Old news. It was garbage. I'd rather drink bacon grease.

Fuck that dude, I love that shit. It's FANTASTIC.

When oyu can't eat bacon, DRINK IT.

It's not too bad really, just...interesting.

It tastes normal and then a few seconds after you taste the bacon

Yeah man, I'd agree. I'd never want to like, SHOOT it, but it's so damn good in bloody maries.

Hate: Windows Live (for games).

The following is what I wrote in the 'feedback form' on the xbox.com.

==========================

I understand this will not be read by anyone responsible for the bullshit that is the Xbox Live system. I'm aware of that. But I still need to rant.

I just bought Arkham Asylum on Steam on a good sale; loved it on the PS3 and was looking forward to another playthrough on my PC. Booted it up, found out I need an Xbox Live profile to play. Very weird and frustrating and apparently meaningless; why would I need that? Why would I want that? But, it became evident that I would not be allowed to play the game I purchased without indulging Microsoft in their absurdities, so I signed up for the offline account.

I was then informed that I needed to get the special, Xbox Live free account to save my game, so I was again frustrated, but whatever; I put on some Cat Stevens to calm down and went to the xbox.com site to make my profile.

First time through, after putting in all the information, the site crashed. Lovely and awesome, I now have to do that all over again.

Second time through, the practically unreadable captcha letters were apparently incorrect. Big surprise. Have to put in most of the information in again.

Third time through, the system asks me if I want to use my current windows live account or log into a new one. I was thoroughly confused; I asked to use my gmail account, not my windows live account to sign up. I clicked 'stay logged in.' Put in all the information again and was apparently successful this time around.

Huzzah, great, awesome, X out of browser, back into game, put in my information, and finally get a chance to play the game. Well...no...first I have to update Live, which is apparently actually downloaded to my computer, so that I can have this useless, redundant and sub-par in-game interface that I don't want and don't need but is nevertheless forced upon me.

If Arkham Asylum wasn't so fucking good (pardon my french, but c'mon, you have to admit; the game is brilliant. So damn good.), I would have deleted it off my computer immediately and wouldn't have looked back. I'm thoroughly unimpressed, completely displeased, and certainly will be thinking twice before I ever buy another game with an explicit tie-in to Windows Live in the future.

I would say 'This has also led me to rethink my potential decision to invest in a 360,' but that would just be dishonest. I'll never buy that piece of shit.

To the young/old man/woman who sat through this rant, I again apologize. This obviously isn't directed at you, and I hope you're not so timid that you feel somewhat implicated in my IRATE RAGE ANGER FRUSTRATION. But if you could make sure this gets passed up the channels, and all my excess emotion and ugh doesn't go to waste, I'd appreciate it. Maybe shit in an executive's desk or something.

You know you want to anyway.

I had wrangled through that shit to get the Fallout DLCs at one point, so I had some spare points laying around I never used. One day S.T.A.L.K.E.R, a game I really wanted to try, came on sale for dirt cheap so I use my spare points to grab it. I essentially got that game for free, and I still can not bring myself to use that mound of horseshit to play my free game. Same reason I haven't replayed Bioshock 2. Thank god it is evaporating fast.

Goddamn it.

Suckerpunch could have been so much better. The potential of that film was amazing.

If they had just let me gotten to know the main characters a little bit more, made me care about them, or if they had made the inner worlds MORE strange or overtly colored by psychosis, it would have improved it by leaps and bounds.

The visual effects are amazing, and it's nice to see female characters kicking metric tons of ass, but eh. Just wasn't pulled off very well.

I cant tell if the people around me are growing less mature, if I'm growing more mature, vice-versa, or if I've just used a lifetime's patience a quarter of the way through.

That a quote from something? If not, fairly quotable

"Sucker Punch" is what happens when a studio gives carte blanche to a filmmaker who has absolutely nothing original or even coherent to say.

The movie is like an arrested adolescent's Google search run amok.

There is nothing here to enjoy, beyond the tiny satisfaction in noting that the movie lives up to its name.

Looks aren't everything. Case in point: Sucker Punch, a dazzling visual design that goes tone-deaf every time it opens its dumb mouth or makes claims to profundity.

An indecipherable, hypocritical mess that proves you can fill a movie with scantily-clad women with big guns and it can still bore one to tears.

Hands-down the most nightmarishly awful film of the year.

SO instead of using the inner world mechanic to show off who these characters were and build a story with them, they just kept them as grey two dimensional characters and used the inner worlds as an excuse to just show off their CGI abilities?

[John Doe]

DUDE, developing characters is for n00bs! Nobody wants that!

Maybe I'm the latest noticer ever, but...why does this thread have "lemonparty" across from the title if you look at it from the overall asylum forum?
