Volourn

NHL 09. My league is now in season 6, and doing aweosme. Patch is just around the corner which should fix some problems (and, likely create new ones of course, heh).

" Sadly. Games are just too expensive these days to make them anything other than as accessible as possible." Game prices really haven't gone up espicially if you take inflation into account.

"Well I'm excited about ME2. If only I could see the truth like Pidesco, then I could, er, not be excited, I guess." Hiveminder.

"Saying that something is indisputable just because the majority agrees with it is hivemind like. You can have whatever opinion you want, but if you're going to claim some point of view is unassailable you should have a defense other than "the majority says so"." Nowhere did I claim that ME was awesome because the majority said so. I would like ME if nobody else liked it. "Its just because all you do is repeat the same statements over and over to try and convince people you're right, Volourn." What does that have to do with being part of a hivemind? Nor am I trying to convince anyone I'm right. That be silly because this is the internet and nobody changes their mind just because someone disagrees with them. And, it's no more repetive than anybody else. Afterall, the people who dislike ME have repeated that since its release. *shrug*

"Behold the all encompassing power of the hivemind. " Agreeing with the majority doens't make one part of the 'hivemind' - just like being a minority makes you correct.

ME is awesome. ME2 will be awesome. These are two undisputable facts no matter how much one tries to dispute them. Also, if I were to guess, Shepard isn't dead. He's obviously faked his death or simply ASSUMED to be death.

"I'd imagine that Gaider couldn't be on since he hasn't released a large work since... BG:ToB or something? " KOTOR, NWN, SOU, and HOTU all had major contributions from Gaider.

"They killed Shepard! Those bastards!".... Interesting..

I'd be shocked that someone couldn't find at least one sample of silly Swedish 'justice'. Every country has those. None are immune to the human condition. Though, the fact that lawyers don't make millions probably lessens the chance. Are you saying no lawyer can make millions? Even when defending the rich? Hmmm.. Don't forget most alwyers don't make millions in NA either.

Not in cases like these where said lawyers can make millions. Not the same as some nobody charged possession of illegal drugs.

"Like I said all it will take is one bible thumping conservative lets turn the country to the xian version of iran parent group or EA exec and we'll then see" Didn't stop ME. Fox News (a known conservative news show) lambasted ME as porn when the PC release came out, and EA simply laughed in their face - so much so, Fox actually had to apologize for it. So, time will tell has already been told. Just admit you are wrong here.

"At least that

I don't remember any controversial sexual encounters in either BG; but since signing with MS, and EA; BIO's games have had them. In fact, they've been amongst the biggest hype for the games espicially in ME's case which actually got on a national tv news show. *shrug*

"Big publishers like EA care about PR and image. Bioware is far from independent, it was merged then bought." Must explain why MS, and EA okayed both JE, and ME despite their 'controversial' sexual encounters including naked alien butt. In fact, they even came to the game's defense when Fox News, and some morons decided to rail against it. Not to mention, unlike BIO's D&D games, their last two have been M rated. If anything, it seems BIO isn't as limited as one thinks they are with EA (or MS before them). HAHAHAHA!

No such thing as 'unique'. Interesting is a whole 'nother story, though.

She did a pretty good job on Buffy and Angel. Not a big fan of hers, otherwise.

"I actually think that the Elves as underdogs and racial fear with ghettos shares something with Sapfkowski's Witcher world, where xenophobia runs rampant and other fantasy races are as opressed as they get. So its nothing new in that regard." Meh. Bah to TW. D&D did this before it. Heckj, I'm sure there are fantasy works other than D&D or TW to do this stuff. Having demihuman races be 'ghetooized' or 'oppresed' is not. Heck, the Forgotten Realms itself does it. *shrug*

What does that have to do with with whether she's a good or bad actress? Anyways, I found the show to be okayish. Definitely not great. Nowhere near the level of Buffy or Angel. I haven't see Firefly to comment yet on that. Still, only episode 1 so lots of time to give it a chance. The premise seems convoluted though for the sake of it. Dushku is a solid actress who sometimes does great things, and other times not so good.

"I have yet seen a Bioware game that has breasts in its name logo. THEY LACKS BALLZ! " Heh. You got me there. "But Rhomal wants Bioware pron!" He can always spy on Mr. Gaider in the shower to get his BIO porn fix.

"Oh that's right this is bioware they can do no wrong in your world and everything they say or imply is going to be in release will be..." That be hialrious if I dind't criticize DA before. Or tons of other BIO games or doings. But, hey, make up stuff all you want about the 'evils of BIO'. It's entertaining even if its almost always lying on your part. If you looked at history, you'd know that BIO has shown 'nudey stuff' before. *shrug*

L0L Not surprising Rhomal is dissing BIo again. This time over the fact they have 'no balls' because they won't show b00bies even though they do.. I'm sure you wouldn't care one way or another what obsidian does with b0bbies in their games. BIO has shown b00bies, and butts before. *shrug*

"which made me discover that they stole the entire "wake up every 50,000 years and eat humanity" from stargate too." L0L People keep saying this yet the whole 'ancient evil comes back to wipe out everyone' is a sci fi cliche. Stargate is not original in this. Not even close.

Shanahan hasn't been great for a few eyars now. He's basically hanging on based on reputation, and the fact he still at least has a decent slap shot. He was a HUGE joke in the playoffs last season. HUGE.

Sundin didn't betray Toronto, or Toronto's fans. They betrayed him by demanding he accept being forced to get traded. Toronto, and its fans no longer wanted him, anyways. And, look at that? They ain't any better. Sundin did not screw Toronto. Toronto screwed Toronto.

"So you must think Clooney was a better Batman than Bale?" Actually, no. There's a reason why I used the words boring and bland instead of crappy. HUGE difference. Seriously, it's no wonder people simply don't discuss Bale's work as Batman all that much . The character doesn't really do anything interesting. At all. Ever. Eeven Morgan Freeman's minor gadget character had more pizazz. Bale's Batman/Bruce Wayne barely reacts to the 'love of his life' dying. And, what the heck is with the voice? It's retarded. Keaton is the best Batman because he owns the screen when he's on it even despite the fact he had to share screen time with Nicholson's Joker. Bale's Batman is an afterthought despite the move being called the DARK KNIGHT. Clooney was horrible; but it was so over the top in a hilarious way. Plus, besides the poor acting, the characetr itself at least wasn't boring. Val Kilmer is perhaps the only Batman who could compete with Bale's Batman in the boring/bland aspect though were adequately acted. Unlike the goodfball who did the tv version which wasn't bland but wa sjust plain crpapy (can't believe I liked that show when I was younger). "He's overshadowed by every single minor character in the movie including the people on the ferrys." How can any serious movie fan disagree with this assessment? All the nameless characters on those ferries who had less than 5 minutes screen time actually had real character development unlike Blame's Batman who just seemingly went through the motions. I *knew* exactly what the character was gonna do. *yawn*
