By the way, I said "movies which influenced me". Doesn't mean they have to be -good-. Hey, a number of people have a relationship with the Star Wars movies which would qualify as "life companion", while I myself find them to be just tolerable.

[Harmony Ltd.]

For starters, I don't read any superhero comics - Watchmen being the exception, and it's a one shot anyway.

Also, comic books => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics

Far more than just DC and Marvel

[Frost]

Oh, I'm definitely aware. Green Arrow just fits in along with those movies you listed.

[Ironmonger]

>Thinking out loud.

I don't read comics, I'm always reading something where the main focus is history or science. If I'm not doing that I'm usually role-playing with Frost and my other friends or working on Armed Redemption. Despite that being a short list, I've yet to figure just what takes up so damn much of my time.

What the hell.

EDIT: Actually it's not that surprising considering my quirky memory.

Starship Troopers is a visionary film! Literally. It predicted the future.

In the film, the Terran government has a city destroyed and blames it on the aliens (who probably didn't even have the capability for that) in order to rile the population up for a war with them (which is probably pointless and will cost thousands of Terrans their lives).

Cue several years later...

FROOOOOOOST!!!

YOU DARE CALL BEETLEJUICE SHIT?! Beetlejuice was one of my favorite movies as a kid, I loved it! How could any child hate Beetlejuice?

[Kippershy]

I never watched Beetlejuice and never intend to.

[CamoBadger]

I actually do, yes. It's an awesome Halloween movie.

Certainly a hell of a lot better than Saw and whatever the fuck remake of a classic they come out with every year. (Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc.)

[Kippershy]

If I had the energy right now, I'd kick it into maximum overtrolling, but I haven't.
You kids will just have to make do with the scraps I've left for you to fight over from the other day.

Really, the show being about dead children just makes it all the funnier.

@Nostalgia
My dad read me The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings when I was in preschool and kindergarten?

[Ketchup]

I don't get much nostalgia, but when I do it's typically related to things like the VCR. And Homeworld, Starcraft and Diablo 2, which are the first PC games I really remember playing aside from some educational ones.

[CamoBadger]

DID SOMEONE SAY NOSTALGIA?!

[Sindri]

Nostalgia time? When I was a small child my dad read my sister and I The Call of Cthulhu as a bedtime story. I started playing D&D when I was seven years old.

I can't actually think of any movies that have had a big impact on me... I've loved The Pirates of Penzance for a long time but it hasn't shaped much as far as I can tell.

Game-wise I sank... a lot of hours into Morrowind long ago, and continue to do so sometimes. I started when I got it as a gift, then continued because it was closer to a real RPG than anything else I'd encountered, because you started as a nobody and forged your own path to being a hero instead of walking somebody else's plotline.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

morrowind was great! i loved that game when i was younger. could never play it without cheating and for that,i am ashamed. but theres only so many hours you can go around killing rats in a life or death battle.

[Sindri]

Not even later Elder Scrolls games have had quite that feel... in Morrowind I remember on one playthrough I skipped the prophesy, killed a god, and went through the last part of the main quest backwards. Now it's all compass arrows and invisible walls and fixed movement rates and jumping heights...
Modern "open world" games have a lot of different stories to choose from. Morrowind let you ditch all the stories and do whatever the fuck you want.

The engine and graphics kinda suck, and the AI is often laughable, but the feel of the game...

[StoneSlinger88]

I preferred just getting lost in the world, it felt so much more meaningful as you could help (or screw over) almost anyone you met. There wasn't usually just a generic dungeon, everything had a little story behind it. It's been years since I first played, and I know there's still so much more I probably haven't even touched on. However, the only thing I didn't like (aside from early leveling up) was....

Spoiler:

Ah yes. The fucking cliff racers.
One of the devs actually admitted that they misplaced a decimal point on the spawn chances for those abominations. Now it's worked its way into the lore. Like that saint who was canonized for driving the racers out of a region. Or the fact that dragons once ruled every part of Tamriel except Morrowind, because they were driven out by swarms of cliff racers which blotted out the sun...

[Valikdu]

My first game was Doom II: Hell on Earth.

I still play it sometimes, with mods though (most recently it was BrutalDoom).

Leave some bits into that jar and help a sister out.

[Frost]

I might, if I had....literally any money at all

[Harmony Ltd.]

Well, as usual in those case, if you can't give yourself, you can always pressure others to do so

Like by forwarding the link, for example :v

Shit how did you know about Sunrise's little efforts? We were just talking about that over at SD.net about approving or disapproving a thread about that.

On an unrelated note Bioshock Infinite is and remains amazing.

I have my sources. :v

I'm used to pressuring people into "giving", but not usually money
