Jewey Jewington? (Not meant to be anti-semetic...just thought it was funny when John Stewart said it...)

Good idea, Walsingham. Though wouldn't MPs fit the bill?

Didn't Halo 2 sell upwards of 6,000,000 copies? 500,000 doesn't seem so great by comparison...

Well, we must differ in our moral structure...I happen to value family and friends over my reputation. If I were to be branded a coward, and my loved ones were unharmed, I wouldn't care. Yes I see where you're coming from, but tell me, what can a police officer do against a hurricane, coupled with mass flooding? Surely, you understand that they could very well have opted to "protect, honor, and serve" their kin...if only to make sure of their safety. Then again...if this were the case, they'd be back to work by now. Or not, I'm not down there, so I don't really know the situation beyond what the news tells me. I'm only saying...don't immediately assume the worst about these people, they must have their reasons.

Perhaps those officers placed more import on the safety of their families rather than their jobs...

This is actually, more or less, typical of Mr. Big Cat here " .

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9286534/ Pretty much says it all... Why not blame Bush, Ender, or every branch of the federal and state government that could have acted to lessen the severity of the current situation yet failed to do so? (Remind anybody of the reports prior to 9/11, regarding a Mr. Bin Laden...which no-one so much as batted an eye at?) The state failed the city, and the federal government failed the state. But less focus on how this happened for right now...do what's necessary to help those poor people, and then impeach Bush and hang the various leaders in his administration by their entrails...

That's actually really well put...

Never saw it with him hosting, so I can't really judge who's the better of the two.

No need for the sarcasm...not the patient sort, are you? And I'm going to completely dodge this, since I know you've got one hell of an argument there for your opinion/fact, and simply say, "It's all subjective...one man's FPS, regardless of the industry's classification, is another's RPG." In other words...it really doesn't matter what it is...it just depends on the way you, as an individual, happen to view it.

I still don't see a need for the correlation between stats and playing a role, while interacting with characters (I define interaction as speaking with them when you want, and options on what to say, or do with them.) and moving through a story arch, at least partly through your own actions. Complete Linearity doesn't enter my mind as being a characteristic of an RPG...though it may very well have been in the past. Is it because stats are the only current way to measure a character's capabilities? If so, why not develop some type of system based upon the player's actions, choices, and movements within the game... (Easier said than done, but I can still dream ya know.) Oh, and in keeping with my argument in another thread...RPG is a subjective term.

Suddenly, I feel young. Who's Craig Kilborn? Stewart's the only one I've ever known to host the Daily Show.

You forgot character interaction. A big difference between MG:S 2 and say, Fallout, or KOTOR. Darque's got the right idea.

Same here. And by the way...I love this damn show.

Just get Guild Wars....No monthly fee "

192 compared to 1,940 isn't exactly a stunning accomplishment.

Sorry, but this really works best if you've been here a while and have an established reputation. But hang around a bit and one might get made (assuming this thread lasts that long) @Musopticon: Are you referring to Shadowpaladin? Cause PotentPaladin doesn't show up on the member search. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have no reputation, and am unloved :'( Yet, still, Mr. Eldar was nice enough to think up a card for me. A card which I like quite a bit.

I thought that's what the subtitles, and ability to turn off voice volume (in some titles) were for.

Well, he does tend to belabor the point...

I see that there's a wealth of interest in this game.

If he could be considered a celebrity...I'd say Jack Thompson...or maybe some other right-wing psychopath, bent on annihilating all traces of fun in the world...
