Gravity has a 2 star rating on Netflix. To people who saw it; Was that warranted?
No
People complained because of the plot being too unbelievable
But other than that it was an extremely well crafted movie with tension and good action
However, I don't recommend you stream it because this is one of those movies you need to experience in the theater
Although, I should mention that it has the worst science out of all three of the films in question. One particularly obvious one if you know something as simple as which way the Earth spins.
Gravity had the better science than most films out there but people bashed on it for having bad science
Wtf
>.> the bad science was kind of noticeable, like George Clooney going out for a fun jetpack ride in space (you don't just go into space to have fun), and debris flying in the wrong direction. But I still enjoyed it more than I thought I would going in. Story was good, those continuous shots were glorious, and the CG was otherwise balls-to-the-wall amazing.

UPDATE: It's done! See the poll. Calling all liberals! The Democrats are also running for President, you know! And they're also having a debate! The suspects: Shillary Clit-on Barnie "Dank Memes" Sandlers Martin O'Malley (I think he hosted Nick GUTS once) Jim Webb (literally who?) Abraham Lincoln Chafee (bankrupted his state of Rhode Island by investing in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning) In all seriousness though, this is the debate everyone forgot about until yesterday. The GOP field, as much of a spectacle as it is, has absorbed most of the 2016 hype. Bernie Sanders may have a good shot at upstaging Hillary Clinton, and if Clinton under-performs, it may pave the way to VP Joe Biden announcing his late entry for the presidency. The stakes aren't as entertainingly high as the GOP race, but it still has a good shot at reshaping the Democratic primary field, which is the one good reason to bother watching it. I'm expecting a snooze-fest otherwise. >.> On a related note, Donald Trump's twitter literally posted a Pepe today.

>story being bad makes a bad game
No.
In a story-based franchise? Yes.
50% of the game being bad is still a bad game.
controls, sound effects, audio processing, original soundtrack, licensed soundtrack, modeling, texturing, lighting, menus, text, subtitles, weapon stats, weapon balance, currency mechanics, boss fights, complex AI behavior, AI pathfinding, staff member stats, stealth mechanics, physics, animations, HUD, third-person camera, first-person camera, general voice acting, mission structure, among others. story is not "50% of the game"

It's funny that the mods who were all for strict moderation and less shitposting are the inconsistent mods who like to blame things on "You voted for strict moderation." in a shady as shit poll. A poll that was literally redone till they got the results they wanted.
Fact check: The most recent moderation poll was restarted because someone dun goof'd the poll settings. Voting results were made visible when they shouldn't have been, yet, anyway, and there was no way to change that without creating a new poll/thread.

Cube World and Routine are the two indie games I'm most hyped for, and seemingly on the brink of becoming vaporware at any moment ._.

We've had an annual (major release) space film three years in a row now, starting with Gravity in 2013, then Interstellar in 2014, and recently The Martian this year.
It begs the question: Which one is the best?

My own thoughts: Uh, yeah, like, pumping more money into mental health isn't going to solve the problem that you can't force people to seek help, and that some folks like Seung-Hui Cho or James Holmes are loners who aren't going to have someone else report or refer them to mental health services. And they're sure as hell not going to think "hey, I'm not doing so well, I should seek help." If they cared about their own safety or that of others, or were able to do so, they would not have done what they did. And making 'more beds' in psych wards is only going to put more pressure on an already overburdened health care industry (more spending isn't going to solve the problem of simply lacking enough manpower as is), and probably result in frivolous diagnoses, similarly to the prison industry and mass incarceration, because some places are only in it for the money, and more occupied beds = more profits. Less than 3% to 5% of all US crimes involve people with mental illness, and the percentages of those crimes actually involving guns is lower than the national average of these crimes commited by people without a mental illness.
I call bullshit; something like half of the prisoners in the US (or globally) have ASPD.
Erm, got a source for that? I'm inclined to believe that the US' ginormous incarceration rate might make that untrue, but don't quote me on that, figuratively speaking.

It's two huge logical jumps to assume that 1) aliens would be more advanced than us, and 2) that traveling long distances of space, such as with light speed or another means, is even possible. Among others.
I don't think so.
We've only been around for a couple hundred thousand years. Supposed aliens have had such an enormous headstart.
For all we know, they've all died before they could even get that far. Alas, all we can do is speculate.

My problem with that thinking is that we have 1 confirmed planet with life out of 8/9. That's hardly a sufficient sample size.
It's like asking 9 friends who they're voting for, and 8 of them say Jeb Bush, and then taking that information and assuming that Jeb will have a landslide victory against Hillary Clinton. A good sample size tells us that it's clearly not the case. The universe has been around for over 13 billion years.
If there's aliens, I'd think they'd have found us first.

Nonexistent, as far as I'd logically be able to guess.
how do you figure?
I haven't seen an alien, and there's no real evidence that they exist, so it would be silly to assume that they do just because "muh expanding univese". In the same way that it would be silly to assume that there's a god or something.
There's philosophical quandaries such as the Fermi paradox, as well, that I've yet to see an adequate solution for.

Sort of relevant here: every religion has its own shittiness-sanctioned-by-god. Why did plenty of other religions put much of that behind them, except for Islam?
I have an easier time believing that it's because the Middle East (well, to be more specific, most practitioners of the faith) hasn't had the kinds of societal advancement as other parts of the world have experienced, as opposed to it being intrinsic to Islam itself. (Religion and culture are intertwined and influence each other, after all.)
But then, that still doesn't explain why some Westerners will convert and change their views, unless grown adults are more impressionable than I realize.

I can't play for more than two rounds in one sitting. The balance is awful, the spawn killing worse, and with the wonky aiming on top of all that, I get annoyed with it and can't enjoy it.
Really, the turret and AT-AT aiming is waaaay too sensitive with a mouse, but lowering the sensitivity makes flying really stiff. On the ground, Y-Axis with gamepad is a lot speedier than X-Axis, so that throws me off, too. I don't like having to fight the controls just to aim competently.
Has the PC community really not figured out how to win as the rebels yet? It's gotten to the point where I actually kind of enjoy playing as the rebels more due to what feels like an uphill race against time to win.
A little bit. One guy actually mentioned having an orbital strike and other players told him to save it for the walker, so he did. We had done a rather good job at keeping both of the link things so we had plenty of Y-Wings, too. But usually it's very one-sided in favor of the Empire.

This game, man
pretty much my main problems with the game >.>
And that the DLT-90 and Jetpack are clearly superior to most of the other loadout options.
Jetpack, yes. However, I have yet to understand what's so good about the DLT, although I always get killed by it. Really, all the guns can kill in a second or less.
Rate of fire gives it a better time-to-kill, AFAIK.
