I played the demo. It's nice if you like OOOOOOOLD final fantasy games and the tactics job system... unfortunately the tactics job system is one of my most despised things in gaming.

I normally don't care for jobs either, but this one isn't bad. The game seems to center around the idea of customizability. You can save turns or use turns early, the job system is easy to use and you can give characters different abilities from non-equipped jobs, you can customize each character's special moves, you can even customize the difficulty in ways I've never seen in an RPG, including whether or not you gain EXP, Job points, or money, strength of enemies, and enemy encounter rate from 0% to 200%. And despite all this, I've never felt overwhelmed or like I'm being pushed to do things that drag the game down.

As far as the story goes, I'm only a few hours in, but it seems like standard fare so far, nothing big but decent. It kind of reminds me of the story from FFVI.

I just don't understand why it's so hard to make an adaptation, put something in to make it your own, and then leave the rest of it alone. I mean, the main market for these films are those nostalgic over them, right. So how do they plan to please said target audience by changing everything that made it great, putting in things that make it stupid and instantly date it, and treating their audience like idiots?

I mean, did you see the last Resident Evil movie? Dear God, I was literally squirming in my seat by the ten minute mark. Someone I work with told me he thinks they're all great movies, and I told him I could come up with 100 things wrong with them in three days. I thought I was challenging myself, at least until I finished with the first movie and already had twenty-five things.

Nah, the movies are so bad, they engrained on my mind, like a friggin' scar. The list was completely from memory. I can only imagine how much longer the list would have been if I'd actually gone back and watched them.

What can I say, I love to complain about bad movies that piss me off. Especially video game movies based on my favorite games, like Resident Evil, or Silent Hill, or anything made by Uwe Bowl.

Speaking of 'bad' movies, I heard through the grapevine that there is work being done on a sequel for Space Jam.

I.....I...Ugh...why?!!!? How?! Who's it going to star, Dennis Rodman and Dane Cook?

From a bit of research, it is apparently going to star LeBron James, with the screenplay written by Willie Ebersol and produced by Charlie Ebersol. I for one, welcome our new ballin' overlords.

You realize someone will fine this and will use this as a trailer.

Space Jam brings back a lot of nostalgia but I think it is one of those movies which should stay in the past.

Speaking of movies, I've heard the Amazing Spider Man 2 movie is rubbish; anyone want to confirm or deny that? I am juggling whether to watch that or Captain America: Winter Soldier.

Well if your a comic book fan you will like this movie,and if your not the movie is enjoya

The things I liked in the amazing spider man 2 was they got spider man right,they make him argent he talks shit to his enemy's he is cocky they got him right. Now I think the movie suffers from it focusing a little more on the next spider man and hint to much on the sinister six,and I also hate that they shewed horned the gobblen into the movie. but despite it's fault it's a good movie to watch.

But Dane quickly learns to be careful what he wishes for when he gets replaced by Dennis' new eccentric friend! Now, Dane has to slam some buckets, dodge some missiles, and overthrow the man who took his spot as #1.
