For the sake of shortness and simplicity though, we will concentrate soley on Revolutions.  Now, as I said, LOTS of people i have heard say they don&#8217;t like it, or that it is &#8220;ok&#8221;.  what i haven&#8217;t heard, are speciffic reasons as to why.  People say things like&#8230; &#8220;there was too much talking&#8221; or, it was too slow.. however&#8230; i want speciffic examples here.  what did you feel was too slow?  where was there too much talking?  and remember with me, if you will, that the original movie had a good bit of talking, and it&#8217;s share of slower parts, but you like it.  So for these arguments to be valid, you have to demonstrate that it suffers from these flaws to a greater extent then the original.  I simply desire to understand how someone can see the same movie i did and NOT think that it was great.<\/p>\n<p>On another note&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[EDIT: oh yeah, also, I will point out reasons why I thought it was good later.]<\/p>\n<p>The Final Fantasy 11 challenge:<\/p>\n<p>Can I not play it with almost all my free time tomorrow?  hmmm&#8230; (but hey, I&#8217;m a level 14 red mage&#8230;. that counts for something important in life&#8230; right?&#8230; no?&#8230; ah&#8230; crap.)<\/p>\n<p>I do think it&#8217;s funny that the welcome message to the game says that they have no desire to you your real life suffer from you playing&#8230; and to not forget about your work, family and friends \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun game.. but.. don&#8217;t get addicted to Final Fantasy 11, kids.  just remember that getting that one last level isn&#8217;t really as important as you might think it is. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just a stranger here, despite your everything<br \/>I&#8217;m not attached to your world of disease<br \/>Like father always said and I can only agree<br \/>Son they will hate you because they always hated me<br \/>and even though I feel alone<br \/>I know that I could never be.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody knows.<br \/>Nobody cares.<br \/>Nobody sees outside our safe haven.<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s a choice between this veil of ecstasy<br \/>And all the lonely suffering of seeing this so clearly<br \/>If I&#8217;ve said it once I will say it for all eternity<br \/>I&#8217;ll find all the comfort that I need inside this bleeding<br \/>And even though I feel alone<br \/>You know that I could never be.<\/p>\n<p>Together we are so, so ugly with rejection<br \/>But to our, our eyes we, we&#8217;re the ones shimmering<br \/>I&#8217;ve unpluegged the wires from your spine<br \/>At first you&#8217;ll be afraid<br \/>But we&#8217;ll be alone and so content<br \/>And we<br \/>will live&#8230;<br \/>again<\/p>\n<p>Alone and so content<br \/>And we will live again<\/p>\n<p>Just crawl across the desert heat<br \/>And become tragic with me<br \/>And now that we are not alone<br \/>You know that we could never be<\/p>\n<p>Alone and so content<br \/>And we will live again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>-&#8220;Safe Haven,&#8221; by Project 86<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Matrix challenge: Elliot (zeronitro for those who don&#8217;t know) wrote a pretty good post on this topic. you should go read it.
