Hmmmm....I did like Jaheira's accent....but was that an English accent? It was something over in the Your-UP area.

I liked Ellis as his character, Michael Amadore in Season 3 of 24

According to Hades/Visceris/Rabbit man, I'm am equivalent of many Gods :D

There are general objective traits to good writing. You should take one, regardless of your area of study. They can be very fun and very aggravating. Just stay away from Poetry unless you want to erode your sanity. I've considered taking one, as ultimately I'd love to get into game development. The problem is that I'm concerned about the workload for the rest of my classes. Although I may just audit it, so that I don't have to worry about credit. Wouldn't want to dampen my fun by getting crap crap marks.

Thanks! :D

I don't mind a good violin. Last of the Mohicans is a killer soundtrack!

I thought he was just referring to me as Gods. As in so Godly that being one deity just doesn't cut it.

Are there objective traits to good writing? Or is it mostly just subjective? I have never taken a creative writing course.

With a good imagination though, you can "show" yourself anything...even if you're just being told.

Yup. They don't "show" me anything IMO. They leave it to me to show myself.

I guess it IS just what you're listening too right now :D

How is he racist? I think people need to be a little less sensitive.

Not a huge fan of Oasis. But I do like Wonderwall.

Because the ending sucked. Good writing requires that we are shown what is going on and not simply told. Basic Creative Writing 101. That bit made me think that Chris A. needed to head back to college and take refresher courses. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How do you "show" anything when using words. Seems like you're just "telling" them after all :D

Are you talking about sports games? I'm not even sure they only have 1 year development cycles (as they could have an 18 month cycle or so, kind of like Graphics Card manufacturers). Even if they do have a 1 year development cycle, it still doesn't stop them from cutting out stuff (like Create-A-Player...thank god I didn't buy the latest NHL). I also hold them in a different category since they don't need to burden themselves with a story or anything of significance. In fact, given the fact that I don't like most sports games because of poor AI (games like Football can mask this, since plays are very structured and don't last long enough for AI deficiencies to really materialize). Also, maybe Obsidian finds it more difficult to force their employees into ungawdly work hours And no, I wasn't being clueless on purpose.

I like Don Cherry (racist?) because he's not a typical, PC douchebag like most sports announcers (although I think Kelly Hrudey is my favourite Hockey Night in Canada announcer...I like "In the Crease"). I respect a guy that speaks his mind.

I missed out on many good adventure games because I either wasn't playing many PC games at the time, or I was so engaged in a different PC Game (such as Ultima VII, or Half-Life) that the game came and went without even registering a blip on my radar. Although I didn't really get back into PC gaming until about 1999. I had always had some good PC games, in addition to my console gaming. But 1999 is when I pretty much quit playing consoles.

That's what I thought. I just like to hear people reaffirm my grasp on reality.

A Perfect Circle....if I recall they have a very "Tool" like sound (given that I think at least one band member was from Tool) do they not? I also like Tool....although just their radio songs. They're not radio songs are rather.....bizarre

I'm listening to my air fan behind me. Aside from that, it's the sweet, sweet relaxing sound of silence. Although seriously my music preferences are bands like Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, U2, etc.

Just curious....why do threads like this always seem to pop up?

Grrrrrrr. I'm so a PC Gamer Although I did take a hiatus when I was younger, because it was so much easier to get games for consoles....plus I could play them with my friends easier and stuff. Last console I've owned was PSX though.

Chun Li was a sex symbol? I mean, just because she wear's a scantily clad outfit, in in later iterations of the game when she does her fireball basically has her skirt flip up to expose her bare bum does not make her a sex symbol. I was literally left with my jaw hanging when one of my roommate's friends (whom I don't particularly care for BTW) made the comment "I don't see why they don't just let you unlock the ability to remove their clothes" when he was watching the trailer for DoA. And he was dead serious.

That is true! I guess I can live with TOMBS DS, because it will make my TOMBS experience just as good. I imagine they are cross-platform compatible?

Only if they port it to PC so I can play it :D
