Thinly veiled defensive post?
Anyway, I signed up because many forums I used before had actual intelligent discussions about games.
Oh, I meant she denied that she'd been offered the role, despite Whedon's purported intentions.
In terms of her performances, I'd say:
The Lovely Bones > Atonement > Hanna > Byzantium > The Way Back > Death Defying Acts > The Host > City of Ember > I Could Never Be Your Woman > The Christmas Miracle of Johnathan Toomey (she only has a few scenes in this)
In terms of how the films fair overall, I'd say:
Atonement > Hanna > The Way Back > Byzantium > The Lovely Bones > City of Ember > Death Defying Acts > I Could Never Be Your Woman > The Christmas Miracle of Johnathan Toomey > The Host
I actually haven't seen all of Arrietty and the last time I thought to watch it, I couldn't find my BD. Violet & Daisy, after experiencing a rough ride, had a limited theatrical run in the US in June but isn't releasing on BD until November, so I haven't had the chance to see it. Her next film is How I Live Now, which releases in the UK in October and in the US some time in Autumn -- I'm looking forward to it as apparently the book isn't half bad and the adaptation is reportedly quite dark.
I don't care for your tone. If all you're going to offer is thinly-veiled insults then I'd prefer it if you didn't post anything at all.

We still have those, just depends who you're talking to. Some people strictly talk games, others have a wider range of interests.
And you'll find that here in spades. The "Saoirse Appreciation Society" is just us having a bit of good-natured fun - sorry if that puts you off. : /

139 pages in a week. Pretty sure there is something in here for everybody.
Nope, not for everybody. Haven't seen any talks about Creedence lately, so I'm outta here

Wait what? I wasn't insulting you.
I asked was it a thinly veiled defensive post as he asked "why did you sign up then?" out of the blue, quoting my post which was in jest.
And i answered saying that forums I used to frequent before didn't have much intelligent discussions on games.
Not sure how you interpreted that as an insult.
Oh it seems people misinterpreted what I said. perhaps its the irish sarcasm, I dont know, but I wasn't insulting anyone and saying that there isn't intelligent discussion here. Its actually the opposite what I was saying. This thread is probably the best thread ive come across here since ive joined.
Earlier in the year there was a rumour floating around that she was Whedon's "prototype" for Scarlet Witch; Saoirse said that she'd like to do it, but when later rumours suggested that she had been offered the role, she shot them down.
"Obsessed" is such a strong word. I prefer "enthusiastic".
Just a friendly reminder Jase, those court orders aren't just meaningless pieces of paper.
You actually forgot a word in your previous post, so it sounds like you're saying "at least other forums had some intelligent discussion, while this one has none"
Do you think I'd be let off the hook if I explain that my dog really did eat them? He's fond of paper!
Oh, I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but in my defence you seem to have misspoken in your earlier post (hence the emphasis):
I interpreted it to mean that you signed up here expecting the same level of discourse, but have since found yourself disappointed.
seems like I've riled up the people
sweet

Oh I see where the misunderstanding came from.
Damn autocorrect, replace "had" with "hadn't" and you will see what I originally meant to say.

Wow thanks for the detailed listings. I now know what to watch for the next months. Let's see her in action then. I know I like her voice and accent already as I have heard an interview with her recently.
Take what to PM? The tangents have come to a close: Eanan misspoke and kajo has his list.

Just a heads up:
The new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 gamescom trailer is largely the same as the one shown during E3 (meaning, still very spoilery if you haven't played Lords of Shadow 1 yet) but it also has an additional 20 seconds or so at the end featuring another minor spoiler.

Ah, thanks for the heads-up. I was waiting for it to buffer.

It most likely won't be on Steam.
It's an EA Partners game, which have a history of releasing on Steam. The only exceptions are:
Hellgate: London: A multi-publisher mess which died a quick death.
Crysis 3: No signs of it coming to Steam yet, but Crysis 2 re-appeared as a "Maximum Edition", inclusive of all DLC, so there's a good chance it'll do the same.
Syndicate 2012: Even more of an outlier considering Syndicate is an EA-owned IP.
Additionally, Respawn didn't outright deny a Steam release when asked about it.

To be fair, no one cares about the Syndicate reboot.
Just like VTM was for so many years.

Despite history suggesting a Steam release is likely, I'm nonetheless conflicted due to the simple fact that this is the first EAP game EA has cared to market, and market strenuously at that. Given EA's rather petulant Steam exit, "Hey, guys, we'll actually put our marketing muscle behind your game if you agree to forgo a Steam release!" is entirely within the realm of possibility.
Sweet, looks like a global deal.

Scratches: Director's Cut -- MB-9DA3E7283ED724BA
something about the infinity ward guys leaving actiblizz after years of dealing with strings attached high profile development going right back into it with ea rings kinda ironic to me
what type of build are you?
on my first play through I just tanked them and beat them on my first try.
if you put on full havels gear and have a decent +15 weapon it shouldn't be so bad. Just kill them fast.
It's a "damage race". Forget about your shield ant attack them two-handed. Stay VERY close to them and roll to avoid attacks. You should have time to use Estus Flask. The most important thing is deal damage as fast as you can, don't stop. If I remember correctly, their weakness is fire.
Thanks for the tip. I'll avoid it then. Hate it when this kind of shit happens.
I do. I'd like to play it.
Full dex, I use a Balder sword. I have like 30 in HP and Endurance, and probably 40 in Dexterity right now. Nothing in the other stats except maybe a couple points in strength.
I'm using the Crest shield against them to block off their magic attacks.
I do constantly manage to kill the first one before the second one appears, but it's all downhill from there

A few more hints:
- Their damage is for some reason based on proximity, meaning the closer you are to them, the less damage they deal to you
- Wear armor with lots of poise and defense (Stone or Havel) and don't worry about dodging too much, just tank all their hits and deal damage as fast as you can
- Use the Grass Crest Shield or eat the Grass that speeds up Stamina regenration

Use your strongest weapon, equip a good armor (I used Stone Armor which can be found in Darkroot Garden) and get close to the first king fast. Then just hack away at him until your stamina is empty. By this time you should have gotten quite some damage but still live. So use the time that your stamina needs to recover to heal up and then attack again. I just did this with a SL25 character b/c I want to coop with a friend and can't level up to stay in coop range. It was very close but I manged to do it. Rinse and repeat for all 4 kings. A small pro tip: If you hack away at a dying king the boss health bar at the bottom still depletes so theoretically if you deal a third of a kings damage extra to each of the first three the last one won't show up.

For reasons unclear I just got a second free copy of "edge" in my inventory.

The puzzle game edge, no sharks sorry!

That's going to be tough. Havel Gear (including the Ring) would be my recommendation to get less damage, although you'll lose mobility. Use this for reference
Great I'll probably get this now
I was really surprised to see titanfall in that list - impressed
Borderlands 2 for 5 . Not bad.

I think Scratches is gone but ModBot didn't edit this or the last post. I tried getting it after nobody seemed to care yesterday and got no reply.
Hum. Thanks. Next time I'll ask a receipt.
Good deal. Wish the season pass was similarly discounted, already have the base game!
