PrintPost-game bitching goes in here. Try to keep the reactionary fanposts to a minimum. Actually, if you're thinking of creating a fanpost and there's nothing constructive to say, it would probably be best not to post it.
If you don't feel like bitching about football, let's talk music.
This is a great cover of a classic Bobby Blue Band tune "Farther up the Road."
One of the four people in this music video doesn't belong. He's sort of Londonbeat's own Brian Russell.
A few weeks ago we talked about things we hate. Let's talk about things we like.
-Rain
-Thunder storms
-Pumpkin pie
-House, MD
-Doctor Who
-West coast jazz
-Felix Hernandez
-Adrian Beltre
-Marcus Trufant
-Matt Hasselbeck
-Yamaha brand saxophones
-Intel brand microprocessers
-NVIDIA brand GPUs
-Cake that isn't a lie
-Campy sci-fi movies

Thanks for making this thread.
Hopefully it will head off anyone else, like our mate skunkjigga.
Things I like?
-Siberian Huskies
-Pie
-Running
-Skiing
-Mountains
-F.E.A.R.
-System Shock 2 (ok that’s enough video game references)
-Koren Robinson (don’t let me down, K-rob)
-Army of Darkness
-Rammstein
-Jeff Clement
-Josh Wilson
-Adrian Hanauer and the entirety of the Seattle Sounders FC
-Ichiro
-Anything about WII
-Seattle Grunge
Any many many other things that I’m not going to bother to name
I'm playing F.E.A.R.
at the moment.
It’s definitely in the pants-crapping scary category, as is System Shock 2.
FEAR was frightening
but the pacing in System Shock 2 was what made it the most horrifying game experience ever.
Left 4 Dead is going to be pretty freaky
when you’re playing at late at night/super early in the morning and alone.
"Hole in one, eh?"
True, I've never played it before.
But just from a movie I’ve seen, L4D looks awesomely scary.
"Hole in one, eh?"
L4D will likely be scary
but SS2 is in a completely different league.
It was like taking the best elements from Aliens, The Ring, and Psycho and combining them into one fantastically horrifying experience.
L4D will be tons of fun
but its not going to be very phycological. I still can’t get through silent hill 4
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

ya if you think 28 days later is scary
Shock terror just doesn’t do it for me.

The remake of Dawn of the Dead didn't have great pacing.
It was still a pretty good movie.
"Hole in one, eh?"
/facepalm

In what way was Dawn of the Dead good?

Go watch Ringu.
That movie left me fucked up for weeks.
The fast zombies are what
put it over the top. And it got a 7.4 on IMDB and a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes. So a lot of people liked it.
"Hole in one, eh?"
Zombies are overrated in horror films.
It’s the easy standby for some producer who wants to make a quick buck.
Not really.
All of the big zombie movies every have been good. There’s a reason for that.
"Hole in one, eh?"
What about The Thing?
Pacing wasn’t great, but great acting, a great script and a great plot made it tremendous.
"Hole in one, eh?"
Your homework this week
is to watch Alien and Ringu.
You don't like The Thing either?
What about the original Halloween? The first Nightmare on Elm Street?
"Hole in one, eh?"
These are all more shock value films.
Movies like Alien are the real mindfucks.
You know that Romero's films
are brilliant for their underlaying saying, right? Not because of their “shock value”?
"Hole in one, eh?"
They're good
but still not as excellent as the Hitchcock films or the good Alien films.
You actually need to watch these films
before rendering judgment, you know.
Cannibalism?
That’s textbook shock value horror.
But...Lecter wasn't
even the main villian. There really wasn’t any cannibalism until near the end.
"Hole in one, eh?"
I can't believe this, but I'm taking Coach's side here.
Halloween is one of the purest horror movies ever made. It’s nearly perfect.

Good pacing is what separates mediocre horror films from great ones.
Shock terror is a cheap, easy way to make a film like that.
Decent
but not in the same league as horror films like Alien, Pyscho, or The Shining.
I will say that as far as Zombie horror goes
Romero is one of the few who can pull it off without being incredibly lame/campy
Psycho is one of Hitchcock's weaker films.
Rebecca is one of his best. Rebecca is full of shock value. There are lots of other examples, but my point is that you’re underestimating the value of shock.

Pacing is what makes a suspense film excellent.
Horror can be excellent in many different ways.

Just got a package from Amazon today.
Ironman on bluray, Forbidden Kingdom on bluray, 3:10 to Yuma on Bluray, The happening on bluray, Madmen season1 on bluray, and Pushing Daisies season 1 on bluray. What a glorious day (office season four, life season one, psych season 2 as well, but just normal dvd, as well as digital camera and like 10 awesome books). So I guess I’m going to add big ass packages of ordered crap to this love list.
Yikes watch the picture size.
Try to keep it at width = 250.

Not too many posts here yet.
I’ll give it a week, but maybe there’s more to hate than there is to love.
I love that picture of your dog

I really wish I had learned how to play the guitar.
You can’t take a damn piano with you when you’re trying to impress girls.
I'm so ridiculously pumped for this game.

Left 4 Dead.
An awesome, co-op survivial-horror game where you fight off hundreds of “infected”. It’s from Valve, the Bellevue-located makers of the Half Life, Counter Strike and Team Fortress series.
"Hole in one, eh?"
there like $10
Coach you and I have to play this game.

Good list
Oddly enough, I’m going to agree with this “Standardized testing”?
This si also good “Pizza” It’s practically impossible to make bad pizza.
Speaking of the USSM
Dave Cameron is up for a $10,000 scholarship and everyone should vote for him.
