Out of the Blue

Actual quote from a current full-budget television ad: "Nothing says happy holidays quite like the word 'duh.'" Okay, there's either something I don't understand about the holidays, or there's something I don't understand about the word "duh." The ad is from Hyundai, so maybe it's just that duh means "season greetings" in Korean?

The cartoon was the same way. Cringe inducing...

At least the game port will be easy, since the racing portions of the movie look like they were created with the Unreal 3 engine...

qúUmm... apparently it's gone )q

I was able to see it again, this time with sound.

I have to saz, WHAT THE F*** was with Emile Hirsche's voice? Speed was not a soft-spoken mamby-pamby.

Eh, just lowers my desire to see the movie that much more... not that it was ever really anywhere near the level of "OMGIWANNASEEITWTFBBQ!!!11!"

Agreed... Looks like another FF4 or Lost in Space, but somehow worse.

The car looks kinda neat, but I'm not going to pay $10+ at the theatre to see that and a thin, poorly-done wrapper of a plot...

but when I check in the evening... BAM.

Indeed. I frequent the board to read news, yes; but, I post more often in the afternoon/evenings.

Not that I have much to contribute with regard to gaming in particular these days, though.

On another note, snow's coming down here nicely.. it'll be fun driving home with all this soon-to-be slush.

EDIT: Just saw the Speed Racer trailer. I really hope they don't have that background "ramping" effect behind the characters in the movie, as they show in the preview. It works in the 'toons, but not in live-action for me. Too corny, even for Speed Racer... *ducks*

What the hell man!?

Do we have that large of a college base that everyone is back home for the holidays and no on is online?

I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I've been noticing more and more, that the OotB threads don't get many posts until the evenings Eastern-Standard-Time. Lately when I check during the day I hardly see any posts, but when I check in the evening... BAM.

I was watching it without sound at first and thought "that was easy" I didnt understand the difficulty (and yes I did notice "it" but didnt think anything of it).

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
