More Vita time, I celebrate 33 years with sleep and give Halo 4 another chance

Thanks! I still own Reach if I'm feeling nostalgic (I always liked how they handled the Anniversary Maps) or just want some Firefight action.

Thanks!

Oh, I'm a big fan of Wrath of Kahn. Some people think Into Darkness rips if off and I disagree. There are some moments that echo Wrath of Kahn but events transpire differently and not all of the themes of that film were carried over. I think Star Trek: Nemesis rips of Wrath of Kahn big time but without good writing, characters or direction and it's a poorer film for it.

It is the difference between The Godfather Part 1 and Part 2, between Inglorious Basterds and Triumph of the Will and between Just Cause 2 and JFK Reloaded. In the former examples, the audience can get behind the anti-heroes depicted for whatever reason and condone their admittedly awful actions, but in the latter group, the subject matter or the protagonist's morals are skewed too far from the norm to be comfortably witnessed.

Being a film nut, of course I'm going to cry about this but it stuck out like a sore thumb. There's so much wrong here. I can't speak for the games but this fucking doofus has never watched the films he mentioned or he's misinterpreted them. You can identify with characters that kill, maim and lie in one film (and "condone" those actions) but not the other? The fuck? Part 2 didn't make for a feel-good experience? It wasn't supposed to! That's the whole fucking point!

Good call to compare a Tarantino film (fictional) to an actual Nazi propaganda film, too.

In case you were wondering about VITA 2.

The weight and the balance of the Vita makes a difference for me. It feels just right. It also serves as a reminder to respect and take care of the damn thing.

It's a good thing you post about these because I always forget.

I used the manual to find the card slot. I'm old-fashioned that way, especially when dealing wtih hardware for the first time. The OLED screen is amazing. When I'm not gaming, I watch Netflix or Youtube videos in bed till I fall asleep and the video quality is beautiful.

It's pathetic.That game still retails at Walmart for $40. Why, why, why?

Nice. The only bundle that was available when I bought one (back in December, pre-Christmas week) was the Call of Duty/Wi-Fi bundle. I sold the horrible COD game but the system itself is wonderful and I don't regret the purchase. I use it everyday.
