Damn. I will always remember him as Bear, and standing up to a Mossberg armed Bruce Willis with a big ass wrench.

Forgive my indulgence, but perhaps he and Commander Armstrong can swap
"So there I was..." stories as Tony Scott writes a screenplay.

I'm currently watching a new anime that has a bunch of guns in it. It's a pretty old one, pre HD widescreen, so it's weird to see the caps all square.

It's actually kinda funny when someone told me it's about demon slaying and the collector's box gives nothing away. I thought the show took place in some kind of fantasy place with guns...then I discovered it took place in 1928 NYC.

I watched Raw Deal, New Jack City, and Safe back-to-back earlier. I had not seen Safe before, but it was fairly entertaining.

I can't really see a modern Robocop without Deus Ex: Human Revolution-style branded and warning labelled cybernetics, personally. Where's the little adjustment screw outlines and warnings to use high grade mech oil only or whatever?

Started playing Fallout New Vegas again, had to stop due to Steam issues. I'm seriously considering going for a WW2 loadout with M1911/Grease Gun/Tommy Gun/Garand/BAR eventually.

So has anyone downloaded/played "Black Mesa" yet? I have been thinking about doing so, except that the official site had a link to download adware that I clicked accidentally (which nearly caused me to install Snap.do on my laptop). Leaves kind of a bad taste in my mouth for the entire deal...

From a site I saw, the idea is that the suit changes colour, so it's blue and white when he's being a bot-about-town and turns slate grey for "battle" mode.

I can't really see a PG-13 Robocop movie working that well, to be honest.
