Oooh a poking stick!
Speaking of poking sticks...
View at your own discretion:
Dead Space 2 Eye Poke
Just think about this the next time you go to an ophthalmologist and he/she uses that thing that shoots a puff of air in your eyes.
That was the one part of Dead Space 2 that actually made me cringe.

Kill it with fire!Big "Power Rangers" fan here. Just sayin'.
The problem in general seems to be that there are too many writers who insist on downer endings to stories where the conficts could certainly have ended well. They seem to be making the story end badly just for the sake of "art", or because they were depressed when they wrote it or something. They get people invested in their characters and then toss the characters into the meat grinder just because they can. That's really no way ot treat one's characters or one's audience.That's something I can't grasp. I think that in order to have an involving story, you have to have some sort of discomfort, a conflict, to be simple. Logically, some conflicts can't end happily without the reader feeling like the author copped out. If you only want to read conflicts that can end well, that's fine, but I feel that you're limiting yourself by doing so. I guess that it's a matter of taste in the end, but this is my opinion.
Personally, I tend to save all the gruesome stuff for my villains, becuse they're really the ones who deserve to die and you can get a really dark and twisted "happy" ending out of it... Ever notice that most horror movies tend to make all the people who get killed off be the jerks? That's because it makes horror fans want them to die. Jason Voorhees gets aplauded when he kills the jerkass jock. But even Kane Hodder stated flat out that Jason woudn't kick a dog. Similarly, take most action movies. The badguys tend to be terrorists or criminals of some sort. So people like it whan Chuck Norris gives them a one-way ticket to Hell...

Yeah, I found Farenheit 451 a bit of a slog myself. There are some decent ideas in there, but on the whole it just sort of drags along, and then resolves itself in just the most annoyingly contrived fashion. Classic it may be, but it's on the lower end of Sci-Fi books I've read.I've tried reading Fahrenheit 451, but I just can't get into it because I can't stand its style of prose.
