Evening Reading
In their response, Crysis 2 publisher Electronic Arts said "Crytek and EA are deeply disappointed by the news. We encourage fans to support the game and the development team by waiting and purchasing the final, polished game on March 22. ... Piracy continues to damage the PC packaged goods market and the PC development community." Should the game's PC sales fail to meet expectations, it's a safe bet there will be plenty of fingers pointed back to this moment.
There was plenty of other video game news today and here are the top stories from the Shack:

replyAnyone else miss LOST yet?
-
Given how season 3/4/6 were not that good no.
-
Nope. I'm still waiting on what is it called television?....oh yeah..a ENDING.
-
-
There's a delicate line dividing thinking for yourself and using mysticism and up for interpretation out of laziness.
-
-
Well they abandoned that after season 2/3 anyway. The wheels of midichlorians were well in motion before the end.
-
-
I actually think avoiding plainly answering alot of the longstanding questions was a tactful move. It allows everyone to personalize some points for themselves. A long-arcing story like Lost is open to interpretation anyways. Even if we were provided "all" the answers by the proverbial powers-that-be, it would ultimately only be one interpretation of events.
-
True, but it also was a slap for people who thought the Lost writers actually had it figured out. They did some really cryptic crazy shit early on. Lots of weird internet games and a lot of neat references. People were hoping they were smart enough to have a big reveal that would show their genius. It didn't happen.
Although it was obvious from the path the last half the series took. They abandoned dharma initiative as one of the shows big mysteries and went more towards spirituality. Dharma was more or less DOA from then on. Which should be a blatant warning of the spiritual easy button that's coming.
-
-
Lost didn't have an ending though. They ended Season 6 the whole flash sideways thing but they didn't actually explain any of the big mysteries introduced in Seasons 1-5.
-
-
Yes that was the point of the show once they realized they wrote a bunch of crazy shit and would be expected to explain it
-
I know a lot of fans, and even non-fans, wanted the crazier, sci-fi stuff to be done more. I totally get that. But the irrefutable fact is that the show had much better ratings every time there was a character drama on display. Ultimately, this is the reason the show went in that direction.
-
-
I think that's a bit of a cop-out on the part of the writers. They clearly had no idea where they were going with the show. I think why so many people were upset is that they essentially spent 5 season teasing that you were going to get some explanation to what actually was going on.
That said, I actually still kind of liked how they wrapped things up.

Has nothing to do with spoonfed an ending. But some wrap up besides everyone is dead and the entire last season had no meaning! was shit.
Give me some Wire, some Shield. Now that's an ending. -

I understand this argument, really I do, but... how is chalking it up to parallel universes more justifiable a scenario than a religious experience?
In the end, they are two completely different approaches which attempt to provide a somewhat meaningful answer to two completely divergent beliefs (science and god).
Who knows why they went with god as an explanation, other than possibly trying to satisfy a broader percentage of their assumed audience.

Man you people are sad. What more of an ending do you want? Jack kills the MIB and saves the island, but dies in the process. Kate and Sawyer escape the island. Hurley becomes the new island protector and takes Ben as his right-hand man. An unidentified period of time later when they all have lived out their lives and die, they are reunited in the afterlife
-
-
A Wizard did it.
-
They explained the food drops in the Prologue on the bluray release. Essentially, the people sending the stuff worked for Dharma, who obviously knew where the island was since they were the ones who found it. They had no idea of what happened on the island recently, or at least were told to keep shipping stuff anyway. Ben found them and told them they were relieved of their duties, as it was no longer necessary.

Every time you people talk about The Wire, I feel inadequate but when I go to start watching it, I realize it's a huge epic thing and I'll have to really be committed to see it through to the end.

i dunno, i really enjoy it. the only dark spot of the show for me are the poor acting of the preacher guy. you have to get invested in the characters to really care, though. they are actually pretty complex, and now whenever someone new gets introduced you get to try to figure out whether they are a V or not! :D
-

-
I miss it and all the hours I spent into it. I tell people that if they want a sand pit of TV time to waste, they should watch this show. I loved it to death all the way to the end.
I then cried because I wasted time on a awesome take on alternate life and the theory of six degrees of seperation.. I am a firm beliver of that theory because it surrounds me for my 24 years on this planet, it scares me everyday.-

What is wrong with the ending?

-
Yes, I cry myself to sleep every night. I haven't been the same.
-
Hell yes, I miss it!
-
Hell no. There are SO many good shows.
-
I can't think of any shows on right now that have the same kind of major multi-season arc that also manage to make every episode have interesting character drama.
Hell, I'd say most of the stuff I watch and love right now has no arcs whatsoever, or they're so subdued as to barely matter.
-
-
Yes, I really do.

i miss its blend of mysticism, religion, sci-fi, and possibly the largest cast of interesting characters ever on a television show
for its faults i still consider it one of the best series ever. i can name three or four episodes that rank up there with anything i've seen, movie or show. -

Yeah, I was just thinking it is about time for my I think 9th viewing (of to date episodes) of the series.
-
I fucking knew this was you before I even got to the end of the post preview.
-
-
No; after that ending I retroactively lost all interest in it. It's not even fun for me to watch old episodes
-
So what are Lindeloff and Carlton doing nowadays?
Are there any news of them writing for a new show?-
Carlton Cuse is doing a Civil War project:
