Hell Kitty

Sadly, my Stretch Armstrong succumbed to childhood curiosity and a steak knife. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I could never do that to one of my toys! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But....I just had to see what was inside. :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm pretty sure cutting open a Stretch Armstrong is one of the first signs of a serial killer. That, or brain cancer.

Stolen from some guy posting at TTLG:

I want chocolates and lollies with nanites that clean my teeth while I eat.

It is, kinda. No game needs an ending thats wide open. Thief 1 hints at a possible sequel, but raps the game up nicely. I really dislike the trend of games that don't finish the story.

Oh it's informed alright, my best friend since primary school is cricket mad, and I've watched far, far too much. At one point I even seem to be enjoying it, but the feeling passed.

Beyond Good and Evil was disappointing, because it was left open for a sequel that woill never come. The ending I've most enjoyed in recent times is that in MGS3.

No surprises there: I wouldn't like cricket if I had to watch the NZ team ... :D Cricket, in all it's forms, is boring. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thankyou, Hell Kitty, grand arbiter of taste. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You doubted anyone could call it boring, I proved you wrong.

Cricket, in all it's forms, is boring.

This Aussie feels the same way.

A game where the main character spends most of it's time sleeping probably wouldn't be very exciting.

My sister has a huge bull mastiff that slobbers like there is no tomorrow, almost knocks me down when trying to take him for a walk, and lets out a bit of wee when getting too excited. The cat buries it's own poo. Cat wins.

I don't really make a distinction between "best game" and "favourite game". Probably just not good at objectively judging games. I know what I like and I know what I don't. Monolith's FPS appeal to me more than Valve's.

Maybe in happy magical fantasy land, but the real world tells a different story. It's full of men who want nothing to do with the kids they've concieved And if you don't want said babies, you can abort them or give them up for adoption! You may be morally[/i] opposed to abortion, but that won't impact of the decisions of those who don't believe it is a problem. The stuff of fantasy. A world in which people always stop to think about whether they want children before they have sex, and people who automatically care for any and all children they concieve, may be a world you want, but it's not reality, and thus not relevant.

I'm sure radical feminists would support a womans right to have an abortion if that was what she wanted, regardless of the level of technology available to keep the fetus alive. I think the idea that such technology would lead to everyone believing that abortion is wrong is the stuff of fantasy. Jews believe that the soul enters the body at birth, and as such don't have the problem with abortion that those who believe all life is scared and life begins at conception have. So would a newly concieved fetus in some kind of incubator machine count as being born, or would it be seen as a soulless being because it has yet to be "naturally" born?

So abortion will be seen as wrong, and we won't have a problem with the increase of orphans? I don't think your scenario is at all likely.

The undead play a part in the first and third game, but they aren't the focus. I think they only make a brief appearance in the second game if they even appear at all. I prefer the urban missions much more than caverns and ruins and whatnot, which is why my favourite is Thief 2.

So a woman who desires an abortion is having an unnatural desire? If a man wants his partner/woman he slept with at some point to have an abortion, that means he is having unnatural thoughts? If a man and a woman want to **** each others brains out, but neither ever want children, they are behaving in an unnatural way? Is a miscarriage unnatural? Is post-natal depression unnatural?

I'm not sure what you mean by "go all supernatural".

Can a fetus become a person once removed from the mother? I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Last time I tried playing the original HL, many years ago now, it was so silky smooth that it gave me motion sickness if I played it more than a couple minutes. If the game was fresh in my mind then I wouldn't bother with this mod, but I'll likely play it because I can barely remember HL. The same goes for all my games. Do the people saying "but you've already played it" never replay any games? Oh, and Thief is just the bee's knees, baby. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong.

The issue isn't that he doesn't want to fight, in fact he seemed quite happy to fight when he thought the war just. The issue is that he believes the war to be illegal. If you thought your boss was involved in illegal activities that could damage the company and it's employees, would you do nothing with the reasoning that you take your paycheck so it doesn't matter whether you think it's illegal or not?

Awesomeness driven. I have three books - Talisman of Death, Sword of the Samurai, and The Forest of Doom - and to this day still find myself on the lookout for more, though they seem to be pretty rare. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have most of the Fighting Fantasy books, including things like the monster encyclopedia and such. It's my biggest nerd claim to fame/shame.

Gah! Rainbow Six Vegas also ends with a "to be continued". Not as bad as Runaway 2, at least, as it sort of gets to the end and we find out things aren't as they seem, rather than simply ending half-way through.

I got to the end of Runaway 2, only to discover that while it was indeed the end of the game, it was only halfway through the adventure. "To be continued" indeed, I'll show you where you you can shove your "to be continued"...
