I was on niconico earlier, and if you've never been there, the comments kind of fly across the screen as the video plays
...thank fuck youtube doesn't have that feature.

In 2 or in the entire series? Because in 2... probably not?
He's cool as shit in 4 though.

I decided to install a Chrome extension that hide all YT comments a while ago, so even if I for some reason want to look at the comments I can't.
This extension is pretty great too.
Hard to defend the last few seasons beyond a few standout episodes, I know.
Unless you also have an issue with the early seasons, in which case shame on you sir.

milla is the best tho
Raiden redeems himself near the end of 4 & all of MGR
Early futurama is awesome
The "original run" of Futurama rivals the golden age of The Simpsons to me. The Simpsons is still my favourite, but Futurama was amazing back then.
I like many of the later episodes too, and there's some classics like The Late Philip J. Fry in there. But it's obviously not on the level of season 1-4.
I knew Myggen would understand. Myggen's good people.

You just called Vinny Caravella a dick.
Antiwhippy
the holder of the trombone
He doesn't say anything about italian-americans.
I tried it with two friends a couple of days ago.
I dunno if american sprite or bananas are different but we all came feeling fine.

I mean... have you not ever seen the man play a video game?
Congo, Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, and maybe Rising Sun.
Jurassic Park (the best)
Lost World (not as good as JP but still good)
Airframe is all right if you like planes
Congo is good too (like Sphere, the movie is terrrrrible but the book is good)
I read Rising Sun 10-15years ago and I remember liking it but it's been a long time
Andromeda Strain is also good
I remember reading Terminal Man once 20 years ago and I can't remember much. I really doubt it aged well considering the topic.
The Great Train Robbery is interesting but very different from his other books. If you like robbery stories you might like it.
I know I read Timeline at some point but I have to admit that I had completely forgotten about that book (and movie with Paul Walker I think?) up until 5min ago when I check Chrichton's wikipedia. Wow talk about a black hole in my memory..weird.... Anyway... The book was meh if I remember correctly.
I should re-read it at some point. I just remembered the big twist though...bleh
Yeah, wasn't a big fan of that...
I think I need to re-read Jurassic Park again. I remember that book being pretty amazing.

it's definitely one of his best, and it also signifies the first time in my life I was let down by a movie adaptation of one of my favorite books.

Disclosure I think? I haven't read that since the mid 90s but I remember thinking it was pretty lame.
Yeah I need to buy the Kindle version.
Yeah... I dunno. I kinda see it as 2 different stories. There's so many differences between the two anyway. I see it as both an amazing book and an amazing movie. I just don't really compare them to each other.
I read the book after seeing the movie so it might be different for me.
Also I remember my teenage self being heartbroken that Ellie was married in the book. My childhood crush
lol
Yeah, I haven't read anything past Timeline. Nothing looked really good going by the synopsis.
Yes that's it. Boy, I didn't enjoy that one, the characters were awful.
Yeah it's Disclosure, and I've heard few good things about it. Never read it because of that. It's considered one of his worst, if not his worst novel.

I like the movie a lot now. But 14 year old or whatever me was not as open minded.
yeah weirdly I remember the movie actually being better than the book. As opposed to... all of his other stories.
not that I recommend the movie or anything
I can only really suggest Jurassic Park.
Or check out his John Lange pseudonym books published by Hard Case Crime. They are good and pulpy.

I never really played Uncharted beyond a chunk of 2. Why did people dislike 3 so much? If it was due to it being similar to 2, then I can see why people are disappointed in 4, but otherwise it seems like a nice looking game.
UC3 was just a bad game. Not terrible by any means but really not great. Especially compared to the masterpiece that was UC2. It was clear that the A-Team moved to Last of Us and the B team that made UC3 just wasn't as good.
If you were expecting some innovation, yes.
Also, way better looking but still not as good as one might expect from ND.
3 had more frustrating encounters and felt like a tech demo in spots. still liked it but 2 was definitely better. the shooting felt pretty weird in 3 as well.
I was disappointed by the trailer. Visually it of course looks amazing, but I got a bit tired of the Uncharted formula when I played Uncharted 3...and this looks so similar to the previous games.
Also, I can normally ignore how silly it is that video game protagonists are mass murderers, but just seeing Nathan Drake mow down 10+ people while making smartass comments about said killing in a trailer again is pretty funny to me.
I'm just tired of the franchise I think, and would rather see ND move onto something else. Oh well.
I didn't even catch that a new GoW was announced yesterday, probably says something about my interest in that franchise. I had hoped they would just let that franchise die and move onto something else, but I guess it still makes money...
I was a bit underwhelmed by Sony's thing yesterday, even if everyone else seems really hyped about it. SFV seems cool though, but Capcom must be close to bankruptcy if they can't afford to make a numbered sequel of fucking Street Fighter without cutting a deal with a platform holder.
To be even more negative I thought the short Zelda clip was a huge let-down. An okay-looking empty open world...that's it? I'm sure they'll populate it more, but man it didn't get me excited for the new game in what is one of my favourite franchises ever.
Yeah I agree... But I would still play UC4 anytime over the new God of War that was announced yesterday. Talk about franchises ran into the ground... Well that and Gears of War... Ugh
