Well, that's the thing.  I don't consider Duke Nukem 3D a good game because I think it was better than Quake, I consider it a good game on its own merits.  Every release cycle the same argument comes up, over whether some game or another is good because its better than some other title debuting around the same time.  I don't know why vacuum-judgment is such an alien concept.

It depends for me.  For instance, a work that launches a genre or subgenre is usually amazing when it first happens.  Then after that genre is further developed and refined, you usually look back and realize that first one doesn't look so great anymore, even if you still respect the accomplishment.

But I also get annoyed with people a lot when they complain about something just because it isn't as good as something else.  But then the more absorbed I get in something, the more selective I tend to be.

Everything you're exposed to alters your perspective.  The more experience you have with one type of thing, the more you pick up on details that you wouldn't have before that lead to new criticisms.

But I suppose this doesn't really belong in this thread, so I'll stop now.

Points for Ultimaroons the Movie:  It does a great job of accurately portraying the Ultramarines as a bunch of egotistical gloryhogging douchebutts.

At least it wasn't Space Wolves: The Movie: The Wolf of the Wolfing Wolfer of Wolves; RETURN OF THE WOLVES

[Cthulhu]

A very good point.

Imperial Guard movie?

Saving Private Ryan. In Space.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ryan dies at the end. Because it's more grimdark.

Tom Hanks can't breathe in space!

[WorkerDrone]

Space Hanks could be saving me anyday. *swoon*

Although he would still die. Horribly. Like, your eyes boiling horribly.

[ToonyMan]

He would be in the Apollo 13 to protect him.

Dying in hard vacuum isn't that bad. You feel kind of weird, then pass out after about 20-25 seconds. The biggest pain comes from being ignorant enough to try to hold your breath, which creates a massive pressure differential and damages your lungs/airways. Aside from that, nothing particularly traumatic happens, especially not by the time you're already unconscious.

Of course, if you're in direct sunlight, that might suck for you.

Makes sense, there's not much you can freeze to death because there's not much to convect or conduct to.

[G-Flex]

The pressure differential matters, but not a lot. When you think of it, it's only a single atmosphere of pressure; divers have to deal with much worse. Granted, things start to swell up a little and exposed fluids start to boil off, but that probably feels more tingly than anything.

I've always thought you would burst into flames (well, get really really hot since fire needs oxygen) because the sun would destroy you in open space.

[WorkerDrone]

Space Hanks wouldn't die because he would have a tin foil helmet to protect him from the sun.

And he can breath the retardedness surrounding the entire film and turn it into Oscars. Golden, bitches, golden.

pff... Tardigrades can take it.  Are you really going to let a microscopic organism outdo you?

I would. Would you let a giant outwimp you?
