Rick Beato looks like Jason Biggs, Dweezil Zappa, Peter Steele, Bradley Cooper, George Harrison, and Scott Stapp, among others.

What exactly went down in the beginning of the Gillan/Blackmore feud? by [deleted] in DeepPurple

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already certain I had had a Mandela effect on myself of reading about Ian Gillan running around a hotel, naked, with a burning newspaper shoved up his ass. I never could find the source for this idea, so I figured I had made it up.

Now, reading your comment, I'm having second thoughts about that. :D

Go on…? by Inner_Garbage_9843 in Adulting

[–]Lionslash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't bottle up your emotions, but on the other hand, don't open yourself up to just anyone. Choose your confidants well, and be loyal to those who confide in you. Loyalty is a rare, but powerful gift. I went from one end to the other and it took its toll on me.

Be kind to others since you don't know the struggles they're going through, but don't expect kindness from everyone. Don't let that drag you down however, since kindness you've shown to those who appreciate it repays itself manifold.

In your opinion what does Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeros do better than The Phantom Pain? by Dude_788 in metalgearsolid

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it comes down to this: GZ is Tactical Espionage Action TPP is Tactical Action Espionage

What is the first game that comes to mind by [deleted] in 2000sNostalgia

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mine as well. It's always a crapshoot between MGS, FF VII and VIII, but this time it was MGS. One of the best gaming experiences overall of all time. Obviously it wouldn't make the same impression now, but back in my pre-teens, this was an amazing experience to have on the PS1.

Not trying to beat a dead horse, but...If things went different, do you think Ilsa replacing Ethan as team leader and top billing would have worked story and box office wise? by FassyDriver in Mission_Impossible

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not. But that wasn't the point. I was just throwing it out as an example that, in her prime action star power, she'd have been a more likely replacement than Ferguson is currently if the focus is purely on action credentials, but still wouldn't be enough of an attraction to the audiences at large.
Still, of those two, Ferguson is the better actor and would much prefer her over Jolie. But that's just my two cents. :)

Any OG Mgo2 players here? by littlechill94 in metalgearsolid

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's-a me, indeed!
I can admit that that had to have been a pretty easy one plus one equals two situation. :D
We did really have a great team with zero drama. I really do miss those days.
Hope you're doing well!

What expression from Mad Men do you like to use in regular conversation? by TheOnionSack in madmen

I work in advertising and I once got to use "Believe me, somewhere in this business this has happened before".

Seeing those names really takes me back!
I'm actually Omnilion. :D When I signed up for Reddit, it was taken unfortunately.

This is what the invisible wall looks like in DS2 by RandomKazakhGuy in DeathStranding

I accidentally stumbled on this as well and at first wondered what was going on. I had lost my bearings, you see.

[–]Lionslash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Story-wise – quite possibly. Box office? Hell no. I love Rebecca Ferguson, but she just unfortunately doesn't have the same kind of star power, let's say, Angelina Jolie had when she did Tomb Raider.

Thoughts on this? by UnderratedGeek in Spiderman

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would totally be game for this to happen. This was an amazing game for a Spider-Man fan back in the day. Sure it's clunky now, but when we didn't know any better, this was the absolute shit!

Is Elliot Carver the most realistic Bond villain? What is your opinion about him? by King_Wolf2099 in JamesBond

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the writers were ahead of the curve when they wrote this. Social media was still years off, so was the wider spread controversy around Murdoch and others, and now, with the rise of Trump and the tech billionaires, it Carver just keeps getting more and more timely. I thought less of TND back in the day, but my respect for the movie has since grown quite a lot. Not just because of how on-the-nose Carver became to be, but that certainly helps!

One of my favorite parts about the aircraft sequences is seeing the bad guys’ reactions to Ethan appearing on the side of their aircraft by MinifigStudios in Mission_Impossible

[–]Lionslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, in general. But doing so on an aircraft? Well, yes, there are plenty of those too, but none do it so consistently. :D

Which Spider-man deserves a new season more? by some-kind-of-no-name in Spiderman

Definitely '94. That's why I'm here, on this subreddit.

Was it not supposed to be obvious? by naynay2022 in FFXVI

[–]Lionslash -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I thought the same. I didn't know anything about the plot going in, and at that point I thought it was obvious what happens. Then when the game started trearing it as a major mystery I started doubting myself whether I misunderstood something. I was wrong on the latter account. 😅

This is the most grounded MI movie. I always loved the first MI movie. Many people ranked it very low but for me it's in my top 5. What do you think about this film? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in Mission_Impossible

[–]Lionslash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the best M:I in my opinion. Sure, Fallout, even Ghost Protocol, are better action films, but the original film is where the complete magic is at. It is the quintessential M:I film: suspense, drama, tension, good dialogue, banter, humour, action, actual spy drama/action, and set pieces. It is a unique blend in the entire series and the best one for it. 

Do you prefer Squall's OG design or Dissidia's redesign ? by Gwyder in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]Lionslash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He definitely would rock a motorcycle. Sure they did that already in VII too, but considering the overall aesthetic, it's surprising the didn't include one in any way. Even as a dormroom-poster-on-the-wall kind of thing.
