Half-Life
Or make good games crappy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Never!!!! Coop never makes a game crappy. How on earth can playing a game coop make the game worse? As for Halo, I waited since 1999/2000 for this game. Followed it closely, and then it went to XBOX. Then they made the PC port and decided coop wasn't good enough. And while I like the game and since I love Half-Life and Halo was definitely inspired by it, I did enjoy Halo. However, the copy and paste school of level design made the middle levels cool. The beginning was sweet, but the the Strogg or whatever came into the game, and I found things just became blah. Trudging through the library and the rest of the identical looking levels was just unfun, and uncreative IMO. And since I didn't have a coop mode to carry me through the game, by the time I finally played Halo my expectations of it had been thoroughly crushed, and I immediately went back to Half-Life and waited hoping for Half-Life 2 to be announced. I haven't played Halo 2 except for the first little bit, and the only reason why I played it was because it was coop. I wasn't overwhelmingly impressed, and certainly didn't see how the game apparently looked so superior to Half-Life 2 or Doom 3 that all the Epiphany's of the world kept telling me it was. In the end, 7/10 for Halo. So much anticipation for a developer hitting CTRL-C and CTRL-V to make a level was rather disappointing.

I think the Joe/Gary acquistion might be good for Atlanta, and I'm thinking the Isibister trade was a bit of a salary dump.

It's just that you quoted numbers man, and then made a post that seemed to criticize numbers man, although it seemed more like violent agreement or something.

Hahaha thanks! I should see if I can find my old VHS copies of the Kevin Smith movies. I love the discussion in clerks about the morality of the Rebels destroying the second death star. What with the independent contractors and all.

Spector fans Rejoice or fear... Deus Ex, the movie
I almost wonder if it'd be better if they didn't take the story from one of the games and just worked in the environment.

Wait wait...where's my pen??!??! Do they have to stalk celebrities?

Spector fans Rejoice or fear... Deus Ex, the movie
The story itself has the potential for a cool movie, and special effects could have a field day with it. Although whether or not it turns into a good movie is another story..... But I can see it having some promise. The main concern is that the game was actually quite long, and seemed to keep going (but in a good way). I'm not sure how much justice can be done in a 2-3 hour movie.

If that's true, I bow to your womanizing skills (and takes this idea down into his notes).

Messier in Edmonton would be quite appropriate for what's likely his final season. It'd surely get fans in the seats, although I doubt that'd be a problem. When Edmonton offered to return money to season ticket holders or allow season ticket holders to earn a small percentage as "investment" in the team, virtually all of them kept their season tickets. All in all there's quite the buzz in the air about the prospects, as well as any unrestricted free agents.

I did tell her to bring it on. I still have the scars to prove it!!!

I know it was hilarious. Talking about Vader in all of his black beauty, and then this scrawny white boy, with blond hair blue eyes goes and chops off his hand. If I remember, Banky says something along the lines of "So? White is right" or some off the wall totally racist remark, and the speaker ends up shooting him.

Nah, she already had a 6'7" boyfriend, and was probably too much of a ball-buster for me Britney Spears had a bit less flamboyant personality, and was all in all a very sweet person. Ashley Judd was very outspoken, and would rip your heart out if she felt it was necessary. For the most part she was nice and fun, but whoa....you didn't screw up her order without feeling her wrath....aieee! Hilary Swank was also pretty fun, but I found her to have too many mood swings for my liking. The ones that interested me the most in a more "romantic" sort of way were the ones that seemed to deal with the stress of working in a restaurant in a unique, often times fun way.

We're both famous!! I also had a coworker that looked like Harry Potter, and he was really made fun of by the guys in the kitchen (along with me). However, we were able to successfully turn it around on them because I never heard any of the waitresses talk about them, just the two look-a-likes. That put things in perspective. One guy looked a bit like Edward Norton, but not enough to make fun of him (plus the young staff probably didn't know who Edward Norton was). Some of the waitresses looked like famous people too. One was a dead ringer for Hilary Swank, and another had quite a resemblance to Ashley Judd. There was also one that looked like a younger Britney Spears (young as in before she went wacko and started with the insano makeup and whatnot). I asked her out, she said no...my heart was crushed :D

What TV Shows Are You Anticipating?
I've heard Alias has gone down the tubes according to my roommate. I just watch the odd episode, usually for the Garner factor I'm really looking forward to 24. Not only is it the bestest show evah, I'm really curious how they're going to pick up after last season's ending.

That's me in disguise! But seriously I have quite a resemblance to Tobey Maguire, especially when I have my hair short. I don't usually see it, but the picture I posted there seemed quite accurate. I could totally see that expression on my face too!! All my friends and coworkers would always bring it up, and my basketball buddies would sometimes refer to me as "Parker" while on the court. Whenever I made a nice play I attributed it to my Spidey senses I knew things got bad though, when a little kid in West Edmonton Mall pointed me out to his mother saying "Look mom! Spiderman!" hehehe

Interesting. It's nice to see the open relationship. What's Sarah think of your Mom? (funny story, I have a friend of mine that works at her local Boston Pizza, and I guess she had two lesbians making out in her section, and the table of young guys staring in fascination....she said it was an "interesting" day at work :D) And Hugh does have that rugged handsomeness! Here's a picture of me :cool::

Hahahaha. But to give yourself credit, you were just acting out in the SciFi universe. You could argue that you DO differentiate between fantasy and reality, and that you associate the rules of the Star Wars universe to Star Wars games. Although I think calling you a murderer while you play corrupting murder simulators might be a bit easier.- Coolest Looking Sith Lord (K1, K2, Movies)
I voted for Vader. It's likely a nostalgic Bias, but the machinery and glossy panelling, with a skull-like face just scream "don't fuxx0r with me d00d"
