and Cock fighting is violent too. the whole game is about catching animals and making them fight other animals... so really, if games influenced kids, we'd see animals stuck in balls being thrown around to fight other animals in balls.
"Why do I have to surf through multiple levels menus just to watch a film? Shouldn't pressing the 'play' button be enough?"
All I usually do is push my "audio" and "subtitles" buttons during the movie. On nearly every DVD I have, these buttons scroll through all audio tracks and subtitles... I don't know if every player has these, but they work just fine on mine. Plus, my player's menu has default language settings. I CAN tell it to play the French audio track on everything, with Japanese subtitles (or whatever) by default. It'll even show the menus on the DVD in your desired language, assuming they're on the disc of course.
Just a cheapo APEX player... plays everything I can throw at it, even nonstandard resolutions and bitrates, flawless SVCD playback... even mpeg and vob videos burnt to a regular cd, not even with any sort of special formatting (VCD/SVCD/etc). mp3... jpg pictures... menus that remember your language settings... handles subdirectories... it's even got a disc changer, which is wonderful for multi-disc VCD/SVCD movies, or you can just leave some mp3 discs in there (10+ albums per disc kills regular cds just on convienience factor) and leave a slot open for movies.
It completely slaughters most friend's players in almost every way, which they spent lots and lots more money on than me.
I've got a cheap $200 stereo with a 5.1 decoder, this all came with speakers and everything, not the best, but it sounds great in a bedroom... plus I even made one of those fresnel lens projectors, so if I want to mess with focusing the thing, I even have an enormous screen. My cheap setup blows away a lot of other people's, and even really impresses them most of the time.
Now that I've rambled far too much.. the lesson is... try the cheaper players, they just might have the features you're looking for.
It shouldn't matter one bit what you download. You don't have to like what I do, and I don't have to like what you do. If someone pays for unlimited internet access, then that's that, end of story. Bob down the street can play Quake all day long online, Jim can download movies 24/7, and you can read all the webpages you want, or whatever. People pay for unlimited service, so don't worry about what they're doing. If you paid for unlimited service, use it if you want to!
Spend some of that porn time on socializing with real live women and you may find an upgrade to porn. Yes yes, I know that sounds crazy, but there are things above and beyond porn.. try 'em out, they're way more fun.

These people should be required to go play Ultima, or Dragon Warrior, where you can't go anywhere without leveling up. Kids these days.. they have pointy clicky things all over the place and don't know what command lines are, and now they don't even need to level up.
Bleh. What's the point? Especially with Apollo 13? I guess they think they need to try to cater to EVERYONE which as we all know, means making everything suck. Just look at network tv.

FIX HIS HELMET!
And hopefully there's more than just one semi-lame "X-Men mission" at the end, with the rest of the movie having characters totally in the wrong point in the timeline tooling around looking for reasons to cause special effects.
And please... Toad sucks, you really can do better this time. Please?
More like OVERrated. Nobody else got a fancy air filter for their eyes. Looks like he's the big man on the ship to me with his fancy filter. No dust in HIS eyes!
...when someone started using lines from movies... and it was a bad movie.. and one that people quote all the time... removing comedic value from it... like totally!

that's not really that funny.
you're thinking of that seizure inducing pokemon cartoon

Absolutely, just like Napster! Napster's pay service is now so popular, I don't know if this one would be able to compete!

Scared Gerbil, I chose you!
Sick looking bunny Rabbit, go!
Bob's Pitbull, I chose you!
and so on.

That doesn't matter, do you think they even listen to them?
Actually giving the cds to reviewers is just a formality, they're paid to give certain reviews well in advance.
