Mass Deduction (née scrapking)'s discussions

Are you high? This is a serious question. In what universe is an 8/10 a poor rating? 8/10 says the reviewer loved the game, but just a little less than you. Read more

I agree completely. When I'm interested in a game, I'll often go to gamerankings.com and read the highest-rated and lowest-rated review of the game, ignoring all in between. If you do that for a game such as, say, "Postal 2" you'd swear they were different games. It's a practice that has often served me well, as… Read more

Loved Turrican on the Commodore 64, and love my Dreamcast, so I'm likely going to pick this up. Wonderful to see new Dreamcast content being commercially released fully 13 years after the Japanese launch (12 years after the North American launch). Read more

The original Halo didn't have boss fights, and is widely seen to have one of (if not the very) best campaigns of the entire series. Read more

What are you talking about? I've been using one since it came out and have found it to be rock-solidly reliable. I love the D-Pad (usually use it in the "+" position rather than the disc, so I'm not chaning it frequently). Read more

"You've seen what Hollywood did to Godzilla, right?" Read more

The key in these kinds of comparisons is that, whether for technical reasons or for economic reasons, there is (and looks never to be) a clear winner between the 360 and PS3 in regards to whose games look better (on balance). Read more

Depends on *which* 360 controller you have. The ones with the transforming D-pad solve the 360 controller's only problem, IMO. Read more

Reminds me of GMR magazine giving Postal 2 a 0/10 (yes zero out of ten) review. Read more

I was surprised to learn that there were slight differences between the original theatrical release, laser disc release, VHS release, television release, etc. And all of that was long before any of the special editions. Read more

Obviously Hamill and Conroy are from Batman: The Animated Series, but does anyone happen to know if any of the others the voice actors from Batman: TAS? Read more

From Wikipedia: "Batman: The Animated Series featured a strong musical score written by several different composers throughout the course of the series. The main theme of the show, which was heard during the opening and ending credits of each episode, was composed by Danny Elfman. At first, Elfman turned down Bruce… Read more

The best application I can think of for this technology is for interactive displays (such as in museums). Read more

We have a winner! Read more

"Danny Elfman's Theme from Tim Burton's Batman Remains the most Iconic of all the Batman themes. There's just no denying it - the five-note motif still defines the Bat," Read more

Why didn't you just play inverted in Halo like the rest of us old-school gamers? I can't play anything but inverted for any kind of 3D game whatsoever. Read more

"Kare Log ("Boyfriend Log") launched, allowing girlfriends to track smartphone GPS data" Read more

When did it get renamed?! And for that matter, why? Read more

I haven't played Halo:CE in a while, but I thought the D-Pad had other utility in the game. Read more
