The weirdest way my brain has ever altered...
This thread is about the effect when you see/hear/read something or participate in a situation/conversation that is so shocking or weird to you that your brain immediately corrects it and makes it “comfortable” for you. Later on, when you observe the object/text/song/conversation/video/situation again, you realize that your brain deceived you, and at the time, you literally had...

Star Wars: Force Unleashed Review (PSP)
(No spoilers, until a certain point where I will warn you!)
I have finally finished this game. I couldn’t wait to get over with it, because it’s really not that good.
But let’s start with the good:
The storyline is set between EP III and EP IV. It’s always nice to see a game that’s not about the prequel trilogy era.
You can play as Darth Vader! This is so awesome...

Netflix and Firefly - Round 2
You can read an insightful (albeit speculative) blogpost here. I myself have speculated about this already.
For the whedonesque post about this, the following comment was submitted:
People seem to forget or have not heard that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings was asked specifically about Firefly this past summer:
“…a colleague wanted her to suggest Firefly, a show Fox canceled almost...

Whenever I look up the sky at night,
I imagine the following: since the universe is infinite, therefore it’s like a huge library of babel for galaxies - every kind of galaxy exists, with infinite habitable planets. Therefore an infinite number of solar systems exist just like ours, with very little differences.
So there must be an inifinte number of planets that are very similar to our planet. In my imagination, I always pick...

"God gives you supreme control of the Star Wars...
Asked someone on TvTropes. Here is my answer:
Withdraw the Zahn Trilogy from canon immediately, hire Joss Whedon to write and direct a CG-animated, serious episode VII, VIII, IX trilogy - using the voices of the original actors.
Make a Firefly/Star Wars crossover CG-movie too (also written by Whedon), if it gets popular, use the popularity to fuel Firefly Seasons 2-10.
Make a live...

Sad Nerd Things: So my Playstation 2 just died. →
recessiveprodigy:
Sure, that may sound like a stupid First-world problem, but I’ve had memories with that thing. I’ve had it since god knows when and it’s served for hundreds of hours. It kept working past the new generation, and I amassed like 50+ games for it. Today I turn it on to play some Gran Tourismo 4, and…
If that was a phat, you could try playing games from HDD… Other...

A few points about Transformers 3
Making mankind rebuild your home planet… What kind of plan is th… Did you think about the logistics of that???!? People require food, oxygen, living quarters, facilities, medical care, transportation, and this is just from the top of my head! Multiply that by 6 billion, and your plan to enlsave humanity falls flat on it’s miserable face.

– An user comment about Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon on IMDb.
I felt desensitized after all the explosions, giant robot fights and military stuff, it was so tiring, I sank in a melancholy for a few minutes after the credits rolled.
I missed only a few things: consistency, substance, weight,...

It would’ve been a much much better movie (i. e.: it wouldn’t have sucked) if he directed it.

One thing irritated me in the trailer (other than the fact that it has all the “modern” (i. e. boring) horror movie tropes): as a huge fan of the 1982 film, I say that a Thing film doesn’t need this “people being dragged away” idiocy. If someone is caught, they are caught and imitated almost instantly, dragging makes about as much sense as when Terminators throw...

There is a difference between using technology to develop a game and using a game to develop a technology. But back in the day, there were some companies who despite using new technology, focused on gameplay.

4 hours of Firefly on Netflix! →
This is a great idea by browncoats! Let’s show Netflix that the show could be profitable!!!

TvTropes is the best site ever. True Art Is Incomprehensible.

sati1984:
“Swisher said a colleague wanted her to suggest Firefly, a show Fox canceled almost a decade ago after it ran for just one year. Hastings acknowledged the show is popular among Netflix streamers, but that it would be impractical to create new episodes, given the actors have aged and the sets no longer exist.”
What? Actors age over time? Da-shiong bao-jah-shr duh la doo-tze!*

And in a separate post, as a summary:
The CEO said, that there are two obstacles which prevent the production of new Firefly episodes (see the last paragraph of the article):
1. The actors are too old.
No, they are not, and even if they are, just leave it to Joss, how he incorporates their aging into the plot. I’m sure it would be no problem for him.
2. The set no longer exists
This is...

“Heh, yeah! They want to talk about why it got the ratings it did, fine....”
– A comment for the Netflix article.
Umm, yes. FOX screwed up the whole thing, and they can still hinder the development of any new episodes by not selling the rights or by demanding a ridiculous amount of money for it.
But if you can’t run anymore, you crawl. So we need to explore every...

OH COME ON NOW!!! This is… baffling. And ridiculous. And… GOD!!!
