The Tiny Tina DLC sounds awesome and I'll get it in a couple of days (payday).

I think the current gen models will still receive support for the next 2-3 years. Their install base is too high and both companies know that. It'll happen eventually but not as quick as MS did with the first Xbox.

It does and my brother played for a time but his interest waned and he played other things. It helped if you could find some like-minded people (actually, IT ALWAYS HELPS).

Somehow I skipped 2. When I participated in Halo CE LAN parties in college (neither my brother or I owned an Xbox so we mooched off of other friends), we stuck with that game and when Halo 2 arrived, it felt like such a drastic change in some ways. By that point, the LAN parties didn't happen as much and my friends and I were near the end of our time in college. I still own a copy of 2 but I've yet to play the campaign.

I love 3. So many great memories. Yes, you'd meet some of the worst-behaved cretins sometimes but the group of friends I played with are awesome and hilarious. They'd make me laugh so hard during a match that I couldn't focus and would die too much. And we'd all gang up on those trolls. Good times.

I've never played Body Harvest but those other two are great.

As you posted, if Microsoft explained just once how their policies would benefit the gamer (which they never did), they wouldn't have the PR quagmire right now. Either it was too convoluted a system to explain or they never knew what they had.

And hopefully Luthor's plan doesn't involve real estate.

You mean the one Superman doesn't wear the suit, doesn't fly and fights with a giant spider? Yeah, good luck with that.

We're not arguing. We're just having a discussion. I don't want to be a shmuck and simply declare "OMFG, YOU'RE WRONG!!!" with someone that disagrees with me. That's not why I blogged about it. I do think the different interpretations are fascinating, though. On that note...

Supes was clearly shaken up when he embraces Lois after his fight with Zod. At the end, clearly some time had passed and he's been able to move on but I do think the events here will come back to haunt him just like they did for Batman with The Dark Knight Trilogy. The poor guy had never used his powers in a fight and when he has too, he's got multiple opponents as strong as he is and he's not in complete control as he will be later on. I'm not denying the amount of damage and the implied/unconfirmed loss of life; it happened and that was the logical result of a conflict that extreme between superpowered beings, only one of which wanted to protect and live among humans. You can argue that Snyder piled on the carnage way too thick but if you're fighting in populated areas, collateral damage is going to happen. I've read some reactions that accused this film and Snyder of being morally irresponsible in that regard. Nope. Bad Boys II is morally irresponsible. Entertaining movie but just disgusting all the same.

There's just no way to be neutral with this movie; you either love it or hate it. The attempted genocide was horrifying as it should have been and the choice Superman makes at the end really shattered him. Both of these events will haunt this character in future films but I think they will be things he'll learn from. In this movie, he's just starting out and everything is a trial-by-fire. I like the different direction. I think there were plenty of humorous moments and lots of heart. Oh, well.
