I know some of you all have gotten a chance to watch this... seems like right up most of our alleys. Plus it's a more refreshing new take on super heroes.

So what have you all thought about it? I still have yet to see Season 2... really need to catch up with that.

The thought crossed my mind to send this over to the Horror section, but since this is a show I figured it might be best here. Having said that...

I saw this one on Netflix a few times a while back and didn't really think much of it... I just sort of glossed it over until I actually hovered over the thumbnail one day and boy was I surprised! And one of the best parts is that the dubbing is actually really good, too.

Essentially, if you haven't a clue what this is- feudal zombie apocalypse Korea. That pretty much sums up the description as concise as possible, and it works!

At first I thought it was just a mini series- then I noticed that it had a second season. And now I can't wait to see when/if the third will come out!

Has anyone given this show a shot before?

I have to admit I'm not at all really big on anime but this was a show I was tipped off to a few years back. After some coaxing gave it a shot and thought it was pretty good. And now it's on Netflix! Kind of hard not to come up with a reason to watch it, eventually.

The show itself is fairly old now, and has even gotten a spin off (which I haven't had a chance to watch yet) that is also apparently fairly good.

Certainly much better than the movie- fact.

Been a few months since I posted a damn thing... I really ought to work on that. Seems like every time I get the opportunity to post at all I get sidetracked with other stuff and then it gets swept to the back of my mind.

So how's this lovely plague been affecting everyone? I suppose that's topical.

Anyone planning on getting anything good?

Well now that season two has come and gone- has anyone had a chance to watch it? What'd you all think?

I was finally able to finish it off yesterday. I'd say they did a really good job once again... at least on par with the first season. And apparently they're for sure going to do a third season that will ideally culminate in a season four or five series finale. Good news all around, in my opinion.

I ended up seeing this on opening night. I liked it quite a bit, though I thought that the "bad guys" were a bit nonsensical. I suppose I also could have done with less teen drama and more Spiderman action, but I can understand why they did it that way.

Anyone else get a chance to see it yet? What'd you think?

     

Title pretty much says it. Since we've gotten a very slight bump in activity lately (over the past month, or two?) might as well try and keep that going.

What's been going on since the last time you were all really active here. It's been years, pretty much, so I'd imagine that there's been at least a few big changes.

Where's everyone at?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. But has anyone seen the new Iron Man movie yet? It'd be pretty late in the game to have not seen it by now, but you never know.

I thought it was pretty good, but there were quite a few plot points that bugged the hell out of me. Small things, but they pretty much blew a lot of the story wide open if you had any common sense at all. Watched a Spoony review about it the other day that pretty much reaffirmed my thoughts on that stuff. It was still really entertaining though, and Robert Downey Jr. did excellent, like usual.

Surprised no one has really brought up this game in it's own thread. But I'm a bit curious now, considering that they have some new DLC out. How many of you have bought, or at least played Far Cry 3?

Ended up buying and finishing it a few months back in like 3-4 days... not because it was short, but because I was just too into it while I was playing it. A pretty fun game, as far as shooters go. The story was good, and Vaas is probably one of the coolest video game villains in a while.

I even got hooked into playing the poker games they have on the island.

So I ended up getting a peek at this thing the other day. Bleh. But I figure it's something to talk about, at least... if anyone else has seen it.

It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be... it did have some funny parts to it. It still wasn't good, though. The power of love saves the human race... no thanks.

Also, I decided to slide this into Other Movies since it literally has nothing to do with horror, outside of zombies.

So I was driving home from work today. It's been really cold and rainy all day. Well... long story short I think I just saw a car drive past covered in snow.

Is Hell finally freezing over?

Apparently there is news that the pope is going to be resigning this month on the 28th. The first one to do that in six centuries, apparently. Not sure if anyone actually cares, I know I don't... but it is still some pretty interesting news. Why do you all think that is? Just because of age like everyone is mentioning, or maybe because of all the drama that has been going on the past few years with priests and their followers?

My guess is probably some sort of acombination of the two... with the way that he handled all those crimes, along with his age, he's probably just too tired to deal with other peoples' crap anymore.

Anyone see the new movie out, Hansel and Gretel? I thought it was pretty fun. Plenty of action, funny moments, and the story it self wasn't all that bad. Seemed like it was just a fun movie to watch... something not to take too seriously.

What are games that you still want to play but haven't had a chance to/haven't bought yet/haven't finished? Keep in mind, we're strictly talking about games that have already come out.

It's odd for me, because some of the games are games that I want to play, but refuse to for whatever reason:
LA Noire: I own it. I've played it. I just haven't gotten around to finishing it. It's on my list of things to do.

Skyrim: I've been curious to play it but haven't for two reasons. One- the world is so fucking huge, yet doesn't give multiplayer to have friends join (makes me think they did this on purpose to get people hooked for their Elder Scrolls MMO). And two- for some reason I just wasn't as hyped as everyone else when it actually released, even now, I want to give it a chance not because I'm hyped for it, but because I'm just a bit curious. I doubt I'd ever actually play it.

Mass Effect series: This is a game that, on the hole, I have absolutely no problems with. I've watched friends play it and it looks really good. My problem is I simply refuse to touch anything that EA sticks their fingers into. Simply a matter of principle.

FEAR III: I've seen play throughs of it, and while I agree that the plot is kind of 'meh' I've always loved the combat system in FEAR. The enemy AI is just so good compared to most other games I've seen.

That is pretty much all I can think of from the past few years. Every other game that I can think of that's caught my interest I already own or have at least finished it.

Anyone else see this movie? I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of action, drama, funny moments, etc. The acting was pretty good too... don't think I saw one bad scene in the movie. 

To be honest when my friends and I were going over there I was thinking that it was going to end up with a good chunk of it revolving around Gosling and Stone's lovey dovey relationship... but it really didn't add too much of that into the story that needed to be.

Also, surprised how well those prosthetics came out on Penn. Turned out really good.

Okay, so pretty much anyone that plays video games on a regular basis knows what Steam is. The question now is, do any of you guys use it?

It seems like most of the video games we talk about reference consoles, so I'm just kind of curious to see if there is anyone from here that uses it. Hell, if anyone does I'd add them.
