TV Discussion Fisto's Disco: The LACWAC Social Thread

It's from a certain BioWare game that nobody ever talks about.

Slightly related video:

 

That's a good intro, jones. I can tell that's from the 90s, the singer is totally radical.

I'm an expert on cartoon themes, so you should all listen to and respect my expert opinion.

 

Speaking of Bioware. I wish Jade Empire would get a sequel. The rock, paper, scissors gameplay wasn't the best, so they should modify combat a bit, IMO. But the story was excellent. And unlike KOTOR, where there were enough hints that the big twist wasn't a total shock, I didn't see Jade Empire's coming at all.

And I loved the theme music

 

Pfft. If you played as Fem-Revan, believe me, it was a shock.

 

THIS.​

I had a blast playing JE.​

And so did Zack Snyder...​

 

CT-867-5309 I don't just listen to and respect your opinions. Your opinions are my opinions! How would the world function if we didn't listen to you, CT?

In regards to BioWare, I'd actually like to see some new IP. We've got one team making a third Dragon Age and another making a fourth Mass Effect. While I definitely want those games, and those stories, I'd like something new to surprise me.

 

No problemo. I dunno about best at using villains but Power Rangers uses villains better than TCW did alot of the time. I haven't seen much of Green Lantern TA and I liked Thundercats 2011. Transformers Prime was my 2nd favorite animated action series on TV after TCW. I'm excited for Predacons Rising. I really don't watch alot of TV except for animated stuff and stuff of Animal Planet, Nat Geo, Science Channel, Discovery... you get the picture. I've recently started on Tron: Uprising which is pretty cool so far.

Yeah I liked Avatar: TLB and Batman Beyond is awesome.

Cool, Amazon delivered my copy of GTA V release date and I've been playing it since. Yeah I know its lame but its the only game I've cared about in a while. I've pretty much given up on gaming and being let down by Ace Combat: Assault Horizon didn't help. So far I'm having a ton of fun with it. I just wish cars I stored and saved wouldn't randomly disappear from the garage but I'd get a racing game if I wanted to customize cars.

 

Anyone else cry at the end of The Wrong Jedi?

 

I'm not at liberty to say.

 

I cried for Waxer and Savage's deaths but Wrong Jedi just didn't get me there

 

Well they really got me on Waxer, not only did I really like that clone but I was a total doofus in thinking that when Kix said Waxer was still alive he was going to be over off screen absolutely fine ready to talk. I thought Waxer would actually have a role in Carnage when I saw he had an entire design slide on the OS material for the episode. When I realized the truth, ahh man.

And I never watched Digimon much. It wasn't a Toonami show back in the day.

 

Oh well, I approve, the kids gotta get into Anime some way. Before you know it they'll be seeking out the Japanese version with subs then the never ending hunt for something new begins.

 

Did anyone catch the premiere of The Blacklist?

 

I feel so out of the loop so no.

 

Agents of SHIELD and the season premier of South Park are pretty much my TV viewing for the week, Throw in a few episodes of Bizarre Foods and Dr. Pol. I need to watch all the new episodes of Wilfred on the DVR but just haven't yet.

 

I didn't catch the Blacklist. The season premiere of Person Of Interest, Revolution, The Mentalist, The Simpsons, Once Upon A Time and the series premiere of The Crazy Ones are my TV viewing for the week + an encore of two episodes of The Mentalist season 5.

 

Stargate, the extended, special edition, definitive-director's cut is about as close to Spader as I'll ever get.

 

Watched a pair of animated movies recently, Rise of the Guardians and Wreck-It Ralph.

I like Rise of the Guardians better. Finally Jack Frost is actually cool, and who can resist a dual wielding Santa Claus and an Easter Bunny with a boomerang? The Tooth Fairy was totally cute and Sandman was amusing, very eccentric. Loved seeing the Boogeyman as the villain. I saw some definite misfires, but the story was decent enough and even got me a little misty at one point. It's a fun movie that makes clever use of classic characters.

Wreck-It Ralph seemed way too dependent on the video game gimmick, as if they expected people to go "OMG STREET FIGHTER" and be totally satisfied. Yeah, that's how old 8 bit sprites used to move. I know, I played those games. I played all of these games. A bunch of video game references does not a movie make. It's like a James Luceno Star Wars EU novel that relies way too heavily on continuity references.

What happens to video game characters when the arcade closes is an interesting idea, but they didn't dig very deep. I liked it better when it was called Toy Story. The story was decent and more interesting to me than the video game gimmick, though the ending seemed extremely rushed. I admit the "you're my hero" moment was very touching.

Sarah Silverman's VA saved the entire movie, imo. She was wonderful. Cute, charming, very funny. A lesser VA performance wouldn't have been able to make the character work and I would have considered the movie a failure without her. Jane Lynch and Alan Tudyk also turned in strong performances.

Don't get me wrong, the video game stuff was slightly amusing, but it's not......it's not anything on its own.
