After spending four days away from the internet in a giant videogame hugbox, I feel like I have to completely relearn everything I used to know. Where should I start?

Anonymous Robot posted:I went to PAX once and it was a whole lot of waiting in huge lines to see game trailers I could've found online in twenty seconds. But then, I don't really get excited for any game until it's been released and proven good, because most games are hype machine garbage. No joke, this is why I spent most of my time wandering the indie developer booths. I met a few of the Pinball Arcade guys from Farsight, and one of them said he spent the better part of a year trying to convince the team to do WhoDunnit? (IMO the best pinball machine.) Why they wasted season 2 on crap like Goin' Nuts and Class of 1812 when they had WhoDunnit? just sitting around, I will never know.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:I will say waiting an hour and a half for The Evil Within was up there on the dumbest things I've ever done. Not even the swag was cool. I will die happy if I never hear the word 'swag' again. One thing that actually kinda pissed me off was the oatmeal in the swag bags (ugh). Each bag had a set of exclusive Cards Against Humanity cards hidden inside packets of oatmeal (named Pwnmeal, because nerds). Even if it was never meant to be actually eaten, that's a ton of oatmeal that could have gone to a homeless shelter or urban ministries or something, and nerds are just dumping it in the trash for a card that says "Peter Jackson's poop". FishBulb posted:But Monster Bash is the best pinball table... Monster Bash is great, but there's just something insanely satisfying about a real live WhoDunnit table. I think it's all the fake gambling.

Sprecherscrow posted:Sex metaphor in pinball sounds like a woefully under-explored concept. Let me tell you about a little game called Big Bang Bar, where you shoot ramps to bring a sci-fi go-go dancer to orgasm. Unsurprisingly, they didn't make very many Big Bang Bar machines.

When I saw Spider-Man last night, during the Godzilla trailer some dude let out a loud "HEY ITS WALTER WHITE". Only he said it in a tone that sounded like he had been saying that exact thing at that exact trailer for weeks. Dude sounded bored by his own joke.

Hewlett posted:So Million Dollar Arm is the kind of movie that tries to get away with pretending that Lake Bell is "not a model" (actual line of dialogue from the film). "Baseball shouldn't be about business. It should be about fun. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm too busy dealing with baseball business to watch you kids have baseball fun." That movie was two of the longest hours of my life, because Jon Hamm's character kept making the same mistake and learning the same lesson over and over again and it never loving ended.

Hewlett posted:I just did my own sloppy write-up of Blended here but yeah, it was just brain-meltingly tedious. Perhaps the worst part is attempting to rehabilitate Sandler's typical character by giving him the dead-wife excuse. Take a blind date to Hooters? My dead wife ran that Hooters. I'm a schlubby jerk? My dead wife loved how much of a schlubby jerk I was. I give my daughter gender dysmorphia and make her the butt of tranny jokes due to her unflattering haircut? My dead wife had that haircut, and I thought she was just great!  Just when I think Adam Sandler couldn't stoop any lower, someone has to come and prove me wrong.

CloseFriend posted:Last night it was my dad's turn to pick the movie, so we ended up watching Zookeeper. And worst of all is that it's a movie for children. Or at least I think it is. I can't imagine anyone, even Kevin James and Adam Sandler, making a film that blatantly repulsive from the word go and thinking "Yes, this will meet with the approval of my peers." You have now been marked for life. Welcome to the club.

Y Kant Ozma Diet posted:The new Transformers is a bloated nauseating mess and Kelsey Grammer was the worst choice possible. Because if you're setting out to make a terrible movie, don't accidentally cast a great actor who spins crap into gold. Actually, the movie really hosed up, because they did this like four or five times.

Coffee And Pie posted:Slice of life: after my first trip to the dentist in years, I've learned I need two wisdom teeth removed, multiple root canals, and a few cavities too. After having a couple fillings put in today, my dentist asked me to come back next week to touch up my two older fillings. "Oh, well those shouldn't be too bad, right?" "No," she said. "We pretty much have to take them out and completely redo them." gently caress.
