Idiocracy was one of the most uncomfortable movies I’ve watched. It was terrifying to me to imagine being Luke Wilson in that situation
quote:
I think it's borderline terrible, but for some reason everyone here adores that movie. The only thing I can think of is that I watched it on TV, so it was edited some. But even watching it that way, it just wasn't very good IMO, and I've always wondered why people seem to hold it up as some sort of classic like Office Space.
quote:
It’s A flawed movie but that’s because it was neutered by the studio. Office space is a better movie in just about every way. However, idiocracy is filled with some hilarious scenes and characters.
I don’t know how you can watch idiocracy and not laugh. The real brilliance of the movie that no one thinks that movie is making fun of them.
I don't think I made it through the movie. I had absurdly high hopes going in because Office Space was one of my favorite movies, and I think my high expectations set up Idiocracy for failure. I, too, got uncomfortable thinking about being in Wilson's shoes in the movie, and Maya Rudolph's character was just annoying.
My one positive takeaway from the movie was a video about it that Judge made, where he said they chose to make everyone where Crocs because they were the stupidest footwear ever invented.

This. TotK can wait. Majora's Mask is a great game, and I think you appreciate it even more right after ending OoT

So I only caught a few seconds here and there. Sounded like it was mostly ports of switch games to switch 2? What was actually announced?
I saw a couple of new games... Sports Resort 2 and Xenoblade 4. And then confirmation of OoT remake for this year. Anything else?

I greatly prefer the Switch 1 pro controller over the 2. I find the handle buttons distracting. And the switch 2 controller plastic feels a little bit less grippy.
Agreed here. The handle buttons you can program are a bit weird when you pick it up, but then you quickly forget about them once the games start. And yeah, it does feel a little more flimsy and less grippy than the original switch pro controller.
That said, I still do prefer either pro controllers to the joy-cons. My only gripe about the Mario Galaxy games on the switch is that I felt like you needed to use the joy-cons, and I never quite got over how annoying they are to use over a regular controller. I wish they had some way to use the wii controllers on the Switch.

Probably a liberal NGO funding them as part of their media propaganda
I thought you were referring to the game's publisher, which was founded by Larry Ellison's daughter. :lol:
The company has backing from one of the world's richest men, so figured that's one of the main components of the 10/10 reviews.
I don't know about $80... but you can buy it today on Walmart's website for $59 with free shipping.
Release Date, June 25th.

I played Chrono Trigger around 2001 and I think it's superior to any of the Final Fantasy games I've played.
Yep.
Oh shite. I thought it was a sequel.
I still need to finish the main game. I guess I have some homework to do.

For those who have played both six and seven, which do you prefer?
Of my friends who have played both, they mostly seem to lean toward six, and I'm wondering if that's generally true. It seems like seven is just remembered so fondly because it was a lot of people's introduction to the final fantasy series on playstation?

Was actually talking about getting the wii at a cookout with some neighbors yesterday. Back when it released, we had a big group of college friends up at a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
Got bored on release night, and decided to drive into the tiny mountain town to buy one at their Walmart. We figured nobody would be there since we were in the middle of nowhere, but sure enough there was a line about 100 deep by the time midnight hit. Fortunately, we were like eighth in line, and most of the people behind us went back empty-handed.
We played bowling until like 6 in the morning. It was glorious.

I gave up on them after the PS1 era. Didn't like the direction they were going. I preferred when the tone was mostly swords and castles and not like steam punk, modern shite. The tone began getting way more anime/weird Japanese shite and less medieval fantasy.
This. I loved all of the snes games, but gave up pretty early on ff7. It's funny because one of the main reasons I bought a backwards compatible ps3 years ago was to finally play 7. To me, it just didn't have the same magic as the older titles.
Sansa just kind of forgot about the dead Starks in the crypt.

Skyward Sword is possibly the most forgettable Zelda game. I played it but remember absolutely nothing about it.

You don't remember having to fight an avocado with claw-toes an obnoxious number of times?
LOL. Having to fight that thing ten times is definitely the most memorable part of Skyward Sword. Other than that, I do really like the game. It's not among my favorites in the series, but I'd rather replay it than TotK.
Also, since I already posted about Office Space once, this popped up, is both movie and sports related, and I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it...

I'm not connecting the dots. It was such an odd reply. It's almost like she heard the question, thought it was stupid, and tried to give a rambling non-answer that also came out stupid.
