Another good PS3 thing is downloadable PS1 games.

5 bucks to check out cool old shit like Crash and Spyro will slowly sneak up and kill your wallet.

on the topic of awesome kung-fu movies, if any of you have never seen Legend of Drunken Master, watch it. Like, right now.

As in this minute

it is so so good, probably my favorite jackie chan movie ever, so many great fight scenes. also, the redub into english is hilariously awesome

lostwords

Yah the ps1 classics is awesome, especially if you have a psp as well. Waiting for ff9 to show up, even though I still have my ps1 copy.

One awesome thing about the ps3 is that you can hook up an external hard drive and play movies and music from it, takes most movie formats like xvid and h264. I use my ps3 as my streaming porn station

The PS3 is also great if you'd want to store music on it. You can just plug in your iPod and copy everything over. I also have a few movies saved. Just transfer what you want from a USB drive. You can do the same with game saves.

There are really so many things that are done better than the 360 does them, it's a shame that games usually turn out looking or performing just a tad better on the 360.

I would only be playing PS3 exclusives (i.e. Heavy Rain) on it. My 360 is in the office for gaming.

You mean Drunken Master II, right?

here's another rant:
I hate printing out huge excel sheets. the reason we made this as an excel file is because it is not a stupid word document and the info is easily presented in a spreadsheet. why are you making me muck up the formatting so you can have a hard time reading it on 8.5x11?

NotASenator

Start at 7:55 on this one:

and continue into this one for what a truly great fight scene looks like

EDIT: Watch until he gets back on the train.

Man, I wouldn't go if someone snubbed me out of the reception, fuck that guy.

I think she's keeping it amongst family and super-close friends. Otherwise I would have been invited.

Although that does imply that she thinks less of me than some of her other friends.

Wow, who knew an invitation to a wedding could be such a backhanded compliment?

"Bring me a present, but then leave as soon as possible"

The Lovely Bastard

look everyone knows the greatest kung fu movie of all time is master of the flying guillotine

The best fight scene:

Metzger Meister

tony jaa is fucking awesome.

that movie makes no goddamn sense, but he's still awesome.

Dog

it would be so much better if I could just play the PS1 games I own instead of having to download them again


Although I guess that's why I have a PS2

I'm trying to find a clip of that movie where a dude catches a bullet but it is not happening so just pretend I did and escalate accordingly

lostwords

May be nsfw for dildos used in a fight and really bad Spanish dubbing for no reason

Here you go

I'm going to rant that I was supposed to see my girlfriend after she was done work today.

But she has too much homework and so I spend the evening alone.

Mysst

hmm, whatever that video format is, joe, my computer doesn't like it

I bet you found it, though! were the dudes kinda glowy?

Well it's a balding white guy shooting a black guy, and the black guy falls. Then he reveals the bullet in his teeth, and it's glowy. Other parts of the movie have one super glowy red guy.

It seems like a good time to make some headway on my massive backlog of both television shows and video games.

And jerking it.

Go to about the 4:50 mark here

Now that you're not busy fucking your girlfriend, you can make some headway on all that time you missed jerking it

Mysst

Ha, yes, that was totally it Joe

Cold Salmon and Hatred

I didn't have internet for all of last night and it really made me realize holy shit I rely on the internet a lot

Drew-B

I was talking to my boss yesterday about how my internet was out for an evening not long ago. We both agreed that they might as well turn off the fucking power for all we care. Can't get worse than no internet.

Cold Salmon and Hatred

the problem was the previous person who lived here paid for all the internet/cable and the dude who owns the house forgot to switch it into his name

it got cut off at a perfect time too, I wanted to watch the hockey game and study for my programming test (all the notes are online) but NOPE

redhead

i haven't had internet access (aside from this shiity phone) for just over a month now

it's p bad

Cold Salmon and Hatred

oh god, a month would kill me

redhead

at one point my cell phone died, my bike had a flat, both cars were in use, and our home phone service was under repair and unfunctioning (and we no longer get either internet or tv)

and i was like, this is it

i am in the stone ages for the next eight hours, cut off from the world until the mailman arrives

NotASenator

We had the power go off for about eight hours, which was relatively short in comparison to other times, so Leanna and I invited neighbors over, got a fire going and played scrabble.

You're a madman. Dealing with the situation? You're supposed to sit in the darkness, lamenting the world.
