well put. at no point throughout the movie did i feel any sense of urgency or real danger....
Well, ACTUALLY
give his a read. it would have been a much worthy successor...
The trailer showed Neo stopping bullets with his mind. In the trailer.
That was supposed to be the shock and awe moment that tied it all together.
There should be a new category.... Spoiler Trailer.
Just got done reading this. You're right, what an amazing story.
I'm glad they released all this material, because *this* is chock-full of useful info....
I remember creating/modifying Doom & Doom 2 levels/WAD files back in the day. After playing with the graphics and music, I came across that weird sound byte that plays when you get to the last level of Doom (or Doom 2, maybe?)...It's the one where you have to fire rockets from an elevated platform across the room into an opening.
I took that sound byte and reversed it....to find probably one of the most cleverly-hidden easter eggs. It ended up saying "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero"
Good times....
Funny that ebola has been in existence in the modern world since the 70s, yet only now this is coming to light. Oddly enough, this is perfectly timed with someone in the US getting infected.

I remember reading this in an IRC channel many many moons ago. It went something like this....
A: This college app is asking me all these questions. Like "Why do I want to attend this school?"
B: Answer with: "Because you got a phat pipe that I can use to download warez, porn, and MP3s."
all of our awesome jokes will need to be updated to keep up with the times!!

somehow I landed a subscription to Country Woman, GQ, and Black Enterprise, without ever remembering how I got signed up for them.
I'd love to see the marketing drones trying to analyze my household's demographic based on that.
Back in the day, we used Lynx.
and that's the way we liked it.
Now get off my lawn. (this comment will be superseded by someone with a lower Slashdot ID in 3..2....1......)
i really REALLY don't get this obsession with linking violent video games to violent behavior. Take yours truly:
Born in 1980, I played all the big titles: From Wolfenstein, Doom, Solider of Fortune, to whatever latest titles are out (I can't remember what all the Call of Duty flavors are called, but you get the idea). Hell, I even designed Doom and Half-Life levels based on my old high school (shit, don't tell anyone or they'll come after me next!!!)
At some point in my 20s, I joined the Marines for 4 years, so I know how to use a rifle.
Neither before nor after my service have i EVER had violent tendencies that made me go on a shooting spree. I deal with stress every day (Hello IT, working for an international liquor company that needs to be up 24/7) yet I still score normal blood pressure numbers.
I just don't get this obsession. There are always a few nuts. The rest of us are fairly well-adjusted.
Stupid media. Stupid fear-mongering. Stupid people.
done ranting now.
