I'm going to get to boo Uwe Boll live.

Montreal has a festival coming over the summer, Fantasia, which is pretty much a festival of independent/exploitation/B-movies.

And Dungeon Siege and Postal will both have their world premieres at that festival, with Uwe Boll attending in person.

And I'm going to be there.

    Aww, but that means you're actually going to have to attend those premieres, and see those movies. Still, great opportunity.

    Man, I may not like the guy, but he works hard, and comes up with the budget for all of his movies himself. He deserves more respect than that, even if he rapes beloved franchises.

    You should know that Fantasia is a festival that basically only gamers, otakus and Internet nerds attend. The most conservative estimate I can think of is that he'll have at least a full soda thrown in his face and be called the antichrist.

    Both times.

    He doesn't work hard. Putting video game footage in a movie is just lazy.

    So your going to go waste money to go to some festival for movies just to boo someone who made movies you don't like?

    Sounds juvenile.

    It's good to see your using your time well while people are starving to death on the other side of the world.

    But video game franchises are important too. So, good on ya.

    The hero and protagonist, whose story the book follows, is the aptly-named Hiro Protagonist: "Last of the freelance hackers and Greatest sword fighter in the world." When Hiro loses his job as a pizza delivery driver for the Mafia, he meets a streetwise young girl nicknamed Y.T. (short for Yours Truly), who works as a skateboard "Kourier", and they decide to become partners in the intelligence business.

    I kind of thought that was a dash of sarcasm.

    Well, if the weapons were of superior craftsmanship, at least you could say he had a talent. Boll's more like a murderer who has to try 8 or 9 times because the weapon he crafted just failed miserably and he had to resort to beating someone to death with it.

    Like Jack Thompson. Only he's still failing to kill it with his makeshift club.

    I'd nearly call that sig worthy, but I had having to use a spoiler tag.

    Honestly though, it is his job. I mean... if I could make shitty movies I would.. Better then Dairy Queen...

    I'd rather make shitty movies than work at Fry's. At least I'd get to hang around hot actresses. All I get now are old women looking for Matlock DVDs.

    It's a pretty screwed up thing to say, but damn - compared to the Columbine kids or other school shootings, the VT guy was mighty handy with a gun.

    I'd agree, but he DID kind of abuse a loop hole that essentially made the movies free to make so long as they sucked terribly.

    Or something like that.
    Man what. Why does that even matter?
    He was mocking the logic that someone who does something terrible should be COMMENDED for what they've done that's good.

    "Hitler was a great leader who got Germany out of tough times" does not make "He tried to eradicate the Jewish race" alright.

    And no that's not Godwin'ing for fuck sake.
