I had this game IN MY HAND, and then i decided not to buy it. I'm so weak willed. Or strong willed for not buying it. Either way, I lose.

Ok, so here goes, my attempt to remember what I wrote in a dirty notebook in MN that I'm almost positive I threw away, but whatever today is really slow at work and I have an hour and a half til I get off...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Last Airbender is a wonder of Hollywood movie making that somehow, perhaps through some dark arts or human sacrifices, has absolutely no redeeming qualities. From the first moments of the movie to the last agonizingly boring moments of the climax, nothing of note seems to happen. I don't even know where to start with my complaints/sad remembrances of what might have been. I guess I'll just rant then... that seems easiest.
1. They fucked it up. Like, in the nose, with a cock. Fucked. It. Up. When the movie was first greenlit, so many fans of the series were ecstatic, but hesitant. For you see, The Last Airbender is based on a solidly built existing property, Avatar: The Last Airbender. One of the things that comes with adapting an existing property is that the base of the story already exists. The framework is there. 50 some odd episodes of backstory, relationship history, and themes are all available to draw on. The screenwriter, it seems, has chosen to eschew all this backstory, and make something else entirely. Take the character of Uncle Iroh. In the cartoon series, Iroh is the solid role model for his angry, maladjusted nephew Prince Zuko. He is a an old man, with the knowledge of a life spent doing things he now regrets. Past wars and battles, including the loss of his only son, have changed him. These days he is a kinder, gentler man, quick to forgive and even quicker to joke. He is the perfect foil to his nephew, understanding and carefree where Zuko is apprehensive and frustrated. While it is easy to forgive the movie for not being of the same length of the series, and therefore not being able to give the same back story in the amount of time it has, it's possible to at least give some motivations to a somewhat main character. Instead we are treated to a lifeless characterization of the old man character with really nothing of note to how this character differs from any other old mentor. This treatment of characters are the same across the board. In the cartoon, Aang, the eponymous last airbender, is a complicated character who is burdened with responsibility and the thought that thousands of lives, including all of his people, have been lost due to his careless running away. In the Movie, Aang whines. A Lot. Nothing else is really made of his happy-go lucky character, he just laments the fact that everything is different than he remembers. These upsetting character deficiencies really are set upon a couple people. The screenwriter, the director, and the actors. Luckily, The screenwriter and the director are the same person, so I can kill two shitty birds with one stone. So let's do that first. Stay tuned for part 2 of what is sure to be at least 5, i think:

I think I did the poll wrong BUT... ... ... ... uhh location is key. Because I probably can do any weekend. But is there any place that could handle this level of epic-ness?
Oh except I can't do it Thanksgiving because Kenton's Pal Jimmy Olsen JeffTM is having a board game thing again for his birthday (w/ two ice cream cakes).

I'm making this the official Skyrim thread. Basically it seems that this is the game to get for the season, at least along with Minecraft, but that already has it's own thread, so WHATEVER
This is for the future postings of which I'm sure there will be many. As a person with no computer, I will not be able to join in regaling what may be the TRUE spiritual successor to Morrowind, cause really, fuck Oblivion and it's stupid fact that you COULDN'T WEAR A ROBE AND ARMOR AT THE SAME TIME.
(internet checking)
SKYRIM doesn't have it either fckitallinthebut

So, there has been talk of an Epic All day Board Game Extravaganza-thon. The first thing I think to talk about would be: -when -then where -followed by what games, -and then who's invited(No Thomas' allowed, mostly cause I think he wins a lot of games, therefore making me proud and sad at once).
Anyway, so vote when you think it should happen, and when everyone has there say, we'll move on to the nexty.
Anyone still go here?
