  1. Hated it. Very boring. Even college was. Going to trade school was much more interesting, because I actually did things that helped me learn actually skills.
  2. Hasbro is more concerned about toy sales than how well the movie does. However, if this were a film without an established toy line, this could be considered an awful gross. Again, Lionsgate/Hasbro put limited funds into their marketing, so if they do eat the bullet for this, it's going to be a meager sum of money. This is assuming that merch sales bump up with the film's release.
  3. Children were mostly receptive. Adults weren't very vocal.
  4. I have to admit, I'm fairly excited for it. But not nearly excited for this as I was for Godzilla (2014) or IT. It's not a knock against MLP, but because those two had such a bigger impact on my growth as a person. Still, I'm eager for Friday night.
  5. My tickets will be waiting at the box office window for pick up when I arrive on Friday night with my niece, so technically yeah. I already have. Mostly just to get it out of the way. Also because we want to arrive early in case certain friends decide to show up (but I'm not counting on it because they're fairly indecisive).
  6. I'm more likely to listen to friends than what the public is saying unless their opinion of a film is overwhelmingly negative. In the case of MLP, however, I'm not going to listen and just enjoy the ride. I think we should all do that.
  7. I don't have a source, but a friend I know who saw an early screening of it said that fans shouldn't worry because it matches the source material perfectly. Keep in mind, this was the same person who tried to warn me that Kingsman 2 was inferior to its predecessor (and it was). So I trust him when he says this.
  8. I'm worrying about things that are unlikely to happen. I certainly know better. My brain's other side does not.
  9. I was in a relationship. We weren't happy with each other like we thought we would be. We constantly argued and wallowed in each other's toxic feelings. No matter how much we "loved" each other (if one could even call it that), our hate for each other was much stronger. I still sometimes miss her...but then I remember why we broke up. As of yet, I still haven't felt bothered to enter another relationship, or even try to make myself open to them.
  10. I used to work out, however over the years I've slowed down with it. My physique was at its best when I was a swimmer in high school and college. But I've never really had an issue with gaining too much weight. In fact, I have the problem of losing weight and not being able to keep it up. So it's the opposite.
  11. Just watched the first episode of Netflix's Castlevania. It has over-the-top gore and violence like an 80's anime, except it's competently produced.
  12. If we're talking about infatuation, I did when I was really young (single digits). There were a few. Got over that quickly, though. It's difficult for me to "fall in love" with a real person these days, let alone a fictional character. I've been burned enough times to know otherwise.
  13. This is a standard, cookie cutter movie plot. Not just in animated films, but various mediums as well.
  14. The only thing that makes me sad about this is Starlight Glimmer being relegated to a secondary character. I think it's by design since the movie was developed over the course of several years, but still....
  15. Took a nap. Woke up. Saw someone mention this on Twitter. My response:
  16. The Steam Machine failed. The Ataribox will suffer the same fate.
  17. Bethesda is one of the few publishers that makes content that I regularly don't get bored with. I'm still playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim and it's been out for nearly six years at this point. Same goes for Fallout 4 and previous Fallout titles. I remember some years after its release I picked up The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and played the hell out of it because there was just so much content in it. This would have been in 2008....and keep in mind that the game came out back in 2002. Like Rockstar and Bioware, Bethesda are on a totally different class from other publishers/developers. It's why I keep buying their games.
  18. Godzilla Bandais, some NECA Predator and Xenomorph figures, and two (2) ponies. Not sure which gens they are from. But most of my stuff is Godzilla and Alien related.
  19. "Empire," from Chimaira's album Resurrection (2007). My third-favorite metal group of all time. By the way, they are reuniting for a show on December 30th. I will be in Cleveland to witness it. Never been to one of their concerts. This could be my last chance.
  20. VR or virtual reality gaming. Looks ridiculous, looks boring, and it looks extremely niche and limited in capability. The headset looks ridiculous, and I can't imagine anybody choosing that goofy looking method of gaming over classic controls and gameplay on a monitor or television screen. I'm surprised it hasn't died yet. People have been trying to make it work for years, and I don't think it'll reach the popularity amassed by consoles and PCs.
  21. Do I expect it to happen? Not really. But I wouldn't say that it is unlikely.
  22. I used to talk to my 1992 Ford Tempo because it was an old car that never wanted to start, and would sometimes shut off on its own if I left it running without movement for a period of time. I cursed it out hundreds of times in a single day. Got stuck in a traffic jam with it once. Fun, fun, fun... My 2003 Honda Civic is a much better car. But I don't talk to it.
  23. The average gamer is 35 years old. I don't think your friend should have anything to worry about, as gaming is something that people of all ages can enjoy. If you need further reassurance, my grandmother still plays Super Mario Bros. on the NES. And as for me, I don't care if people my preferred hobbies or activities are immature. They can shove it.
  24. Quite the opposite. A problem I face with most games is that I hardly feel invested in them anymore. So if I get killed over and over, I'll probably just get bored and stop playing. But the same goes if I find the gameplay boring. So really, I don't get angry at games these days. Most of them I don't finish anyway.
  25. I'm actually a PC gamer first and foremost. The only benefits that certain consoles have are their exclusives. The last console I owned was an Xbox 360. I haven't looked back since then. PCs just have more power and more benefits over consoles. Also, they don't RROD after two years of functionality.
