    One Early RoboCop Reaction Calls The Remake Better Than The Original

    It wouldn't be hard to be better than the original. The first two really annoy me as there was so much symbolism and emotional set up that was abandoned later in the film for mindless shoot-'em-up nonsense. Balancing those out would be a big improvement.

    Why does everyone rag on Hawkeye?

    Because Jeremy Renner's version (script and all) makes Hayden Christensen and Chris Hemsworth look dynamic.

    What's your favorite Doctor Who line or moment?

    I like him as an actor and I'm thinking he'll be very good in the role. I'm guessing he'll be a more sarcastic doctor, but we'll see.

    What's your favorite Doctor Who line or moment?

    Lots of them throughout the years but my favorite is either River's monologue at the end of "Silence in the Library" or the moments where Donna and the Doctor learn the truth about the Ood in "Planet of the Ood". The farewell to Rose and Amy saving the Starwhale are up there also. From...

    Words, Phrases, and Misspellings We Hate

    These are majorly irritating, not because they're spelled incorrectly, but because they're flat-out WRONG: plurals. Singular is the same as plural for Eladrin, Dragonborn and Drow! They aren't Eladrins, Dragonborns and Drows!

    Sleepy Hollow

    Watched it, thought it was okay. The incongruities of the police force bugged me also, and Tom Mison's promo picks made me think they were doing another Hitchhiker's Guide movie as they remind me of Sam Rockwell's Zaphod without the smirk.

    Would YOU take this flight on Friday the 13th?

    Ask yourself three questions: Is it 1307? Am I a Templar? Is anyone scared of the French any more? If the answer to one or more of those questions is "no", then why wouldn't you take the flight? :D

    D&D 3.x the worst thing about 4e is the best thing about 3e...

    So....Deep Purple and Disco represent the 70s music scene? :p In other words, yes, I agree.

    D&D 3.x the worst thing about 4e is the best thing about 3e...

    For old edition modules I found combining "rooms" makes the most sense. The first mook to roll high initiative raises the alarm and the forces band together at various points to actually mount a good defense. Fewer, more interesting combats and a more spacious battleground.

    Of the WotC Forums and the OTT

    Because they don't want you to grow up to be adult zombies? Erm, wait......I think I need the Monster Manual or Van Richten Guide for that one....

    Words, Phrases, and Misspellings We Hate

    As far as game terms: Gish is specific to Githyanki, not a general term. RAW, considering how many rules debates there are and the nature of lawyers in general. Real Life: Actually know the words you are using and what you're actually saying. If your business has changed names you may have...

    Difference From 10 Years Ago?

    Yeah, and rose-colored views of yesteryear are nothing new to humanity in general. Heck, I remember when I was a kid hearing about how much better it was for everyone back in the day from my grandparents' generation (and even my parents')and asking "Sure, because mom not being allowed to have...

    Difference From 10 Years Ago?

    Discourse in the Edition Wars is no different than in sports, politics, music, etc. Go to any comments section on internet stories (ex: Yahoo articles) and one really starts to doubt the intellect and usefulness of the human race. Political talk radio thrives on people uniting behind...

    Metal School

    Not bloody likely. Warner had solid mechanics, accuracy and a decent arm coming out, he just came from a small school and the pro game was too big for him. (re: speed) Part of the reason he didn't stick at first was because of where he came in: Green Bay with Favre, Brunell and Detmer on the...

    Difference From 10 Years Ago?

    You were obviously not frequenting the same establishments I was. The 1E/2E split hit my later college game group and it was very tense for a while. We finally got to the point of using handwaving/houseruling to just use whatever from whichever. At the FLGS is was also tense, but people were a...

    Metal School

    Translation: Tebow is a lousy quarterback but his cult-like following would buy tickets and merchandise so we'd be happy to sign him.
