getting hit with an arrow near a wall will usually attach you to said wall (Half Life 2, and AvP2) No matter how angry sombody gets at you you can usually become their main man within an hour (gta's and any other system with factional influence)

...Now including the much awaited live action window smash combo! Remember Kids: If it don't smash, it ain't worth trash!

I just gotta notice the title... "mines"

WTF??? Where did you get that from? The US has some of the toughest waste disposal regulations in the industrialized world. These days anyway. We might screw up royally from time to time but we usually learn from it. No more "Love Canals" these days. you realize that waste cleanup numbers change yearly.. For example Aerojet is cleaning up a groundwater contamination that was caused by rocket testing. Within the past eight years the number for "clean" has changed about 15-20 times. and I think it currently sits at about 3-5 parts per billion. So, Stringent yes, But some contamination sites might not be legally contaminated this year so they just pump it out.

one of the problems with how evil is done now is that you CAN'T manipulate the player. Usually if you attempt to manipulate the player into doing evil acts after the first success he realizes that he's evil because: Darkside Points gained/Alignment evil +1 Also one would think that haviang people react to you being Evil on the street would be interesting (like having merchants visibly tremble when you try to purchase somthing.

It is still piracy, because recording a TV show is allowed only for personal use. Have they secured international copyright? Do they visibly enforce their copyright? If I remember right as long as you see it in the form it was shown on tv it's not protected because it was released to the general public for viewing. (otherwise DVR and Tivo wouldn't work.)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the New Smash Bros for wii. (ALMOST ready to take preorders for that.

what'd be really funny is both in the same guild... Patrick stewart ad overall raid leader, Shatner as main tank "Make it so" mob gets in range "KHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!"

but where would you say that in WoW? "Ready? KHHHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN! More Dot's More DOt's!"

Yes you can, the X-Wing fighter collection includes both X-Wing and Tie Fighter, both will run on windows XP. Tie Fighter Collectors CD rom no longer works. THe rerelease that they had doesn't have the last 4/5 tours of duty in them. it ends with Zarrin going rogue and nearly kidnaping the emperor.

I'm a Lawful Neutral Celtic Dragon....

an elven knight who has a thing for black? I got dragon..

What'd be interesting is if Josh and his cohorts made a game that tries to avoid at least 3/4's of the cliches. For example, your party is a bunch of mooks who run around trying to save a dying corrupt empire.

For Godfather, the game is almost exactly like gta... only shorter. on my Ps2 game I'm about this close to being the don of ny, but both the places i have to take over are closed because Their owners got killed and they won't reopen for a long long time.

Yes... that's right... I'm making a topic in which you try to rattle off all the stupid things you've learned about life and warfare from your computer games. For Example I've learned from the Warriors games (Koei's benchmark for any run around and slaughter game): If you are unique, you can take anything be it a sword, shield, feather fan (that shoots lazers....), Childs toy, your arms, flintlock pistols(that are rapid fire), a giant mace, axes, spears, a deck of cards... whatever, and make it kill in one blow. You will also be a great general Rice balls will heal any wound... even those inflicted by a giant cannon the size of a bus. Some warriors on the battlefield are so femenine even the ladies man will take him for a girl. (ranamru Mori) One soldier will win a fight by standing at a crossroads and mowing down close to 1000 men and officers in a five minute period All wives of generals were either spies, or ninjas, or both. And from other games Soldiers are never born and trained. they are made from credits and walk out of a tent in a field.(Strat games) Germans always stopped to let the allied rangers run in front of them (Company of Heroes) In the future, our biological processes will be integrated with a technological neuronet that will allow us to hack robots by looking at them (Deus Ex Invisible War) Anytime "interdimentional transport" is mentioned... run the other way, VERY FAST. (FPS Half Life) Hot half naked chicks will try to kill you.(Sin:Emergance) Being the savior of the world also means you are the only guy who makes the mail go. (about half the RPG's on the planet) Saviors never screw up when they save the world... the world screws up and needs saving again. (Jrpgs and their sequals) Cars when flipped blow up (see GTA series) In WWII a soldier could be hit by 1000 rounds, three tank blasts, a strafing run, grenades, mg42's and your average beanbag and survive as long as he had three seconds to duck and cover (Call of duty 2) Cyborgs are evil when the person requested to become a 'borg, And good when they must be a 'borg to survive.(General) Guns when in the hands of anyone except the player, only hit the ground. In the hands of a player, the worst accuracy gun will be able to knock a beerbottle off of William tells forehead at 2000 yds.(older FPS') Crossbows do more damage than your average shotgun.(Half Life 2) It is better to be a Quest giver than a Quest doer (WoW... You get some serious treasures for some of those quest givers) The same battle will always have new stuff to play (Star Wars and it's hoth. As well as playing airborne during normandy) The party leader is always a savior or some sort of chosen one. It's NEVER a party member. The party leader is (when the leader isn't player made) male. The love interest in the game will either A) die B) marry the protagonist or C) live a life of solitude because the protagonist dies/goes on a journey to find themselves or is exiled. think up some of your own.

El Hazard is psychotic... a guy who gets more powerful as he sober's up and stops smoking... a girl who can always see the truth, a guy who can talk to anything. It's worse than tenchi Muyo's hijinks.

look... if you pulled SS out from under the illegals but allowed them to do basic jobs (you ain't exactly going to go out and help your farmer friend harvest his crops are you? in the middle of SUMMER!?) we'd probably have a much better time putting up with them. (on a side note, I probably have worked with at least a half dozen in the past year.) Another thing to think about, If you drop the illegals McDonalds and every other job of similar style (work your butt off for minimum wage and no benefits) would pretty much die a horrible death beacuse they didn't have enough workers to give you lunch.

rassa frassa... Why don't they follow their own extra content. Oh, wikipedia says that the game will have a second disk with a dev diary on it that comes with every game.

Where is that evident? Surfer could very well be just like in the comics. Really, I expect Galactus to come a-knocking and Surfer to turn tables at the end. well I was just running off the trailer... Admittedly theres nothing in the trailer with much substance but :shruggles:

Which version? I had that problem on an older version of Firefox, than I upgraded to 2.0.0.1 and have not had any problems since then. It's pre 2.0 but for some reason it's working NOW...

if they have one machine for the entire school I'm willing to bet that it'll be broken in one day.

well the sailor moon that americans got was effectivly gutted... of course one of the things on the chopping blocks was in the the transformation scenes there was complete nudity.

A freedom fence... how contradictory.

yeah... the spinning blades of death were EVIL. I wonder if their wings of pegasus or whatever god power made it into the game (when you beat the origional it unlocked some dev stuff, like a character area where you met previous incarnations/ unused characters) So do we know which of the possible story lines they are following? the brother or the dad's?

Am I the only one who has trouble with the quote button? every time I use it it just resets me to the top of the page and when I go to add a reply it doesn't appear as text. (I'm using Firefox)
