Off-Topic » Which team from the English Premier League should I become a fan of?

@Wolverine: If I were picking a team, I probably wouldn't go for one of the big 4. I'm a United fan cus my dad is, but there's often an assumption from other football fans that you must be a glory-hunter if you like one of those teams you've mentioned. You got any particular favourite player/group of players? Or like the way a certain team play?

Did you see it live? I'm listening to it on 5 Live, they said it looked like another horror break...Sounds like really unfortunate injury, and for an Arsenal player again. "
Yea. I seen it live. Only really seen the consequence of the tackle. Will have to wait until MOTD to see the close up.  Very unfortunate. "
Sounds nasty, I remember the BBC were pretty reluctant to show the Eduardo incident on MOTD, but I expect they will with this one. Shawcross was apparently crying after? (listening to an Arsenal fan on 5L claiming it was completely intentional?!)

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves » Multiplayer Worth Going Back To?

I don't have a permanent net connection for my ps3, so I don't get to play as much U2 I as would like, so I'm still only around lv 15, however, the times I have dropped in for a game, I didn't notice that it was too much of an issue. Though I guess you could say I'm probably a bit more casual about the whole thing than most, so you may have a difference experience. One thing I noticed last time though, was that it took a bit longer to get into a game...could just be me though

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves » Second platinum trophy (Blog post)

Uncharted 2 was my first, quickly followed by Ratchet, which I thought was significantly easier (still really enjoyable)

" Sol to Arsenal and Maxi Rodriguez to Liverpool arent really settin the world on fire.  Has anybody else heard the story of Chamakh signing with Liverpool this summer?  It would be a steal from Arsenal but I dont think hes anything special.  Sort of the Huntelaar of France, where he'll probably just be decent in a better league.  "
Campbell is...I dunno, a stop-gap? Cant really see him playing all that much, but hey he cost nothing so its not a huge gamble. I was actually really surprised by Maxi Rodriguez going for only £1.5m. Granted, last time I saw him play a full game was in WC06, but he seemed to be quality then. You seem to know a bit about Chamakh (I've never seen him play), but could he potentially be a good deal? The papers were suggesting a fee of £25m, which is stupidly high for a player whose contract is out in the summer...  

@MattyFTM:  Caught the game on the radio, great result (reduces the embaressment of the Leeds game slightly). Liverpool's season is really going from bad to worse though. Realistically they only have one trophy to go for now, but the way theyre playing, Im not convinced they'll manage that. Rafa's got to go, right?

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves » Frustratingly cheap or a worthy addition to the difficulty? *NPC Chokers*

I think theyre a good idea - mixes things up a little. The only bad situation that came from it was when I was playing with someone who clearly didn't know the controls, and so would come right up to me to free/revive me, but not actually do anything....soooo frustrating.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves » Hype can kill a thing (Blog post)

Im really not a big fan of stealth gameplay, but I actually thought they handled it pretty well. It acted as a nice variation and it wasnt too difficult. I certainly wouldnt describe it as 'a mess' or suggest that Naughty Dog should be 'ashamed' because of it....its not like its broken

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves » steel fist combo possible glitch/bug

Maybe Im misunderstanding your post, but heres what I think you mean. You can only get a trophy once per user. If you have multiple user accounts on your ps3, then you can unlock it once for each account. So if you have multiple game saves in one user account, you can unlock the medal once in each game save, but you will only ever get 1 trophy - for the first time you do it.

" Let's just leave the thread, everyone. It's obvious quezen is a complete moron who knows absolutely nothing about game development and refuses to listen to facts. He likes to say that people are making up stuff without knowing what they're talking about, but that is exactly what he is doing. It's a waste of time to try and correct his ignorance. "
Agreed.

Off-Topic » Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas?

I'd just say Merry Christmas. Its never been a problem with anyone I've met before. In reality, are there that many people who get genuinely offended by it, or is it just one of these 'you have to be politically correct' things?

" Should I watch it in 3D, IMAX, IMAX 3D, or just normally? "
I saw it in (normal) 3D. I've never been that impressed by 3D in any film, this doesnt change my opinion at all. I've seen other people on these forums saying the IMAX 3D is incredible, so my guess is that that would be the one to go for. To be honest, the visuals are so amazing that I think it would still be stunning in regular 2D

Off-Topic » Thoughts about escalation in Batman 3 (Blog post)

Johnny Depp seems to be the favourite for the role of the Riddler, but David Tennant has also been mentioned. Im not really a massive Doctor Who fan, but Tennant is an excellent actor, and could probably do a good job, even if he doesnt have the same box office draw

Off-Topic » Should CGI movies aim for photo-realism?

@L4wz said:
" @FalseDeity said:
" I'm kinda vague on the question here. When have they NOT been striving for photo-realism? Rome wasn't built in a day. "
Almost every CGI movie that's released have purposely made blocky and cartoony character models and scenery. "
What about Beowulf? I never saw it, but seem to remember it had some crazy-realistic CGI going on. Maybe thats what youre referring to in the OP. But Im not sure if photorealistic graphics are really all that useful, like Pixar use the medium to create a certain type of humour that would be hard (or impossible) to re-create in real life. If the film maker was going for hyper-realism, what would the point be, as they could just use real actors at that point...if that makes sense.

To be honest, I find a few of those criticisms valid, I certainly wouldnt describe them as unfair.

Off-Topic » Saw Avatar at IMAX 3D (Times Square, Manhattan)

Saw it last night and enjoyed it a lot. For me the best part of it was the world that they created, it looks absolutely amazing. It did have some minor problems though - the story is a bit generic, and I felt it was too long, but otherwise an excellent film
