I strongly desire a large Discworld map to adorn my wall with.

I also want a Kindle. And a billion other project related things…

Perhaps it’s time to begin building a wishlist.

The Last Airbender, as directed by M. Night Shyamalan…

A trilogy of The Room, Foodfight, and Birdemic. (This should never exist)

The movies focused way too much on the human characters, especially in Revenge of the Fallen; there was really just 22 minutes of robot action in that 2.5 hour movie!

The only really good thing about Bayformers is Peter Cullen’s performance.

That’s my favourite time of the day!

I agree!
That didn’t do any justice to the series at all…

> The Last Airbender, as directed by <mark>M. Night Shyamalan</mark>…

HOW DID THAT MOVIE GET MESSED UP. LITERALLY, THE MOVIE HAD THE PERFECT SCRIPT TO WORK WITH…

Sorry, it was a great TV show and it had so much potential to be great.

Because Shyamalan had no clue what he was doing, interviews confirm this even if he wasn’t aware of his own incompetence.

I also paid to see robots fighting.
Instead, i got some crappy American drama, fireworks and stupid writing and acting.

It was supposed to be, as far as I was ever aware. However, it was too GOD AWFUL for them to allow a sequel to be made. And for good reason. I seriously believe that thus far in my life, that is the worst movie my eyes and other senses have been assaulted with.

On another topic: Are there any audiophiles on the Waypoint? I need new headphones. Badly. I need help selecting a good set with amazing sound that doesn’t make my wallet cry too hard.

Movie, what movie?
But really that movie was a monstrosity in every way possible.

If someone says the Prequel trilogy of star wars…

DON’T EVER MENTION THAT GOD AWFUL POS MOVIE!
I don’t care about the TV series, it was good, but the live action movie, I just want to smack everyone in the back of the head who worked on that movie, and chew them out.

I don’t rather to blame it on bad acting, bad screen writing, or bad directing. But it’s just a down right bad movie.

Agreed, I much rather be forced to play the ET game, than watch that movie.

Oh tell me about it. The ignorance and close mindedness is ridiculous.

I’ve seen YouTubers comment that ODSTs are elite Spartans, and people get attacked for trying to correct them by saying ODSTs are just elite Marines with no augmentations or MJOLNIR armor. People who think they know EVERYTHING about the Halo Universe when they think things like that irks me.

It’s totally fine if you don’t know anything about a fictional universe, it’s stupid of you to claim you know everything there is to know about Halo and swear at someone you don’t know over the internet who clearly has a much better grasp of the lore than you.

Oh Steam Sales…So many games, so little time/money to spend on those games…

I hate you Gaben.

Oh boy…another quiet Sunday afternoon for me in Hoboken. Hows ya’ll doing today?

Haha! Very true. I see some good deals, but nothing is really catching my eye.

I’m good. At least it’s sunny here in New Jersey. I actually went swimming today since I had no work. I think i’m going to hop on Xbox in a while.

Well, the good thing is that it’s free. Also, you can sometimes find great deals on the games you like. It’s a very great service if you want to try a game that you hadn’t had a chance to play.

The Star Wars prequels aren’t the best, but they’re nowhere even close to Michael Bay horribleness.

That’s a hard one because the poor movies I know of don’t have any sequels.

I think the Michael Bay Transformers are fine. I go into the Theater expecting Autobot and Decepticon fights, a little bit of humour, nice sound and visual effects, great music from Jablonsky, and a Linkin Park song at the end. For what it tries to do, it delivers. It may be a mess, but for many it’s a good time at the theatre.

So there’s no audiophiles on the Waypoint? Sad times…
