  1. "@ Volo, the overly dramatic trolling for reaction was fun the first 726 times, but it has worn a little thin since then." Stop trolling me. I'm talking about Micheal Vick, and the NFL. The topic isn't Volourn. If you want tod iscuss a poster named Volourn make a topic. And, you can quote all the statistics you want, none of the numbers prove that he isn't worthy of being a top 32 quarterback passing or otherwise. And, this was proven where the Falcons crashed and burned in his absence. They just got some luck with another good young QB this season which is the only reason why they managed to rebound so quickly. "He also averaged 13 fumbles per 16 game season, which would've been enough to tie for the league lead in 2008 (with Tony Romo)." Except, unlike Romo, Vick ran a heck of a lot more and was basically acting like a secondary running back at times so of course he fumbled more. Most QBs only have to worry about fumbling when being sacked..., Romo had to worry about fumbling when running. Fcats speak for themselves. Vick had a pretty good record as a NFL QB. that was luck, fluke, or coincidence. It was pure talent, and skill.
  2. "Not because he'll get banned, but because after 2 years in prison, away from NFL-caliber conditioning, training, diet, etc., he's just not going to have the athleticism that made him such a dangerous player in the first place. (And his passing skills absent that athleticism were never strong enough to make him a credible starting QB.)" An NFL calibre player like Vick who isn't some old geezer isn't all of assuden gonna be so out of shape that some training and hard work can fix. If 40 year olds cna 'retire' and come back, I'm sure a man around 30ish can do it espciially when that player had freakish innate athleticism like Vick does. "(And his passing skills absent that athleticism were never strong enough to make him a credible starting QB.)" Simply not true. While his apssing skills aren't gonna be confused with Montana or Manning; he was still a good enough passer to be a top 32 QB. Easily. He'll be back in playing in the NFL barring any new legal problems. The NFL will lift his suspension, and a team will sign him. Likely minimum salary + incentives to start with. "But, public/media reactions aside, Vick's treatment by the authorities and by the League has been, in my view, pretty reasonable considering the scope of his actions." Doubtful. I'm sure the vast majority of animal cases don't face as strict punishment as he has. The guy went from Richie Rich to pretty much poor house (relatively speaking), has spent a couple of years in prison, and just as much to do with who he is as what he has done. "fans feel betrayed when someone they previously believed in and cheered for turns out" They 'feel' betrayed because they ar emorons. In order to be betrayal there has to be loyalty. The 'fans' had no loyalty to him nor did he have loyalty to them. As for the Falcons, and the NFL. No loyalty there as loyalty cannot be bought. "OK, who went and encouraged Volo in his "pity the poor millionaire athletes" schitck?" yeah, yeah, they're rich. That's why it's okay to not treat them like humans. Just admit your jealousy and envy, You wouldn't care one whit about Micheal Vick abusing animals if you didn't know he was. In fact, if he was an unknown, he could have been shot a dozen times, raped, thrown in the ditch to die, and you would go 'how sad' and move on. CELEBRITIES > JEALOUS PEOPLE WHO ACT INDIGNANT
  3. It's real simple. It's about money, and fame. If it wasn't for who Vick is, people would read his story, say what he did was wrong, and then they'd move on. But, because it's Micheal Vick, they want him tortured as inhumanely as possible in some sick twisted revenge. Not ebcause those people care about the dogs; but out of sheer jealousy of what success he has had. He'll rebound. He'll be back in the NFL contrary to what some want. Seriously, epople will not be happy until he is literally fed to dogs as a meal.
  4. Chuck, and Bones are officially renewed. Now, all my shows are coming back. YAY!
  5. Fear of flying? He's been doing it for 3 years... why did he just back out now? WOW!
  6. "Ashley" Ashley is no damsel in distress.
  7. "Wow, where did you get she was a racist bastard?" From the game. She's racist. Why? She hates other beings based on their race. That's the definition of racism. She is still an interest, and mostly wellw ritten character.
  8. Nope.
  9. "You should have it full turnbased or actual hands-on realtime control, that kind of half-assed compromise only makes nuts like Volo happy" The hilarious thing then is thata ccording to you there's a lot of nuts like me then since A LOT of people seem to enjoy and are happy with the IE/Aurora/KOTOR type combat. R00fles!
  10. "We're talking about Bioware here. They'll never get combat right." All BIO games had good combat... except KOTOR. "Sidequests in ME2 will now tie directly into the main story (or quest) in ME2" BOOO! "All Bioware's previous game used the old IE-NWN system of the 6-second round, that was inherently flawed" You are double wrong. A. Je didn't have that combat system. I doubt MDK2 or SS had it either. B. The 6 second round system is awesome.
