It does not matter who he is portraying, it is impossible for him not to come a cross as a weak little punk

I'm now considering buying this game when it comes out, just to see Kevin Spacey in it:

It's basically Kevin Spacey reprising his role from House of Cards

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is kinda fun. Got it for $7.77 the other day


EDIT: Just finished it. Future Soldier is pretty much what newer CoD's should have been

I fucking hate Harvey Kornine. First he brought us Trash Humpers, then he brought us this:

I wish he would just vanish off the face of the Earth.

Are there any good WWII flight games on PS3?

I liked IL-2 Sturmovik and Birds of Steel on Xbox 360. I think they were both on PS3 as well.

I plowed through Batman: The Brave and the Bold finally. When it first came out, I thought it looked silly, and it looked like DC/Cartoon Network was shamelessly trying to go after younger viewers, but having watched it, it's really well done. Batman as we know him today may be all dark and brooding, but Silver Age Batman should at least be acknowledged. The writers really dug deep into the DC vault for some characters, and took full advantage of their access to Hanna-Barbera's vault as well.

Just watching the first episode of "The Last Ship", and for something that is filmed on board a real USN Destroyer so obviously has a fair amount of military backing, I would have expected a bit more military authenticity. I'm only about 15 minutes in, and already we have had a Russian helicopter force, which consists of a load of MH-53 and Twin Squirrel helicopters, with the guys in the Squirrels firing M60s. Its like something from the 80s where they just didn't give a shit. Hell, the MH-53s are even purely CG, there is absolutely no reason they couldn't have made them something Russian. To make matter worse, the MH-53s are depicted as gunships, with machine guns and rocket pods under the sponsons (dangling low enough that they would be scraping the ground if the helicopter tried to land by the way). Why the didn't just make them Hinds, the most stereotypically Russian helicopter ever which as a plus is actually a gunship, I will never know.

And the target these magical, Russian, gunship MH-53s are attacking? An Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, which already knows they are hostile, and yet lets them get within strafing range, and does absolutely jack-shit about them until they have made a couple of passes with rockets and machine guns. Then when it finally does something, it launcher some chaff rockets, which miraculously seem to decoy a couple of unguided rockets. When they do engage them they only use guns, including the Phalanx CIWS which had apparently up to this point just ignoring the incoming rockets, and was biding it's time waiting for the helicopter to seemingly just wander in front of it.

My main issue is the whole concept, and this extends to the book as well. The last functioning element of the US Navy is a single warship? What, did Russia and America nuke the rest of each other's navies as well? I can't conceivably believe that there wouldn't be more ships, especially subs, from both sides out there.

And I watched the episode twice, but heard no mention of what exactly that nuclear ICBM that the Nathan James detected was aimed at. Did anyone catch that?
