Jack White said to quit the vidya, but he's more than happy collecting royalty payments from licensing his songs!

It's not THAT bad, but O'malley gets better as the series progresses. At least try reading the first volume, you may enjoy it despite itself.XShagrath said:
It looks like a 5th grader trying to draw anime. Art is a big draw on comics/graphic novels, which is why the cover usually looks better than the inner works. I'm with October in that the movie looks like a polished turd (not knowing the source material). I'll probably check it out at some point via Netflix because I dig Edgar Wright, but I really don't care for Cera at all.

Take it from an overly cynical 34 year old manchild; it's incredibly charming, cute and funny. Give it a shot. We won't tell anyone, your goatee will keep its dignity intact.
EDIT: I'm 35
fuck.EDIT: No, I'm 34. Yay!

While I absolutely agree with you when it comes to art in comics, and such, the draw itself is in the writing. Scott is an incrdibly likable character and with classic video game references and a good story, it's a good read.XShagrath said:
Just go to a bookstore and read the first volume. The only thing you have to lose is 45mins.

How can you hate Cera after Arrested Development.

He DOES play the same character as George Michael in everything. Well, everything before Youth in Revolt.Motion Picture Soundtrack said:

Rock Band 1 had some great tracks but the only problem with that game is that the difficulty levels are totally out of whack. Normal is too easy and Hard is too hard. There's no in between at all and that kind of ruins the game a little.
As much as I hate Neversoft, I got to admit they implemented the jump in difficulty between Normal and Hard really well with Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour.

Everyone seems to have a different point at which it clicks. If you still don't like it after Pier Pressure though, yeah, I'd say it's not for you.

Reminds me of a joke.
A young man comes across an old man sitting on a park bench, crying. When he asks him why, the old man replies, "I have a beautiful, 27-year-old wife waiting for me at home." Of course the young man is confused. He asks, "Why are you crying because you have a beautiful, 27-year-old wife waiting for you at home?" The old man looks up and cries out, "I can't remember where I live".

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
You thought Cronos was mediocre? That was mindbogglin'.
Nooo, I'm not there yet. He did say that up to that point the game was great and I haven't really felt the same so far. I'm still only a few save points past getting dash so I'm not really sure how far I am in relation to the halfway point, I just meant that what I've experienced so far I've found to be kind of stale.NameGenerated said:

I agree that "Pier Pressure" is generally the point where the show kicks in. It takes a few episodes before you really start to appreciate it. Some will say it's because it's so character-driven and relies heavily on callbacks, running gags, and foreshadowing, but I'd say it's also because the first episode, while it has it's moments, isn't really one of the better ones (and the extended pilot just makes it really sappy most of the time). Stick with it, however, and I think you'll be rewarded.

Arrested Development is a weird show. At first I didn't like it, in fact I hated it. But about 4 episodes in it clicked with me. It's got some of the funniest subtle dialog and one offs ever. Lots of self referential things too. Some of which you won't notice, they are that well hidden.
Anyways, stick with it. It's awesome I promise.
Edit: Well said Belgand.
Right now I'm just about at the end of Weeds season 5 (jumped the shark at the end of 3), just about to start Supernatural Season 4 (season 1 is pretty thin, but stick with it and it gets better), and down to the last two episodes of Life on Mars (the proper British original; series 2 isn't quite as good as series 1).
I'd also say that spending a good couple of months to watch Babylon 5 was one of the better decisions I made with my life. Season 5 is... not good and I didn't care for the ending, but it worked astoundingly well otherwise. I mean, I have my issues with some of it and how certain things were handled, but it was a great show. Ignore that season one is so incredibly slow-moving and filled with one-off episodes and you'll be rewarded with a deep, rich show and the proof that one of the only ways to make a compelling show with a multi-season arc is to just be a controlling bastard who plans it out in advance and then writes every single episode himself.
Incidentally it looks like I'll be going to PAX this year.

btw, Duck is awesome confirmed.
opeth's actually pretty decent when they're not pretending to be bears.
corkscrewblow said:
Can't say I totally agree with you there. They've already said that the show was designed as having a five-season plot arc and that season 6 is going to be going off of that. I'm thinking that sounds like a bad idea and the chance for the show to really go downhill.
Oh, and the best show that nobody watches is/was Better Off Ted. I hate everyone who didn't watch that show with the flaming passion of a thousand suns. Even more if they were a Nielson family.

Holy Shit. It's Belgand.
Arrested Development is my favorite show ever. It also gets better the more times you watch it because there are so many hidden jokes that you just won't get the first time.
