  1. Man, you wrote this question for me. I'll run through the ones I own. :)

    -Kether

    -ABC Sports Presents the Palm Springs Open (I think? The shitty shitty golf game with the obnoxious Australian announcer. "Boy, he really shanked that one! HAW HAW HAW!" Screw you!)

    -Video Speedway

    -A baseball game that I can't remember for the life of me. It had Dennis Eckersly and Dave Stewart and was strictly pitching and hitting.

    -Dragon's Lair? I don't own this one, but I'm 90% sure it was released. Space Ace, too.

    I double-checked the wiki to make sure, I WIN YAY! My question...

    Where does the name "Atari" originate? Probably stupendously easy...

  2. Jack, you should be ashamed. Doesn't it still air on the Cartoon Network? :youlose:

    This is one of my favorite anime series, which isn't saying much because I'm not that huge into the medium, but I can't see it working as a live action. So much of what I dug about Bebop was the artistic style that I don't know how it could possibly translate to the screen.

    I strongly disliked the animated movie, though, so maybe...

  3. A copy & paste from my O posting because I'm lazy.

    Just saw it last night. I loved it, but I loved Batman Begins more. Strangely, I didn't like how superheroey it was. That's what I loved about the previous film - it wasn't a tights-n-capes brawlin' movie so much as it was an examination of what could happen if somebody threw up their hands and decided to be Batman in the real world. TDK had hints of that aspect, but it wasn't the central focus like it was before, and that changed the tone of the movie for me.

    But still, I adored it. I managed to avoid spoilers of Harvey's face, so that big reveal was genuinely shocking, and actually said "that was so fucking cool" aloud after the Joker

    blew up the hospital

    . Loved the message behind his character,

    that the public at large was every bit as responsible for the anarchy Gotham had fallen into as he was, but I thought they killed it by never delivering on the exploding boats. I was sure he'd actually given each crew the detonator to their own vessel, and by damning the other ship, they'd instead be damning themselves. I felt the movie needed that big explosion after the "here we go," even if it would've spoiled the feel-good ending, because that was pretty much the point of the whole movie. Those boats would've been at the bottom of the lake within thirty seconds in the real world.

    It's a horrible shame that Ledger won't be able to deliver a swan song, because he clearly had unfinished business at the end of this film.

    Edited to include spoiler tags. Whups. :D

  4. I liked Dr. Manhattan's look. If he looked like he did in the comic, he would look like a cartoon character.

    Actually, that's what I don't like about him in the trailer... he looked twice as lifelike and realistic in the comic. In the movie, he looks like a bodybuilder.

  5. "We know consumers need more and more space to store the amazing digital content Xbox 360 offers, and we're giving it to them at no extra charge,"

    Since they're giving it away at no charge, that means I can go trade my 20GB hard drive for one of these new 60 giggers, right?

    Man, the one thing Sony did right with the PS3 was their non-proprietary HDD format...
