  • For the people who have actually gone out to see Age of Extinction already

    It is worth seeing. The point is to watch massive amounts of spectacular destruction. In fact, it is only worth watching in theaters, as you don't get the same experience sitting at home (unless you have an insanely expensive home theater setup). Transformers has always been about 3 things: Blowing shit up, making money, and stupid bits of dialogue. The point was never to deliver a unique story, or any story at all, really. That is what Godzilla got wrong, and Pacific Rim got right. Fuck the actors and their stories. Blow shit up.
    At times, Michael Bay gets caught up with trying to make people feel emotional about certain characters and that gets in the way, but those occasions are few and far between, something forgivable when Optimus Prime drives a 2 story tall sword into a Decepticon chest. The sheer levels of destruction make up for those slip ups, and the fact that you dont give a fat, flying fuck about the characters makes death easy to push past and get right to the blowing-shit-up part.
    Age of Extinction was no different, and it was awesome in every possible way. It was fun, the story was forgettable, it was expensive and it make metric fuckloads of money, the characters were annoying as all hell, and the amount of destruction made you nearly giggle with joy.
    This is my opinion, but one that I know many others share.


    Do with this what you will.


    EDIT: Also, since good movies with good plots these days (the few of them there are) don't often come with mind-blowing SFX or stunning visuals, I agree with Greg that most movies are not worth watching in theaters, but it is the ones like Pacific Rim and Transformers, the ones that are shitty enough plot-wise to bore you at home, but come with stunning visuals- those are worth watching and shelling out the stupid amount of money to watch in a theater.

  • [Official] The Search for useless Items

    I know this is something not necessarily missing, but something usefull nonetheless, what about instead of pipes, you added liquid hoppers? More like funnels. This could enable complex automation of liquids without the redundancy of yet another pipe system, and it has the benefit of being original and within the feel of hoppers.

  • [Official] The Search for useless Items

    Crop Matron in its current state is pretty outdated. Something like tank storage instead of cells would be nice.
    Some form of liquid transport would be nice, maybe some sort of gravity-driven pipe system, used for moving liquids. This could make things like FluidEjector upgrades more useful along with canning machines.
    Renaming the canning machines or adding helpful tooltips to aid players in the differences between the two.

  • [1.6.4] A Survivor's Handbook: Dealing with Hardmode Gregtech

    Quote from Smexiibacon

    Do you think you are going to do a survivor's handbook for 1.7.2? I'm not talking about any time soon because I seems like it takes alot of time to make these but this one helped me alot through 1.6.4

    Most likely not for a while. He has posted once in the last three months and I think that real life is consuming him. You can try to make one if you like or make a template and let others add info.

  • IC2 Needs to do a Buildcraft

    I hate multiple piping systems, but I think that IC2 needs one with just a giant switch in the config that says: yetAnotherPipeSystemGodammit: True/False for those who dont want the AE/BC/EU/GT/Etc.
    I've had an idea for a mod for a while that would never work but would be awesome. The mod would contain every type of pipe and power network imaginable. Modders contribute to it and what the user would do is install the one mod and select their power system of choice.


    Not sure if modders would cooperate and it would be impossible to manage.

  • IC2 Needs to do a Buildcraft

    Very good points. I know the team is working hard but people are more and more forgetting that IC2 exists and scorning it for very little good reasons. The problem is that those people, the Community, is necessary for healthy development.


    -Overhauled crops system. They could replace bee breeding and have insane potential. Making them more user friendly and relying on mods such as gregtech or even configs (like forestry) to balance them.
    -CropMatron also needs a bit of help.
    -Terraformer revamp, just something to stimulate the masses and get them excited about IC2
    -Pipes, or an equivalent. Conveyors, pneumatic tubes, different hoppers, minecarts, whatever. Something to let people use Ic2 Standalone.


    Kind of a shitty list, incomplete, but just my two cents.

  • Opinions for a review

    I have not watched it, but you should focus on Michael Bay. The series is his dream sandbox, with infinite money, SFX and explosions. The story, acting and even staying true to the original comics comes last.
