Dark Moth

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger Which I will also dedicate to Lou Gutman

Just as a start, I loved Satan in Milton's Paradise Lost. Antiheroes ahoy. :D Same with Macbeth.

I've missed so much art! (w00t) You guys are awesome. Keep up the great drawings, everyone!

Pity. I was planning on seeing it. BTW, has anyone here seen Saw 2? I've heard some say it was better than the first, others it's complete crap.

Um, are you sure you have that right? Burroughs wrote an entire series of sci-fi books, most notably his Barsoom (Martian) and Venus series.

Age of Mythology: The Titans Egyptians are teh r0xors.

That's what I meant. Actually, I was referring to western nations in general. But I'm glad to see you other nations place such a high value on our lives!

But still able to administer pleasure, I imagine.

Chuck Norris kills twelve white guys every weekend - just to prove he's not racist! "

Dunno. Probably the same reason some people now seem to like to joke about Chuck Norris. We (as in all Americans who make said jests) don't know, it's just fun to do. Though I'm willing to bet some people do it out of genuine dislike for the French. :D And just so you know, I don't make jokes about France often. I just decided to use this forum as an opportunity to post some bad France jokes. BTW, did you know that there's no such thing as tornados, Chuck Norris just doesn't like trailer parks?

That's why I try not to mess with inside components too much. Trying to replace my computer's power supply was bad enough. Now that was interesting.

As in, those who like to make jokes about France being pansy surrender-monkeys.

Never bothered me before. Um, oh yeah - mousepad.

:"> But still, I thought optical mice didn't need a mousepad. The one I'm using now doesn't.

First off, I'd recommend eventually getting an optical mouse, not the outdated ball ones. They're very smooth, and you won't even need a mousepad.

In all fairness though, France is hardly the pansy surrender-monkey nation we like to make it out to be (at least in the historical sense). France's history is loaded with conflicts, and Europe twice in its history had to unify against France just to counter and end its expansionist tendancies. (Age of French Absolutism under Louis XVI and the Napoleonic Era)

Eldar! I thought you were dead! How careless of me, I should have finished him off myself!

That's depressing...and here I thought I gave a fairly accurate review of Hades.

I killed it. :">

I've always thought the scene with Pai Mae (sp?) is it's one redeeming feature.

That's interesting. I've often heard people just dismiss the first as a mindless gore-fest and say the second had the better "plot". Oh, just saw Master of the Flying Guillotine again. Don't ask me why I like it. Yes, I know it's heavy on the cheese. I think it's just that decapitation turns me on.

I don't think there's any one reason for it. Maybe because they make such an easy target. Same way I don't think anybody understands the sudden explosion in "Chuck Norris" jokes. :D Though it may have something to do with Walker, Texas Ranger, which just the other day I heard someone describe as Power Rangers for adults.

Yeah, so could Jolee Bindo, Bastila, Malak, Juhani. In other words, it's a game, so one can't make conclusions based on that.

It also has to do a lot with the mindset of the Vietnamese and Americans. The Americans, in their stereotypical views, thought the "g**ks" would fall easily. But in reality, they have a tenacity that we did not, and maybe still do not understand. We Americans tend to mope about "America's Longest War". Deep down, they were laughing at us. It took them hundreds of years to drive the Mongols out, many years (I can't remember how many) to drive the French out, and then we come along. To them, by then it was just the same old stuff. We Americans as well as many western nations sometimes tend to be more sensitive than other nations when it comes to losses. Don't get me wrong, I'm upset by casualties as anyone would be. I'd like to think it's because we place a higher value on life. Any amount of casualties is bad, IMO. But we wept and moaned over the loss of our soldiers, but they were losing many more, and yet still could out-endure us. So in many ways, Vietnam was doomed from the start. That's one reason why the opponents we face in the Middle East today look at us as a "paper tiger". They look at our actions in the past, and believe that we'll turn and run with our tails between our legs once the casualties start to get to us.

Hellgate: London and Starcraft: Ghost. Geez, I've lost count of how many times that game (SG) has been postponed. Wasn't the bloody thing supposed to be released like two years ago? But at least they're releasing it for the old X-Box platform and not the 360.
