I read one of my Calvin and Hobbes books again yesterday. My favorite strip is the one where Calvin tries to get out of class by writing a letter that claims to be written by the President of the U.S.

Ah, calvin and hobbes... the nostalgia. I remember the one when he's dueling his dinner with a fork. That one's epic. :P

G4E:The second best strip in my opinion is when Calvin's pretending to be a T-rex and bites his mom, stating that's how dinosaurs become extinct as he runs away.

@ IK: haha, how about the one how he talks about natural selection, and raptors eat that girl he doesn't like?

G4E:That's another one on my favorite list. Apperantly, a Paleontoligist praised how the author made the dinosaurs in the strips close to they looked in real life.

Watched a playthrough of Mega Man 7 earlier today. The final boss was one of those where you think that you can get through realtively easily after getting hit once or twice, but then proves you wrong once it enters it's second form unless your moves are of great preciscion.

Nothin' like a bit of trial and error to make you feel like a boss!

I managed to get to wave 32 in Horde 2.0 on Gears of War 3. Goddamn, the guys get tough at that point! Thank god for super active relaod....

G4E:The boss I'm talking about is one of those where the attacks home in on you and not only can you get burned and suffer greater health loss than from a normal projectile attack, but you can also get frozen and be vunerable to his attack where he lets loose electric orbs across the grount.

I dunno if I want to see JP in 3D...I feel like it's just becoming a fad to put popular films on the 3D screen to milk more cash out of them.

HF: That's exactly what it is. However, while I would never be stupid enough to watch Titanic in 3D, Jurassic Park is enough of an exciting action/survival movie that some moments might actually look good in 3D. That, and seeing it on the big screen again isn't all that bad.

DM: That may be true. And hey, if they leave the film as is, we get to see the goofs in 3D too. XD

Now though, the question is if they plan to have it in theatres by July 2013, where does that leave plans for JP4 at? I seem to recall someone saying at ComicCon 2011 that 2013 was the tentative release date. IF it's still coming out at all.

From what I've heard, JP IV already has a script being written (or possibly done) and Steven Spielberg is acting as a producer for it. I doubt its release will really do anything with JP 3D the same year, though.
