I notice Flapjacks chose a particularly significant name for his exemplary Xbox player. SUBTLETY!

“I’ve heard there’s a completely random musical number before the big final action scene.”

Take another look at what’s going on at 2:02

I have two words for Gerard Butler: new agent.

@bunnyofdoom,

Logic? Consistancy? Were you actually expecting these things?

Clearly you weren’t watching the same trailer as the rest of us.

@bunnyofdoom,

Logic? Consistancy? A clearly defined backstory?

Are we watching the same trailer?

I was already planning on seeing this stupidly fun movie based on the premise itself, but when I read that the guys behind Crank are involved, I realied this was going to reach astounding levels of insane stupidity.

I look forward to watching it a couple of times until the novelty wears off, and then only when I’m drinking.

Wait, I’m confused. Basically Gerald Butler is being controlled like a puppet right? So why is everyone so happy to go on about him being a perfect solider, and him doing so well?

Isn’t it the puppet master who’s doing that well?

Wait, “pretend that this is not Halo, but Gears of War instead”? You kill alien monsters in BOTH!

DistantFred: My thoughts exactly. Why spend the energy cockpunching Flapjacks when goons are “a dime a dozen”. I’d hire a dozen goons if they were offering their services for .008333 a piece.

MGK: Are you sure you have no use for a goon or goon squad? Not even to serve as a bouncer for your house to keep Flapjacks out as needed?

Since it’s from the Crank lads, I shall see it and hopefully enjoy it.

I want to know if the game that inevitably comes out based on this movie about a game will take place wholely in this movie’s game universe or if, in fact, you will control another person who subsequently controls Gerard Butler. Will you have to go to school in this game and doodle on your notebook making sketches of your character until you get home to play the game within the game? And what if, inside that game, Gerard Butler challenged another inmate to a game of poker for a pack of smokes? How many nested games can they stack?

And will they go for the cheap joke of some inmate perpetually running in circles because the player went LD or his mom unplugged his PC because he was grounded?

There are so many questions…

Have you ever played MMPORGs, NeoKefka? Completely random musical scenes are pretty much standard, from gamers with way too much time on their hands and access to a wide variety of social macros….

Well, Gamer is from the same guys who made the Crank series, so I imagine the final movie is way more nutso than the trailer indicates. In fact, I’ve heard there’s a completely random musical number before the big final action scene.

The real question: are there enough elephants on death row that little Timmy can directly control an elephant stampede like a scalpel?
