This is one of those rare posts that we, in the industry, like to call "easy." When we tell you that sign-ups for the Battlefield Heroes beta are now open, the odds are that you've already beat cheeks down to the "Read" link. And that's just fine with us, because it means we can relax our brain muscle, confident in the fact that only us and the spam spiders are reading the text.
It also means we can use the rest of this space to cop to something we otherwise wouldn't with millions of prying eyes around. ... We've completely turned the corner on Uwe Boll. He's out of his mind, he'll fight anyone and he's possibly the greatest self-promoter alive. We love him. And if you're a theater owner who won't show Postal, we think you're a jerk. There, we said it. ... OK, well, good luck with the beta thing, not that you're here any more.

my pride!
And speaking of Uwe, I just read his interview and he does make some valid points.A lot of reviewers are biased and criticise him instead of his movies just because of how crap AitD and HotD were.
To be honest, was BloodRayne(25M) really worse then those high-budget movies like Jumper(85M),Electra(50M) or Catwoman(100M)?
I know I'll just get branded as an Uwe-lover but try looking at it from a different perspective, instead of hating him just to jump on the bandwagon.
PS: And he's right about Michael Bay.Considering how much budget he gets, his movies DO suck.

Still debating on the Beta though.
I would like to point out that not all of Uwe's movies are "low budget" Look at the Dungeon Siege movie.
Budget:
$60Million
Notable Actors:
Jason Statham
Ron Perlman
Ray Liotta
Burt Reynolds
Rating on Rotten Tomatoes:
5%
I mean come on, it has Burt fucking Reynolds. Face facts, Uwe Boll is just a terrible director. I am not defending movies like Jumper or Electra and all the other crap that Hollywood tries to shove down our throats. But seriously, don't even try to suggest that Uwe Boll has an ounce of directing talent.
"...and the budged WAS ONLY 10M."

Before Joystiq?
No. I mean, - no.
Stop lying.

What SUCKS is that there's so much badmouthing about the series that they don't just ignore it and play the damned game. Now the drama going on with Bad Company, I have no comment on.
But the reasons 2142 didn't take off is a bunch of crap. People going on about spyware and some crap about an invasion of privacy and some shit... Oh, and the in game advertising that was only on, like, 2 or 3 of the 10 or 12 maps.
Yeah, people will bitch about anything if they can... The whole ripping off TF2 is a prime example of that.
And it's not like Valve cares either.
Thank you,

On the note of Uwe Boll, I'm proud to say not a single theater in my state is showing that piece of shit he calls a movie.
