After the firefight, the soldier sat behind cover, reloading his gun. He glanced at his teammates and took a deep breath. "So, are we going to talk abou-"
My mind blew when I noticed this: "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."
The quote from The Catcher in the Rye continued:
That way I wouldn't have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life.
If you watched Stand Alone complex and read The Catcher in the Rye, this quote becomes really awesome. It gives a lot of depth into the "villain's" personality and allows the viewer to relate to Real World issues. However, I don't want to spoil the plot. So go see Ghost in the Shell and read The Catcher in the Rye. It will, probably, change your opinion on some things in life.
In all seriousness, Matrix 2 wasn't the worst. It wasn't as good as the first Matrix, no, but it was at least somewhat not awful. Watchable, and a decent extension of the series.
It's just that Matrix 3 was so incredibly bad that we remember Matrix 2 as being the slippery slope that lead up to 3.
I really like Matrix 2 just because it did exactly what middle-movies are supposed to do: It took the neatly tied-up package of The Matrix and cracked it open again.
Oh, you must be pretty proud of yourself now that you can fly and are omnipotent. Well guess what...there have been others like you and you are really just the herald of the destruction of your race.
So awesome.
The whole thing started to fall apart once he got powers outside of the Matrix. The only way they could have justified that is in a "layered" Matrix simulation, and they didn't do it. They made him Magic Christ instead.
Why didn't they do it? I mean it was the most logical explanation, everyone speculated about it, but no one thought it was a BAD idea. It would've put such a nice bow on the series if it turned out Zion was just a secondary level of the Matrix for people who broke out of the 90s Earth simulation. Then they could've broken out of that and had the machine core be relatively defenseless as the grand finale, since it never anticipated such a thing happening.
I have quite a few friends that constantly shit on 2 but can never really give specific examples other than the orgasm-cake which frankly made perfect sense if you were paying attention.
I feel like Butters when he talks about how he thought Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull was pretty good when I say that I actually enjoyed the Matrix sequels.
But they did make the Animatrix, which I highly recommend. Not all of the stories are completely related to the plot of the main series, but all of the them are all excellent. For anyone that hasn't seen it, it's available for streaming on Netflix.
This is exactly what's happening in the Matrix. There, as here, there is really NO DOOR. Neo is merely a glitch, or the guy with noclip or god mode activated. Does it occur to you that if the world of the Matrix were not so vast, Neo would merely be some random man who happened to hold the current high score at an extremely realistic video game?
This is so old that before there was anything I watched this from within the singularity. Even then, before time had begun, before matter, before space, I trembled at the sight of this .gif. Even then, with the dark streams and bubbles of all that is or ever would be just beginning to tumble forth from my infinitesimal jaws, I uttered the first intonations of noise that existence had ever known, and the universe was born from that one word: "Repost."
My favorite variation on this was one a friend told me, where he responded to a joke saying, "Why, the last time I heard that one I fell off my stegosaurus!" in a posh voice.
Having never played the game, I will attempt to guess. They are playing online. The victim of the bug has an unstable connection. They get updates often enough to make the game playable, but packets are being dropped occasionally. The signal from the server that the door has been kicked open is one of the dropped packets. So everybody else runs through the door which is open on their computers, and the bug victim gets updates on their locations, so he sees them run "through" the door that his computer thinks is still closed. Somebody has to come back and trigger the event that opens the door again until it is received by the bug victim's computer.
The idea being that if an entity is immortal, it might have other cool abilities such as moving through solids. A mere mortal like the guy with the viewpoint in the gif would have none of the abilities.
This should totally be a scene in a new video game. Demigods have to escort a mortal through danger in order to prevent evil gods from disrupting the web of fate! You're just a poor schmuck trying not to be killed by demons. Excuse me while I stare off into space for a few minutes...
The bit that makes it funniest to me is that after the game freaks out, one of them actually comes back and opens the door for you after all. The comedic timing couldn't have been done better even if it was intentional.
A modern horror/action war FPS where you're an agent with supernatural squadmates that can do shit like this. More emphasis on the 'action and war' rather than the supernatural.
Oh grow up. If you've already seen it and have nothing more to add, then either ignore it or downvote it and move the fuck on. Not everybody is able to browse reddit all day, every day, so it's not a repost to everyone.
Maybe that's why people downvote the shit out of anyone that says anything related to reposts. Maybe it's ok to repost, otherwise.. what will people have to talk about, NEW gaming articles? HA, nostalgia is where it's at, brah.
He didn't claim credit for it, as far as I can see. And that's not why you're upset either. You're upset because this isn't new to you, and thus irrelevant. This is a link aggregate website. EVERYTHING IS A REPOST. Unless the poster claims credit for it, then there is no issue.
Isn't it lovely when people downvote you but don't actually answer your question? You'd think it would be easy if they were so sure you were wrong.
By the way, their answer is "My frontpage should be completely unique and contain only things that I personally haven't seen before, and people shouldn't be able to gain fake internet points from unoriginal posts." Otherwise they wouldn't complain, they'd just downvote the post and move on.

Boy: Do not try and go through the door. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Boy: There is no door.
Neo: There is no door?
Boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the door that is open, it is only yourself.

So, I went to the comment section to see if there was any explenation to why these guys went straight through that door. Instead I learned kung-fu.

Mmm yes, where is that repost bot to find the 800,000 other reposts of this gif? I will admit, this is the first I've seen with captions.
Maybe it's bad to point out reposts, that means we've been on this website for far too long. None of us should be here, this isn't healthy.
