Might check that Bubblegum thing out after I get finished watching Punch Drunk Love. I wonder if my laptop could run Infiniti with the graphics options and such turned down. I really have no idea, though.
I know, my point was that film criticism isn't always like that, so maybe they just didn't have the same opinion here, and it wasn't something that permeated all of film criticism; then I jokingly brought up the fact a lot of reviews for that movie were basically criticising the audience for being amoral automatons, which is more in agreement with the point you were making.
I really loved the first Kick-Ass and it was critically acclaimed (77% RT score, certified fresh) for pretty much every reason you just mentioned, so I don't see what you're getting at, and I quite enjoy my film reviews. I mean most of the negative reviews for that one were about how it was morally and ethically wrong for a little girl to be kicking so much ass and shame on you for ... yeah, I see your point.
Closest would be Solid Snake, but honestly it's not something I've paid much attention to in games, and I don't know if I'm only saying that cause he simply had more scenes of dialogue than most characters in games I've played. Honestly, I think I might even say it's tied between him and Sly Cooper for me.
I think this is a bit difficult to answer because I'm so much more of an action/adventure etc. guy than an RPG guy.
I was never into pirates as a kid, but I do think it would be fun to play one in a video game.
Yeah, I couldn't find that song either. I've been listening to "Lightning Crashes" by Live a lot.
I didn't even get through three missions, I just kind of wandered and killed things.
Yeah, I realize now it was actually the first one that bored the crap out of me when I played it at a friend's house. He was downloading this one last I visited. I would not mind traveling to Italy.
Can't really disagree with any of that. I actually deleted my .exe files of the Sonic trilogy when I learned they were being legitimately sold on Steam for a not-awful price. But then I never ended up buying them, I just erased the emulations from my hard drive cause my "bargain bin doesn't help the creators" excuse was invalidated, so they honestly did not lose money either way.
That's similar to how I feel. If the only place I could find something is in an obscure bargain bin where the money would not go to the creators anyway, then screw it. However, if I can support someone by buying a product, I will if I can. Meaning I'll either buy it or go without.
