    [Gaming] Official E3 2014 Thread

    Also, Super Smash Bros 3ds is releasing October 3, rather than in the summer.

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Nope, like I said, Stane would exist and be a problem regardless of Tony. If Tony had died as a child, Stane would still be selling weapons to terrorists. Howard Stark has more responsibility for that one. EDIT: Well, that's a nope to every conflict only existing because of Tony. I'd agree he...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Stane was still running the company for years before Tony came of age, likely selling weapons to multiple sides the whole time. He didn't make that mess, it would have existed without him being there. It's also questionable if Tony would have picked up on Stane's hidden business dealings much...

    How was it his fault Stane was an evil asshole? I don't why there's a scrappy doo factor for the kid, that was a child character done right. Instead of being an annoyingly sweet or innocent kid that would be steorotypical, he was pretty much a younger Tony and wasn't handled with kid gloves...

    *sighs, turns over "DAYS SINCE LAST MASS SHOOTING IN AMERICA" sign to 0*

    Normally it's when there's 4 or more deaths (not counting the shooter potentially killing themselves). It comes from how the FBI defines mass murder. EDIT: Fixed the link I messed up

    Random Video Game Crap

    Being disappointed with "only" getting Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash seems to be a bit of a pessimistic mindset to me, but even leaving that aside, there's also at least Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Bayonetta 2 (if we count games Nintendo is just publishing), and likely Hyrule Warriors.

    [Console] Mario Kart 8!!!

    And so Mario Kart continues it's trend of having a battle mode that fails to live up the N64 version. It's really jarring this time though, because they got pretty much everything right...except that they used actual race tracks for all the battle maps. I know one of my complaints in previous...

    [Console] Mario Kart 8!!!

    Wii U and Mario Kart 8 picked up! Can't get my free game because Club Nintendo is crapping out (surprise, surprise), but that can wait.

    Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

    But were there any pictures of boys in similar shirts at all? If none of them wore those sorts of shirts, there simply wouldn't be any photos to retouch. You'd think they'd mention it if there were any such photos, to highlight the hypocrisy.

    Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

    While your point is accurate in general, in this specific case you might be jumping the gun a bit in judging their motivations. There wasn't a statement about them being overly concerned about the girls corrupting the poor boys (unless there's one in the video I didn't watch), and basic modesty...

    [Webcomic] The Order of the Stick thread

    Ha ha ha ha. Oh, this should be good. I think you're right, they are a bit slower this month compared to last month. Though given the pile of kickstarter stuff still remaining (and potentially the unspecified, periodic health issue he has), that's not unusual.

    [TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

    Babylon 5 I picked up the complete 5 seasons from Amazon with some gift cards I had and have been binge watching since. I've seen most, if not all, of it before, but not for years. I'm in the middle of the third season now and can confirm this still holds up as one of the best science fiction...

    [Movies] I'm starting an Amazing Spider-Man 2 thread and no one can stop me

    I guess it is, because I didn't see Garfield acting "cool" at all, though I do need to correct you as that scene wasn't within a few minutes of knowing her, that was after he got spider powers and was following him showing up Flash in front of everyone.

    [Movies] I'm starting an Amazing Spider-Man 2 thread and no one can stop me

    Someone being so weird they scare you like that goes past "awkward" and hits "creepy". That's how Tobey did it, but I haven't seen a comics/animated version of Peter that played it that way. Speaking as a formerly nerdy, socially awkward (but not creepy) teen, Garfield hit that nail on the head...

    If a love interest being into them means they're not awkward, than neither actor did an awkward Peter Parker, both won the girl. Some people do find awkward people cute, that doesn't make them not socially awkward.

    [Movies] I'm starting an Amazing Spider-Man 2 thread and no one can stop me

    I think it's more that Garfield is a better looking guy than Maguire than the skating. Sounds like Garfield's portrayal to me. Do I need to link to him being awkward and barely able to talk to a pretty girl again?

    Not really, that's pretty well representative of him in social scenarios.

    Maguire may have looked more the part, but Garfield's awkward teen acting was far better and more genuine that Maguire's IMO, who acted fairly unnaturally and rather offputting. Admittedly, I haven't seen ASM2 yet, but I can't see how Garfield's Peter can really be called too confident.

    [Console] Mario Kart 8!!!

    Yep, between Mario Kart, the bonus game, Super Smash coming out this year, and some of the GBA games in the WIi u store (though I'd perfer these on the 3ds store), it's finally enough to make the Wii U to worth it.
