  1. "Cool car!" goes to the healthy section "OMG OMG OMG C0wL CaWl I need to take it with me to the bathroom" does not. It goes without saying that appreciation of boobs doesn't incite the same reactions as appreciation for cars.
  2. It's a graphic depiction like any other. If you see a drawing of a really cool real car, you say "cool car!", not "oh it's just a drawing, it's freaky to appreciate fake cars when there are real ones going around." It's the same thing with bewbs.
  3. Fall? LOL Every subsequent Bio game since BG has been (more or less) an improvement over its predecessor. If you're not Volo, how do you figure that?
  4. wot, the movies?
  5. Wrath of Khan isn't half bad. All others are utter rubbish.
  6. The films of Yasujiro Ozu could be nice.
  7. I wonder what Obsidian thinks of Bioware's media blitzkrieg for ME2.
  8. Crocodile Dundee is awesome. Awesome!
  9. Not trying to call you out bro but are you reading what your writing? A game is meant for entertainment: fun = them doing their jobs. If I want something intelligent I'll read a quantum physics textbook. And honestly, I don't mind, in fact I rather like the story to be simple in video games. Simple doesn't have to mean childish or cliche. I don't particularly enjoy the way bioware (and other developers?) is moving, where they try and create these tough/morally ambigious choices for the player to make. That kind of crap stresses me out. Sure I guess in some sense it creates a more personal and engaging story but really in my mind it creates doubt, confusion, and ultimately the choice has no real consequence in many cases. That's a pretty narrow view of entertainment you got there. I certainly have more fun with a piece of entertainment which challenges me emotionally, then one that doesn't.
  10. It's basic wish fulfillment for kids. It's funny how games that are offered by their devs as complex and mature inevitably follow a plot hook that was essentially designed to appeal to preteen boys. It's just pandering to the masses.
  11. They do it little by little. They are like the national equivalent of cigarettes.
  12. But thats because he got his ass so thoroughly handed to him 18 years prior, not because he saw the error of his ways. Having every aspect of your military decimated coupled with crushing embargos is what kept him in place in the 00's. Not quite, I'd say. It seems unlikely that Saddam would think he could win a conventional war against the US before the Gulf War. What makes some sense is that he figured the US wouldn't respond to the invasion of Kuwait. He figured wrong, of course.
  13. Kuwait? He got his ass kicked 18 years ago, and no one ever heard from him again. Until Bush's administration decided Iraq might be a nice target, that is. A better example for destabilization would be the Iran

  15. Wait, what? Saddam wasn't a very nice guy, but it's not like he was a big source of instability in the region. If anything, he provided a balance of power between Iraq and Iran. Now, with him gone, the whole region will probably be soon at the mercy of Iran, who can actually become a real threat to the US, if it really wants to. Oh, and people are wondering about where Saddam's WMD's were? I have no idea if he still had them or not by the time of the invasion, but if he did I'm sure he was itching to use them on rebellious Iraqis, assuming he hadn't already spent them. Which was, of course, why he got the WMD's in the first place. Then again, though, I guess Saddam being toppled by the US military wasn't as bad as it might have been if he had just died by himself. An oil fueled power vacuum after his death could well have become a complete disaster. In any case, I'm just waiting for Greater Iran to happen.
  16. I am now worshipped as a god. EDIT: Final stats: 21% Brutality vs. 79% Finesse 95% Cunning vs. 5% Honor 33% Disdain vs. 67% Vigilance Infamy: 62% Wealth: 18500 gold coins Wounds: 1 Blasphemy: 1
  17. The problem is that the good looking one is a real person while the other one is plasticky and artificial. Then again, most guys seem to consider, say, Carmen Electra hawt, so what do I know.
  18. I ate Juliet. This is unbelievably awesome and better than any big RPG released last year.
  19. Instead of starting a thread for every question you have, post them here. Also, try not to spam the forum.
  20. There's also whatever RPGs you can find here.
  21. These aren't just minor characters, they are the main antagonists. If they didn't make time in the script to give the main antagonists a bit of depth, then it's a pretty flawed script.
  22. I'm pretty sure Parker doesn't show remorse or doubt repeatedly. He shows remorse precisely one time in the entire movie, when someone mentions children. That's it. And it's the last time we hear of the character. He's a one note character who flip flops when the plot requires it.
  23. ROFL. Still closed, though.
