Just started this game a few days ago. I'm not sure yet how I feel about it. A LOT about this game is different from the previous ones.
The Bad:
I'm not too happy about the remapped controls. I think Bioshock 1 & 2 had a really great control scheme and I think changing it was a bad idea. It's not a big change, but it's just different enough to be annoying. I also think the "message" of this game is a lot more ham-fisted than the first two. Bioshock was 2K's big critique of Objectivism and Bioshock 2 was 2K's big critique of Collectivism. Both were insightful and thought-provoking in their own way. Bioshock: Infinite is 2K's big critique of Evangelical Christianity, but instead of feeling intelligent and deep, this just seems like a crude caricature. I haven't gotten terribly far yet so maybe the game will surprise me, but so far it's making me grind my teeth.
The Good:
I like the fact that we've finally split away from Rapture and Andrew Ryan. I didn't think I was gonna like it, but I do. I'll miss the Big Daddies and the Splicers but I think 2K had just about plumbed the depths of what Rapture had to offer in terms of story. I'm glad they let Rapture go out on a (relatively) high note and moved on to something new. I also like the fact that we actually get to see the new city of Columbia before everything went to shit. And I especially like the mystery of who, and what, Elizabeth really is.

Catching Fire Review
I just went to see (literally, I just got back about an hour ago) The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Short version: I approve of this sequel.
This is one of those rare sequels to a good movie that not only matches the original but surpasses it. If you liked the first movie you will love the Hell out of this one. I'm even told it keeps extremely close to the source material as well, so all you book fans should be pleasantly surprised.
There are a lot of things about this movie that I really liked. One thing I thought was especially well done was how they got across how horrifying and macabre the Hunger Games would actually be for the people a
Diablo III: A newcomer's perspective
Full disclosure: I have never played a Diablo game before in my life. I have always been a console gamer so I've never gotten an opportunity to play the first two games in this series. I'm reviewing this game from the perspective of someone totally unfamiliar with this series and this general style of gameplay.
Short version: So far, I'm enjoying the Hell out of it.
Don't get me wrong, Diablo III is FAR from a perfect game. Many of the things I'm accustomed to seeing in a fantasy RPG are not present, and I find their absence rather glaring.
The story for instance is borderline non-existent. By that I mean, you can literally skip every cuts
Pacific Rim review
You know how people always say that a movie with giant robots in it is awesome by definition? This is the first movie I've ever seen where I can honestly say that's true.
Pacific Rim is...a mixed bag of a movie. To be perfectly frank, most of the non-action scenes really aren't that good. The actors do their best (most of them anyway) but the plot is razor-thin and the script is pretty mediocre. In fact in some places it's pretty damn bad.
But, BUT, the actions scenes are SO good that you'll barely notice.
Brief plot summary (spoilers):
Aliens from another dimension open a portal to our Earth (the portal comes out at the bottom of the Pac
My 5 Most Hated Internet Memes
As a member of the internet generation, I of course have an appreciation for meme humor. I still laugh at lolcat pictures and I've always felt the Chuck Norris Facts were hilarious (though I prefer the lesser known Bruce Campbell Facts).
However, as much as I enjoy internet memes there are some that I just can't stand:
1. O RLY?
I just...don't understand this one. I mean, I get the idea. It's an owl. The owl is making a surprised face (sort of). And it's captioned with a poorly spelled surprised phrase. ...How is this funny exactly? At least with lolcat pictures there's some sort of joke being told (well, most of the time). But here it's j

Probably because you really had to think about it also because the sadness that came with it. Also the double mint twins were kind of funny and yet annoying.
