    Its really gripping a mix of murder mystery and supernatural stuff .. but at points some of the characters are really annoying like terra' mom.Also the opening credits soundtrack i awesome.

    Wait is that Firefly you are talking about??

     

    Firefly, Serenity whatever. As long as that Kaylie chick is in it they could have called it "The adventures of a child murdering sociopath" and I would still watch it.

    I am totally hooked to Serenity now. Its so good.

     

    It kinda sucks when you start watching a show that you know only got 1 season before it went off the air and then end up loving it to bits. To use a House analogy, it feels like falling for a dying Cancer patient.

     

    Edit Wait, that made me sound like Cameron.

    Cant...stop reading The Living Dead...its awesome!!!....aahhhhh!!!!!!

     

    I lost interest around Episode 45. Its actually pretty good but the longer I read it the more the little things began to nag. There were too many characters for one. At any given time each 30-40 page comic is juggling 10-12 main characters and they really have no real personality of their own. Aside from 4-5 people who get a lot more "screen time" the rest are completely indistinguishable from each other (for me anyway) and then the author has the habit of killing off the side characters without much preamble. While I love a writer that has the balls to kill off some of his main characters (see George RR Martin eg) this one doesn’t work for two reasons. One, none of the core characters die, its only the sideliners that kick the bucket. And two, the characters he does kill off are completely forgettable but he tries to make a big deal out of it anyway, its like he is screaming at us "I killed this guy off. Please give a sh*t." And then promptly brings someone new into the group to replace them. Also (again personally) all of the main characters are really assholes. If I was stuck in a Zombie apocalypse with these f**ktards I would rather take my chances by being alone and get the f**k away from them. Oh and lastly a zombie comic book should always be in color.

     

    Long paragraph. :/

     

    I really should give Sandman a read though. If I could find the first book anywhere.

     

    Edit : Wait! Living dead or Walking dead? I was ranting about The walking dead.

    Wai Wai insta noodles suck! And yet I am eating them right now. :hug:

     

    Being too lazy to go out FTL.

     

    On a more positive note, slightly stale and sticky Son papri from Haldiram tastes better than it does when its fresh and crumbly. :panic:

  23. Beyond Good and Evil 2

    I dont know. That sounds like they are trying to get people ready for a cancellation announcement or at least keep hopes about a possible release low. Both of those sound pretty bleak to me.

     

    I wouldnt be surprised if Ubi folded on this one. Its not like the first one set sales charts on fire.

    So this game might actually not happen.

     

    IG: It's always a bit risky for a publisher to push out a new IP, not knowing how the market will react to it. Luckily for Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed did well so now it's a franchise...

     

    LD: Yes, that worked out, but it doesn't work out every time, and sometimes you come back to an IP that didn't work because you still think it could have – like Beyond Good and Evil, which was leaked, so now people know we're working on a new one. Whether or not it comes out remains to be seen anyway, but we didn't want to abandon that IP because it has a cache and authenticity about it. There's something very pure about that game and it's too bad that we were not able to build it as an IP at the time.

     

    IG: Most publishers make decisions based on sales, so what made Ubisoft decide to pursue Beyond Good and Evil again?

     

    LD: Well, I didn't say there's definitely going to be another game. I said something had leaked, which means we've been working on some Beyond Good and Evil stuff, but whether there's going to be another game or not, that's something for the future. But getting to your question as to why there's work on the IP again, it's a creative people business; the creative talent is interested in it and possibly exploring how to do it from a new angle.

    ^^ Too late gramps!

    BTW, what's wrong with Raimi doing a WarCraft movie? He already showed you how cool a battle between the undead and human army with hero characters thrown in can be.

     

    Yeah but its a videogame film. Only people who work in them are deadbeat ringers who have no career in actual movies.
