The Saw series does have some originality compared to the typical "girl must figure out the truth behind murderer/supernatural being while trying to stay alive" plot.

I do enjoy the occasional slasher film, however, like the Nightmare on Elm Street series, some of the Hellraiser movies and a few others that never turned into a franchise. I still haven't seen any of the Friday the 13th films, minus Jason Vs. Freddy, Jason X and the 2009 Friday the 13th.

I can't wait to see the Nightmare on Elm remake, coming April 30th 2010.

I'm not suggesting that slasher films are better. Dear God no, I'm not suggesting that. But for some reason it's become commonly accepted that gore = scary. Not only is that not true, it's also led to a laziness in making horror movies. Simple gore isn't the same as terrifying.

Now, that said, certain squicky things involving the body can easily be used to great effect to evoke true horror. See Cronenberg's remake of The Fly.

Now that's a horror movie.

Quoted for truth. Gore is boring and annoying (and often low budget), good horror movies can be far more interesting.

It's the fact, they the main killer guy, doesn't actually kill his victims, is why I enjoy the movies. Even the good guys get to suffer or even die, is another reason why I like them so much.

Mainly though, I like the fact that the victims get to decide if they want to die.

Again for something different...

What kind of pets do you have?

I myself have two puppies, the black and white one is called Spot, because it looks like he has a bulls eye spot on the top of his head. The other is black and brown, his name is Hugo, because he is chubbier of the two.

They are also brothers, which explains their constant wrestling and fighting.

I used to have a cat at home, but it passed away a few years ago. We don't have anything else for the moment, although I wouldn't mind having another cat, or maybe some fishes.

I used to have a cat named Fang, pure black with three white hairs on his chest. We called him fang because his actual fangs were much larger than any other alley or house cat around. He could literally bite someones fingers off, with one solid bite.

One of the coolest cats we had.

I have two dogs, both German Shepard/Lab mix, both female, about 4 years old.

One dog is named Cubby (because when she was born, she was the chubbier one of the two, plus their mother, god rest her sweet doggy soul, was named Bear. Get it? She's a Bear's cub and she was chubby. She's a Cubby!)

The other is called Pinky (born with pink paws and a pink nose. I just call her "Pink" at most times. I'm not really a big fan of the name myself.)

Oh yeah, and we have a cat named Molly. (....*shrugs*)

That's great with the birthsigns, Yll; where'd you find all that information?

I like the guy that's Loving and caring... and doesn't pick fights over stupid things such as the fact that a certain word bothers you. Blonde blonde hair or biker apparel is always an added bonus. The best national stereotype of personalities for a guy for me to be with is Irish.

I am a caring human as well; therefore, pretty much, if he truly Loves me, I will probably Love him as well. Although there is one guy who is the most supportive and the most accepting of me (as well as anyone else who's not like completely evil (i.e. a rapist)), and I don't feel anything for him at all, not even an extremely close friendship. It's odd but I'm pretty sure I know why. Not to mention I was already in Love when I met the guy I just mentioned.

And IF the guy IS caring... then I won't be "complaining" to him too much because I will be happy anyway.

There pretty much has to be some level of geekiness, though. Then again, if there isn't, I probably wouldn't even be talking to you at all... unless you're a a hippie (who don't generally get close enough to other hippies to fall in love when the hippieness is the main basis of their relationship).

My favorite color is either blue (certain shades) or purple 9excepting the ugly shades of purple). I'm not sure which. In addition, my favorite color combinations are silver-ob-black or neon pink-on-black. or maybe my favorite color is black, excepting the fact that black is not a color. Who knows?

Yo mama so fat, she sat on a rainbow and skittles popped out!
Yo mama's such a bitch, she had puppies! (That one's mine)

I'm sure you all know this one, but...

Yo mama's so stupid, she went to the movies and it said "Under 17 not admitted, so she went home and got 16 of her friends."

I used to know more but that was years ago and I can't remember them.


I don't know about birthdays but the only "important" such gift I ever received was on Christmas, when my Uncle got me an Evanescence CD and I actually cried because he was the only one who got me something I actually wanted in about 3 years... otherwise my relatives were giving me things THEy wanted me to have... such as shoes =\.

I did get an N64 one year, which was "expensive," but not unexpected. I was still a teenager.

I never read a WoW book, but I'd have to say the game and game previews are probably more interesting.

My favorite book used to be The giver. My favorite author is Christopher Pike. As for my favorite books currently... it's kind of "special", so I feel like by sharing it with others I am sharing the "specialness," and who I tell to read it is who I want to share the specialness with. In other words, I don't even want to say it publicly. (No it is not something "embarrassing" or "evil" or anything like that.)

