    Olympics!

    It's that time again, and I've been watching the american trials (where a man ran 100 meters in 9.68 seconds with a touch too much wind at his back) and was wondering what you guys thought about the sports competition to end all competitions. I'm worried that there MIGHT be a riot or somthing at the games as the rising levels of chinese patriotism within certain sectors of the population will lead to a backlash by a diametrically opposed sector. But hey, Man I wish that they'd focus on some of the more fringe events (like, archery, rifling, and some of the field competitions) in the world media.
  4. I would guess so. RIP Don S Davis (I think that's his name)
  5. Stargate Worlds is either going to be really good or really really bad.
  6. :waits patiently for Ace Combat 7:
  7. I hope that they have an easier to manipulate lan system (instead of the "must know other computers IP addresses")
  8. Chrono Trigger?
  9. i wanna be playing fallout 3! even if i gotta pay $119.00 for the privilege. take note that it says that that edition will be out on october 7th.. it's not playable right now, it's a preorder.
  10. I keep hearing this, but I don't see it. At all. The dungeon levels look exactly like WarCraft III dungeon levels and the outside levels look exactly like the WarCraft III outside levels, except higher poly. I don't see the character models being as cartoony. They look a tad more realistic. Also I think the absence of the base from warcraft two makes things a little less toonish too.
  11. went to a friends birthday last night and ended up as the Ruskies in a game of Axis and Allies. Messed up on my first turn and purchased Tanks instead of infantry and ended up in a precarious position (the north route to Moscow was forced open my the german player) then I started pumping out infantry and was able to retake the territory. We ended up trading that territory for about three rounds. the fighting went decidedly more in my favor as I never left my tanks there to get annihilated, but I managed to wipe out all but one of his tanks in europe. Meanwhile in the pacific the american player got his butt whuped at Hawaii by the japanese (3 fighters a bomber, a sub, and two battleships attacked). However the American pulled his fighters and bombers from the mainland along with a transport and a battleship and promptly DEMOLISHED the Japanese fleet. And britan is just having problems as africa is getting taken over almost completly by Germany, and the fact that the germans blockaded the English Isles (stopping any ship production) for a little while. An interesting fight took place after we cracked the blockade and put out some transports. Germany did a fighter/bomber raid on the transports and we actually managed to shoot down the fighters (but not the bombers unfortunately.)
  12. Eh. We could set the new plotline in an invasion of the known galaxy by the "true Sith" the PC is a simple Jedi Knight. initially you're acting as a outrunner for a republic battalion. the first planet (that teaches you everything like always) has you running around with a republic commando team and ultimatly getting pushed out of the system by the Sith. After this failure you're recalled by the Order because at the moment you are the only Jedi who's not tied up in the fight. You go back to Corescant, where the council gives you a new task: Hunt for Revan. the meat of the game takes place on ALL the previous planets. The first place you are sent is Rataka, as that was the last sighting of Revan by anyone. there you learn the Exile is acting as Revans Majordomo Thus over the course of all the planets you learn the location of first the Exile then from exile you learn revans location. and that's about where my idea dies a horrible death because I can't cap it off with a climatic fight.
  13. Did we see all the origonal three heroes in D2? We saw/killed ye olde warrior (he's diablo) I think a strong argument could be made that the origional rogue could be Blood raven. Who would the Sorc be?
  14. Because reciting sound effects and acting out the on-screen action to people who have yet to see the movie just doesn't have the same effect. I agree with you completely that the lack of dialogue in no way hurt the film. It was impressive just how much they got the characters to express with just a few simple motions and just four words. I just wish it was longer. 90 minutes seems so short. I really liked the movie. So much so that I've already seen it multiple times just looking for things that I missed in prior showings. they should have had interactions between Wall-e and the Wall-Rs.
  15. Wall-e very very fun movie. but like hurl said, it's got no funny lines, only situations.
  16. I've noticed that as the gaming market increases the story of a game generally decreases. Why do they do this? Best guess is it's a tool to allow for the production times to go down as more time is now spent on creating the scenery and animations and models and whatnot over implementing a story. Imagine if we were to take oh lets say Deus Ex and put it in the Cry engine. While this would be awesomness on wheels pulled by chuck Norris, I think that it would take nearly double the time to put together because of how much of remodeling you'd have to do, And it'd take forever just to render the sucker. Also in order to cut down on Development time, At least in FPS's, Gameplay has become almost a set piece. Controls are almost always WSAD for movement, space for jump, ctrl for crouch Mouse 2 for aim shift for run... and the only major difference being the inevitable "gimmick" (that if it's in a third rate game its generally mapped to Mouse 3). while key mapping consistancy is a good thing, you don't see the old I for inventory or any of the function buttons being used to bring up a morecomplex character screen. Generally because FPS's have followed the Halo and COD model. You can only carry two guns, one sidarm and a melee weapon. This realism allows for simplification of the controls. Then theres regenerating health meters. Anyway it seems like the better graphics get the more time the dev house spends trying to get them EVEN BETTER! often at the expense of carbon copy gameplay from Halo and a gimmick.
  17. it's the class guessing game! 5 classes: Barbarian Witch doctor _______ _______ _______ my guesses for the other three? Rogue Sorcerer Necromancer Rogue would be like the assasin but a few ranged abilities Sorc I really don't need to explain do I? and a Pet class.
  18. ... it's not so much an anti bush message. Read the origional comic.
  19. Divi Dead (yes I got a legal copy) My brain is spinning trying to figure everything out. very well done game, a little too MUCH sex in it though :shruggles:
  20. ... yeah... still theres about a 5k year gap between prothean deaths and the advent of cromagnon.
