    one small advantage of pg13 movies is you get less of the 80s-action-movie requirements of throwing in some boobs for no apparent reason and with no connection to the plot.

    Like sometimes so obvious as the main character just happens to pass by a topless poster on the wall (in a context where even the poster being there is pretty weird).

    I think you meant to say 'disadvantage.'

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    not really no. I mean when boobs are just thrown in with no regard for context it comes accross as pandering and annoying. And it seems like all 80s movies that got an R felt they just had to make the most of it.

    Also they had the extra disadvantage of 80s Big Hair. Which can cancel out nearly any amount of hotness.

    oh sweet zombie jesus just take my monies. TAKE THEM!

    edit: windows 8. Compatable with older windows apps (it's a real grownup OS on a tablet! not something repurposed from a phone!). Available with physical keyboards or not. A hell of a lot of cpu / ram compared to android or ipad tablets. Not tied to some proprietary bullshit for connectivity (usb ports!).

    But does the OS look like not-crap yet?

    I will admit that Aliens benefitted greatly from having zero gratuitous nudity. No matter how many times I wanted that claw to slip a tiny bit and tear off Ripley's paper thin tank top, it was a better movie for not giving in to me.

    Ryze is stupid good because he's the only character in the entire game that can build like he does, and he ends up being an AP carry that does good damage while being super tough to kill.

    So the answer is no. Blargh.

    It's probably a fantastic OS but it looks chunky and confusing. Aesthetics matter, dammit.

    I'm reminded of the scene in Commando where Ahnold is fighting a dude at a hotel and they crash through a wall into a room with a couple fucking in it.

    Obviously, the protagonist would have suffered vis-a-vis his character development had not those rude titties been present!

    or in Die Hard he is climbing through the air ducts and there is a poster of a naked chick on the wall in background for no apparent reason.

    I know this scene! It completely took me out of the movie! I could not then determine if Arnold was a Commando out to save his kidnapped daughter, or some sort of depraved sex addict.

    Several illegitimate children later, the answer became clearer!

    I don't recall it having them either, but would bet on them being in the "I'd buy that for a dollar!" and "Bitches, leave!" scenes in order to both depict Detroit as a place of loose moral virtues and then the villain as a guy who has no time for bitches.

    The win8 aesthetic looks like it will work fine on tablets.

    The problem here is that Microsoft thinks that one GUI is all you need for four different interface devices (touchscreen phone, KB+M, tablet, Xbox controller) and the truth of the matter is that only two of those interfaces benefitted from metro.

    I've heard they do, but I've only ever played riven since they were enabled so I'm probably used to it. I think with range indicators on it makes her leap go more like nidalee, which I'm used to anyway. Do you normally target things with her Q or does she just dash forward, because she totally just dashes forward with them on from what I've seen.

    nudity whatever no a big deal

    action movies have been totally ruined by the PG13 rating because it's lead to epileptic monkey editing and super shaky cams to cover up the violence. to the point where you can't even tell whats happening half the damn time.

    Yeah. Used to be people making action films had balls, and were more than willing to show people getting fucked up by violence.

    Braveheart would have been PG-13 had it been made today, the one scene of tasteful nudity would have been removed, and all the battles would have been made shakycam and terrible.