Favorite TV shows that I know of are fringe, Buffy the http://www.davidlarcom.webs.com/ampire Slayer, That 70's Show, and Smallville... but ever since he actually went to the newspaper, more recent episodes of Smallville are not that interesting.

Fringe is absolutely fucking awesome to everyone I've ever met who has seen it and if you've never heard of it I recommend you go watch the first episode immediately. The closest I can get to describing it is like a combination of Law & Order, The X-Files and The matrix. Or at least that's what I say to idiots who generally watch nothing but "America's Top Model" and some dumb shit when I'm trying to get them to turn it on.

I think I missed what the living topic was about. So never mind it because it's not really relevant in any way, for most places.

"Of all the music, throughout all the times...." I will listen to the artist I like?? All of them??? I'm not really sure what the month or year has to do with it (other then to possibly add more artists or songs to your listening "list" if such a thing were to exist)...

I believe I saw a ghost for the first time in Indiana with Wind. At least, he is the one who told me that what I had seen was probably a ghost, and that Indiana is the most haunted state in the country due to it being one of the first to get railroads and nobody knowing they were 'that dangerous". Other then that... I'm Pagan, so yeah. I have been attacked, especially while in my mother's house and the first few times of intense (good) emotional experience with the man I want to marry after having been wearing the crystal (crystal quartz) from my son's father. The first is because my mother makes her house atmosphere very... unwanted, and the second is, obvioulsy, because my son's father (Shadow) Loves me and does not want me to Love someone else as well, so the crystal was reacting to his Love for me even though he would not actually wish me harmed at all.

If this counts as on-topic, I also had a predictive dream of my step-grandfather's death at (my) age of 5.

"Giant ocean monsters" do not exist. Undiscovered sea creatures, obviously exist... unless one wishes to believe that humans are infallible and so have discovered every species known to man. there cannot be "just one" "Loch Ness monster". It simply doesn't make sense. And of course if they are intelligent, but cannot speak the human language of their habitat area, they would purposely avoid us. And if they are more intelligent then us, they would be successful at evading us. Such as mermaids... which I do believe are legends other then the fae (spirit) mermaids.

RD: Dragons, dinosaurs, and lizards which actually are dragons? Well of course the dragon idea started from somewhere... they pretty much do exist.

If reality is "as made up as any book," it's because you're assuming the nonfiction books, such as elementary school history textbooks, are 100% (or at least mostly) true. If you're not referring to "personal" emotions when you say that. Just watch the Zeitgeist movie.

Favorite board game, if your definition of such a game requires an actual board, would be Atmosfear. Will add that word linked later if I remember.

Key to the Kingdom is absolutely awesome is you're 15 or under. If you're older... it's still awesome, for a straight "roll-the-dice" type board game (as opposed to Scattergories and Guesstures, etc.). You can make up the pieces for all of the obstacles, as long as you have a D8, know what the sides of the D8s can be, and have the two rulebooks.

The solution to America's/Canada's/Europe's/Australia's/etc. economy is easy. Vote Ron Paul in 2012 (or at least get rid of the corporations such as FEDERAL RESERVE and IRS), then make all the rest of the relevant countries follow suit.

Also you should probably not start a U.S.-specific discussion in the "random" topics... there are too many international peoples on this board.

My favorite card game is Magic. Sorry, but that is a card game. It is played with cards. To assume everyone would even know of casino games is ridiculous. Rummy and Double Solitaire are still played with spades diamonds hearts and clubs.

Oh, right... DUH!!!!. Favorite game with boring cards is Idiot and Egyptian Ratscrew. (Isn't everyone's......??) Only I have no idea how to play Idiot (can't remember... anyone know??))

Most likely the game "called" asshole (why in quotes, I mean?) is actually Bullshit. Unless you are actually talking about another game called "Asshole". Here is one more 'actually'.

I wish to live in Indiana, California, Ireland, POSSIBLY Florida (I haven't been there yet, to Ocala/Pensacola), Canada, or I forget the others. But mostly Ireland. Celtic = Pagan = Beer not ale = yay.

I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to live in China (including non-governmental Chinese people)... it's unfathomable.

RD, if you're going to Nevada to see someone specific or revisits a past life occurrence, or something similar to that, then it really isn't the "place" you want to live, as per discussion... it's the human being/event/whatever that you want to live with or in, or... whatever is relevant to your "personal" reasons.

