The new front end on the XBOX360 (that got rammed down my throat tonight before I could watch a movie) is cute and seems like it might be fun. Much like the first 5 minutes of The Sims. Unfortunately, unlike the Sims, there’s nothing to DO with the character/avatar thingie you just created.
Watched the Incredible Hulk ’08 tonight. Pretty good. Fun. Silly. Explodey. Ed Norton managed to put a little bit of acting in there, and Liv Tyler managed to keep her lips from pulling all the light out of the room. There were only a few things (clap out a chopper-fuel fire?) that happened that were along the lines of what made a bunch of engineers and artists at Relic get into a “that wouldn’t work†fight in email.
Seriously. That argument was a lot of fun to watch. It was due to the commercial for the film that came out in 2002, and in that commercial, a tank is picked up the gun barrel and then flung into the distance. People were arguing that it was impossible for anyone (even Der Hulkminsterfuller) to throw a tank by the barrel like that. It would shear off, one side of the argument said. You’re forgetting about centripetal force, the other side said. Gotta love any email thread with “centripetal” in it.
