You're very welcome. As a special gift, I've updated the first post to include all the clips thus far.

And I think I'm now slightly obsessed with this film: I made the VS noise my text message tone.

So the tie-in game for this appears to be looking sweet.

The graphics are being done by the guy who made this insane shit.

It's also gonna be like River City Ransom. So, you know, cool beans.

The only sad part? No online multiplayer.

Added the video game preview to the first post.

Also, in that Vs Lucas Lee clip, does that count as a reference to fighting a screen full of the same guy?

Maybe? I don't think I've played a game like that (well, there's that fight in God of War, but maybe you have a better example in mind?).

Personally, I like it better as a continuation of the Lee-as-sellout theme...although, to be honest, I never really got the connection (that seems to be accepted/confirmed(?)) between Jason Lee (real) and Lucas (comic). I guess because my first exposure to Jason was through Kevin Smith movies and not his skateboarding work. I dunno. Still love Chris Evans overly gruff bad guy growl.

See games such as Streets of Rage and River City Ransom, where you fight waves of the same looking bad guys.

I am quite excited for this movie...

When I found out it was being made in to a movie and having heard of but not read the series I immediately went to Amazon and bought the first four books...and read them all in less than a day...then went right out to buy the 5th one almost as soon as I finished. So yeah I literally became a huge fan overnight.

I am quite pleased with what I have seen...I'm still on the fence about Wallace though...in one thing he seemed good but in another he didn't...maybe it was just how the trailers or TV spots were edited...

Anyways I am anticipating quite the good time from this film!

I don't know whether to chalk it up to a brainfart or just being focused on the Lucas Lee clip, but the second you mentioned Streets of Rage I felt like slapping my forehead.

Just from my own experience, I didn't really get a deep impression of Wallace until the actual movie clip. Sure, it's just two lines, but he does them pretty perfectly.

Yeah, all this movie talk is almost making me forget that we'll finally get the sixth book in July. I'm always tempted to pull out book 1 and do another series-so-far readthrough, but I want to save it for when I have book 6 in hand so its seamless.

And speaking of the comics (and because I was just thinking of it and need to while away some time), does anyone have an opinion on which book is their favorite? I think I've narrowed it down to 3 having my favorite plot and fight(s), but 4 having almost all of my top ten jokes/lines.

The guitar hero bit made me laugh!

Welp, I'm pretty sold on the game now.

For once, A game based on a movie(based on a book) that doesn't suck!

It helps that the source material has video game influences out the ass.
