There aren't any clips or even concept art out from the live action movie yet. The official site should be up around Comicon though, and we should at least see some designs then, as Hasbro has been on the filmmakers asses to get the designs finalized so they can start working on the toys. Theres been a lot of various transforming robot clips around though. The clip of the jet flying through the city on the page ILC linked to is by a guy that went to the same 3d school as me.

I just saw Bale in Equilibrium. IMO, he did a great job portraying the cleric Preston and I think he could make a good Bruce/Batman. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this movie. :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was just going to say. Over on the SuperheroHype forums Bale was the fan favorite to play Batman after Equilibrium came out. Even my dad after seeing it said "They should get that guy to play Batman."

On another forum there are a bunch of people who are Boycotting anything by Orson Scott Card because he's one of those anti-gay "if you don't support president Bush you're a traitor" type republicans. Just a fun fact. I was interested in the game but from what I'm hearing the story is the only good part of the game.

I asked my physics teacher about this a few years ago and he said the current theory about faster than light travel is based around another dimension where everything is composed of particles called tachyons that all move faster than light. I figure if we ever develop some sort of interstellar rapid transit system it will either involved that, or spacefold, and will require jumpgates.

http://www.themoog.f2s.com/2CV.wmv Here was a spoof of that Citroen ad. It used to have all the logos and such that the original had, and said "Old Citroen, Zero Technology" but Citroen asked for their logos to be removed, so this is the clean version.

Sion. Personally I hate these quizzes because I always look at the options and think "Ok... none of the above."

I think the whole PC = superior thing is because of two things. RPGs on PC have a lot more depth, and controls for FPS are MUCH better on PC. Thats it, thats all, theres nothing else when it comes to games thats better for PC than for console.

Dude, awesome. glad I finally found an excuse to use that.

Instruments of Destruction is a good one too. And the version of the TF theme White Lion did is awesome. Transformers Something evil's watching over you Comin' from the sky above And there's nothing you can do Prepare to strike There'll be no place to run When your caught within the grip Of the evil Unicron Transformers More than meets the eye Transformers Robots in Disguise Strong enough to break the bravest heart So we have to pull together We can't stay worlds apart To stand divided we will surely fall Until our darkest hour When the light will save us all Transformers More than meets the eye Transformers Robots in Disguise Transformers Autobots wage their Battle To destroy the evil forces Of the Decepticons It's judgment day and now we've made our stand And for now the powers of darkness Have been driven from our land The Battle's over but the war has just begun And this way it will remain til the day when all are one

I believe somewhat in democracy. Direct democracy doesn't work, but representative democracy works somewhat. I think in a representative democracy, or Republic, the voting system should be proportional, that way people who vote for smaller parties who more accurately represent their views don't feel like they're wasting their vote. Much like the previous federal election here, I voted NDP, which is the social democrat party here, but they lost out to the CPC(Conservative Party of Canada) by like 200 votes. So me, a social liberal with socialist economic views, is being represented by a social conservative with conservative economic views, and they weren't elected by a large margin so its not like I'm a small minority. IMO the first past the post voting system somewhat undermines the democratic system. As to the poll, I can't vote for just one. I believe in democracy, but representative democracy is still oligarchic

The FF Legends games on Gameboy were actually Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana) games. So I can see why you were disappointed in the gameplay. And if you want a bit more interaction than the standard Console RPG fare, check out the Suikoden series. They actually ask for your input every now and then.

I just finished up my 5 free days of City of Heroes (past subscribers got their accounts activated for 5 days for the 1 year anniversary of the game). I missed that game. Wish I could afford the monthly to play it more.

I dunno, but Dare To Be Stupid was an awesome addition. More movies need Wierd Al songs.

It was being developed in house by LucasArts, not by Obsidian.

I read a transformers one once, Its amazing how many possible deaths you can have in those books.

We either A)Rot, B)Burn, or C)Are artificially preserved.

That wasn't a very good trailer, but the game looks interesting.

From what I've heard is that the Xbox games need to be recompiled to work on the Xbox360. So it will be similar to Playstation emulators on the PC, where you need a small file on your hard drive for each game to be able to run it. So the 360 will come pre-loaded with those files for their top selling games, and eventually they'll probably release the rest of the games over live. Anyway, I'll be going the PS3 at first, mostly for GTA4, MGS4, and Japanese RPGs. But apparently the 360 will be getting some JRPG support, plus the bioware support so I'll probably grab one of those when I can afford it.

Yup, I have a PC, and I also have Morrowind, KOTOR and KOTOR 2, which I think are 3 of the "4 or 5 RPGs for XBOX", so XBOX isn't really an option. And for Morrowind, I've got like 100+ mods installed. Don't consider Morrowind a "good RPG", but do consider it a really good adventure/exploration game. I really like the game, but not as an RPG. So FFXI, would that be "typical" of JRPGs? If I like that game, chances are I'll like many of the others? And the Zelda games, those are or are not "typical" of JRPGs? I've played them all through Ocarina of Time, and really liked them, especially Ocarina. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, if you like FFX, you'll typically like JRPGs. There are quite a few out there that are better than FFX as well, like the Suikoden games.

I actually didn't notice much wrong with Planescape.

How was Wild Arms 3? I played the first one waayyy back and remember liking it...I didn't even know that WA3 was out for the PS2 (or WA2 for that matter...) - I saw it for dirt cheap but picked up Xenosaga 2 instead. I was tempted to try Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter as well, which was also available for an absurdly cheap price. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Theres a reason Dragon Quarter is absurdly cheap. I'm just glad they left "5" out of the title so there might be a possibility of there being a Breath of Fire 5. Dragon Quarter is like if you take a Breath of Fire game, and take everything you liked about the first 4, set it off to the side, then think of the one story and setting that could drive away whatever fans of the BoF games still remained. Wild Arms 3 was ok, but its waaaaaaay too simplified. You only get 4 characters through the whole game, which I guess allows for more character depth, but they don't bother with that. The game follows the formula of: Go to town > Go to Dungeon > Go to town > Go to Dungeon. Over and over. Wild Arms 2 is the best of the 3, but they're remaking Wild Arms 1 for the PS2, so it will be interesting to see what they add to it.

He actually has to like JRPG's though...and they can be an acquired taste. Excluding that of the JRPG variety, the PS2 has about 1 or 2 decent RPG's which doesn't really make it worth it...unless he likes JRPG's of course! ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And chances are he has a PC, since he's on the boards here, which leaves 1 or 2 on the Xbox so unless he likes JRPGs, he's SOL.

From what I've seen they're very vocal over there.

The problem with Revan being the PC is that he regained his memories. He's not our character anymore.

Xbox has like 4 or 5 RPGs. 3 of which are available on PC with better graphics(well, if you download mods for Morrowind it has better graphics). PS2 has tons of RPGs as long as you don't mind JRPGs. I personally own Suikoden 3, FFX, FFX-2, Star Ocean: Until the End of Time, Wild Arms 3, and Xenosaga. I want to buy Xenosaga 2 and Suikoden 4. I've heard good things about a couple others mentioned here, and FFXII is coming out sometime either around christmas or sometime next year.
