Woah

I saw this film a few nights ago, and damn was it great. Even now, days later, I'm thinking about how much I enjoyed it.

Anyone else see The Hurt Locker? I have yet to meet someone who wasn't blown away by it.

I saw this on starz a year ago or so, it was really good when I saw it, I wish I saw it with someone though.

How'd you see it on Starz? It just came to US theaters in June (after only being in film festivals in late 2008).

I thought he's working in a lab with some chemicals. Oh well, I should know better than to trust information posted on totse. >_<

The movie looks promising, DevliN. I'm putting it on my 'must see' list. Although some scenes from the trailer look very unrealistic in terms of how they work with bombs. Especially when he pulls those ropes and like 6 shells come out of the ground around him.

What they don't show you is that he was pulling the wires/detonator out from each shell. I think the pulling was for a dramatic effect, and an overall "OH SHIT" moment. This film has a lot of those high-tension "is it gonna blow up in his face" scenes.

What I really liked about it, upon further reflection, is that it's a really objective look at the military. You have characters who are really feeling the traumatic affects of war, and you also have the characters that get off on the high of being in combat. And it doesn't try to tell you that either one of those responses is bad.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
