At least two.

And I was in neither one.

My soul is still pure.

What.

I believe it's a remake?

He doesn't look very robotic.

I think he looks a bit like Batman wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Maybe they just decided to swap jobs for a while.

I believe it's a remake?

Yeah, apparently. Looks like it's already hit europe and a couple other places. Hits stateside on the 12th.

Mostly, just... why? Why robocop, of all things?

And what's next? FAKEDIT: I was going to say Lone Ranger, and then I actually looked and it turns out hollywood violated that particular corpse last year. Bloody media necrophiliacs.

And what's next?

Space Balls.

There was an animated series done back in '08. Which is news to me and I want to know no more of it.

Seen from a highway this morning:

A store called Condom Sense.
Oh, Texas, u so crazy.

A friend got me to try a new online game through it's beta.

The game has constant connection issues, it often takes more than half an hour an a lot of fiddling just to get in in the first place.
And then it seems that when I actually get in the game it's just a generic MMO that defaults the view to first person and even in the starter areas I'm seeing I'm being punished for keeping it that way as I can't see the targeting circles on the ground well in first person.  Then I learn that the game will have a box price + sub fee + strong hints of a cash shop.  And I quickly lose interest.

The friend is now mad at me when I tell him I'm not hugely impressed.  Because it seems he took my willingness to try it as a sign for him to preorder the game immediately.  He refuses to play any online games without me, so he's telling me I just made him waste $60.

Dude I just said that I'm not impressed, that doesn't mean I won't ever be.  I want to move on and see what else there is to see, but YOU WON'T LET ME because you insist I don't play on without you, and you won't play it for more than an hour a day, including the time it takes us to connect.  We're 2 days into the 3 day long beta and we're still in the goddamn starter zone!  Of course I'm bored!

WTF friends.

There aren't any targeting circles if I'm correct about what you're talking about...

Not to mention that the connection issues are pretty obviously a beta thing, since they've fixed it in the last few hours AFAIK.

You know shit got bad when Robocop decided that Gotham needed him more than Detroit.

[Reelya]

And what's next?

Space Balls.

Great, they'll redo Space Balls, but it will take itself seriously. Cool. :/

I've had my bet down for Land Of The Giants for a while - one of the few well-known old sci-fi shows that hasn't got an update yet.

Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. I'm not joking. Disney's making a live action movie based off it.

My old phone company that I cancelled 3 months early sent me a bill for $0.00.

Better pay that shit pronto.

There was a hilarious instance of someone paying a bill for $0.00 with a check for $0.00.

Every time they ran that batch of checks through the system, the check processing system crashed, took 3 days for the large telecom companies IT staff to work it out, and get the system working again. Followed by adjusting the accounts of everyone whose payments were considered 'late' because of the delay...

Wow. That... that kinda' makes me want to kill someone. Whoever is responsible. Or at least maim to the point they can't attempt to do it again.

I... I guess I'll hold off incandescent murderrage until after it's done and people can cast clear headed judgment, but... damn. Right in the protective-of-childhood part of the brain. Watching people gearing up to utterly desecrate one's younger years is... it's a thing. Hope... hopefully it'll actually turn out pretty decently? Or at least not be a god-awful travesty? Might watch it a few years after it's released, I'unno.

Though if it does do well, I guess, what, tale spin's next? Line up the corpse train?

Yeah. This... this is why copyright needs to die after about five years. Maybe ten. Hopefully cut down on the whole drag-dead-memories-from-the-ground-and-put-them-through-a-cash-juicer thing.
