    I'm really freaking out, because I don't think I'll get to see TDKR opening weekend. My buddy and his girlfriend were going to take me out to see it on Friday with some gift card he has, but we can't use the gift card to get the tickets online, and I can't use my debit card because I don't have much money on it. Thus, our only option is to go into town and see if we can reserve tickets in person. If not, I could catch it at the beach, but...it's the beach. I know it'll be in theaters when I return.

    And thank you. I've been wanting to use it for a while. The quote is Brosnan, and I think it was him comparing how gritty the Fleming novels were as compared to how his (Brosnan's) own films were. That isn't the exact quote, it's spliced up just a bit. I used it a long time ago when I used MSN Messenger, and I loved it. It's stuck ever since.

    Here's the full Brosnan quote:

    "When you look at Ian Fleming's work, it's there on the page. The martinis, the drugs, the cigarettes, the casino, the blood on the hands. But they never went there. Hopefully, they will go there with Daniel Craig. They have the product, they have the man, and I'm sure they will."

    It saddens me, because it sounds like he wanted to do a Bond in the style of what they did with Craig, where you see the man and his life, all that he is and will be, all the men he has killed and all his hurt. I see that a lot in Dan's Bond, and there is a great emotional grain that connects CR and QoS where Bond deals with his own pain, bottled up inside. Brosnan I believe would have been good at that, instead of the Bond we got, which was more of a happy go lucky, unscathed guy. Even after being captured for 14 months he is back in it as if nothing happened to him. The moments where his Bond gets angry I enjoy the most, as I like the character serious. I can see him doing the dark things Dan has done in the role, and it is a damn shame the scripts gave us a different Bond than what Pierce was perfect for.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, that's it, and yes, that's how Brosnan wanted it. There are numerous quotes, including one where he talks about the sex scenes being nothing but rolling around, while in 'The Thomas Crown Affair' - though it did contain nudity - he said a lot of the sex scenes were really vibrant and beautiful without needing the aforementioned nudity. It's just a real shame that they never let Brosnan go down that road as Bond, and instead gave us the happy-go-lucky type that you just described. I'm sure he could have played it perfectly.

    It is as if EON tugged the reins on him and steered him in their direction. He loved playing the character, yes, but I wonder. Was he secretly angry or saddened behind the smiles at the premieres that his Bond wasn't how he envisioned it? It is a shame to hear all that coming from him, because I agree that he would have been perfect for that type of Bond. He reminds me of Humphrey Bogart in a way. A man that may not look like a strong force from far away, but when you are near him there is just something powerfully menacing, compelling, and cool about him.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, I couldn't have said it better myself. Just going through quotes of his along the Internet, that's how it is portrayed - he really wanted to be a different Bond than what was given, but it looks like it was saved for Craig.

    'Halo 4' limited edition console is confirmed:
    http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-12312-Halo-4-Limited-Edition-Console-Made-Official.html

    While the consoles always look cool, I"ll never understand them: why would I go through the hassle of ridding myself of my current console, just to get one with a different graphic on it for much more money?

    I can understand if you're making a system switch, but why else? That console looks pretty bland, anyway.

    In relations to an earlier post, the 'Battlefield 4' game and beta have been confirmed by a multiplayer developer for 'Medal of Honor: Warfighter.' Anyone who reserves 'Warfighter' will reserve first access to the beta, scheduled to release fall of 2013. Here's the link:

    They're making a slim version of the PS3 slim? I am looking at my slim now, and I ask how can they do it, there isn't much PS3 to the slim as it is.

    Is Sam supposed to be older or is it a young Sam? I am confused. He looks so much younger than in Conviction I am questionable. Not to mention that he doesn't sound old.

    Why is it taking so long for 360 players, when the full PC version's been done since the 24th of July? Well, actually, the full PC version practically been done since November, especially since the last time I played Cold Stream (yesterday), it hadn't changed much since the last big update last July.

    Yeah, I heard the 'Cold Stream' DLC has been in beta for about a year now, not sure what's taking it so long, as I doubt it's incredibly meaty and full of content. It got delayed for reasons that I didn't read about, so I'm not sure why week-and-a-half delay was announced.

    March. A year, and five months. So... very... long... It's a decent campaign, but not anything to write home about, plus it's non-canon, which disappointed me. It is kinda fun to play from No Mercy to Blood Harvest (actually, I've got some mod campaigns, so I've got some extra "story"). As far as "full of content" goes, it's the Cold Stream campaign, and then L4D2 versions of Crash Course, Death Toll, Dead Air and Blood Harvest. That's actually a lot of stuff, but it's taken too long.

    I re-bought an Xbox 360 (after trading in my PS3) at the start of the summer, and am really looking forward to getting back into the 'Left 4 Dead' games. I've been trying to take games one at a time, and I want to finish a majority of the races on 'Forza Motorsport 3' and complete the entirety of 'Grand Theft Auto IV' before I start up another game. Hoping to complete all of them before some of the newer games release towards the end of this year.

    There will never be a Left 4 Dead 3, and honestly, I'm kinda glad. The map on Dead Center clearly shows the entire Eastern Seaboard just completely f*cked. Plus, after you've played all the canon campaigns, plus dozens of custom ones, shooting fast zombies just becomes kind of tedious. Plus, there's enough Special Infected.
