Actually, I'm a HUGE cinema fan. Used to go all the time. It's because I'm a huge cinema fan that I can't stand theaters anymore. That's the painful thing about it.
It's also the reason I funneled the money I would spend in movie tickets to a decent home theater. I get the full surround experience.
And lately the wife and I have been putting up a few extra bucks and going to (gasp) live theater. It's amazing how even community theater has better acting than most Hollywood flicks. Well, maybe not amazing, but just plain sad.
While I'm interested in seeing the film, my wife and I just can't swallow the wretched ticket prices when, for cost of two admissions, we can OWN THE DVD. Not rent, own. And that's not even factoring in gas or babysitting costs.
Add to that the cost of consessions and the sheer rudeness of humanity (talking to your neighbor, talking on your cellphone, text messaging, kicking the back of my chair) I'm just not interested in going to see a film on the big screen.
So, am I going to shell out big bucks to watch commercials, listen to other people's conversations, and then sit through a B-grade flick? Hell no.
Concerns over real-money trading prompted the Japanese government--particularly worried about large-scale money-mining operations in video games--to launch its own investigation last week.
It's bad enough that people don't RTFA, but skipping the summary? Damn.
Actually I'd much rather play Lazer Tag for hours on end than play any multiplayer FPS.
Admittedly Lazer Tag and Paintball can be cost prohibitive, whereas a football/basketball/soccer ball costs very little and you need only one for entire group of people. Frankly I find it disturbing to see these obese kids (and adults) sitting on their fat asses playing simulated sports when it wouldn't kill them (or even save their lives) to go outside and play the real thing.
As a parent I make damn sure the TV goes off after an hour or two (gaming or otherwise) and my kids go play outside.
I also cut off TV if they haven't read at least a 1/2 hour a day, but that's a different issue altogether.
On one hand I could care less about his political motivations. He's kicking @ss and taking names in a world where little is being done about corporate corruption and naked greed.
On the other, he may be playing the "man of the people" to move up into higher office.
Of course, I don't live in New York so as long as he's working over "the man" more power to him!

Hell, no.
Penny Arcade says it best.
That would be bad spelling, not bad grammar.
Mike Judge is wrong. The idiocracy is now, not in 500 years.
More predators, less victims.
FEWER victims. Sorry, it's just so painful to read bad grammar.
There's no such thing as a language called 'Belgian.'
/.er's grasp on geography AND foreign languages.
They speak Dutch (Flemish), French, and German.
I sometimes wonder about the average

I fail to see why this is an age issue?
I remember being irritated with rude people in the theater when I was a teen. Of course back then, polite people outnumbered the rude ones.

Yeah, made out to your lawyer.
A system crash would give new meaning to "Blue Screen of Death."
All the money the publishers save by downsizing E3 will surely be passed along to the consumers by way of lower game prices. Right?
Well, get yourself a login and use Preferences > Homepage, disable "Backslash" and quit whining.

Whatever happened to chaos?
Pfft. Chaos is so predictable.

That's right! DO NOT re-elect Senator USS Nimitz!
Methinks he meant to go here. At least, I hope he did.
Thanks! :D

I'd say maybe some typing, spelling, and proofreading skills to start.
Actually, that just shows they have too much confidence. If they weren't so cocky, they'd be wary of publishing the same crap over and over again.
The problem with crap sequels is that people buy them! Next time junior wants Madden 200X, smack him and then get him a real game!
From TFA: NASA representatives in Russia could not be reached for comment on the case.
However a loud roar of laughter could be hear for miles.
I've been struggling with stupid gits for years now. (Da-dum-dum). Thank you! I'll be here all week.

Good luck finding a copy. It's pretty old. Amazon has one used copy, $68. Yikes.
"Non-illegal?" Is that the same as "legal?"
