What is this "MechWarrior" you speak of? Is this the new expansion for the Sims? ...okay, actually I'd buy that expansion.

You can do that, the onscreen guide is just a little confusing. Hitting "Y" toggles between the spawn closest to your squad/battle or self-select. Then you can use the left stick to change class and the right stick to change flag.

And mech suits make a small appearance in that also, so they were somewhat expected. I doubt this is going to be "Robot Jocks 2: Roll Out" or anything.

I can't state my impressions much better than what Antipop already said. It feels very much like the essence of BF42 boiled down and concentrated, with none of the technical problems or limitations that plagued that game. Sure most of the maps and other bits have been taken out, but what they...

Battlefield 1943 was released (possibly early?) earlier today. At the moment it seems to have been taken down again though, since it immediately maxed out all the servers allocated to it. I'll keep trying to get on throughout the day.

New, full-length trailer just posted: http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/07/08/must-watch-awesome-new-full-length-district-9-trailer/ It looks really impressive, and it's tough to tell just how much of the movie is action. What is in the trailer is great, but knowing Blomkamp it may be a slower...

Thems fightin' words. (But really, you got to at least give it up for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Oh, and he's got 4 Oscars to boot.)

I usually go for the ones that have all three of them on the track, fortunately that's most of the bigtime movies anyway. Loved the one with Transformers, but a lot of alcohol was involved so that might have just been me.

The Ayatollah Begs to Differ Obviously I went looking for something on modern Iran due to the events taking place there right now, but I'm still not sure I could have done better than this. A very honest and very frank look at Iranian society as seen by an Iranian during his trips back. The...

Waltz With Bashir: This is a tough movie to rate, since it's barely a film in some ways, and in others it deserves more praise than I can give it. It's animated, because no footage exists for the stories being told, and most of the people telling their stories are the men who were present...

Haha, that's actually from a commercial if I recall correctly. Something about identity theft and being "invisible" I think.

There were a lot of hopes of BG&E2 getting unveiled at E3, unfortunately it never materialized. It's also important to keep in mind that BG&E was released in 2003. I was still in high school, playing Day of Defeat and BF1942, and getting into Led Zepplin. Suffice it to say both I, and...

City of Thieves: http://www.amazon.com/City-Thieves-Novel-David-Benioff/dp/0670018708 An interesting take on WWII Russian historical fiction. Written in a very western manner, with scenes moving quickly and dialogue that is often punchy and quick, but taking place in the horrors of WWII...

I always like these threads on the basis of how they're like psychological test-cases. Most of the movies that people dislike so strongly seem to fall into a few basic categories, and what is often cited as their problems will be cited as others as their strengths.

Some of those idiosyncrasies are actually why Sunshine has stuck in my mind, and I can still enjoy watching it. It's a movie with a lot of detail, so I found seeing it multiple times and trying to looks for answers to some of the stranger stuff in the film to be pretty rewarding. Knowing how...

I actually had a Delorean overtake me on the road today doing about 20 over the speed limit. Best thing? License plate was "DLOREAN".

I remember that I somehow survived that entire sequence on my first time through, it was terrifying.

Willem Dafoe and a crossbow are enough to sell me on anything. Also, should I point out that Sam Neill was in Jurassic Park III and Event Horizon? Event Horizon has it's charms, but being a work of art isn't one of them. I Am Legend spoilers:

I know the last one is concept art, because it's shown up posted before, and I imagine the first two are also concepts, since they've refused to show a single frame of film.

Okay, that was waaay funnier than it should have been. Whoever did those has some great timing.
