No, he is right. For a world where Dr. Manhattan was the only supernatural entity, dropping a giant space squid in the middle of New York was really out of place.


No, he isn't. I've never respected this opinion and I honestly get tired of hearing it trotted out. Especially when it's propagated by a person who also believes that a mediocre film adaptation is of overall higher quality than one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of all time.

both amazing shows though


I'm glad I'm not the only one who picked up on this. In fact, I think LoK S2's biggest weakness is that it tries too hard to emulate TLA S1 - and ends up emphasizing its worst traits, such as a flat mustache-twirling villain and an overreliance on spirit powers and deus ex machina in the climax - rather than keeping on the path S1 set and trying to be its own thing.

I'm a cartoon freak. Avatar has been recommended to me for years and I've ignored it for a long time. I recently got my hands on the series.

I gave up after a few episodes. Simply because the brother constantly protesting everything annoyed me. And I'm rarely picky about minor details like that. He ruined it for me. I'll eventually give it more time.


To echo what others have said, you're severely missing out if you're letting your first impression of Sokka drive you away from the show. I'd only put him behind Korra, Zuko, and Iroh as one of the top characters across both series.

It might be the archaic engine showing age. The gun gameplay in 3 is certainly a bit off.


3's gunplay has always been subpar; Beth bizarrely decided to dredge up the worst aspect of Morrowind in that your gun skill determines both damage and accuracy, often in spite of your personal FPS skills. There are few things more infuriating than lining up your sniper shot, watching the bullet travel into the body of your target, and still not having it register as a hit. Which of course encourages over-reliance on VATs, which is even more broken at the opposite end of the spectrum. Two things that NV fixed quite handily.

FF 9 didn't have the same magic as other entries in the series for me personally, simply because it played things too safe.

FF9 was an homage to the FF series and referenced all past FFs. FF9 is widely considered the greatest FF game of all time.


What a...revelatory post. Anyway, 6, 7 and Tactics are also 'widely regarded' as the greatest FF, depending on who you ask (if you were asking me, I'm a diehard 6 fan, and whether or not you recognize my screenname is a prime indicator of how long you've been with the series). Incidentally, I don't dislike 9, I actually love it, even if it never took me to the emotional heights that other entries did (with the exception of the Assault of the Silver Dragons scene).

Anyway, I debated whether or not to throw in that line in my original post, and even though it was fun getting in a few triggers, I shouldn't have made it because it will clearly derail the topic: this board in particular is hyper sensitive when you criticize 9. Which is kind of why I've built up a little bit of disdain for the subject; 9 is one of those technically-sound games where there's not a lot to rip into, which is why I think so many internet types have gravitated towards it: the fewer the obvious flaws, the less they have to defend their love of the game against others. Try loving 10 and then having to deal with the inevitable dipshit posting the Tidus Laughing clip every time.

I miss when stuff was weird without it being so obvious


I think that's a big reason why FF 7 and other games around that era hold such a special place in people's hearts, mine included. Games were getting just big enough to have sizable budgets and fancy graphics, but not yet such a tightly-wound industry that they couldn't afford to play it loose. FF 7 was weird, quirky, off-the-wall, took plenty of risks, and was at times very ambiguous or even confusing...at that's what made it so memorable for so many people. This is why, despite the overall tightness of its production, FF 9 didn't have the same magic as other entries in the series for me personally, simply because it played things too safe.

Anyway, as to TC's first query, it's been so long since I've played, but didn't those NPCs make sort of a drinking motion before falling down? I was always under the impression that they hit the bottle heavy and immediately passed out.

Slightly less so for Dennis Hopper, but he'd already ran out of fucks to give about twenty years prior.
