Here are the Highest-Grossing Films:

Avatar (2009): 2 Billion+
Titanic (1997?): 1 billion+
HP7: Part 2 (2011): 1 billion+


My personal fav is Toy Story 3, which was the fifth highest-grossing film last year.

Eh Tokyo, I think Fuelbi is gonna have more support than ya at this point, sorry bro.

Anyway, I cannot wait for MGS: HD Collections as well, 1st day buy for me, and getting UMvC3 the following week as well along with Rayman Origins. :3c

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Haha Omega that was my plan as well. It is going to be nice to play MGS again.

 

[O D I N]

@Tokyo: okay, no problem. I didn't have my first drink until I was 21 either.

Too many favorite movies. Boondock Saints is on the list for sure. True Lies. Predator. Commando. Princess Bride. Princess Mononoke. Shaun of the Dead. Hot Fuzz. Memphis Belle. TopGun. Blackhawk Down. Talladega Nights. Anchorman. Goldeneye. Terminator movies. Not the newest. Didn't see that.

And many more.

It sure is, I also just found out that Tekken Hybrid will be released on Nov.22nd which will have Tekken TT in HD and TTT2 Prelude, another game I wasn't expecting but am now going to get.

As for movies....not really a big movie guy, only when it happens to be related to either video games or anime/manga in general, although some exceptions are Scarface, Training Day, Streets of Blood and The Mask.

Edit- I like that the "Last Edited by:" thing is hidden, everyone should do so as well.

Roger Ebert makes it look like the movies are too good yet most of what he says is expected to be good.

I stopped caring about Roger Ebert's opinion the second he spouted off the nonsense that video games aren't an art form. An artist draws a picture, it's art. It becomes a concept piece for a video game and is eventually rendered in 3-D as a setpiece. Suddenly, it's not art? Uh, no. Doesn't work that way.

Hideo Kojima said the same thing: Video games are not art.

I think it's kinda funny personally.

Art vs. non-art is one of the dumbest and most pointless debates in all of human history. Roger Ebert is not dumb for having that opinion, but he sure is dumb for engaging in dialogue about it with rabid video gamers for months at a time.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

I play games to play games, not to appreciate them as art.

Good graphics? That's nice. Good music? Also nice. Stylish art design? Neat.

But at the end of the day, I'm playing a game because it's fun to play. Who cares if it's art? :V

 

[Fuelbi]

>Stylish art design
>Games aren't art

wat

 

[O D I N]

:sees argument about video games being art or not:

 

[Luigitoilet]

anyways. Saints Row 3 is proof that games are art.

 

[ZIO]

Saying video games isn't a form of art is like saying pens aren't a form of medium.

 

[choknater]

haha yeah seriously

how do you think people come up with characters

they have to draw a picture

(let alone model, rig, and program the interactions and physics of that character)

and that's just 1 character

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Megaman X is one of my favorite games.

 

[Vinylic.]

Guys, there's a new wii model I saw on gamestop.

It doesn't play Gamecube games anymore. I think they're putting them on Wii Shop Channel soon.

Is this old?

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Just like these slim PS3s that don't read PS3 and PS2 games anymore...hate that...

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

That's very old.

And they wouldn't/couldn't put Gamecube games onto Wii Shop Channel anyway

 

[Vinylic.]

But what about the Wii-U?

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

It could very well happen.

But whooooo knooooooows

 

[Vinylic.]

Well, I'm looking foward to buy every game for it in one bag.

Darkstalkers 2 goes first.
Sonic Dimensions goes second.