Wouldn't German be Oktoberfest? (No that's not a typo slam, it's a note to the 'k' instead of the attempted 'c'.)

Doc: The majority of WoW players are practically casual gamers... in fact, many of them ARE casual gamers, or even not geeks at all! Can you imagine??!? In fact, the MAJORITY of WoW players actually seem to play no more then 10 or 15 hours a week... and that's like, max. So, I don't know about other paid games, because EverQuest players make more sense then that, but the MAJORITY of WoW players would consider you above average if you actually play the game for even 3 hours every day... of course you would not be recognized by the actual geeks and high-level (I don't mean character level) players.

"The Witcher" looked really good. I don't know if it's free. No that is not my answer to the topic; it is another part of my response to DC about MMOs. There was another MMO that looked REALLY REALLY good, but I can't remember what it is. The only problem is you can't really "try" an MMO (regardless of cost vs. free), since it's pretty much either permanent (for at least a while) or nothing.

Um, FPS with a health bar? ...Doom? Wolfs.. uh, whatever the Wolf game is; brain fart. Um, yeah, we've got some... FPS and third-person shooter is both pretty much the same things, unless you consider FPS to be only war games like some people do.

NFL... I'm cheering for the guy who changes the non-cable-sports station's programming to something mildly entertaining, whoever that may be.

Please don't "joke" by saying you are "practically suicidal' as a "casual-and-unrelated-to-suicide remark" unless you are joking about Linkin Park and CDs and backwards-bleeding wrists. The "casual joker" 'cause "my team lost" and "I didn't get the part" was pretty much the original emo, regardless if they weren't actually "emo" about it when they said it. Both of my sisters do that. neither one of them is even remotely suicidal, or even depressed. It is extremely annoying. not to mention that "professionals" will tell others to actually take you seriously "no matter what" (excepting the above-mention wrist-slitting jokes) and that can cause problems for yourself if it ever actually happened. ...Which it has. To people.

I haven't seen any Saw movie. But, it looks like nothing but hack-and-slash... how [un]interesting. If I am wrong then my comment does not refer to a Saw movie (so there :P).

Oh... guess I was right. X says so.

BLOOD DOESN'T MAKE A MOVIE GOOD. ACTING, PLOTLINES, AND DIRECTING MAKE A MOVIE GOOD. Of whatever combination of the above-three named things you might think are interesting.

Arkane, I'm pretty sure every movie you mentioned so far, except for the Jason movies, are not hack-and-slash (period) movies. And at least Jason was dead. Obviously Nightmare isn't.

"Victims" deciding if they want to die... well if that's 100% true exactly as written, then that's suicide (not murder and not scary unless the murder caused the wisher to be suicidal through previous physically violent attacks... well at least not in the "scary movie" sense; after all the only nightmare I have ever had is one in which someone I Love dies, becomes permanently severely mentally retarded, or leaves me for some reason that could only be found in a dream). If it has a real plot with real lines to it, perhaps the movie could be interesting. But, if the movie is interesting, then X lied about it being a hack-and-slash movie, because hack-and-slash movies don't have much plot other then "Some dude wants to kill you very badly"... usually for no comprehensible and/or discernible reason. However, if it is merely an add-on point to the hack-and-slash movie, as a plotline but with no relevant acting and directing, then why does it mater? Good plots with bad scripts really suck, because then you want to see the movie with the same plot that was actually made well... only there isn't one. I saw an example some time within the last month. I can't remember what is was. Carrie (the first one only) could be an example of this, maybe. Not that the plotline was all that great, but there are probably some people who could have enjoyed the movie as a movie (rather then as a random tool to make fun of someone who doesn't deserve it and call them evil and/or "a random gory movie"... even though there isn't any fricking gore!!), if there had been some actual; acting, lines, or character development to it.

When I can have a pet, I will have at least two cats. Perhaps many. I would also like a ferret. And (or or) if my life develops as I would most intensely wish for it to develop... then I will definitely be getting a monkey. The reasons for the monkey are not my own.

[Edit]Holy shit that post was long and I didn't know it.

Crazy dude takes people who don't value their lives according to his standard. This includes people who've attempted suicide, drug addicts, etc. He kidnaps them and sets them up in these torture scenarios with a way out. The way out often involves the risk of injury, disfigurement, or maiming. The dude, "Jigsaw" does not intend for them to die but to make those hard decisions in order to live and come out with a greater appreciation for life.

Interesting concept? Indeed. In execution though it's pretty much just torture porn.

