get an sd card
Just get an SD card for your phone.

My phone doesn't have an SD card port. It has a microSD card slot, but that's already in use.

You can probably pick up an 80 GB iPod classic at Gamestop, people sell them all the time, and while interface isn't that sophisticated, it's the same superior audio quality we've come to expect from all of apple's shiny new thousand dollar toys.

Good idea. I don't really care for sophistication. I just want to have some visual representation to what I'm listening to.

Ipods ain't so expensive anymore ya know. You can find some in the 80 dollar range.

Not one with 64GB+ storage, as far as I know.

Speaking of that, got a story for you. Last year I lost mine. Had no idea where I put it. Which is weird because I always carry mine with me securely.

Long story short a couple weeks ago I found the fucking thing shovelling snow out of my driveway. The headphones still worked and the thing itself still works. Gotta hand it to them, that thing is pretty nifty for handling harsh work environments.

The iPod Classic? Yeah, thing was a beast. My sister was given one during her first year of University, but lost it during frosh. She found it again 4 years later, during her 4th year's frosh, still working and everything. Insane.

Find a secondhand Zune

Turns out those are even more expensive than the iPod Classics.

My phone only has 16GB of space, and that isn't enough. But I'm not looking to spend $200+ on an iPod classic to hold all of my music, especially since I don't use iTunes...

Any recommendations? Something more than 64GB would be nice.

Just a little nice interview with Hayter discussing his feelings towards Kojima, the casting process for MGS3 and subsequent games, and the potential future of the Metal Gear franchise.

YouTube


I really appreciate Hayter's honesty here. I knew he couldn't say too much pre-launch, but now, he's all freed up to say as he pleases. Kojima really did spit in his face when recasting him, even if I though Hayter's performances had been getting steadily worse and worse.

What are your thoughts?

almost every negative reaction to it has "Copying Marvel!" Somewhere into it.

I haven't seen this at all, though.

In fact, I wish they copied Marvel a little more. Might've made the film more enjoyable.

I stopped trusting Rotten Tomatoes when they gave The Force Awakens a 92%

Or when they gave Jurassic World anything more than a 60%.

Yeah, that clip from BvS tells me that they're probably going to have him be underwater Khal Drogo. I think he could pull off a better version of Aquaman but unfortunately he's been typecast as this savage warrior character and I don't think it will be a very worthwhile addition to the DCCU.

Agreed. But his clip in BvS was so awkward. It reminded me so much of the mermaid commercial from Zoolander, lol.

I'm not on board with Momoa.
He could be a great Aquaman, but the problem is going to be that he's going to be poorly written character with zero depth.

I feel like they're going for a DCAU Aquaman instead of the objectively superior New 52 Aquaman, unfortunately.

I just couldn't see him starring in a Throne of Atlantis movie, which is just upsetting.

Why should I have to justify what I enjoy to you?

I never said you have to. I'm just asking you to.

Morals & girls both come and go, friend.

Morality is objective, so you're wrong there.

Not going to argue romance with you.

I understand your point of view, though.

She isn't just any girl. To me, anyway.

Suffering, yes. But in what way are you obligated?

Imposing a net positive amount of suffering on others is immoral. So I have an obligation not to kill myself.

I feel like a lot of people started off ironically being racist but it's been so long that they've fooled themselves into actually thinking that way.

A girl. And the idea that killing myself would cause a lot of suffering for those around me. Kind of obligated to exist.

I think Henry Caville is perfect for Superman though

Cavill*

Same, though. Which makes the movie so bittersweet for me.

I can't believe people making this movie thought Eisenberg actually wasn't a shitty casting decision.

The casting director needs to be shot in the street.

Ben Affleck, who admittedly ended up being so good, was risky to begin with.
Eisenberg was awful.
Gadot wasn't awful, but they can do so much better.
I'm not on board with Momoa.
Miller looks like ass.
And apparently Amber Heard is now playing Mera.

Who the fuck thought these were good ideas?

Honestly my biggest gripe with the movie was Jesse Eisenberg, and the actress who played Wonder Woman. He can't act for shit and was annoying, while she didn't  just didn't fit the role.

She wasn't as bad as I thought she was going to be, granted. I just wasn't intimidated by her, she's not strong enough to be Wonder Woman.

Eisenberg gave me absolutely no hope for the future of this franchise.

This isn't even about the specific movie, it's about this mentality of "bad taste".

Of fucking course it is.

Some people liked Batman, get over it.

If you wanna like the movie, fine. I seriously don't care. All I'm asking people to do is fucking justify it.

Christ, you've mastered making a mountain out of a molehill.

I'm just a brain dead cinema monkey who's more focused on Batman being Batman.

lol

Well, at least you admitted it.

See, for me, I had to watch the movie a second time because I was so torn on it during my first viewing. On the one hand, I had a LOT of problems with it, being a bit of a movie buff and all. But on the other hand, this new Batman and Henry Cavill's Superman are the best version of either characters we've ever had on the big screen, and for the first time, they're side by side, going at it. A part of me just got so giddy when either of them were visible, so I understand the impulse to give it a higher rating then it probably deserves.

When I see a Marvel movie, I'm kinda like "Oh, awesome. That's a cool character we just happen to call Captain America." But when I saw this movie, I'm like "Oh, that's Batman and Superman. That's them, they're not actors." It was awesome.

Considering the main focus on the movie is the conflict between the two heroes, I don't find it a problem to see Luthor setting the stages of the other conflicts both in this film and the next one.

I have a few theories on how they could "fix" their mistakes with him here. He's in prison at the end of the movie, they could very easily say "Prison changed him" and he becomes the Luthor we all know and love in the next film.

Just wish they could've gotten it right on the first go. Oh well.

If having an actual conversation means bitching about anyone giving it more than a 6/10, then sure you are.

I'm asking him to justify his rating while poking fun at him a little because I think his opinion is laughable. All while still being civil about it.

Take your sensitivity somewhere else, fuck.