  11. YAY! Now, Chuck just needs to be renewed and all my fave shows will be back!
  12. People are pretending that this is the only preview of the game. Other previews by BIO have talked about improving random planets/side quests, and the like. And, oh, the person who thinks the dialogue system should be improved is out of luck. There's no reason why ME's dialogue system should be changed and I doubt BIO has any plans to do so. "30-year olds talking like 12-year olds. *sigh*" Oh, please. Plenty of adults talk like that. Look at all the adult oriented action movies as evidence. Heck, look at Jack Bauer's popularity despite the fact in the real world people are often anti torture yet they idloize him. *shrug* "The "AI" had the enemies get stuck behind pretty much anything and just wait for you to gun them down." ME's AI was the best BIO AI ever, and better than 99% of games' AI espicially the overrated KOTOR series. "In KoTOR you could at least set up some actions without worrying about people getting stuck on everything." ME > KOTOR For the most part, my AI companions AI would actually use their abilities intelligently even when not being directly controlled, and rarely if ever got stuck. GO ME2 GO! DOWN WITH KOTOR 4EVAR!
  13. Went 2-2 that round making my current record 8-4. PIT vs CAR: Never bet against the superstar so I believe Pens will take this though Carolina won't make it east. Staal will bring a fire and play thoguh but is likely no match for Crosby. PIT in 6. DET vs CHI: Hawks keep proving me wrong so my pick here will probably end up wrong; but a tad impossible to go against the defending champs. DET in 6.
  14. Nope. It's NEVER pathetic to be beat by a superior team in a game 7. Heck, it's not pathetic to lose to an 'inferior' team in a game 7.
  15. "At the third time, your internet connection is closed, but you still have to pay for it and you're not allowed change your ISP." This is dumb. You are forced to pay for a service you ar eno longer allowed to use? That's retarded. That's like being caught sneaking into a theatre, being barred from the theatre for 2 years, and being forced to pay for a ticket once a week that you cna't even use. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Or someone convicted of murder and legally barred from owning/using guns including hunting yet still being forced to pay for a hunting license. or someone who is no longer allowed to drive yet forced to still pay for car insurance. And, I'm as anti piracy as anyone.
  16. "Pathetic" No.
  17. They got beat by the better team. Not pathetic or surprising. That's what happens when you get stuck with a rookie netminder against a team that actually knows how to score. *cough* not the rangers *cough* No shame for Washington losing to Pittsburgh in 7 games. They should be proud just getting it to 7 games...
  18. Malkin hasn't choked. He's played well - he's just not as good as Crosby or Ovechkin. Nothing to be ashamed about.
  19. "SEE I TOLD YOU ALL VOLO WOULD DO THIS!" Conviently you forgot my earlier post where I state my actual opinion on the trailer. *shrug* "Crap trailer, and YES I WILL *BUY* DRAGON AGE." Game over.
  20. I cannot believe all the crying over a silly trailer. LMAO Espicially since most of the whiners on the net are either a) hate BIO anyways so BIO could litterally crap gold and give everyone a nugget and they still hate on them or b) Made the decision to buy the game years ago and will end up buying, playing, and enjoying the game when it is released even if they publicly bash it. Exceptions, of course, do exist, and kudos to them. Here's a newsflash, people: BIo doens't really have to market the game to the BIO or BG or 'hardcore RPG' fanboys as they already have that money locked up. It's the casuals/people who love other genres who BIo has to convince to buy their game. In essence, the RPG/BIO fanbase are basically irrelevant in the marketing scheme of things. R00fles! In conclusion, this trailer - while far from my favorite - was a smashing success.
  21. Nah. My post could be viewed as flaming. The one I quoted was definitely a troll.
  22. "I anyone can start and arguement by taking a retarded stance it's Volo." Don't be a troll, BLANK.
  23. Some people hate chocolate. I love chocolate. I do not cry over the fact some hate chocolate, though. *shrug*
  24. I'm thankful DA is not BG. BG is dead. I played it, I enjoyed it, I moved on.Good riddance to good rubbish. Been there done that, don't have the tshirt but I got the memories. If someone wants to play BG then go play BG.
  25. The video itelf was great; but definiotely over the top which, of course, was the whole point of a video termed 'Violence'. However, that song is one worst songs ever. I hope it will not be in the actual game 'cause that will make DA's soundtrack the worst BIO game soundtrack ever on that one song alone. H O R R I B L E
