  2. How is that even possible? Were you born in 2000?
  3. You tell em, Joe Bulock.
  4. It's convenient that Black Metal can be abbreviated as "BM", because it really helps to illustrate exactly what Black Metal is. A BM.
  5. That's very unlikely, since Wizards of the Coast (the owners of D&D) no longer make much stuff for the Planescape setting and will be busy promoting their 4th. Edition rules soon. However, if you like the Planescape setting, Rogue Dao Studios is producing a series of mods for Neverwinter Nights 2 called The Planescape Trilogy. A lot of people seem to be looking forward to that. I had actually heard that Planescape would be one of the first sets to come out for 4th, but I'm not sure how much I trust the person I heard it from.
  6. You know what could have stopped this? More guns. Somebody had to say it.
  7. Best commercial ever? Maybe. DEFINITELY.
  8. I'm going to hijack this thread and insert my own crazy link. Reminds me of the Chick's Tracts I used to find around campus.
  9. I'll give it some consideration once school winds down. It's getting to about finals time. No time for dallying.
  10. If "Re-volved" means "declined in quality", then yes, I agree with you. I'm not sure how "down" this forum is with books or humor, but I recently acquired the audiobook version of and I figured I'd share it. Sound quality wasn't that great to begin with, so I slimmed it down to 128 kbps for optimal size. It's good for driving, or for the illiterate, who probably won't know to partake, sadly. http://www.sendspace.com/file/pe0mod
  11. http://www.mediafire.com/?12nd0tzf2vt Absolutely essential. Hear what devolved into the Mars Volta and weep.
  12. Spot the codexians! You can probably spot me, as well.
  13. If you've got money to burn it's probably more practical to get a realdoll. Ew.
  14. But... the soul stones were functional. There wasn't a single one that wasn't used for a quest. The text given was just part of the puzzle (find the 3 evil souls, etc.)
  15. Come over to the States for awhile. It's not so much the case that repression is old or endemic to judeo-christian cultures (it's a hell of a lot worse in Sudan than it is here) so much as it's the case that libertinism is new. If that makes any sense.
  16. We certainly can't all be. Then there wouldn't be a point in even having a list.
  17. AvP's sole purpose was to make boatloads of cash (I'm not sure if it succeeded, I'm sure it was at least moderately successful) and the best way to achieve that wass by increasing attendance at showings, and the best way to do that wass to make sure that nobody, least of the young consumers far removed from critical thinking and oblivious to obviously low quality, could be turned away at the door. Hence, PG-13 rating. See also - Live Free or Die Hard, a PG-13 movie in a tired R franchise. Games seem to run the exact opposite way. If you want to go for the big bucks, you go for the M rating, unless you're making a platformer. I can't remember the last time I played a really well-done T-rated game that wasn't on a Nintendo system (maybe Burnout 3). Whether this has to do with lack of movie-style sales regulation is not for me to say. Regardless, you're right that the industry is appealing to teenagers, but teenagers find those things which are supposedly meant for adults appealing.
  18. CD 1 http://www.sendspace.com/file/puelba CD 2 http://www.sendspace.com/file/n38tec Also, in case you're not having enough nightmares about Christmas.
  19. Discuss amongst yourselves. Be sure to be as melodramatic and petty as possible.
  20. It's interesting, you know, people who can't accept the necessarily deterministic nature of video games. They have to be either incredibly thick or staunch codexians. Silly philosophical libertarians. One pictures them getting indignant at not being able to fly when they jump, when they've made a choice to fly.
  21. I hear you. You are saying "Pop, we are in need. We are in need of music that will make us dance, dance like gay boys. We need something that sounds like the love child of Prince and Justice, raised by a linebacker." Never say I've never done anything for you. http://www.sendspace.com/file/fvfexi PEACE LOVE ECSTASY PEACE LOVE ECSTASY PEACE LOVE ECSTASY UNITY RESPECT
  22. I'm going to use this post as a placeholder so I can move my music over to a computer that can actually burn CDs. It's a collection of songs I plan to load onto my 360 and use in place of the oft-not there ME score. http://www.mediafire.com/?7nh2sc8jtyj thx.
  23. I can't think of any game that would be markedly improved by a step up from M to AO. The gulf between the ratings isn't nearly as large as the gulf between T and M. AO is just a "more hardcore" M, of course. I don't think Mass Effect would have been greatly raised in esteem by the presence of sky blue juggs. Hell, most of the time, AO content can be outright distracting. During the ME sex scenes I was thinking "Really, Bioware? This is what you really want your games to be remembered for?" I don't consider myself to be a conservative gamer in any sense of the word, I'm not squeamish about sex in games (although I do find it ridiculous for the most part) and I'm not usually one to say what games should or should not be, but I think I get where Bioware was coming from, and I still think that games ought to be more developed and accepted as an art form before we start getting that serious. We don't want to put the cart before the horse. At this point sexual content looks more juvenile than progressive.
