Yeah, I just got that. I think it is actually cheaper if you choose one or the other…dvds at your house OR direct streaming.[/quote]

Yeah I see it that way too. Unfortunately I can’t get my wife to give up one or the other.

Nope pay $20 a month for in the mail movies, then I can trade the mail in ones at the blockbuster down the street and pick up ones from the store.

I just signed up for the streaming only plan. They usually have enough movies that I rarely have to wait for a dvd in the mail.

7.99 a month considering all I watch is that and play video games means I am still coming out ahead.

Hahahahahaahahahahaha but I like 2005. :frowning: Just had that so long dont know any other way. You are right if the Netflix is $16 a month for both then I am definitely going to change it.

Okay thoughts on this?

Okay cancelled Blockbuster got Netflix. Now watching bladerunner on PS3 fucking awesome.

Thanks X

Anybody know that new X-Men game was in development? Just heard about it today. It’s being developed by Silicon Knights. I liked Too Human, so I’m looking forward to this game.

In X-Men: Destiny, players will be put in the role of a new mutant who joins the X-Men; they will have to make choices to decide the ultimate destiny of their character. According to early sources, X-Men: Destiny is placing an emphasis on “choice” as its main focus, as opposed to a more traditional linear type of gameplay. According to the official press release, “the all-new original video game casts players as new mutant recruits in a rich, branching storyline that features a deep element of choice and gives players ultimate control of their destiny”. At E3 2011, the hands-off demo demonstrated that throughout the game the player character collects and equips ‘X-Genes’ which grant the power of an established member of X-Men continuity. These come in three types, offensive, defensive and utility, and can be swapped at any time with other collected X-Genes.

Established characters from the X-Men who are confirmed to appear for now include Wolverine, Magneto, Iceman, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Colossus, Gambit, Surge, Nightcrawler, Pixie, Mystique, Northstar, Quicksilver, Pyro, and Juggernaut, with other X-Men characters also expected to appear.[/quote][/quote]

Yep. Had this on pre-order since April.

There hasn’t been much released about it other than being another moral based open world game much like inFAMOUS.[/quote]

Guess I’ve been out of the loop for a bit. I’m just now finishing up Darksiders and will probably play Assassins Creed: Brotherhood next.

Netflix has the 90’s Spider-Man on streaming one good thing about being bought by Disney they aren’t afraid to show their cartoons. Now all we need is the 80’s Spider-Man, Hulk, and Soider-Man and His Amazing Friends preferably unedited and with Stan Lee’s narration.[/quote]

I saw the Silver Surfer cartoon listed in there too. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is up too. I have no idea how well either of those shows has aged.

More GI Joe 2 news:

  • Adrianne Palicki (of the cancelled-before-it-began Wonder Woman tv show) as Lady Jaye. Not sure how they’ll work around all her fancy-shmancy javelins though.

  • Ray Stevenson as Firefly, “The film’s key villain.” I really like Stevenson (he was definitely the highlight in War Zone and is awesome in Kill the Irishman), but in a million years I wouldn’t have pegged him as Firefly. Stevenson’s 6’4" and has a super-intense glare/demeanor. Having him in a full-face hood as a stealthy/covert ops guy just doesn’t seem to jive.

  • On the downside, they’re still looking to cast some teen heart-throb-type of dude for a Joe called “Mouse.”

Like putting nipples on a bat suit…[/quote]
They are redesigning Snake Eyes’ suit. Ray Park said it looks “awesome.”[/quote]

I don’t think the Javelins would be that hard to work around. Spears were a part of warfare for millennia I don’t think one eccentric female using javelins in combat will break the movie. Plus, it’s not like Lady Jaye never picked up a rifle. The Javelins were often a fall back weapon.

Firefly has always been more of a demolitions specialist. In that light I can see Ray Stevenson blowing some shit up.

Snake Eyes suit never really bothered me. It was low on the list of complaints compared to so much else. Like SS and SE receiving all their Ninja schooling from Hard Master by the age of 10 or so.
