Movie Quote Of The Day
When you squeeze the nobility, it's the peasants who feel the pinch.
Which movie?

Snowpiercer
(hint: don't watch it! Not worth the time...)

so, you wasted your time, too....

Why do you consider it so bad?
|
|
|
|
|
It was shown on Sky, and the advertisments looked rather promising (suspense, action, whatever you like),
just like an advert should be. But the movie itself was disappointing (my opinion, there is no accounting for taste).
Lame story, no inherent logic in the plot....although the initial idea of a train representing society(?) could make for a really good movie/story...
...in short, it tried so hard to look serious but was a fail in that respect.

I did not see any trailers for it, so I had no expectations. I try to stay away from trailers since Terminator: Salvation. Just gave away the whole plot and the movie was just boring to watch, even though it would have been good without the spoilers.

That is why I have asked, since it didn't seem too bad to me, but nothing special either.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Those also have a function in Doom 3! I just had a replay not long ago, to prepare for the new Doom and it was a neat easter egg.

I looked at the hardware specs for the new version and my jaw hit the floor! 
I'd have to spend the best part of £1000 to get a PC capable of playing a £40 game! Elephant that!
Doom 3 I played a couple of times, but it was too linear (same problem with Duke Nukem Forever) - you couldn't play it the way you wanted to, you had to go the way they wanted you to go, do what they wanted you to do, when they wanted you to do it. I preferred the sense of freedom you got (though you didn't actually have any) in the originals.

I was lucky enough to just fall into the category, where my hardware is good enough to run on medium to low settings. I will surely replay it once I get a new, better computer. I can see why you wouldn't want to upgrade your computer just for a game, I wouldn't either. 
Yeah Doom 3 was linear, but I liked the atmosphere. It got cheesy at times, but the first few levels, Delta 4, Hell, levels leading up to your confrontation with Sarge and the last two were pretty good. The rest were more or less filler and yeah it gets boring. I've played Duke Nukem Forever too, but didn't really expect it to be as 3D was. Same with Tomb Raider, while the reboot is very good in 1-4(Last Revelation) you could pretty much complete a level the way you wanted. Do a speed run and skip most of it, or just spend a few hours per level, finding everything. With the new ones there is a mandatory path for completing the story and it's pretty much linear, but you can always go for 100% completion, which extends your gameplay time.

No, to feel old you have to remember typing in 1,000 lines of code from a C&VG article, finding it won't work and spending weeks trying to find the bloody typing error that you hadn't made because the b'stard editor had printed the wrong bloody listing!
