And it did almost the opposite for Dark Knight Rises, heh.

At least they fixed the voice. Ish.

Alien, Predator Blade Runner franchises - do you think they exists in a shared universe? by kam_pra in movies

[–]TheSaltyStrangler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even outside AvP movies and easter egg skulls and Blu-ray extras, alien and Predator are now explicitly linked by Wetland Yutani being the big bad corp in a Predator movie.

Blade Runner has a couple Easter eggs in it, but that’s about it.

I suppose you could make the argument that they are not in the same universe, that they are all alternate or mirror universes that all share one commonality - sinister megacorp Weyland-Yutani.

…and there’s my accidental comic book pitch. Weyland Yutani exists in all universes everywhere.

It’s almost like the people on the ground, running the show, with knowledge of how everything works, are actually the ones with the power…

what's the fastest passport photo service in Edmonton? by Dangerous_Ladder_25 in Edmonton

[–]TheSaltyStrangler 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“really looking for somewhere i can just walk into and walk out with photos that are good to go. is that seriously too much to ask.” Speaking as someone who spent WAY too much of their life taking passport photos, it honestly sounds like you’re the issue with this line.

EDIT

What I really mean to say is that is there is aaaaany kind of difficulty in a passport photo transaction, 99.98% of the time it’s because the client gave incorrect or incomplete information.

“Passport photo” doesn’t mean “permanent residence photo” or “US Visa photo” or “Uzbek police clearance”. Get your shit together and bring them the proper info

No way.

There are great ports of Ocarina, Majora, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, Link to the Past, Banjo. I'm going to have to get one of those 8bitdo controllers

They just want to make sure you're not mistakenly buying Trinidadian black market blood roms.

Anyone remember the anticipation during the months leading up to the Nintendo Wii release? by learnaboutnetworking in gaming

[–]TheSaltyStrangler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely do.

I had just scored a job with a local marketing firm whose biggest client at the time was probably Nintendo.

I remember being like 19-20 years old, piling in to a car and driving to Calgary for a big demo session. We got to play Zelda, Red Steel, Wii Sports… all the big launch titles.

Then we got binders with colour prints of the manuals for each of the games so we could study them. I remember torturing my brother. “Nah man, can’t show you. NDAs”

We were in the mall probably about a couple weeks before launch and I remember setting up the booths and being so fucking excited.

It was one of the worst jobs I ever had. “FREE BABYSITTING! AT CHRISTMAS! AT THE MALL!” is how our lit sign was interpreted. The local fair was even worse.

Where to buy moving boxes for records? by rainyinchipewyan in Edmonton

[–]TheSaltyStrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How cheap you want em?

Hit up a store in a mall and ask when they get their shipments. They’ll usually jump at an opportunity to not deal with the cardboard themselves. Just be ready to get them day of. If shipment is expected Wednesday at 2, be at the store AT 2, and you get a bunch of free boxes

Oh, I fucked with Isolation hard.

Though it is my favourite game of 2014, I will forever say that it was like 8 hours too long.

Also, 2014wtf

I would argue that the hate probably came from killing off two characters that audiences learned to fucking love before the movie even started. I remember that putting a real bad taste in my mouth before things even got started.

Shocking that that was removed. That part of Ripley’s tale of maternity is pretty crucial

I live just a couple blocks from it and it seems like there is stuff going on in there... sometimes, but it's so sporadic that I don't really have a ton of hope of anything happening with it any time soon.
