At this point if M. Night Shyamalan wants to write a twist ending that would surprise me then he'd be best off just not writing a twist into the script.
I kind of assume he starts with the twist ending, then moves on to the author insertion character, then shits out the rest over a day or two.
Signs makes me so angry. So angry. He could have done something good there. Perhaps a bit overly thick on the emotion but still a satisfying movie but the twist is so fucking retarded that I want Zombie Phillip K. Dick to rise from his grave and bitch slap M. Night until he understands how to do a proper twist ending.
It's seems like going to a place where 70% of its surface area will kill you is a bit stupid.
The sequel should have a lone human on their ship, hunting them.
With a squirt gun.
I was going more for a acid for blood = Alien reference.

So what do you guys think makes a good gaming stream? Personally, I usually find them boring, but sometimes my narcissistic side kicks in and...
well, anyway, back to the question at hand. Obviously I've heard "good commentary" is necessary, which makes sense. But what is good commentary? Is it deep analysis of the mechanics at play? For that matter, should the streamer already have deep knowledge of the game itself?
Or is it more like a showey sort of thing? Should there be lots of jokes, or are those just annoying?
You mean for a let's play or the like? Or just a show about gaming?

One of the later Saw movies actually did this
Summon Phillip K. Dick back from the dead so he can punish M. Night Shyamalan? Because that seems like an odd direction for the series.
Ended without a tweest
Given the twists are the draw of the series to some folks, it was surprising to say the least.
It was good looking too, as Saw movies go - no flash cuts or shakey cam, the traps were all fairly tame in comparison, and the victims were intelligent folks who thought things through before flipping out and pulling a pin on a 60 second timer.
But no tweest so it's the worst of the series, obviously.

Definitely more along the lines of a let's play.
I dunno. I find most of them pretty boring. Not just trusting to the natural wit of the commentator and preparing a bunch of interesting shit to say beforehand would set you above like 90% of the competition. I could also do without herp derping in the MST3K fashion because god that's tedious.
I don't think I'm your target demographic, though.
Just a guy talking over a game seems kinda boring, even when done well.
I say it works better with two people. No 'dead air' and one can play of the other.

That Lestrade's boss was unaware of the depth of Sherlock's involvement in crime solving in London is a bit much given the opening scenes of people saying how instrumental Sherlock was to solving crimes.
I'm getting a bit annoyed at people that proclaim to not be knowledgeable about X, pride themselves in their disinterest in X and still try to discuss the qualities (or lack there of to be more precise) of X and make suggestions about these "dumb" or "archaic" designs.
Currently the thread for todays comic but it is a pretty general thing that crops up with just about anything that reaches the status of popular.

I think, for every racist joke Lud tells, I will say something about his wife.
that ain't cool
and neither is racism
I've hit backspace on this post a lot. Not because I've wanted to be nasty or anything. Quite the opposite. If I've offended you deeply, I apologize, but at the same time, I have kind of gotten to the point where I feel like people get me a bit better than this. Perhaps if you were someone unfamiliar with me, I'd be beside myself with regret. But, I don't know man. Seems kind of funny to go from 0-60 on me.

I thought of that but the sheer comedy value of him with a squirt gun to an alien's head going:
" I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six ounces or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a super cheap squirt gun, perhaps the cheapest in the world, and would melt your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
Especially if it's one of those dollar store squirt guns.

I would watch/play a movie/game that reverses genres like this so hard.
You're an alien and have come across a ship that's been ravaged, and human death squads come in to hunt you. Because fuck you, aliens.
No one specific thing is necessary to make a let's play good, but if you're focusing on good commentary, I think there are ideal forms of commentary that you could either aim towards or synthesize together
You could be really, really good at video games and be relatively taciturn, speaking only when necessary. You could be funny and talkative and just enjoy the heck out of whatever you're doing. You could just flat out be knowledgeable and informative, showing off easter eggs and explaining various themes etc etc
IMO the best mix of commentary styles is the second and third. You don't want to be too weirdly enthusiastic like Nintendo Capri Sun and lisp all over the mic in a weird attempt to ingratiate yourself to the audience, but you don't also want to sound like a robot that's read one too many strategy guides

From all of the descriptions I've seen of her, she seems like a nice person. No reason to say something hurtful about her.

Ludious: "Eskimos."
Vanguard: "Ludious' wife cooks decent Tex Mex."

I will only watch if Phillipe is voiced by Morgan Freeman.
...I might not know a lot about child birth.

Upper Management, amirite?
So out of touch.
They don't know what it's like down here.
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
Everything that came along after that is less "hardcore" and more "what you get when you don't allow for anything else".

Is racism infractable here? I don't think I've ever seen anything but the most egregious examples enforced, at least.
like if RPS had a youtube channel
In the liberal dystopic future the punishment for this will be 9,000 hereditary years of indentured servitude to a brown person.
