TopicIf I wanted to get into horror films, what should I watch?

ParaNorman is less horror, and not quite as good as Coraline, but it's by the same team and you'll likely enjoy it if you liked Coraline.

Yeah it is. Everyone loves to argue that it's some kind of flawless design though. The controller has no battery life because of the giant flashlight on the end of it, the usb ports are trapped between two bars, limiting their usefulness, and the cooling system is a complete embarrassment.

Why would you even have a PS4 if you don't have PlayStation plus? That's like having a computer without internet.

I mean, it is a complete waste of money, especially if you own a PC.

I personally don't think horror always needs to be about scares, so keep that in mind with my recommendations. I think most things that qualify as horror are just movies that deal with themes most people find unsettling.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
Dead Ringers
The Brood
The Fly (1986)
Eraserhead
Suspiria
The Shining
Psycho (original)
Peeping Tom
Inland Empire
Coraline
The Thing (1982)
We Need to Talk About Kevin
Jaws
Perfect Blue
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
Straw Dogs (original)
It Follows
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original)
The Wicker Man (original)
Audition (I personally don't think it's horror, but many do)
The Skin I Live In

TopicFinished Breath of the Wild.

The 4 or 5 hours I played of Breath of the Wild were pretty miserable. Granted, I was never the target audience for a game like this, but it's filled with blatantly poor design decisions right out of the gate. First of all, I spent probably 3/4 of my time wandering to get from point A to point B, having to avoid most enemies because the weapon durability system outright destroys any hopes of winning battles with higher level enemies. They just give them near endless health, and on top of that just about everything is capable of killing you in one hit in those first few hours of the game.

This forces you to grind out shrines to get more health, which means you have to wander around the open world (which I've already mentioned is way too big and a complete waste of time) This problem is compounded by the fact that your stamina depletes in seconds, forcing you to find roundabout ways to get from point A to point B in what was already an overly lengthy, padded out journey. This quickly becomes the game's biggest issue, as it forces you to choose between stamina, which will help the player waste less of their time traveling, or health, which will allow the player to survive the most basic attacks.

In short, it's easily the worst game I've played this year.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy was CN's answer to Hey Arnold minus the adults. It's solid, but I wouldn't say it's on the same level as any of the other shows CN has left. Very surprised it's fairing as well as it is right now.

I've never understood why Samurai Jack is so divisive. I expected this to be a beatdown for that reason, but in reality, Samurai Jack could very well be in the top 5 animated TV shows of all time.

the only way to stop racism is integration, not proposelly segregating themselves by saying 'you can't have my word'

Why would that have changed your vote? The question is which you think was better. Not vote for the show that's losing.

I would've voted for Ren and Stimpy if I'd checked the totals first. This one is really close. I love Ren and Stimpy for its complete subversion of what a kid's TV show was supposed to be. Sometimes the humor gets a bit too gross for its own good, but it's mostly great. Teen Titans is certainly the more polished show, but that's something Ren and Stimpy never really aimed to be.
