I think it definitely holds up, but this is also coming from the guy who played Fallout 1 for the first time 10 years after it was released and still thought it was one of the greatest games ever. If you can appreciate art-style and story instead of modern graphics and streamlined gameplay then absolutely yes.
I am extremely pleased to learn I am not the only one to prefer Batman Begins to the Dark Knight. For the longest time I thought I was alone in my opinion. That said though, I feel like The Dark Knight is much more of an accomplishment. It is extremely easy to make a good film based on an origin story, like Batman Begins. It is easy to give the audience more of what the want, i.e. Batman kicking ass. It is much harder, however, to give that the same emotional impact as the origin story. I feel The Dark Knight was one of the few sequels to do this.
Honestly, I think the fact that TDK was Nolan's first sequel helped him greatly. Since every project he has done previously had been an original, each film project he was forced to direct in many different directions while still keeping the atmosphere I love about his films. The similarities (and differences) of The Following and Memento come to mind. I think that helped the creation of TDK because he was familiar with the practice of new material on every project while keeping common moods and tones.
My biggest concern about TDKR is it will fall into the Spider-man 3 syndrom of trying to do too much. Spider-man 3 was coming off the what I consider one of the best comic book films ever and it had a lot to live up to. Unfortunately, I feel the direction of 100 different bad guys and many meaningless twists sort of burned me out. None of the action or the drama seemed focused so all of it was much less impactful. That said, I have more confidence in Nolan and Sam to do anything, despite my love for Drag Me to Hell and the Evil Dead.
Back to the poll, I voted B. I thought the films were fantastic, but they don't have a chance of being in my top 25.
Hey guys. I had a question about testing hardware. For a good while now, I've had all my PC games crash the computer to reboot whenever I'll play them. I don't believe this is a driver or software issue, as I've reformated multiple times (over the course of almost 2 years now) to try and fix the issue without any success. I've ran memtest to check if my ram was good and I had no error. How do I go about checking other components?
Note: My computer has never crashed while not running games.
Here are my specs, although I'm not sure it is needed. P5B Deluxe Motherboard, Core 2 Duo 6400 @ 2.13, 2gb of DDR2 RAM, and a Radeon X1950X with 512 mb, and a 750 watt power supply. This computer was built in late 2006. I've only changed 1 thing, and that was a 7900GT NVidia card that failed.
