up.. You know, I really wish I could contribute more to this thread, but my issues are usually passing things- they bug me while they're there, but then I tend to forget about them over time. I'm sure something will come to me though.

DrBouvenstein posted:Anytime there is a stand-off between two people, and they don't shoot each other. I had a professor talk about this in school. I think the fear is that they will have a muscle spasm or jolt as they are shot and pull the trigger themselves, so you both end up dead/wounded. I mean, you don't just go limp and fall to the floor. It makes sense, and if you've ever fired a gun, you know how easy gun triggers are actually pulled.

Kindof along the same lines of ordering generic beer or cigarettes in movies and TV shows, I HATE that people on-screen never finish their drinks or meals. They'll order a drink, take a couple sips, and leave. "How I Met Your Mother" is REALLY bad about this. If I'm going out and ordering an overpriced drink at a bar, I'm drat well finishing it.

They're guilty of this on "Castle" too. When Castle brings Beckett her morning cup of coffee (which is in a ceramic re-usable coffee cup, for some reason), it's obviously empty by the way they gesture with it. Yeah, you can move cups around, but if there's scalding hot liquid sloshing around in it, you're going to react to the shift in weight. And despite the incredible suspension of disbelief you need to watch that show, it is wildly entertaining and probably one of the best things on TV right now.

JustinMorgan posted:In Walking Dead when the cop takes the horse and winds up galloping thru the city to escape the zombies, I'm kind of relieved it gets eaten by zombies, because that horse would have been completely crippled the next day from the impact on its legs from running on the concrete. I watched that episode with a horse-owner and pair of vet techs and they were all freaking out about the same thing. Of course, they all said that they would have been doing it too if it meant zombie death.

Mu Cow posted:On a similar note, I always found it hilarious that Lucy Lawless had a New Zealand accent on "Battlestar Galatica" when all the other Cylons had American accents. Well, yeah, but the people of "Battlestar Glactica" were from a dozen different planets, each with their own regions. Who's to say that one of their accents can't be equivalent to what a New Zealand accent (or British in the case of Gaius) would sound like? The Cylons were meant to blend in, maybe it was programmed because of whatever real woman she was based on, or maybe they thought it would help her blend in on her first mission.

We've got a young-ish kitten, only a few months old if that, and he loves nothing more than to jump out of hiding and attack the ankles of passers-by. Imagine if he was all aliened up and did that. He'd take out your Achilles tendon, easily. The rest would be easy, just go for the throat.

Rurea posted:After watching the trailer you linked ( which I've seen a billion times and is totally awesome) something irritated me. Why the gently caress is the Flash so useless in that trailer? He was moving so incredibly slow. I mean, we see superman travel from the sun to earth in a few seconds. But the Flash is running maybe 60 mph. What gives? He should have been able to completely avoid the fire from Joker, and gotten to Black Atom in a fraction of a second. The Flash is so incredibly powerful and the video turns him into a guy who can run at a moderately fast speed. I wanna see the Flash kill 10 dudes in 1/10th of a second. I played this game for a while, and I have two.. somewhat reasonable explanations in comic book terms. First, if you look at Flash, he's armored in a way he normally wouldn't be. His suit is supposed to fit into a ring. He's in a loving recolored Batman battle suit, and he probably can't move as fast. And secondly, he's not the "normal" Flash. This is an alternate Earth. They had to make his speed reasonable for the context of the game. Your character in the game is supposed to have their DNA mixed with that of existing superheroes- Flash included. If you could traverse the map in the blink of an eye, it wouldn't be fair to anyone who didn't choose Super Speed as their "travel power" (the alternatives being Flight and kinda Batman-like Acrobatics). Edit: Oh, and if you look closely, the first thing you see is Green Arrow dead on a pile of rubble. Ollie Queen would never go out like a bitch like that.
