I wasn't aware the third game was on GCN ... I don't see that the Trilogy is, either. 

I got Madness Returns for a similar price on Steam. What's a quop?

I loved going to the grocery store and picking up EGM every month and looking at a bunch of games I wanted to play, but weren't in my future, simply because I so loved the personality of the mag's writing style. 

I will most remember the mags that came out during the Gamecube era. I loved when Shoe was Editor, had a lot of gaming tastes in common with Milky, and it was funny how they'd rag on Shane Bettenhausen for being a Sony fanboy. I really liked how reviews of the same game would contain joking references to each other, like you were reading an actual conversation, but with more with than can often be mustered in a live-on-tape setting like multiple reviewers have online now. I also really liked Seanbaby and some of the cartoons in the back I can't remember the names of. I really liked some of the sarcastic responses to reader mail, though I felt once Milky was Editor, some got a bit too mean-spirited. 

I just wish that terrible Wolverine cover wasn't the last one I got in the mail, aside from the Call of Juarez cover when they decided to reboot. Is there a way to order that SFIV cover online, the one after the awful Wolvie one? I always wished their prime era could have ended there instead, and if I get a copy, I can pretend it did.

Dammit, I want cake.

Played Terraway on a Vita at Gamestop the other day, and the gyroscope tech made me really wanna try Gravity Rush. 

That shit's too cute for Monday. 

Considering I wrote a fifteen-page APA style paper with around 25 or so sources for a Master's course, I don't think I actually have ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), but I do get distracted when I have a lot of technology and people vying for my attention at the same time.

And nah, I couldn't tell you the names of quite a few other cast members. Hate to say it, but I remember him specifically cause I don't like him that much. No, that's not right, he seems nice. I mean I didn't like his SNL skits that much. There we go.

Definitely had to go to Google to know how to spell his name, though. I thought it was Fred Amisend, cause that's how it sounds.

Gettin' warmer ... 

Yes it would (is), actually. Last Ninja 2 is referring to the game's place in the series, not the ninja himself. Just like the Super Mario Bros. in Super Mario Bros. 2 are the same Super Mario Bros.

BaD is only officially on week days. Indeed, fuck it. 

They're making a sequel to Raid:Redemption? YEEESSSSS!!! I'll never understand why Cinema Snob and co. liked Dredd better, though I dig both flicks. Funny that such similar ideas came out at such similar times. Also funny that Dredd was in production earlier than Raid, but released later. Raid was pure kinetic energy and martial art badass violence, and I can not wait! Plus it releases just five days after I turn 24? Aww, yeah!

I too look forward to LEGO movie. If anything will justify how corporate their sets have become, it's how good that movie looks. 

I've always liked Dreamworks and Pixar flicks for somewhat different reasons, but I know what you mean. I thought the first Dragon movie was decent, saw it in 3D on a date. I wasn't blown away like I was hyped to be, though. I prefer when Dreamworks says "fuck it" to trying to emulate Pixar's depth and makes something awesomely goofy like Despicable Me 1 and 2, but not something that takes it in a far too stupid direction, which I've heard Shark Tale does; never had desire to watch that one. I think I'd have enjoyed HtTYD more had it not cost $22 for myself and the date. 

Cap is not my favorite of the Marvel heroes, but I did like his pre-Avengers movie the best of the bunch, and this is so far my top movie to see in 2014. It looks amazing. 

Didn't know there were two Biblical epics out this year, but I'm down for Aaronofsky's take on Noah and Ridley Scott doing Exodus, for sure. I've had the cartoon movie Prince of Egypt (another great Dreamworks flick) in my Netflix cue just to see the amazing parting of the seas sequence I saw in the theater as a kid. 

Funny you mention Nymphomaniac, my professor mentioned today how that trailer played before a G-rated movie in Florida.  I however, will not get over Shia LeBeouf being involved. Seriously, fuck that guy. 

I loved Moonrise Kingdom, but wasn't as fond of The Fantastic Mr. Fox, though I liked it. I may check Anderson's new one out.

Actually, Mockingjay is my favorite of the series, Catching Fire my least, but CF was a much better adapted movie, I will say that. Improved on the book, in my opinion. Honestly though, all it had to do was remove the shaky cam. I still find the plot of the first book/movie much less predictable and more interesting, but oh well. It was a better movie than the first installment, if a bit of a retread (not the movie's fault, the books had the same problem). 

I've heard pretty much everyone bash Cloud Atlas for overreaching and failing to be what it wanted to be, with bad makeup, except for you and Nostalgia Chick, who loved it. I'm curious to see it for myself. I honestly don't think the makeup is that bad from what I';ve seen. I've actually only seen the second Matrix and V for Vendetta by them, I think, but I'm probably forgetting others. 

I've never liked Godzilla that much, which explains why I actually really liked the one I saw in theaters at age 8, but this new one looks intense. Definitely on my list to see in theaters. 

I need to see more of Fincher's movies. Saw Fight Club and most of Seven well after release, Social Network was favorite movie of 2010, Girl w/Dragon Tattoo was a great visual remake, and I didn't know he directed a couple House of Cards episodes, but I like him even more now. 

I still have mixed feelings about There Will Be Blood and The Master, but both were at least great movies, I'll admit. I still need to see Boogie Nights, as it's my friend Will's favorite movie, but I never seem to be able to find it. 

I'm gonna avoid MoS discussions on the Internet from now on, and you know why, but hopefully Singer doesn't pull a Returns either, and I'm confident he won't. I've never actually seen GoT, but I'm excited for Peter Dinklage as the creator of the Sentinels, a plot point I remember being a big one in the 90s cartoon I grew up watching (but honestly not liking that much, though I think I'd like it better now; it was more my older brother's thing). 

I dig Nolan's older films as well as Inception (only ever desired to see it once, though) and TDK is still my favorite superhero movie, even if I was also one that saw a lot of flaws in TDKR (though I still really liked it). I'm excited.

Finally, I liked the first Hobbit movie more than most critics, but hot damn, I loved the action-packed second installment! To be honest, I've always watched these movies 20% for plot and characters etc., 80% for Jackson's action directing and massive battles, and holy crap, that scene in the Elf forest kingdom is one of the best uses of a tracking shot and editing and kills I've ever seen! The rest of the movie was great too, and having actually read The Hobbit all the way through and enjoyed it, I'm more invested in these characters and the plot, and I'm starting to like the added bits about what Gandalf was doing away from the group that I guess are from The Simarillion. Not sure how they'll do the third one in a balanced way, though, there wouldn't be a whole lot of pages left at this point in the book and all that's really left outside of whatever's from The Simarillion they've added is ... I won't spoil it. 

I concur with Cary's Muppets suggestion. Please don't make a blog this long about a topic like movies I'm so interested in again. I'm exhausted. And apologies for blog in a blog. Good Lord, you'd think I'd get enough of writing as a Master's student. lol