I don't know how many hours I play a week, but I don't expect it to be that much over 15 or 20. As much as I like my videogames, I'm a bit too spread out with other projects to sink more time into that. Telling me to spend 10 to 15 hours a week is exactly what I was talking against in my previous post: I don't want to feel forced to play that amount in an online game just to avoid lagging behind too much. 3 hours a day IS a lot of time, at least from this full-time worker's point of view!

Main reason why I refuse to play any MMO games. I don't like feeling that I'll be unable to play with my friends if I decide to do something else for one day.

Hm, for some reason I thought "Jigsaw" was a separate movie.

The plot sounds interesting as a concept, but, unlike most movies with "amazing plotline, horrible execution" (assuming that I would agree with you when I saw it), someone telling me a movie I've never heard of before was "about that" and no other info wouldn't make me think "I need to see that!".

Well if you're talking 10-15 hours total in all games then that's definitely not enough time to play any MMO; not because you'd "fall behind" but because by the time you got back to the game you'd forget what you were working on and pretty much have to start over in a way; for example, you might forget by what categories you had organized your items in your item bag (that happens to me whenever I don't play EQ for about 3 months, and in EQ, re-doing them or figuring out how they are already done takes a long time). But other then that, what I was trying to say is you would never "fall behind" in WoW because everyone is "behind". Even though it's fairly easy (according to consensus, not according to my own opinion) to get to the top level in a week, you will always have a lot of characters at every level. But if you tried to start a group on a specific server with a specific group of friends, then yeah that would probably happen. But if you were to play WoW for 3 hours a day, most of the WoW players might consider that average or slightly above average... it just probably wouldn't be considered average by anyone on this board! (except maybe some newer people if they are not "full" gamers or something).

A new discussion is at hand...

Lets talk about our real life names, not about our internet names. My real name is Steven Veasman, Veasman is German. It comes from the name Weissman, my first name, I was named after an crazy uncle. Who happened to die in his sleep, while residing in a crazy house.

Any one else...

My name's Stéphane, as many of you already know. I was supposed to be called Sébastien, but two weeks before my birth, one of my mother's cousins had a boy with that name. My parents then decided to change it to something else in order to be different.

Maybe that's why some people insist on calling me "Sébastien" even though they've known me for years!

Stephane is french for Steven, if memory serves right. I remember it from fourth grade, the teacher had a french cousine visit her from France. One of the things he did was ask for each of the students name, then write their french version name on the chaulk board.

So to some degree, we both have the same name. Sebastien is cool name, as long as you don't start singing "Under the sea", everything will be ok.

Hunter tis my name.

I went down down down in the burnin ring of fire.

I went down down down and the flames went a higher.

And it burns burns burns.

The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.

My name is Dirk, I was supposedly named for a line of men with my name from long ago in my family, the last of which was my great-greatgrandfather. Surprisingly I am currently the only one with that name in the family, and at the last reunion we had over 160 people!

Aside from my first and last name, I have also not one, not two, but three middle names, baptismal names. Basically they are all latinized versions of my grandfathers' and father's names, in order of their age. I think it's pretty swell.

And now for something new...

Out of all the new games that are coming out recently, despite if you have the system or not, are you looking forward to the most?

For me, I think it is already out, but White Knight Chronicles sounds like a great game. Other than that, the new Castlevania sounds exciting. Castlevania:Lords of Shadow.


Their coming to take me away, hee hee haw haw hoo hoo

I'm too busy lamenting over not being able to play games that are already out to look forward to new ones.

NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. WII!!!

Ahem. It's unfortunate that it won't have online multi-player. That would have been a blast. Guess they'll save that idea for their next iteration, New Super Mario Bros Wii 2.

This game got an 8.9 at both IGN and GameTrailers. IGN mentioned something about how the developers "played it safe" in making the game, leaving out content that they could easily have added that would have enhanced the play experience, but didn't. Oh well. Like I said, maybe next time.

I'm still kind of surprised they didn't have Wario and Waluigi in place of the two generic Toads.

Also, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Looks really neat, with the motion controls for the flashlight, cellphone camera, and whatnot. Comes out December 8. What better way to spend the holidays than with a survival horror game to get through? At least it has a cold, snowy, winter atmosphere. :P

Yes to both of the above posts!

I'll add to that Sands of Destruction, whenever it gets released for the DS. I've been waiting for that game for a while now. Beyond that, I'm not sure. I've been meaning to write up a list of upcoming games that I'm interested in, as I feel like I've forgotten about a few of the titles I was keeping an eye on.
