some things are better left unexplained. in this particular case, those which have no explanation other than to look fucking cool ;p

i actually think it's an accurate example of what tronyn was arguing for with games like quake; it doesn't make sense, it doesn't abide by any rules of physics or logic but it looks awesome and enhances the atmosphere. how many void maps are there that just float without any explanation? or waterfalls in maps without rain or mountains.. etc

plus i don't think they were that out of character with the rest of the film. none of it is exactly realistic 

Well I sort of agree with Sleepy, the flying rock thing just kind of threw me out of it. I can buy an ecosystem where organisms have evolved some kind of USB hub to communicate with each other or whatever, and forests of memories and what not, but the floating rock islands could have been really high cliffs and it would have made a lot more sense/been more believable.

Also, unobtainium. w t f 

i actually didn't mind the floating islands per se. i thought it looked quite badass. but the waterfalls just made no sense.
you can sort of imagine that it's the unobtanium that has some kind of special property that makes things float. maybe that's why earth needs it so bad. but how is water being pumped up to those islands to fall down in such large quantities??

also, i hate it when movie dudes think they are being clever using joke terms as actual stuff in their films.

besides, unobtanium was already used as a joke in 'the core'. at least in that one, the material in question actually did have a name, but it was nicknamed unobtanium (and the other characters laugh as though they know it's silly).

in avatar, everyone says it like it's serious business which just ended up looking silly. 

you guys will say that minecraft is unrealistic...

Twice twenty, you whippersnappers! Go Quake! 

 

My friends are all sat in a tiny bachelor pad, squatting over an xBox360, playing CODBLOPS. Two of them just came with me to the kebab shop to get a plain cheeseburger and chips ~(approx 200yds from bachelor pad).

I just bobbed round to my house to grab a box of Stella Artois and finish my burger. Friday night -woooo!!!!

Confined spaces and CODLOPS. The thing is that when I got there in the first place he they were playing the zombie manse level, and they re still playing it now. And the entire Slayer discography was queued on a PC, and is still going strong :S 

sounds like a fun night... was the Stella because of the Slayer, or vice versa? 

They were. Stella just because it is, and Slayer just because they were. And tonight just because its Friday etc. TBH I honestly think its just because thats what we always do. Im no alcoholic, but i get drunk every Friday night :D Almost. Very occasional exceptions, and I often drink on Saturday night TBF. But Sun - Thur = school nights. Cant get drunk on a school night. 

 

1- writing a paper
2- drinking a Colt 45
3- listening to slayer.
4- not actually writing my paper, at all, anymore. 

I would very much like to hear a drunk brit say the word 'kebab' - if it's nearly as funny as when a kiwi says it it will be hilarious.

That seems like such an American thing to do :( 

I asked because of the back cover of Reign In Blood:

... We had a dinner with friends in order to prepare our X-mas dinner, as we decided to celebrate X-mas together (both family will not move this year...).
It turned right, but we had 4 bottles of wine (1 per people) knowing ladies didn't drink that much...
And as usual: headache this morning... but not sick, and that is cool ! 

hearing about that crazy brit McNutt (iirc correctly) who's claiming that alcohol is more harmful than heroin and that the war on drugs is stupid lies? As an alcoholic, I'd rather be a pothead. Imagine - a scientist -trying to talk about public policy! haha, imagine, a scientist - a person professionally dedicated to finding out what is true about reality - trying to have some influence on - the governemtn! ha ha! 

well, X-mas is like X-men, but not. 

I am so drunk. I am too drunk. Will try to wake it out. Be better. 7-8 shots of whidkty on top of whatever I had tonight. Like 6 beers + 1 whiskey sour. I am so god damn drunk. Viva las company christmas parties. How much of this will I remember?? 

My friend once woke up to find a note addressed "to his sober self" that he had no memory of :-) It turned out that another friend had forced him to write it... 

2 bottle of red wine
1 bottle of Champagne
and we are starting after-dinner "digestive" liqueur (so to say "Chartreuse").. :P

I am already "dead"... night will be hard I guess ;) 

...bravo? 

I am not sick this morning... but my wife is vomiting her guts in the toilets :P
