Sublime and puzzling, you must try Braid! Is Tropic Thunder the new funniest movie of the Summer? Does Bionic Commando live up to the nostalgia? A laptop LANparty? We go to Dallas for ROGCon.
Check out the Interactive Episode at VideoClix.tv
This week in Movies:
Get Smart, Love Guru, Step Brothers, and Pineapple Express have come and gone, each making their play for the funniest movie of the summer. Now, in the waning days of the season, Ben Stiller's newest directorial effort, Tropic Thunder throws its hat into the ring. Alex, Dan, and Jeff get some.
Dan uses the new trailer for The Express to discuss sports films. The guys debate what works and what doesn't.
This week in Video Games:
In last couple of weeks, Alex, Dan, and Jeff have played a remarkable number of AAA downloadable titles, including Geometry Wars 2 and Pixel Junk Eden. This week 2 more notable entries dominate the video games segment.
First, the bold, time-bending platformer, The Braid has Jeff saying the word 'fascinating' more times than one would think possible.
And second, the retro-remake of the classic NES game, Bionic Commando, Bionic Commando: Rearmed has all of the guys remembering the arm-grappling days of their youth, and debating the merits of a jump button.
Plus:
Alex, Dan, and Jeff take a trip out to Dallas to check out ROGCon!

I can't believe you jeff. Nothing but baseball works as a sports movie. i strongly disagree sir. How many bad football movies are there? Almost none. Why, because football is rad in itself. Soccer has also had a pretty good run of movies, so has hockey. even golf has Happy Gilmore and the greatest game ever played.

I don't use the term ' FTW ' too often. As I don't play games much, but it's slowly creeping into my regular vocabulary.
I grew up in VA about the same time Alex did. Erol's video was great.
We looked suspiciously at Blockbuster when they started moving in.
You could also rent VCRs and Video cameras from Erol's. The guy was a genius of his time, but couldn't hold up against the juggernauts that moved in.

That's all, so Erol's, FTW.

Ahh Erols...I am old enough to have pretended to be 18 to be able to rent their R-rated movies and beyond :) I even used them as my first post-AOL ISP. They may have been taken over by RCN, but I still have my erols email account. Ahh...memories.

well, I meant recently. Look back a few episodes. They try to do an intro that is relevant to the episode (I'm checking the Wiki, and it seems to go as far back as Episode 58)
Usually, the intro will be relevant to an actor, or a sequel, etc.
edit: finally got down to watch the episode. Incredibly sad that they all seemed to love Tropic Thunder. I was incredibly disappointed at this piece of garbage that was presented and hyped to me. I expected so much more and got so much less.
Dancing =/= funny. Ben Stiller must learn this, for he ended Dodgeball the same way.

"So
I went back and watched a bunch of the intros after I saw that wikipedia list because I didn't want to wait until I saw ALLLL the episodes to see the intros.
The Spaceballs one rules."
Love the spaceballs one. And the beetlejuice one, and ep 52 of course. Waynes World one was damn good too.
Keep watching the eps though hoe.

I think the relevance of the opening was the birthday. Didn't they mention they were filming on Alex's?
